Abstract
This study was carried out to develop a standard methods of mechanized salt-inserting salting process for winter cabbage to produce kimchi. Mid or large scaled mechanized kimchi plants were surveyed to select dominant variables of the mechanized salting process. Salt concentration of salting water, salting time and dewatering time were selected as the dominant variables of the salting process. A series of laboratorial experiment was performed with winter cabbage to determine desirable conditions for the variables. A supplementary experiment with cabbages of the other seasons was executed also to compare the determined conditions each other. Finally the determined conditions of the salting process were tested by plant scale experiments with winter cabbage and proved their validity.
