A new recipe for $mandu$ was developed by adding ripened Korean cabbage $kimchi$. To counter the bad smell of ripened $kimchi$ and to enhance the function of the food, rosemary was added to it. The preference for the herb over $kimchi$ was determined via a sensory evaluation. The preference was in the following order from highest to lowest: rosemary, lemon balm, and thyme. Ripened Korean cabbage $kimchi$ was added to beef or pork stuffing for $mandu$. Sensory evaluation was used to determine the optimal contents of ripened Korean cabbage $kimchi$. The result showed that 75% of the $kimchi$ content was best for beef $mandu$ and 100% for pork $mandu$.

Kimchi is a refreshing sour food which gives sour and carbonic acid taste of carbon dioxide produced during the fermentation process. So, carbon dioxide injection was tried to raise carbonic acid taste of kimchi stored in the airtight container. First, carbon dioxide injection times of a given gas supply system were determined experimentally to attain initial concentration of 80% for different solid/liquid ratios. Since carbon dioxide is dissolved in kimchi to decrease its concentration during storage, periodical carbon dioxide injection conditions were needed and determined to keep the $CO_2$ concentration above 70%. For the initial flushing to 80% $CO_2$ concentration in model system filled with water, the injection time ranged from 40 to 89 seconds for free volumes of 2-8 L. $CO_2$ injection conditions for the under-ripened storage at $10^{\circ}C$ consisted of longer time at more frequent cycles for watery kimchi than for Chinese cabbage kimchi. At $0^{\circ}C$ of subsequent ripened stage storage of watery kimchi, the periodical injection at 3 hour interval was required because of continuous dissolution of carbon dioxide. However, Chinese cabbage kimchi did not require subsequent $CO_2$ injection during the ripened state storage and needed only flushing to 80% $CO_2$ at time of the container opening and closing. These results can be used as basic information for the programmed control of $CO_2$ injection in the kimchi container system.

Preservative and antimutagenic effects of green tea leaves added Chinese cabbage kimchi (GK1, GK2, GK3, and GK4 : 1, 2, 3 and 4 of green tea leaves (GTL) in proportion of 100 of salted Chinese cabbage were added to kimchi) were compared to those of the Chinese cabbage kimchi without GTL (control kimchi, CK). Fermentation period of GKs was further delayed than that of CK. The initial pH and acidity between GKs an CK were similar, but the time reach optimally ripened status of kimchi (pH 4.3) was different. CK took 6 days, while GK1, GK2, GK3 and GK4 took 6, 10, 12 and 14 days at 10℃, respectively. The growth of Leuconostoc sp. and Lactobacilus sp. in GKs delayed comparing to those in FCK. Among GKs, as the added amount of green tea leaves increased, the growth of lactic acid bacteria was retarded. The antimutagenic effects of juices from GKs and CK were studied against aflatoxin B₁(AFB₁) in the Ames test on Salmonella typehimurium TA100 and N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) in the SOS chromotest using E. coli PQ37. Juices from optimally ripened GKs (pH 4.3) showed 52∼76% inhibition rates against the indirect mutagen, aflatoxin B₁ induced mutagenicity while 49% inhibition rate by CK in the Ames test. Juices from GKs and CK showed 44∼67% and 36% inhibition rate against direct mutagen, MNNG (70 ng/assay) induce mutagenicity in the SOS chromotest. Thus GKs delayed fermentation period of kimchi and exhibited higher antimutagenic activity than CK.

This study was designed to investigate foreigner preferences for the sensory characteristics of kimchi with different fermentation periods. After fermentation in a 5 freezer for 1, 7, and 15 days, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi, Chonggak Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi were served to the respondents. The respondents had resided in Seoul and Kyunggi province for 3 years or less, and were from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Most respondents (62.9%) consumed a Korean meal daily, and 45% of all respondents reported eating kimchi 3 or 4 times a week. As a result, it can be said that foreigners residing in Korea preferred to eat kimchi as a side dish. Based on the respondents answers, we were able to determine the relative popularity of the different types of kimchi. They were, from most popular to least popular, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Chonggak Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi. Among those fermented for 1 day, Cucumber Kimchi was most preferred for its. When evaluating the overall preference of Kimchi, the best was in the order of Chinese cabbage (red)>Kkakdugi>Cucumber>Chinese cabbage (white)>Chonggak>Green onion>Mustard Kimchi. For 1 day in a fermented period, Cucumber Kimchi had the most preferred taste (5.76), appearance (5.66), odor (5.89), and texture (5.70). However, Cucumber Kimchi was least popular after 15 days of fermentation (p<0.01). The most preferred Kimchi after 15 days of fermentation was Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Among the kimchi fermented for 7 days, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi was most preferred. While foreigners indicated that they were satisfied with all the types of kimchi fermented for 1 day and 15 days, they were not satisfied with any of the kimchi fermented for 7 days, save for the White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Kkakdugi Kimchi had very high satisfaction scores for appearance, but low scores in taste. On the other hand, Chinese Cabbage Kimchi had low scores in odor (5.02-5.29), but high in texture (5.37-5.62) and taste (4.80-5.30), which are not factors sensitive to a change in acidity. These results showed that foreigners were generally satisfied with Kimchi, but became less satisfied as the Kimchi ripened. Most foreigners were not satisfied with the types of Kimchi that had a strong flavor. Chinese Cabbage Kimchi became the least sour after fermentation, and Cucumber Kimchi became most sour after fermentation.

To observe the food quality of Baik-kimchi which is known as a watery Chinese cabbage pickles without fish sauce and red pepper paste, the changes of dietary fibers and pectic substances during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ were studied. Baik-kimchi fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ showed a greater changes in pH and acidity than those of 5$^{\circ}C$ during storage. Ripened Baik-kimchi products fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$ could be prepared on 9~12 days of fermentation, and those had a pH range from 4.25 to 4.40 and acidity of 0.34~0.53. But in the case of $25^{\circ}C$ fermentation, Baik-kimchi ripened for 3 days showed a pH of 4.02 and acidity of 0.54. The pH and acidity of the Baik-kimchi juice changed more rapidly than those of the Baik-kimchi solid regardless of fermentation temperatures. The content of soluble dietary fiber(SDF) was ranged from 3.06 to 4.87% at 5$^{\circ}C$ and a wide variation in SDF was observed in the sample fermented at $25^{\circ}C$(4.15~11.22%). Insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) were increased from 21.66% to 28.42% in solid of Baik-kimchi during fermentation at 5$^{\circ}C$ and ranged from 21.37% to 24.65% for sample fermented at $25^{\circ}C$. A notable amount of pectin had been dissolved in juice of Baik-kimchi till the best ripening time and showed the level of 223.2mg/100ml at 5$^{\circ}C$ on the day of 9 and 207.3mg/100ml at $25^{\circ}C$ on the day of 2. In contrast, the contents of pectin in solid Baik-kimchi decreased, whereas contents of sodium hexametaphosphate soluble pectin(HXSP) and HCl soluble pectin(HClSP) increased with fermentation period.

The effects of green tea powder (GTP) on kimchi quality were evaluated by investigating acid production, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and several volatile odor components of GTP-added kimchi. The concentrations of GTE added to kimchi were 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 1.2% (w/w) of salted Chinese cabbage. The pH of kimchi with higher amounts of added GTP increased with ripening. The acidity of unripened kimchi or kimchi ripened for one day generally increased with the addition of GTP, while that of kimchi ripened for two or three days generally decreased with the addition of GTP. Addition of GTP had no significant effect on the lactic acid bacterial count of kimchi. Scores of overall acceptability, taste and odor of 0.2 or 0.4% GTP-added kimchi were higher than those of other samples, whereas scores of color decreased with increasing amount of GTP added to kimchi. Texture of kimchi added with higher amounts of GTP and ripened for two or three days resulted in lower score than the reference sample. Diallyl sulfide and methyl trisulfide were newly produced with the ripening of kimchi, and the amounts of some volatile odor components in kimchi were changed during ripening.

To elicit the effect of fermentation on food quality of the watery Chinese cabbage pickles without fish sauce and red pepper paste(Baik-kimchi), changes in physicochemical properties and microstructure of fiber components were studied. Better water holding capacity(WHC) was showed in Baik-kimchi fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ than that of Baik-kimchi fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$. WHC measured at pH 2 and 6 were ranged from 10.18 to 16.79g/g dried sample for Baik-kimchi fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ and 6.51~14.58g/g dried sample for sample for samples at 5$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The higher WHC was resulted in pH controlled freeze-dried sample to pH 6 than that measured in pH 2 sample. The settling volume(SV) and oil adsorption capacity(OAC) increased with fermentation period and kept the same value for a little while, but slightly decreased in the over ripening period. Baik-kimchi fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ exhibited more shrunk microstructure of parenchyma cell and xylem than those of Baik-kimchi fermented at 5$^{\circ}C$. The appearance of SDF of the both Baik-kimchi ripened at 5$^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$ could give granular shape, whereas the overripened Baik-kimchi had smooth surface of SDF. On the other hand, the IDF retained the original shape during fermentation.

Ingredient ratio for making nabak kimchi and the manufacturing method were standardized from the available literatures. Fermentation properties and $CO_2$ production of the nabak kimchi were investigated during the fermentation at $5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Standardized ingredients ratio of nabak kimchi that added 100 mL of water was as follows: 45.0 g baechu cabbage, 26.9 g radish, 1.9 g green onion, 1.0 g red pepper, 1.2 g crushed garlic, 0.9 g crushed ginger, 0.7 g red pepper powder. The standardized manufacturing method of nabak kimchi was as follows: washing ingredients, cutting radish and baechu cabbage $(2.5\times2.5\times0.5\;cm)$, salting for 20 min, washing and draining, pretreatment of ingredients, dissolving red pepper powder in water, blending, mixing, and adding the water to the mixed ingredients. Fermentations at $5^{\circ}C$ for 8 days, at $10^{\circ}C$ for 3 days, and at $20^{\circ}C$ for 1 day led to the acidity levels of $0.21\%,\;0.20\%,\;and\;0.31\%$, respectively. From the relationships between optimally ripened pH and acidity, nabak kimchi showed lower acidity of $0.20\~0.25\%$ with pH $4.2\~4.5.$ Like other kinds of kimchi, the Levels of Leuconostoc sp. were high specially at later stage of fermentation at low temperature $(5^{\circ}C)$. However, the levels of Lactobacillus sp. were low at $5^{\circ}C$. Nabak kimchi produced high levels of $CO_2$ in the initial fermentation period and followed by rapid decrease of $CO_2$ production with the fermentation. From the relationships between pH and $CO_2$ content, the highest $CO_2$ contents were found pH $4.0\~4.4$, 3.8 and 3.4 at $5^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C$, and $20^{\circ}C$, respectively. This fact indicated that fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ has the highest $CO_2$ content at optimally ripened pH of 4.3 and the fermentation at lower temperature such as $5^{\circ}C$ could extend the eatable time of nabak kimchi.

Acid production and growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, volatile odor components, and effects of freeze-drying on quality of kimchi prepared with whole, midlib, and leaves of Chinese cabbages ripened at $20^{\circ}C$ for 3 days were investigated. Salinities of whole, midlib, and leaf were 2.31, 2.03, and 2.68%, respectively, In kimchi pH of midlib was the lowest and that of leaf was the highest, while acidities of whole and midlib were higher than that of leaf. Numbers of lactic acid bacteria in whole and midlib were slightly higher than that of leaf. Overall acceptability, taste, and odor of kimchi and freeze-dlied/rehydrated kimchi prepared with whole or midlib were better than those of leaf. Volatile odor components such as ethanol and sulfur-containing components of kimchi prepared with whole or midlib were generally higher than those of kimchi prepared with leaf.
