The effects of packaging materials, Ny/PE, PET/PE/Al, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, and PET/Al/Ny/CPP, and packaging methods, atmospheric and vacuum packaging on physicochemical properties of onion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi were investigated. The maximun swelling days of packaging materials were increased more in rosemary-onion Kimchi than in onion kimchi, and they were in the order of PET/Al/Ny/CPP, PET/PE/Al, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, and Ny/PE. The pH and reducing sugar contents of onion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi were decreased during storage. and those of lion Kimchi and rosemary-onion Kimchi packaged in PET/Al/Ny/CPP were higher than those in different packaging materials. Titratible acidity and vitamin C content of rosemary-onion Kimchi were lower than those of onion Kimchi, but there were no differences in the L and b values between two groups.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of packaging materials (Ny/PE, PET/Al/PE, PET/PE/LDPE/CPP, PET/Al/Ny/CPP films, and bottle) and packaging methods (atmosphere and vacuum) on the physicochemical properties of Onion Kimchi and Rosemary-onion Kimchi stored at $5^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar contents and pHs of Onion Kimchi and Rosemary-onion Kimchi decreased, whereas levels of titratible acidity and vit C contents increased with increasing the storage time. The fermentation of Rosemary-onion Kimchi was slower than that of Onion Kimchi. PET/PE/LDPE/CPP film was the most effective for Onion Kimchi packaging among all packaging materials tested.

In this study, physical properties and color were measured and sensory evaluation was conducted on the onion kimchi with herb. Onion was produced during the winter season at Muan area. It means that water content of the onion was least of all the seasons. Onion kimchi was made with various herbs and various amounts of herb was added to the onion kimchi for the selected herb. Sensory evaluation indicated that Rosemary was best of all the tested herbs. Adequate amounts of Rosemary was 1 and 2%, while 5% was not evaluated as good.

In this study, various kind of onion herb kimchi differing in herb contents were prepared. Sensory evaluation indicated that rosemary was best of all for the tested herbs. By the sensory analysis, it seemed that 0.5% addition of fresh herb powder for onion kimchi was most preferable and 2% addition was not acceptable. Hot spice of onion was remained when kimchi was prepared but it disappeared as storage time elapsed. According to texture analysis, hardness decreased as storage time elapsed for onion kimchi without herb, but the degree was mitigated for onion herb kimchi.

This study was conducted to evaluate the functional properties of onion, rosemary and thyme extracts which are the ingredients of onion Kimchi. Onion extract showed a significant difference in antioxidative effect based on peroxide value and thiocyanate method. Antioxidative activity of rosemary extract was similar to those of BHA and BHT. but thyme extract did not show any antioxidative effect.. Onion, rosemary, and thyme extracts showed antimicrobial activities against gram positive bacteria but onion and thyme extracts did not against E. coli, Candida, and molds. Rosemary extract demonstrated a strong activity against L. plantarum which is a major lactobacillus in Kimchi fermentation, and Micrococcus luteus. Onion, rosemary, and thyme extracts showed an effect or hangover relief effect by lowering the alcohol concentration of blood in rat. Blood pressure of the male spontaneous hypertensive rat was suppressed by onion extract after 3 days of feeding, but rosemary and thyme extracts were not effective for lowering blood pressure.

Effects of antimicrobial herbs on growth of tactic acid bacteria were investigated to extend shelf-life of Dongchimi, kimchi made with radishes and spices. Marta rosemary, among eight foreign and domestic herbs, showed strongest antimicrobial activity against seven kinds of lactic acid bacteria. Spices such as spring onion, garlic, and ginger showed no antimicrobial activity against lactic acid bacteria. During fermentation of Dongchimi for 6 days at $35^{\circ}C$, addition of marta rosemary inhibited acid formation, maintaining optimal pH of 3.8-4.2 throughout fermentation period, while no inhibitory effect was observed from Sambaekho (Saurus chinensis), pepper mint, and stevia. Results show shelf-life of Dongchimi was extended by addition of marta rosemary, which controlled over-production of tactic acid by inhibiting bacterial growth.

Antimicrobial activities of the extracts from spices microorganisms related to kimchi fermentation were investigated. 32 kinds of spices such as allspice, mount, basil, bay leaves, caraway, cardamon, celery, chilli powder, chives, cinnamon, clover, coriander, cumin, dill, fennel, garlic, horseradish, marjorarm, mugwort, mustard, nutmeg, onion, oregano, paprika, parsely, pepper, peppermint, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme and tumeric were extracted with water, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate and ethanol. Fractions were tested for antimicrobial activities against Lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteroides, The extracts of 28 kinds of spices except caraway, cardamon, paprika and tarragon by water extraction, those of 29 kinds except arrowroot, paprika and tarragon by ethyl ether extraction, those of 30 kinds except paprika and tarragon by ethyl acetate extraction, and those of 29 kinds except clover, paprika and tarragon by ethanol extraction showed strong antimicrobial activities against Lactobacillus plantarum. On the other hand, the extracts of 28 kinds of spices except caraway, cardamon, paprika and thyme by water extraction, those of 27 kinds except cardamon, cumin, paprika, tarragon and thyme by ethyl ether extraction, thou of 30 kinds except paprika and thyme by ethyl acetate extraction, and those of 28 kinds except cardamon, cumin, paprika and thyme by ethanol extraction showed strong antimicrobial activities against Leuconostoc mesenteroides.
