To determine the change of residual chlorpyrifos during Kimchi fermentation, the Kimchi was prepared and fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks according to the conventional method. As a model experiment, chinese cabbages which were soaked in the chlorpyrifos solution were used for Kimchi preparation. It was found that the concentration of residual chlorpyrifos which was 0.161 ppm in raw cabbages decreased to 0.0938 ppm by 4 times of washing and further decreased to 0.0099ppm during fermentation of Kimchi for 4 weeks. In the model system, the residual chlorpyrifos decreased by the first order reaction as the fermentation of Kimchi proceeded . It's half life is approximately 1.8 weeks.

Antioxidant effect of traditional doenjang(TD) was reduced by increasing of maturation period. Methanol fractionate of TD matured for 1 year showed strong antioxidant effect against linoleic acid, following the order of hexane and water layer. Antioxidant effect in lipophilic and hydrophilic extracts of TD were gradually increased according to increasing maturation period, whereas their values or two extracts were lower than those or fractionates from TD. Hydrogen-scavenging effect in hydrophobic extract, methanol and butanol fractionates of TD were much higher than those of the other samples. Chloroform and ethylacetate fractionates were markedly lower in the range of $10.57{\sim}22.84\%\;and\;7.82{\sim}22.58\%$, respectively. Anticarcinogenic effect of extracts and fractionates from TD were higher in water fractionates for A549 cell (human lung carcinoma) and methanol fractionates fur MCF-7 cell (human breast adenocarcinoma). Especially, inhibitory effect for growth of cancer cell was increased by the increasing maturation period of TD.

Taste components of traditional kochujang prepared with various raw materials, were investigated during 90 days of fermentation. The major free sugars, maltose and glucose, were higher in malt added kochujang than others. The major organic acids of kochujang were succinic and citric acids, followed by formic acid. The contents of succinic acid in the kochujang decreased during fermentation, whereas that of citric acid increased. Purple sweet potato kochujang was highest in total free amino acids. The major free amino acids were glutamic acid, serine and aspartic acid. They remarkably increased during fermentation. Among the nucleotides and their related components in kochujang, cytidine-5-monophosphate was the most abundant component at the beginning of aging period, while hypoxanthine increased remarkably during fermentation. Kochujang prepared with purple sweet potato Chinese matrimony vine contained higher amounts of organic acids and nucleotides than the others.

Dongchimi as a Korean traditional fermented food was studied for the possibility of developing into as an ion beverage. Reverse osmosis process was applied to the concentration of dongchimi juice in this study. Dongchimi was prepared at different concentrations of salt and fermentation temperatures. Mineral components of concentrated dongchimi juice were analyzed and compared with those of ion beverage products. The changes of sugar contents and mineral contents were studied depending on different fermentation temperatures, periods and salt concentration. The amounts of mineral components such as $K^{+},\;Mg^{2+}\;and\;Ca^{2+}$ were increased during fermentation but slightly decreased in the last period. It was found that the concentrated dongchimi juice could be used as an improved ion beverage in future, since the electrolytic dissociation components were much more in the concentrated dongchimi juice than those in the existing ion beverages.

Andong Sickhae is a traditional Korean fermented rice product which is made from glutionous rice, male, radish, ginger and red pepper. The changes in chemical composition, pH, amino nitrogen, amino acid, enzyme activity and free sugar of a traditional Andong Sickhae were monitored during the fermentation and storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The changes in ash, crude fat and moisture the contents during Andong Sickhae fermentation and storage were negligible. The pH of the product tended to decrease in the course of fermentation and storage and it showed the minimum value of 3.90 after 20th day of storage. On the other hand the maltose continued to increase up from 6.35g to 9.85g/100ml by 15th day of storage. The content of amino nitrogen in Andong Sickhae gradualy increase up to 22.40mg% by 3th day of fermentation. Glutamic aicd and aspartic acid were the major amino acid in water and salt soluble protein in Andong Sickhae.

For the purpose of fermentation control and edible period extension of lower salted Kimchi, the contents and compositions of pectic substances in Kimchi, by adding 2 percent salt and 0.4 percent sodium malate buffer(SMB), fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Edible period of SMB added chinese cabbage Kimchi was extended 40 hrs compared to that of control (added 2.5% salt) with good flavor, texture and freshness. The contents of alcohol insoluble solid(AIS) and protopectin(PP) of control were more decrensed during fermentation than those of SMB added Kimchi. But, the contents of pectic adid(PA) and water soluble pectin(WSP) of control were more increased during fermentation than those of SMB added Kimchi. Hexose and pentose from hemicellulose in control, PP and PA respectively, were more decreased during fermentation than those in SMB added Kimchi. Lower polarity and higher molecular weight PP was eluted and higher polarity and lower molecular weight PP was decreased considerably in control compared to those in SMB added Kimchi during fermentation.

To facilitate fermentation of liquid anchovy sauce, 3% unripe figs, ripe figs, or fig leaves were added to the sauce and fermented at $25^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The anchovy sauce prepared with ripe figs showed higher protease activity and better red-pupple color than others. Amino-nitrogen content in anchovy sauce treated with ripe figs was attained to 600 mg% within 10 days. Total free amino acid content in the product with fig addition showed about twice higher, 4543.21 mg%, than the control, 2255.29 mg%. Hypoxanthin was found as a major components of nucleotide and their related compounds in the fermented anchovy sauce. However, using the unripe figs and fig leaves impart greenish color and grass taste to the product.

This study was conducted to investigate the presevative effect of chitosan on soybean leaf kimchi. Three different kinds of chitosan, molecular weihts(M.W) of 2,000, 30,000 and 300,000, were used. Kimchi, prepared by adding chitosan in 0.5% solution or control, was examined for evaluation of pH, acidity, vitamin C and number of Lactic acid bacteria during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. As a result, the pH decreased and acidity increased with increasing fermentation periods. Kimchi with chitosan of M.W 30,000 showed Bower pH, higher acidity, more consitutional vitamin C content, and lower number of tactic acid bacteria than any other treatment. This results suggest that chitosan of M.W 30,000 could be more effective material in presenation of soybean leaf kimchi.

Polyethylene films contained 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of raw-ore powder(PERO) were prepared. The characteristics feature of the film and the powder were investigated in order to use packaging material for kimchi quality. Kimchi was packaged in the PERO bass md stored at 10$^{\circ}C$. The kimchi was examined for a pH, acidity, number of total microbe and lactic acid bacteria, E. coli, color values and sensory evaluation. The ore powder at 20$^{\circ}C$ produced infrared rays at 800-1100nm. The growth of E. coli md Staphylococcus aureus was extremely inhibited in the EMB and nutrient broth containing 10% of raw-ore powder but, that of lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteriodes was slightly promoted in MRS broth containing 1%. The ripening by pH and acidity was slightly accelerated in kimchi in PERO bag(PERO-kimchi) compared to control kimchi but the maintenance of ripened-kimchi taste was prolonged in PERO-kimchi. The number of lactic acid bacteria of PERO-kimchi was more numerous than that of contol sample but that of E. coli wag exremely legs. The color L* values of PERO-kimchi was lower than control but a* and b* values were higher. Sensory evaluation of PERO-kimchi was higher score than control sample in crispness and overall taste about 10 to 20% of raw-ore contents for kimchi-packaging material was desirable.
