Kimchi has been worldwide recognized as a traditional Korean fermented food, In the Chinese cabbage's pickling, salt content of evenly penetrate into the tissue affects on the texture of matured kimchi, But the previous method which usually using brine salting has a disadvantage of uneven penetration of salt into the leaves and stems. The purpose of the study is to develope the method which produce superior kimchi by evenly penetrate the salt into the tissue rapidly, The dry salting method is directly spread the salt on the surface of chinese cabbage as percentage in weight with 10, 12, 14, 16%(s) and pickled in this state for 5 hours. Brine salting method is soaking chinese cabbage in the 16% salt solution(16%B) for 20 hours. Sensory evaluation, contents of salt, properties of mechanical hardness and micro structure were studied among fresh cabbage, 16%B and 10, 12, 14, 16%(s) cabbage, The result of salt contents in all groups of pickled chinese cabbage were significantly increased compared with fresh cabbage. The compressive force of cabbage's steams by mechanical measurement was significantly decreased but cutting force was increased. In pickled cabbage, the cutting force was the highest correlated with salt content, In the sensory evaluation, the salty taste of leaves and chewy degree were significantly increased, but the hardness and crips of the stems were significantly decreased by increasing salt contents. Therefore the dry salting is the most excellent pickling method in small amount of kimchi production by saving salt amount and time, furthermore due to even penetration of salt into leaves and stems.

Salt penetration, moisture effluence and elution of calcium of radish were investigated during salting in $3{\sim}10%$ salt solution. The desirable salt concentration of kimchis were also evaluated by sensory method. Among 20 samples collected from domestic and commercially prepared kimchis, 8 samples were found to be desirable salt concentration having the concentration range of $1.2{\sim}2.2%$. Moisture and calcium diffused from radish tissue were increased as the salt concentration increased. The proper salting time were estimated to be two hours at 3%, one hour at 5% and 30 minutes at 10% of salt at $20^{\circ}C$. Salting at high concentration shortened the salting time but brought a significant calcium loss.

Wild edible plants are consumed as raw or processed. Analytical data for raw biologically functional compounds were relatively well established. The changes on functional compounds during processing are, however, not well studied. This study was carried out to investigate the change of the quality of wild edible plants, Chamchwi, blanched at various conditions. Samples were blanched at the salt concentration of 0%, 1% or 2% for 1, 3, and 5 minutes each. The biologically active compounds, vitamin C, ${\beta}-carotene$, chlorophyll, flavonoids, polyphenols and minerals were analyzed. The concentration of vitamin C in Chamchwi did not show any significant change under various blanching conditions. Beta-carotene in Chamchwi was not significantly affected by blanching time. Higher salt concentration of blanching water, however, resulted in the increased concentration of ${\beta}-carotene$ in the blanched Chamchwi. Higher salt concentration of blanching water also reduced the loss of total flavonoids and total polyphenols from the blanched Chamchwi. The change of colors in the blanching water seemed to be corresponding to those of total flavonoids and total polyphenols concentrations in the blanching water.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of salt concentrations (1,2 and 37)) and storage periods on the characteristics of Kakdugi (Korea seasoned pickles of cubed radish roots) stored at $20^{\circ}C$. The sensory characteristics, pH, titratable acidity, non-volatile organic acids were measured. The results of sensory evaluation on Kakdugi containing 1,2 or 30% sodium chloride stored for 4 or 8 days indicated that there were significant differences among them expecially ill firmness, crispness and salty taste. As storage period increased, titratable acidity, sour taste, non-volatile organic acid contents of the samples increased. The changes were greater in Kakdugi with 2% sodium chloride. Major non-volatile organic acids were identified as lactic acid, citric acid and succinic acid. The sour taste of Kakdugi was closely related to the contents of non-volatile organic acid and titratable acidity.

Fermentation temperature and salt concentration of Dongchimi were studied for the development of low salt Dongchimi juice. The juice was prepared by soaking the radish in brine solution of 0.3∼3.0% and fermented at the temperature range of 10∼30$^{\circ}C$. The fermentation proceeded faster at higher temperature. However, the salt concentration effect was dependent on the temperature. Fermentation in 3.0% NaCl solution resulted the fastest reach to pH 3.8 followed by 0.5% NaCl at 10 and 20$^{\circ}C$, while higher NaCl concentration caused a decrease in the fermentation rate at 30$^{\circ}C$. Comparison of flavor of the juice of pH 3.9 showed that fresh sourness was high in the juice prepared at 20$^{\circ}C$ and in 0.5% NaCl. The preference test also showed the juice of pH 3.8∼4.0 fermented in 0.5% NaCl at 20$^{\circ}C$ to be the most preferable one. The salt concentration lower than 0.5% at 20$^{\circ}C$ resulted in faster fermentation and high values in turbidity. However 0.5% NaCl was scored high in flavor acceptability.

This study was carried out to compare the fermentation rates of Dongchimi as affected by fermentation temperature and salt concentration of brining solution. The Dongchimi was prepared by fermentation of the radish in salt solutions of 2.0, 3.2 and 5.1% NaCl respectively with addition of garlic, green onion, ginger at $4^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C$. The fermentation was classified into 3 steps of initial, intermediate and final stages according to pH changes and the rates of fermentation and color change were calculated from intermediate stage. The time reached equilibrium in hardness of radish and salt concentration and their equilibrated values were also compared. Fermentation rate became more rapid as fermentation temperature and salt concentration increased. The rates of Hunter color change of Dongchimi liquid were increased as the temperature increased. The 'L' values decreased slowly, and 'a' and 'b' values increased rapidly to maximum at the intermediate stage. The time required to reach equilibrium was reduced for both salt concentration and hardness of radish as the fermentation temperature increased. The equilibrated values of salt concentration were increased while those of hardness of radish were decreased as the temperature and salt concentration increased. The data obtained can be used for prediction of some of the major characteristics of Dongchimi during fermentation.

The effect of ripening temperature, pH and salinity on the formation of Nnitrosamine (NA) during Kimchi fermentation and in vitro was studied, respectively. During Kimchi fermentation for six weeks at cold storage temperature ($4^{\circ}C$) and room temperature ($16{\pm}2^{\circ}C$), the contents of nitrite and dimethylamine (DMA) showed variation at room temperature but no variation at cold storage temperature. The maximum generation of nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) resulted low content ($2.69\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) at cold storage temperature but started to increase after one week fermentation and reached to the 18-fold higher generation ($49.6\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$) at room temperature. During Kimchi fermentation, no correlation was observed between the variation of nitrite and DMA content and the generation of NDMA. However, pH showed effective relation to NDMA generation such as the highest NDMA generation was obtained at lowest pH 4. During in vitro test, higher temperature and lower pH resulted more NDMA generation and generation amount was affected more by pH. Also, the salinity of Kimchi provided inhibitory effects on the formation of NDMA. NDMA was produced $5.86\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ at normal salinity (2.5%) but $90.9\;\mu\textrm{g}/kg$ at lower salinity (15%) after three week. The higher salinity showed lower formation of NDMA in vitro test, too.

For the development of a model to predict absorbed salt quantity in radish during salting, absorbed salt quantity and water content change in radish by the hour were measured at 5%, 10%, 15% brine concentration and $10^{\circ}C,\;20^{\circ}C,\;30^{\circ}C$ respectively. Absorbed salt quantity in radish by the time showed logarithmic function, absorbed salt quantity by brine concentration and temperature showed linear relation. A model to predict absorbed salt quantity in radish at each time, brine concentration and temperature was calculated by the regression program of SPSS. Apparent diffusivity of salt in radish was calculated from appropriated diffusion equation solution of Fick's second law using computer simulation. Salt diffusivity in radish increased as brine concentration increased and the effect of temperature could by expressed by Arrhenius equation. A model equation which could predict salt diffusivity was developed by regression analysis. To specify relation between salt quantity which absorbed into radish and water content which removed out of it, Flux ratio(${\Delta}W/{\Delta}S$) was calcuated. The values showed that the removed water content was greater than the absorbed salt quantity.
