Abstract
This study surveyed the Kimchi preference for French, potential Kimchi improvement for French market adaptation and Kimchi application for French cuisine, with the aim of spreading the recognition of Kimchi throughout the world, especially in France, by giving information and developing local types which could be expected to be suitable for utilization of French food life. The Kimchi experience of 100 persons in France was surveyed for the study. Most (72.0%) had no experience. For the preference of red Kimchi in palatable ripening period depending on sexes, women had a higher Score (M=4.04${\pm}$0.88) than men (M=3.91${\pm}$0.91) did. In the case of white Kimchi, women had a higher score (M=4.09${\pm}$0.90) than men (M=3.98${\pm}$1.01) did, also. The attraction reason of Kimchi for males was the chewing feel, healthy food and spicy taste, and for females was the chewing feel, spicy taste and healthy food orderly. However, the other side of the Kimchi improvement point was decreased fermented order, spicy taste and salinity, but improved orderly appearance. Thus, the Kimchi development point for French was keeping the crisp chewing feel, fermenting better at the fresh than ripening, reducing the fermented order and controlling the spice taste. Types of fermented food similar to Kimchi were involved in more than 80% of French cuisine, with the most common in the survey being pickled cabbage, followed by cabbage salary and fermented salted food orderly. The Kimchi utility as a raw ingredient or a seasoning for French cuisine was firstly as an accompaniment with meat cuisine, followed by appetizer, eating with cooked rice, eating with fish cuisine, orderly for males, whereas for females it was eating with cooked rice, followed by appetizer, eating with fish cuisine and eating with fried potato and orderly. Thus, the French had a similar view to Koreans regarding the accompaniment of Kimchi meat. The developed fusion Kimchi foods were 'Poitrine de porc caramelisee au miel et Kimchi', 'Blanc de barbue aux crevettes roses et Kimchii', 'Kimchi SpringRoll' and 'Potage saint-Germain aux Kimchi'. The French preference for Kimchi utility was generally a high score for the eating the cuisine in which Kimchi was added to meat cuisine.
