Abstract
The purpose of this research is to investigate Chinese's preference and directions for improvement of Kimchi by sensory evaluation, and utilize Kimchi for the China eating habit by survey. Self administered questionnaires were collected 149 Chinese (16~25 yr) residing in Shanghai. About 89.9% of all the participants had eaten Kimchi before the survey. Overall preference about Kimchi was 3.59$\pm$0.62 (5 point: Lickertis scale) and affecting factors for overall preference were taste, appearance, texture, in that order. Chinese answered that tough texture (24.9%), spicy taste (20.5%) and fermented odor (18.1%) were the most important factors in improved quality of Kimchi. They answered that applications of Kimchi with Chinese cuisine are 'side dish with meat cuisine', 'eat with cooked rice, rice-mixed-in-soup, gruel' and 'use ingredients of cook', as similar to Korean's.
