Planting date shift is one of the means of adapting to climate change in Kimchi Cabbage growers in major production areas in Korea. This study suggests a method to estimate the potential yield of Kimchi Cabbage based on daily temperature accumulation during the growth period from planting to maturity which is determined by a plant phenology model tuned to Kimchi Cabbage. The phenology model converts any changes in the thermal condition caused by the planting date shift into the heat unit accumulation during the growth period, which can be calculated from daily temperatures. The physiological maturity is estimated by applying this model to a variable development rate function depending either on growth or heading stage. The cabbage yield prediction model (Ahn et al., 2014) calculates the potential yield of summer cabbage by accumulating daily heat units for the growth period. We combined these two models and applied to the 1km resolution climate scenario (2000-2100) based on RCP8.5 for South Korea. Potential yields in the current normal year (2001-2010) and the future normal year (2011-2040, 2041-2070, and 2071-2100) were estimated for each grid cell with the planting dates of July 1, August 1, September 1, and October 1. Based on the results, we divided the whole South Korea into 810 watersheds, and devised a three - dimensional evaluation chart of the time - space - yield that enables the user to easily find the optimal planting date for a given watershed. This method is expected to be useful not only for exploring future new cultivation sites but also for developing cropping systems capable of adaptation to climate change without changing varieties in existing production areas.

This research aimed to Kimchi to be well known in the World, which to be international food on the each nation and each people, each religion cultural area, with having done Kimchi adaptation plan for localization. Among the plan, Kimchi utilization ways with the localization strategy in Turkish dietary life were investigated to the Kimchi preference, improvement points on Turkish view, for the Turkey person it would be able to apply in Turkish food culture, and the results are as follows. 1. According to sex of Chinese cabbage Kimchi preference, men ($M=3.75\;{\pm}\;0.89$) appeared higher than women ($M=3.62\;{\pm}\;0.88$). Color or appearance preference after Chinese cabbage Kimchi taste was investigated in order that red > burnish felt > transparent > yellow, and the smell preference which was hot($M=4.64\;{\pm}\;1.37$) appeared highest. A hot taste felt most intensely, and it was investigated in order that aftertaste> salty taste > sourness > off flavor taste > fermented fish source taste > sweetness> carbonic acid by the followings. For the feeling of texture of Kimchi, the crunch was higher than durable tough(it was visible the consider difference of the sex 2. That the Korean Kimchi hit to a palatable taste, against 109 people (72.2%) answered suitable appetite to this taste, and the reason which was in order of that hot tasty > appearance > chewing texture > red > fermented flavor was investigated. Did not hit to a taste 42 people (27.8%) answer back, with the reason that was investigated in order of hot tasty > appearance > red > fermented flavor > chewing texture. The hot tasty of Kimchi was commonly presented that hit and did not hit to appetite taste against people. 3. Among the Turkish food, similar foods for Kimchi were answered in order of Lahana Tursu (44.2 %) > Kapuska (25.9 %) > Lahana Prasa (11.1%), and similar food category were that Chinese cabbage or various vegetables to be pickling food and to be dressing salad with salt and vinegar. The accompanied or garnished Turkich food category for Kimchi were answered in order of cooking meat (34.1%)> steamed cooking rice (22.7%)> cooking fish (17.0%)> cooking soybean (14.2%). This result was same tendency with steamed cooking rice accompaniment for Kimchi in Korea and Turkey, and could be applied a new main menu like meat cooking and fish cooking dish which matched and accompanied with Kimchi.

This study was examined for investigating the quality changes of spring kimchi cabbage under various treatments (pre-drying/pre-cooling, packaging types, and stacking and loading in container and pallete in the storage room) during cold storage. The results showed that control (upward stacking without pre-drying/pre-cooling and HDPE or PVC film cover) was increased significantly in weight loss and trimming loss, compared to other treatments such as DPDH (downard stacking + pre-drying + HDPE), DPDP (downard stacking + pre-drying + PVC), DPCH (downnard stacking + pre-cooling + HDPE), and UPCH (upward stacking + pre-cooling +HDPE) during storage for three months. In Sensory evaluation, judging from marketable properties, the desirable appearance of spring kimchi cabbage with the modified pallet-unit MA packed, PE, and PVC film wrapping could be maintained until 9 weeks after pre-drying/pre-cooling. Meanwhile, the control without any treatments after 6 weeks, the sensory score was declined, significantly. In general, the low temperature (10℃ and 2℃) of pre-treatment with combination of plastic film packaging in spring kimchi cabbage storage could inhibit the physiological activity and reduce the direct exposure of environmental cold air in the storage. Therefore, these two variables were the key points for extending the shelf-life of spring kimchi cabbage.

To enhance the antitumor activity of Chinese cabbage kimchi, four kinds of kimchi, which ere differently prepared in kinds and levels of sub-ingredients, were fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 1 day and then at 5$^{\circ}C$ up to pH 4.3. The solid tumor formation, hepatic glutathione S-transferase activity and glutathione contents in the liver, and natural killer (NK) cell activity of spleen were determined from the sarcoma-180 cell injected Balb/c mice that were treated with methanol extracts of the kimchi samples. Kimchi IV, prepared with organically cultivated Chinese cabbage, red pepper powder, garlic, Chinese pepper powder mustard leaf and heat processed salt (Gueun salt), reduced the tumor formation by 39.3% compared to the sarcoma-180 cell treated group, resulting in the smallest tumor weight. Methanol extracts of the kimchi III and kimchi IV recovered the activities of hepatic glutathione S-transferase(GST) that was decreased by the transplantation of the sarcoma-180 cells to th mice. The injections of methanol extracts of kimchi II and kimchi IV increased glutathione contents in sarcoma-180 cells treated mice. The methanol extract of kimchi IV increased the natural killer (NK) cell activity of spleen lymphocytes a more effectively (p<0.05) than those the other kimchi samples. These results suggest that the anticancer activities of kimchi can be increased by changing the kinds and levels of sub-ingredients.

Effect of the pretreatment with acetic acid(0.01%, 0.05%, 0.1%) on the fermentation of Chinese cabbage Kimchi, and differences in the degree of maturity between Chinese cabbage blades and midribs were observed. To estimate the degree of maturity, correlation analysis was used with several variables such as pH, titratable acidity, volatile acidity, ascorbic acid content, resazurin test value and pH/acidity ratio. Based on the pH and titratable acidity, the degree of maturity of Chinese cabbage midribs fermented at 10$^{\circ}C$ until the optimum stage of fermentation increased more rapidly than those of the blades. The stage of maturity of Kimchi pretreated with 0.01% acetic acid were slightly prolonged, compared to those pretreated with acetic acid at the higher levels. The pH of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades pretreated with acetic acid was lower than those of control between 2nd and l0th day of fermentation. The volatile acidity of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades increased proportionally with the concentration of acetic acid. The ascorbic acid contents of Chinese cabbage midribs showed higher than those of Chinese cabbage blades. During the fermentation, the higher concentration of acetic acid was used, the less ascorbic acid content was remained. The pH/acidity ratio, volatile acidity, ascorbic acid content and resazurin test value of Chinese cabbage midribs and blades during Kimchi fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ showed good correlations with the pH and titratable acidity.

Salted Chinese cabbage was washed in 1,000 ppm solutions of grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) or citric acid, and used to make kimchi for the retentio of quality characteristics during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$. Kimchi treated with GFSE or citric acid showed a retarded increase in titratable acidity and decrease in pH and reducing sugar content. Total microbial count and lactic acid bacteria of GFSE treated kimchi were about 1.1 log(CFU/g) lower than those of control and citric acid treated kimchi after making, but the difference was gradually reduced during fermentation.

This study investigated the effect of adding germinated brown rice extract powder (GBREP; 0, 0.67, 3.35, 6.70%) during the fermentation of Korean cabbage kimchi. From the result, pH was decreased and total acidity was increased. Total sugar was decreased steadily during the fermentation and reducing sugar were increased at 3 days of fermentation but then decreased steadily. Counts of total microbe and Leuconostoc sp. were increased rapidly from the beginning and reached the highest level at 12 days of fermentation, after then decreased slowly. Counts of Lactobacillus sp. were increased until 12 days of fermentation, and then maintained stably. In sensory evaluation test, the overall acceptability of Korean cabbage kimchi with 3.35% GBREP gained the highest score.

Liquid calcium fertilizer evenly dispersed has been prepared using calcium carbonate powder and several surfactants. The calcium contents of nine fruits and vegetables were compared after spraying the liquid fertilizer onto the leaf of them six times for 2 months. The calcium contents of cabbage and potato increased to 155% and 154%, respectively. In addition, by virtue of the relatively high contents of calcium, rigidities of the texture were also increased, which would result in higher value-added vegetables. Kimchi was prepared using a Korean cabbage sprayed with the liquid calcium fertilizer and its fermentation characteristics were analyzed. A sensory evaluation has been performed to give the best result for a calcium Kimchi fermented for 14 days.

Kmich is the traditional vegetable fermented food. Like other traditional foods. it was not known when the kimchi was first processed. In the chinese historical litera tures, Salt and varlous vegetables were used in Korea from the time of kokuryo and shila Dynasty. Brined vegetable product might be therefore, processed at that time for the winter. But the product was highly salted and any seasonings were not added at all. Chinese cabbage and ned pepper were used for kimchi processing in 15-16 centureis. Vanious type of Kimchi simllar to present products were processed thereafter.
