The purpose of the paper is to explore the current knowledge on the nutritional evaluation, cholesterol-lowering effect and antitumor activity of kimchi and its ingredients(Korean cabbage, garlic, red pepper powder, ginger and onion). Kimchi contains high contents of nutrients such as vitamins(ascorbic acid, $\beta$-carotene and vitamin B complex), minerals(calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorous), essential amino acids and dietary fiber. Kimch also contains high levels of lactic acid bacteria, allicin, capsaicin, organic acid, phenol compounds, flavonoid and sulfur compounds. The dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi are effective in improving intestinal microflora of human. Isoluble dietary fiber shows anticancer activity, but soluble dietary fiber shows hypocholesterolemic effect. Lactic acid bacteria isolated from kimchi acts as a hypocholesterolemic or anticancer agent. A major ingredient of kimchi is mainly cruciferous and allium family vegetables, which were also reported to prevent cancer and atherosclerosis. It is suggested that kimchi is important not only as one of the traditional fermented Korean food but also as therapeutic agent for carcinogenesis and hypercholesterolemic state.

본 연구에서는 발효에 따른 돌산 갓김치 즙액내의 미생물량의 항산화 효과와의 관계, 발효 중 sinigrin 함량 변화와 일반성분의 변화를 조사하였다. 돌산 갓김치는 돌산 갓, 파, 마늘, 생강 그리고 고추가루를 첨가하여 제조하였으며, 2$0^{\circ}C$, 50일간 발효하였다. 갓김치 즙액내의 미생물의 수는 적숙기인 10일째까지 상승하다가 감소하는 경향이었는데 항산화 효과도 비슷한 앙상이어서 갓김치 발효 중 미생물에 의한 대사산물이 항산화 효과 증가와 같은 생리기능성에 큰 영향을 주었으리라 사료되며, sinigrin 함량도 발효가 진행되면서 적숙기에 최대로 나타나서 기능성 물질중 하나로 사료된다. 또한 일반성분 변화 중 조단백질의 양이 후숙기로 갈수록 증가하는 경향이었는데, 이는 각종 미생물의 증가로 인해 증가한 것으로 사료된다.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean food prepared by fermenting vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, which are seasoned with various ingredients, including red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, green onion, fermented seafood (Jeotgal), and salt. The various unique microorganisms and bioactive components in kimchi show antioxidant activity and have been associated with an enhanced immune response, as well as anti-cancer and anti-diabetic effects. Red pepper inhibits decay due to microorganisms and prevents food from spoiling. The vast amount of biological information generated by academic and industrial research groups is reflected in a rapidly growing body of scientific literature and expanding data resources. However, the genome, biological pathway, and related disease data are insufficient to explain the health benefits of kimchi because of the varied and heterogeneous data types. Therefore, we have constructed an appropriate semantic data model based on an integrated food knowledge database and analyzed the functional and biological processes associated with kimchi in silico. This complex semantic network of several entities and connections was generalized to answer complex questions, and we demonstrated how specific disease pathways are related to kimchi consumption.

The anti-adipogenic effect of dongchimi nano juice prepared using a nano-filtering process was investigated by measuring leptin and glycerol levels and the expression of a peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor-\gamma\;(PPAR\gamma)$ gene as indicators of lipid accumulation or lipolysis. Red pepper powder, seeds of red pepper, garlic, and ginger were added in the preparation of dongchimi. Dongchimi was fermented to reach the optimal fermentation period, followed by nano-filtration in the range of $0.0005\sim0.1\;{\mu}m$. The lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi nano juice were removed completely by a nano-filtering process. Treatment of dongchimi nano juice induced glycerol release in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreased the mRNA expression level of $PPAR\gamma$. These results suggested that dongchimi nano juice may enhance lipolysis and modulate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented vegetable food, the production of which involves brining of Korean cabbage, blending with various other ingredients (red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, salt-pickled seafood, etc.), and fermentation. Recently, kimchi has also become popular in the Western world because of its unique taste and beneficial properties such as antioxidant and antimutagenic activities, which are derived from the various raw materials and secondary metabolites of the fermentative microorganisms used during production. Despite these useful activities, analysis of the microbial community present in kimchi has received relatively little attention. The objective of this study was to evaluate the bacterial community structure from the raw materials, additives, and final kimchi product using the culture-independent method. Specifically, polymerase chain reaction-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) was used to analyze the 16S rRNA partial sequences of the microflora. One primer set for bacteria, 341F^GC-518R, reliably produced amplicons from kimchi and its raw materials, and these bands were clearly separated on a 35-65% denaturing gradient gel. Overall, 117 16S rRNA fragments were identified by PCR-DGGE analysis. Pediococcus pentosaceus, Leuconostoc citreum, Leuconostoc gelidum, and Leuconostoc mesenteroides were the dominant bacteria in kimchi. The other strains identified were Tetragenococcus, Pseudomonas, Weissella, and uncultured bacterium. Comprehensive analysis of these microorganisms could provide a more detailed understanding of the biologically active components of kimchi and help improve its quality. PCR-DGGE analysis can be successfully applied to a fermented food to detect unculturable or other species.
