The purpose of the study is to examine the convergence effects of the addition of Broadleaf liriope (Liriope platy phylla) on the taste and fermentation characteristics of kimchi. Based on the weight of the total materials used for making kimchi, the added rates of Liriope platy phylla were 0, 3, 5. 7, 10%, respectively. Kimchi was fermented for 28 days at $5^{\circ}C$ to investigate pH, acidity, total and lactic acid bacteria and sensory evaluation was performed. The control in pH showed a tendency to get rapidly lower, and the treatment slowly lower until 14 days, and it maintained the optimal taste. In the acidity change, the control rapidly rose after 14 days of fermentation, and the treatment maintained a regular level after 21 days. In the change of the total bacteria, the control increased after 21 days of maturing and the treatment progressed maturing without a big change after 14 days, and the lactic acid bacteria increased and had almost no change after 21 days. The sensory test, overall acceptability, flavor, taste, sour taste, palatability and texture were significantly high, and in the flavor, palatability and overall acceptability, the Liriope platy phylla 5% added treatment was the highest. The Liriope platy phylla 5% added treatment is expected to improve the taste and hypotonicity of kimchi.
