The optimal culture conditions on bacteriocin producing of Lactobacillus sp. FF-3 isolated from Korean Dongchimi, were studied for enhancing its production with regard to environmental and nutritional factors. The optimal cultivation time, initial pH and temperature were 21 hours, pH 7.0 and 30∼37$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Optimal compositions of culture medium for bacteriocin production were glucose 3% as carbon source, tryptone 4% as nitrogen source, and manganese sulfate 0.005% as inorganic salt with other basal components. The maximum antimicrobial activity was 484 BU/mL under the optimal culture condition.

Pasteurization of low salt dongchimi juice was studied for the effect of heating temperature and time on total viable counts and some physicochemical and sensory properties. The juice was prepared by fermentation of the radish at $20^{\circ}C$ in 0.5% NaCl solution. Heating the juice (pH 3.8) at $60{\sim}100^{\circ}C\;for\;5{\sim}30$ min caused little changes in pH and total acidity while the lightness (L value) was decreased and the turbidity, a and b values of color were increased as the heating temperature and time increased. The total viable counts of microorganisms was significantly decreased to 18 at $60^{\circ}C$ and 6 at $70^{\circ}C$ after 30 min heating and was not detected after heating at 90 and $100^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The sensory test showed that heating up to $70^{\circ}C$ for 20 min caused a little cooked off-flavor. After storage of the pasteurized juices at $30^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, the pH, total acidity and color were changed little while the unheated juice changed significantly. The total viable counts of microorganisms was also remained initial level after pasteurization. Therefore pasteurization at $60^{\circ}C$ for 30 min or $70^{\circ}C$ for 20 min was recommendable in the aspects of storage stability and quality characteristics.

The chemical and organoleptic properties of dongchimi studied for their changes during fermentation at $4{\sim}35^{\circ}C$ in 7% NaCl solution with seasonings. It was found that pH decrease showed three variation points in its slope at about pH 5.2, 4.7 and 4.1 during fermentation. A negative linear relationship between total acidity and logarithmic value of pH was obtained. The slope of the relationship curve was increased as the fermentation temperature increased. The reducing sugar was increased until pH reached$4.0{\sim}4.2$ followed by a small decrease and its amount was lowered as the temperature increased from $4\;to\;25^{\circ}C$ The major nonvolatile organic acids were lactic and citric acids. The increase in lactic acid were more marked at $25^{\circ}C$ than at $4^{\circ}C$. As fermentation proceeded the fresh radish odor significantly decreased while sourness and yeast-moldy odor increased. The crispness of the radish decreased slightly during fermentation.

A survey on the preference of kimchi and actual amounts of kimchi intake conducted from july to october 1999 to get basic information needed for the augmentation of kimchi intake. Total 1,241 of women and men aged $10{\sim}60$ in kyung-nam area participated in this survey. Except people aged $20{\sim}30$, all of subjects, especially in people aged 60 and over, liked fresh prepared kimchi best, and then fermented kimchi. But all of subjects disliked over fermented kimchi.(p<0.001) And women$(4.3{\pm}0.9)$ liked better fresh prepared kimchi than men$(4.2{\pm}1.0)$, men$(4.0{\pm}0.9)$ liked better fermented kimchi than women$(3.9{\pm}1.1)$.(p<0.05) In subjects aged above 40, as age grow up, the preference of fermented kimchi and over fermented kimchi grew lower. All of subjects best liked chinease cabbage kimchi, and then chonggak kimchi, kakdugi, yeulmu kimchi, dongchimi in order. And women liked better nabag kimchi, yeulmu kimchi, sesame leaf kimchi, bek kimchi, cucumber kimchi, godulppegi kimchi than men and men liked better chinease cabbage kimchi, kakdugi, dongchimi than women.(p<0.05) People aged $10{\sim}20$ and above 60 disliked chonggag kimchi. The preference of kakdugi were high in people aged $10{\sim}20$, but as age grow up, the preference of kakdugi became lower.(p<0.001) The preference of nabak kimchi and dongchimi with juice were significantly high in people aged 60 and over but people aged $10{\sim}20$ disliked. Also subjects aged $10{\sim}20$ disliked significantly yeulmu kimchi, sesame leaf kimchi, green onion kimchi, bek kimchi, cucumber kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi and godulppegi kimchi and subjects aged $20{\sim}30$ disliked significantly yeulmu kimchi, mustard leaf kimchi, godulppegi kimchi(p<0.001). But subject aged 30 and older liked all kinds of kimchi. The amounts of kimchi intake in Kyung-nam area were same level of average amount(100g) of korean intake but the amounts of kimchi intake of men$(106.4{\pm}74.0)$ were more than women$(96.9{\pm}69.5)$(p<0.05)

The effect of 0.05% Sorbic acid on the Kimchi fermentation and stability of ascorbic acid were investigated at 23~$25^{\circ}C$. The results are as follows. 1. Kimchi with sorbic acid showed a higher pH and a lower total acidity in general, as compared with the control Kimchi. 2. Kimchi with sorbic acid contains more ascorbic acid for the fermentation period. Especially showed the higher hydro ascorbic acid than control Kimchi. 3. The Lacticacid bacteria isolated from Baechu Kimchi and Dongchimi are identifi-ed as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus Plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis, Streptococcus faecalis, Pediococcus pentosaceus. 4. The effect of sorbic acid upon the growth of Lactic acid bacteria and acid prod-ucibility is found least in Lactobacillus Plantarum, and most in Leuconostoc mesenter-oides. 5. The changes of Lacticacid bacteria occured during Kimchi fermentation curbed Leuconostoc mesenteroides most of all in Baechu Kimchi and Dongchimi with sorbic acid, while the least influence was had on Lactobacillus plantarum. Expecially, yeast wae completely curbed. 6. A result of a sensory evaluation reveals that a better taste is derived from the control Kimchi, with a significant difference, in pH4~4.3, whereas from Kimchi with sorbic acia in pH 3.7~3.8.

Diversity of lactic acid bacteria involved in 5 Korean fermented vegetables (Cot kimchi, Dongchimi, Baechu kimchi, Oisobagi, and Chonggak kimchi) was investigated using PCR-based method. PCR primer pairs targeted the recA gene were used for the detection of 7 species of lactic acid bacteria mainly found in kimchi and Lactobacillus acidophilus involved in dairy fermentation. Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus sakei were detected in all samples tested but Lactobacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus pentosus, and Lb. acidophilus were not detected. Lactobacillus brevis and Leuconostoc citreum were detected only from Baechu kimchi and Leuconostoc mesenteroides was detected from Got kimchi, Dongchimi, Baechu kimchi, and Oisobagi. The difference of detected species from fermented vegetables may be originated from the difference of main materials. Lb. plantarum and Lb. sakei are supposed to be broadly involved in Korean fermented vegetables.

This study was carried out to investigate the intake pattern and the experience on the kimchi-making, and to analyze the taste preference of kimchi. The questionnaires have been collected from 473 college students in Taejon. Most students had taken baechu-kimchi, kkakduki, yeolmu-kimchi, dongchimi, and cheonggak-kimchi. They liked baechu-kimchi best, and then cheonggak-kimchi. Twenty-seven percent of students took kimchi every meal time and 53 % once a day. The rest 19.4% replied that they could take meals without kimchi. The male students ate more kimchi than the female(p<0.01). Sixty-five percent of them had tried the foreign foods made with kimchi and female had more experience than male(p<0.01). The taste of kimchi-japchae and kimchi-woodong was indicated as edible or taste very good by over two thirds of the students. Kimchi-pizza, kimchi-hamburger, and kimchi-spaghetti were evaluated as edible or taste good by the over half. The aging of kimchi was believed to be the most important factor to determine the taste. Students preferred kimchi which was weak in salty, sweet, and jot-kal taste, strong in hot taste, and proper in sour taste(well-fermented). Compared with the male, the female enjoyed kimchi having stronger sour and weaker jot-kal taste(p<0.01). More female students(43.5%) had experenced kimchi-making than the male(26.5%)(p<0.001). Three-fourth of them had made kimchi with their mother. Baechu-kimchi, cheonggak-kimchi, and dongchimi were recommended as the global food.

The main purpose of this study is to provide a basic knowledge of Kimchi preferred by high school students and to improve high school students' Kimchi intake. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 1,056 high school students in Taegu area. The results were as follows: 82% of the students had an affirmative opinion of Kimchi intake and they regarded Kimchi as one of our traditional, healthful and nutritious foods. The most well known Kimchi is as follows: Kkaktugi, Baechu Kimchi, Mul Kimchi, Chonggak Kimchi, Pa Kimchi, Dongchimi, Kkaennip Kimchi and Buchu Kimchi. The students preferred the white stems of the Chinese cabbage. Boy students preferred taste of fresh prepared Kimchi but girl students more preferred properly fermented Kimchi than the other. Their favorite ingredients were Korean radishes, oysters, green onion and carrots, also their favorite spices were red pepper powder, anchovies sauce, garlic and sugar in the order. Among those spices, boy students more preferred anchovies sauce than girl students. The students regarded market Kimchi as one of convenient and time-saving, but less quality and insanitary foods.
