This research was performed to investigate the potential use of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) as an ingredient to improve the biological function and flavor of kimchi. The quality characteristics were studied for kimchi with or without Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus (CBM kimchi) during fermentation for 25 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH changes of CBM kimchi were slower than those of control but did not show any significant difference after addition of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus during fermentation. The titratable acidity of CBM kimchi was higher than that of control. The log number of total bacteria was lower about 1.5 $log_{10}$ cycle in CBM kimchi than in control during fermentation. However, lactic acid bacteria did not show significant difference between CMB kimchi and control. Sensory qualities of kimchi such as color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability were significantly improved by addition of 3% Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus(p<0.05).

This study was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of low-salt kimchi with salt partially replaced by Salicornia herbacea L. powder (SH). We prepared kimchi with seasonings in which salt was replaced by 0% (S00), 10% (S10), 20% (S20) and 30% (S30) SH. The salinity level of kimchi was about 1%, and there was no significant difference between the experimental groups. Although lactic acid bacterial numbers of kimchi replaced with SH (S10~S30) increased significantly compared to those of control (S00), the pH and titratable acidity of kimchi replaced with SH were not significantly different. Hardness of kimchi tended to increase as fermentation progressed and with SH addition. The results of the sensory evaluation corroborated the physicochemical characteristics. Furthermore, the sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different upon addition of SH. The physicochemical and sensory characteristics of kimchi were not significantly different despite replacement of salt in kimchi seasoning by SH up to 10%.

This study was carried out for the establishment of optic harvest date and storage condition of 'Fuji' apple for CA storage. Apples were picked at 10 day intervals from 17 Sept to 27 Oct.. Apples were analyzed for respiration rata, weight flesh firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solid, total sugar, reducing sugar, surface color and thiault value. In 1990, the optimal harvest season could be judged between 17 Oct. and 27 Oct. from the results of respiration rate rise and change of quality properties. Apples harvested on 27 Oct. wert stored at 2$^{\circ}C$ and 90~95% RH in 1%O2 + 3%CO2, 3%O2 + 3%CO2 and air for 9 months. After 9 months of storage, apples kept in CA storages had beater quality than apples kept in refrigeration storage. Especially, apples kept in 1%O2, + 3%CO2 were fumer and more acid than those kept in 3%O2 + 3%CO2 At the sensory evaluations, apples stored in CA were rated higher quality than apples stared refrigeration.

To assess the quality characteristics of home-made Doenjang prepared by traditional methods, general components, organic acids, amino acids and fatty acid composition of Doenjang were investigated. The contents of moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, salt and the titratable acidity(as milliliter of 0.1 N NaOH consumed) of Doenjang were 57.3%, 11.6%, 8.3%, 13.9%, and 11.8, respectively. There were wide variation in the contents of crude protein and salt among all samples. The average content of amino type nitrogen was 308.4mg%(w/w), however, it ranged from 202.3 to 416.3 mg% in which the contents some samples were 1.3∼2.1 folds greater than others. Hunter color values of L(lightness), a(redness) and b(yellowness) were 37.3, +19.6, and +17.5, respectively. Browning index value(expressed as optical density at 425 nm) of water-soluble compound(2.23) was more than 5.7 times higher than that of water-insoluble compound(0.39). The contents of free and total amino acids were 2908.9 and 9019.3 mg%, respectively, and the range of free amino acids(1.8∼6.2 times) were much wider than the range of total amino acids(1.2∼2.0 times). Glutamic acid was most abundant in free and total amino acids as 576 and 1,126 mg%, respectively. The main organic acid was lactic acid as 326.8 mg% ranging from 59.4 to 613.4 mg%. Linoleic acid(49.24%) showed the highest content in total fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acid comprised 81.97% of total fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acid ranged from 51.79 to 62.97%.

This papers were studies the effects of high $CO_2$ concentration pretreatment and ascorbic acid on the browning of fresh-cut apples. The prepared samples were dipped in 1% (w/v) ascorbic acid solution (AA). Fresh-cut apples (3 pieces) were packed in polypropylene bags (0.03 mm, $20{\times}15$ cm), and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 16 days. AA-treated samples showed higher L value than those of non-treated and control (dipped in water without $CO_2$ pretreatment), while non-treated samples showed higher hardness than AA-treated sample. Total soluble solids, pH, titratable acidity were not affected by high $CO_2$ pretreatment and AA treatment. These result shows high $CO_2$ concentration pretreatment with dipping in 1% ascorbic acid solution (AA) has an effects on controlling enzymatic browning during the storage of fresh-cut 'Fuji' apples.

The aim of this study was to manufacture functional high protein fermented beverage, using whey protein concentrate (WPC) and Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 isolated from kimchi, and to evaluate the physicochemical, functional, and sensory properties of the resulting product. The fermented whey beverage (FWB) was formulated with whey protein concentrate 80 (WPC 80), skim milk powder, and sucrose; and fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum DK211 as single, or mixed with Lactococcus lactis R704, a commercial starter culture. The pH, titratable acidity, and viable cell counts during fermentation and storage were evaluated. It was found that the mixed culture showed faster acid development than the single culture. The resulting FWB had high protein (9%) and low fat content (0.2%). Increased viscosity, and antioxidant and antimicrobial activity were observed after fermentation. A viable cell count of 10⁹ CFU/mL in FWB was achieved within 10 h fermentation, and it remained throughout storage at 15℃ for 28 d. Sensory analysis was also conducted, and compared to that of a commercial protein drink. The sensory scores of FWB were similar to those of the commercial protein drink in most attributes, except sourness. The sourness was highly related with the high lactic acid content produced during fermentation. The results showed that WPC and vegetable origin lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi might be used for the development of a high protein fermented beverage, with improved functionality and organoleptic properties.

Morphology, anatomy and diurnal acid fluctuations were investigated monthly for the succulent C4 dicot Portulaca grandiflora Hook. growing under natural environmental conditions. Modified Kranz-Type sturcture and typical CAM-like cells were shown in leaves and stems, respectively. Values of indices of mesophyll succulence inleaves stems were 5.62 and 16.68, respectively. The number of stomata were 1476$\textrm{cm}^{-2}$ in leaves while the stomata in stems were not observed through growing seasons from spring to summer. However, on Sep. 16, 1981 in defoliate autumn season, stomata were begun to be produced for the first time in stems and the number were increased gradually to 216$\textrm{cm}^{-2}$ on Oct. 29. This feature can be interpreted as a seasonal plant dimorphism. P. grandiflora exhibited a diurnal fluctuation of titratable acidity in leaves and stems. Seasonal amplitudes of acid fluctuation in stems were as follows: 27 $\mu$eq./g.f.wt. on Sep. 21; 57$\mu$eq/g.f.wt. on Oct. 3; 80$\mu$eq./g.f.wt. on Oct. 21. Such the results in seasonal amplitude were able to consider due to decrease of light period and cool night air temperature according to change of season. Also, the naturally defoliated stems which had already stomata exhibited usual diurnal acid fluctuation, on the other hand the treated stems which possessed artificially closed stomata showed a few of acid fluctuation. Especially, stomata in stems are developed by seasonal dimorphism and activated stomata participate in CAM behavior of stems.

The study was carried out to prevent the rancidity and to prolong the edible period by adding the pH adjuster composed of citric acid and sodium citrate during kimchi fermentation. Buffer action of the pH adjusters, changes in titratable acidty, pH, vitamin C content, chlorophyll content and number of microorganism were measured. And also sour flavor, color score and overall taste by sensory test were analyzed. The profer ratio of citric acid to sodium citrate for the kimchi was 1 to 9. Edible periods based upon the acidity, pH, sour flavor and overall taste were first to second days after soaking in the control, but were from the day of soaking to fifth days in the pH adjuster added kimchi to 0.3 percent. And favorable results were shown in kimchi with the pH adjuster in the point of brix degree, color and the number of Lactobacilli.

The objective of this study was to identify the coccoidal bacteria present in 188 samples of fermented yaks’, mares’ and cows’ milk products collected from 12 different regions in Mongolia. Furthermore, we evaluated the fermentation properties of ten selected isolates of the predominant species, Streptococcus (S.) thermophiles, during the process of milk fermentation and subsequent storage of the resulting yoghurt at 4℃. Overall, 159 isolates were obtained from 188 samples using M17 agar. These isolates were presumed to be lactic acid bacteria based on their gram-positive and catalase-negative properties, and were identified to species level using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. These coccoid isolates were distributed in four genera and six species: Enterococcus (E.) durans, Enterococcus (E.) faecalis, Lactococcus (Lac.) subsp. lactis, Leuconostoc (Leuc.) lactis, Leuconostoc (Leuc.) mesenteroides. subsp. mesenteroides and S. thermophilus. Among these S. thermophilus was the most common species in most samples. From evaluation of the fermentation characteristics (viable counts, pH, titratable acidity [TA]) of ten selected S. thermophilus isolates we could identify four isolates (IMAU 20246, IMAU20764, IMAU20729 and IMAU20738) that were fast acid producers. IMAU20246 produced the highest concentrations of lactic acid and formic acid. These isolates have potential as starter cultures for yoghurt production.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the quality characteristics of kimchi prepared with a single starter culture of biogenic amines (BA)-forming lactic acid bacteria (LAB) or a combined starter cultures composed of BA-forming and BA-degrading LAB. As the fermentation proceeded, the lactic acid bacterial count, titratable acidity, and BA content in kimchi prepared with myeolchi-aekjeot were slightly higher than those of kimchi prepared with saeu-jeot. The amount and type of BA produced by LAB were mostly strain dependent rather than species specific. Among all of the isolated LAB strains, the highest levels of cadaverine, histamine, putrescine and tyramine were produced by Leuconostoc mesenteroides MBK32, Lactobacillus brevis MBK34, Lactobacillus curvatus MBK31 and Enterococcus faecalis SBK31, respectively. BA-forming and BA-degrading starter cultures played an important role in the growth rate and organic acid-producing ability of LAB in kimchi. Interestingly, BA contents in kimchi increased by adding single BA-forming LAB starter were effectively lowered by the mixed cultures with BA-degrading LAB.
