The present study was designed to study the antioxidant activity and physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of Pork Kalbi sauce added with Smilax china L. extract(0%, 0.25%, 0.5% and 0.75%) for 5 weeks. Total microbial counts were slightly higher in control and 0.25%-added group, therefore, more addition of Smilax china L. extract lowered total microbial counts. Alpha-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity was significantly higher in 0.75%-added group compared to those in others(p<0.05). Also, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) was significantly lower in 0.5% and 0.75%-added groups compared to others(p<0.05). These results indicated that Smilax china L. extract addition increased the antioxidant activity of Pork Kalbi sauce and could improve the shelf-life during storage.
