This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various kinds of commercial salts, including Hanju salt, Deep sea water salt, $Salicornia$ $herbacea$ salt, Guwoon salt, Bamboo salt and salt replacement for the reduction of Na concentration in $kimchi$. The fermentative characteristics of these salts were determined during the fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$. $kimchi$ using a salt replacement and with $Salicornia$ $herbacea$ salt showed slow changes in their pH values. The use of salt replacement showed the lowest level(0.97%) of the retardation of $kimchi$ fermentation. For the preparation of $kimchi$ that used a low Na, chemical and microbial changes were investigated during the fermentation of process, examining preparations with both table salt and a salt replacement(CS-17). The salinity level of $kimchi$ prepared with table salt(control) and the salt replacement (CS-17) were 2.17~2.5% and 1.72~1.99% during fermentation, respectively. The Na contents of $kimchi$ with CS-17(562.5 mg%) showed a lower level than that with table salt(879.0 mg%). The growth of Leuconostoc sp. was highest ($1.5{\times}10^8$ cfu/g) in $kimchi$ with CS-17 at 6 day-fermentation, but the highest level($2.3{\times}10^7$ cfu/g) in $kimchi$ with table salt was at 7dayfermentation. The cells of $Lactobacillus$ sp. in the $kimchi$ prepared with CS-17 and table salt increased to $3.0{\times}10^8$ cfu/g and $6.0{\times}10^7$ cfu/g at 8day-fermentation, respectively. It was concluded that the use of CS-17 could reduce Na levels in $kimchi$ and mitigate over-maturation.

The purpose of this study was to understand dietaty culture of the Buddhist priesthood in Seoul and Kyungnam. This survey was carried out through questionnaries and the subjects were 26 temples and hermitages. The results of this study can be summarized as follow: 1. Most of the Buddhist priesthood takes meal three times for a day regularly. The substitution food was used mainly rice gruel, fruits, powder of roasted grain, kinds of cookie and confectionary, kinds of steamed dish and milk. 2. The seasoning substances were used necessarily soy sauce, soybean paste, salt and sesame, sesame oil, vegetable oil, and used rarely Jepi powder, red powder, chinese pepper and M.S.G. 3. Eating table was used chiefly for Buddhist priethood and a vistor, and tea and cookie, D'ock, noodle were used often. Event and party foods of temple were used Bibimbab, Ogokbab, Yagbab, D'ockguk, soybean of noodle. 4. Offering food to Buddha was used to Five-offered to Buddha(香, 燈, 茶, 果, 米) primarily and religious food was used scarcely. 5. Special food was used D'ock, hand made cookie and confectionaries, kinds of chinish medicine tea and pine needle tea. Injulmi and Julpyun were prepared most frequently, and used to mixed rice flour with mugwort now and then. Coating and filling powders for D'ock were used to red bean, mung bean and soy bean. Kinds of hand made cookie were Yagkwa, Kangjeong, Dasik, Jungkwa and Yangeng. Beverages were thick hot beverage, kinds of leaf tea, chilled beverage, Yaksu mixed with soy sauce and bamboo salt, kinds of chinese medicine tea, milk and milk products and pine needles tea. 6. Preserved foods were used edible mountain herbs and seaweeds in drying and frying.
