Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip pickle prepared with different pickling spices were investigated. Turnip root slices(4${\times}$1${\times}$0.5 cm) were salted with NaCl and CaCl$_2$, and then soaked into pickling solution added to commercial (pickle P) or manufactured (pickle M) pickling spice, and then stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, the acidity, pH, saltiness and reducing sugar content of two pickles were 3.1∼3.5%, 1.4∼1.7, 0.2∼0.6% and 25.2∼30.4 mg/mL, respectively. There were no significant differences between two pickles in saltiness, anthocyanin, reducing sugar content, color(Hunter L, a and b value) and hardness. However, acidity of pickle M was higher than that of pickle P throughout the storage time. Sensory results showed that the best edible time was the 14th day of storage, and at that time, scores of pickle M was higher in 리avor(7.3 and 6.9), taste(7.8 and 5.4) and over-all preference(8.0 and 6.1) than those of pickle P, and pickle M maintained good sensory qualities until 28th day of storage, compared to pickle P(p<0.05).

Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of turnip pickles added with chitosan and/or beet water extract were investigated. Turnip root slices (4${\times}$1${\times}$0.5 cm) were salted with NaCl and CaCl$_2$, soaked into pickling solution, and then stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole storage periods, pH, acidity, saltiness and soluble solid content of three pickles (C, turnip pickle; CC, turnip pickle+chitosan; CBC, turnip pickle+chitosan+beet water extract) ranged to 3.1 ∼ 3.5, 1.5 ∼ 1.7%, 0.5 ∼ 0.7% and 24.5 ∼ 28.5$^{\circ}$Brix, respectively. There were no significant differences between three pickles in saltiness, anthocyanin and reducing sugar content. However, acidity and hardness of CC and CBC were higher than those of control C throughout the storage time. While Hunter's a value of CBC was higher than those of CC or C. Sensory results showed that the best edible time was the 14th day of storage, and at that time, scores of CC and CBC were higher in over-all preference (7.8 and 8.4) than those of C (6.1), and CC and CBC maintained good sensory qualities until 28th day of storage, compared to C (p<0.05).
