This study investigated the effects of the addition levels of white kimchi powder and acerola juice powder, as natural sources of sodium nitrite and sodium ascorbate, on the quality of cooked ground pork products. Freeze-dried white kimchi powder was prepared and used after fermentation for 2 wk. Six treatments were included: control (100 ppm sodium nitrite and 500 ppm sodium ascorbate), treatment 1 (0.2% white kimchi powder, 0.02 % starter culture, and 0.1% acerola juice powder), treatment 2 (0.2% white kimchi powder, 0.02% starter culture, and 0.2% acerola juice powder), treatment 3 (0.4% white kimchi powder, 0.04% starter culture, and 0.1% acerola juice powder), treatment 4 (0.4% white kimchi powder, 0.04% starter culture, and 0.2% acerola juice powder), and treatment 5 (0.4% celery powder, 0.04% starter culture, and 0.2% acerola juice powder). The pH values were decreased (p<0.05) because of lower pH of acerola juice powder, resulting in lower cooking yields (p<0.05) in these treatments. CIE L* and CIE a* values of indirectly cured meat products were not different (p>0.05) from the sodium nitrite-added control. However, indirectly cured meat products showed lower (p<0.05) residual nitrite contents, but higher (p<0.05) nitrosyl hemochrome contents and cure efficiency than the control. Treatments 2 and 4 had higher (p<0.05) total pigment contents and lipid oxidation than the control. This study indicates that white kimchi powder coupled with acerola juice powder has substantial potential to substitute synthetic nitrite to naturally cured meat products, which could be favored by consumers seeking clean label products.

The effective fermentation methods of Kimchi juice for utilization of outer layer of Chinese cabbage, an waste of Kimchi industry were studied. The Kimchi juice prepared with brining and grinding the waste of Chinese cabbage and addition of spices was fermented at $25^{\circ}C$. Addition of 5$^{\circ}C$15% fermented Kimchi juice of pH 5.4 at initial stage and pH 4.4 at middle state resulted in a significant increase in fermentation rate and solid content after 12 hours of fermentation. The combined method of enzymatic hydrolysis(0.1% viscozyme) of the brined and ground cabbage and addition of 2.0% NaCl, 1.0% sucrose and 10% fermented juice of pH 5.4 first and 4.4 during fermentation, respectively resulted in more rapid fermentation. The solid concentration was 5 times higher than control at maximum point and acidic and total flavor intensity were also significantly high.

Addition of sugar, enzymatic hydrolysis and salt concentration were evaluated for their effects on the changes in some characteristics of Kimchi juice during fermentation. The Kimchi juice was prepared by brining and grinding of outer layer leaves of chinese cabbage, one of the wastes products of Kimchi processing, followed by fermentation proceeded significantly faster. Addition of sucrose or glucose at the ange of 0.5~2.0 % also improved the fermentation but the concentration effect was little. Enzymatic hydrolysis on the brined cabbage prior to fermentation with a commercial polysaccharides hydrolases also increased the fermentation. However the solid concentration in Kimchi juice was rather decreased by higher concentration of NaCl and enzymatic hydrolysis. The reducing sugar content showed a rapid decrease from 24 hours of fermentation and the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis was little.

The optional ingredient, Maesil juice, was adopted to improve the quality of Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi during fermentation. The final weight of the Maesil juice as a percentage of the water content in the Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi was adjusted to 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7%. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ over a 30 days period. After fermentation, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice gave the highest pH values and lowest total acidities. With regard to the reducing sugars, the 3 and 5% treatments gave the highest contents. The number of the total cell count and lactic acid bacteria increased to their maxima during fermentation, but began to decrease during the latter stages. Here, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice showed distinctive lower and higher numbers of total cells and lactic acid bacteria, respectively, during the latter stages of fermentation. With regard to the sensory evaluation on the addition of Maesil juice, the results obtained with 3 and 5% additions to the fermented Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were favored for color, smell, sour and carbonated tastes and overall acceptability of the products. Therefore, the optimum levels of Maesil juice addition to Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were estimated to be between 3 and 5%.

This study was performed to investigate the physiochemical and sensory characteristics of Kimchi with added Houttuynia cordata Thunb(HC). According to measurements for physicochemical characteristics, the three groups of tested Kimchi(HC juice, HC powder, control) did not show any significant differences in pH and hardness. However, the acidity of the Kimchi with added HC juice was found to be significantly higher. Regarding lightness, L values were not different among the three groups, while a and b values showed significant decreases. In descriptive analysis, Kimchi redness was lowest in the HC juice group, and difference in redness was identified between the HC juice and powder groups. One survey indicated that the Kimchi with added HC juice had a unique odor, but no difference was found between the HC powder group and the control group. Also, a survey on preference characteristics indicated there were no differences between the three groups. For the saltiness and acidity of the Kimchi with added HC, there was a significant negative correlation(p<0.05), in which stronger saltiness lower acidity. On the other hand, acidity and HC odor showed a significantly positive correlation(p<0.05). Furthermore, the L value showed a significantly negative correlation(p<0.05) with HC odor.

Color of kimchi juice was measured instrumentally to evaluate the quality of Korean cabbage kimchi during fermentation at 4$^{\circ}C$ and 16$^{\circ}C$ . These results were compared with those of chemical analyses of kimchi juice and sensory evaluation for kimchi. Chemiral analyses and sensory evaluation showed that the kimchi has reached pH 4.3, the pH value under an optimum ripening period, after 3-days fermentation at 16$^{\circ}C$ with almost the highest contents of vitamin C and carotenoids as well as desirable sour taste and texture. At 4$^{\circ}C$ the kimchi was unripened after 6-days fermentation. At 16$^{\circ}C$, $L^{*}$ value of kimchi juice did not show any significant change during fermentation periods. However, $a^{*}$ value increased until day 4$^{\circ}C$ and thereafter decreased sharply. $b^{*}$ value increased until day 3 and then showed no change. High correlations were seen between volume of kimchi juice, pH, total acidity and $L^{*}$or $b^{*}$ value, and between carotenoid content and $a^{*}$ value, respectively. It was desirable to use color $a^{*}$ or $b^{*}$ value of kimchi juice to evaluate the quality of kimchi. The kimchi was under an over-ripening period when $a^{*}$ value was equal to or lower than the initial value, or when $b^{*}$ value was almost constant. Predicting an optimum ripening period was possible by using a proportional value of $a^{*/}$ $b^{*}$ , i.e., unripening period, 1 $\geq$ and near 1 ; optimum ripening period, near 0.8 ; over-ripening period, < 0.8.eriod, < 0.8.d, < 0.8.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the chemical and sensory properties of Kimchi added apple Juice. Kimchi added amount of 0, 5 and 10% of apple juice was fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 20 days. During the fermentation, pH was lowered in all Kimchi samples and pH of Kimchi added apple juice was a little lower than that of Kimchi without apple juice. Acidity was increased continuously and saltiness was maintained at 1.6~2.3% levels during fermentation. Although reducing sugar was increased in the early stage of fermentation, it was decreased subsequently as fermentation proceeded. Also the reducing sugar of Kimchi added apple juice was relatively higher than the other sample. Total vitamin C(Vit C) of Kimchi added apple juice was reduced in the early stage of fermentation and increased gradually after 10 days. As a result of the sensory evaluation, Kimchi added 5% of apple juice, was showed high scores in taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability in the early stage of fermentation.

Antimutagenic activity of crushed kimchi fermented with starter under various conditions such as temperature(5-20$^{\circ}C$), salt concentration(2-10%), addition rate of starter (0-20%) was investigated. The kimchi was fermented with crushed Chinese cabbage without salting, red pepper powder, crushed garlic, crushed ginger, anchovy juice and starter. Well fermented kimchi juice(fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days) and sterilized radish juice was used as a source of lactic acid bacteria and starter medium, respectively. Antimutagenic activity showed the highest in the crushed kimchi fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 15 days, 4% salt concentration, 5% starter added, respectively. The inhibition rate of mutagenic activity of the kimchi against S. typhimurium TA98 induced by NQO and S. typhimurium TA100 induced by MNNG was 56.41% and 60.11%, respectively. And the inhibition rate of the kimchi juice showed 56-60% per 100ul.

This study was conducted to standardize ingredient ratios of wooung kimchi. The ingredient ratios of model wooung kimchiwere determined by the survey in Pusan and Kyungnam province and using the literatures including cooking books. Several kinds of wooung kimchi were prepared by adjusting the ingredient ratios fo the model wooung kimchi within standard deviation. The wooung kimchi with different ingredient ratios were fermented for 6 days at 15$^{\circ}C$. The chemical, microbial and sensory properties of the wooung kimchi were investigated. There was little change in pH but the counts of lactic acid bacteria were decreased, as the ratio of pickled anchovy juice became high. The wooung kimchi adding 9.4% pickled anchovy juice obtained high score in appearance and overall acceptability. The counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased in wooung kimchi adding 5% red pepper powder, and there was obtained better result in appearance, texture and overall acceptability than the other groups. The activity, reducing sugar and counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased, as the ratio of glutinous rice paste became high. The wooung kimchi including 6% glutinous rice paste showed the highest score in overall acceptability. The fermentation process of wooung kimchi accelerated, as the ratio of garlic became high. The wooung kimchi adding 3% garlic showed good appearance and acceptability. In addition to these, the addition of 1.3% ginger ehhanced the appearance, texture and overall acceptability fermented anchovy juice, 5.0% red pepper powder, 6.0% glutinous rice paste, 3.0% crushed garlic and 1.3% crushed ginger.
