This study was performed to analyze the quality characteristics of Oiji solution and Oiji preserved with $7\%$ salt brine and the others preserved with Pulsatilla koreana additives of varied concentrations $(3,\;6\;and\;9\%)$ during fermentation (24 days) at room temperature $(20\pm2^{\circ}C)$. The resuls of this experiment was as follows: The pH of Oiji added with Pulsatilla koreana of 3, 6 and $9\%$ tended to decrease as a fermentation period got longer. The acidity of Oiji was increased as a fermentation period got longer and reached the highest value in the 21st day. The acidity of Oiji solution was $0.92\~1.06\%$ and that of Oiji itself was $0.77\~1.61\%$. The Brix value showed $0.77\%$ for Oiji at the frist day and $3.33\~3.70\%$ at the 24th day. The Brix value of the Oiji with no addition showed the lowest value. Salt content was $2.39\~2.53\%$ for Oiji solution and $3.20\~3.33\%$ for Oiji. The tumidity as $\%T$ of Oiji solution was $52.67\%$ at the first day, that of Oiji solution with no addition of Pulsatilla koreana showed $-10.53\%$ and one which added $9\%$ Pulsatilla koreana showed $-1.16\%$ of tumidity as $\%T$ at the 24th day. As the fermentation period got longer, Oiji solution became tumid The tumidity of Oiji . solution with addition of Pulsatilla koreana showed a low level. For the texture of Oiji, hardness decreased in all cases and fracturability also decreased drastically, but adhesiveness increased as fermentation proceeded Sensory evaluation of Oiji with $6\%$ Pulsatilla koreana additives showed the highest score of taste, crispness and overall acceptance expect smell.

To investigate Oiji (traditional Korean cucumber pickles) with reduced sodium content based on the use of saline foods as a salt substitute, Oiji was prepared using glasswort powder (Salicornia herbacea L.), and its physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation were examined. The moisture content of Oiji was shown to be higher in those to which glasswort powder had been added compared to the control without addition of glasswort powder, and Oiji with 40% glasswort powder substitute showed the highest pH and lowest acidity, resulting in slow progression of fermentation. The salinity of Oiji among those containing glasswort powder substitute was significantly higher with increasing level of glasswort powder. The sodium content of Oiji was significantly reduced as addition of glasswort powder increased. The L value of Oiji decreased with increased addition of glasswort powder, whereas the a value was highest in the control. The hardness of Oiji was higher in the control than in Oiji containing glasswort powder. Taste acceptance was highest for Oiji with 20% glasswort powder substitute, whereas acceptance of appearance was higher for Oiji with 10% glasswort powder substitute. Flavor and texture acceptance was higher for the control. In the attribute difference test, significant differences were found in brownness, off-flavor, salty taste, and sourness. Based on the findings, 10-20% substitution of salt with glasswort powder did not significantly lower overall acceptance compared to the control while salinity of Oiji was maintained. Therefore, the potential production of low-sodium Oiji has been verified.

In order to study low salinity Oiji (cucumber pickled in salt) with a reduced content of sodium, which was accomplished by replacing the salt in this saliferous food, we produced Oiji using sea tangle and, then performed physicochemical and sensory evaluations. It was found that the moisture content of Oiji was decreased with increasing the amount of added sea tangle. The pH and acidity were significantly different between the samples made with sea tangle, and the pH and acidity showed no consistent tendency according to the amount of sea tangle powder added. The salinity of Oiji was the highest in the control Oiji (2.92%), and the higher the amount of sea tangle added, the lower was the salinity in the Oiji with the salt replaced by sea tangle (2.78 to 2.89%). The sodium content of Oiji was also the highest in the control Oiji (591.65 mg/100 g) and significantly decreased with the increasing addition of sea tangle (560.43~366.71 mg/100 g). The color value of Oiji showed a significant difference between the samples, with no consistent tendency according to the amount of added sea tangle powder. The hardness of Oiji was significantly greater in the Oiji with the salt replaced by 40% of sea tangle, with greater hardness noted as the amount of added sea tangle powder increased (217.70 g). As a result of the acceptance test of Oiji, there were significant differences between the samples in overall acceptance, appearance, and taste, showing that the Oiji with salt replaced by 30% of sea tangle was significantly highest in overall acceptance and taste. The attribute difference test showed a significant difference only for the brown color, while no significant differences were found between the samples for off-flavor, bitter taste, fermented taste, salty taste, sour taste, hardness and crispness. The above results demonstrated that when sea tangle was substituted for 30 to 40% of the salt content, the Oiji with a low content of sodium and low salinity can be produced with a high level of taste and overall preference. Therefore, this study firmly demonstrated that 30 to 40% of the salt can be replaced by sea tangle as a substitute in order to produce Oiji that has low salinity, a low sodium content.

This study was carried out to investigate changes in the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Oiji(Korean pickled cucumbers) prepared with different salts(bay, refined and purified salt). The pH of Oiji prepared with bay salt was higher than those prepared with refined and purified salts. The salt concentration of Oiji prepared with purified salt showed the highest value during fermentation period. The cutting forces at middle part of Oiji prepared with bay and refined salts were higher than those of raw cucumber, and bay salt resulted in the highest force during fermentation period. The result of sensory evaluation indicated significant differences in color, odor, taste, texture and overall acceptability among salts at 5% level. Oiji prepared with bay salt showed the highest score in most the sensory characteristics.

This study was carried out to observe the changes of Oiji quality during fermentation by preparing the samples with various functional ingredients (Chinese pepper(Sancho), onion, pine leaves) exerting antimicrobial effect. The pH values of all experiment groups decreased significantly in proportion to the ripening period(P＜0.05). Control and Chinese pepper-added groups showed a rapid decrease in pH after 5 days of ripening, and Onion- and Pine leaves-added groups after 3 days of ripening. All experimental groups showed the lowest pH value at the 20th day of ripening. Rapid permeation of salt solution occured in all groups at the 3rd day of ripening. But the increase rate of salt permeation decreased gradually after 3 days of ripening. Lightness and redness in color decreased gradually in all groups, but the redness of Pine leaves-added group increased at the 30th day of ripening. Yellowness of control group was higher than that of others after 10 days of ripening(P＜0.05), and the yellowness of pine leaves-added Oiji was the lowest among all after 5 days of ripening(P<0.05). The maximum cutting force of raw cucumber was observed at stem end followed by blossom end and middle part, and the Oiji samples also showed the same order at the early stage of ripening. In general, maximum cutting force of minor ingredient-added Oiji was higher than that of control and maximum cutting force was decreased at the 30th day of ripening. Onion-added group showed the highest value among all at the 40th day of ripening. Chinese pepper-added group was ranked low, but onion- and pine leaves-added groups were ranked high in sensory evaluation.

This study was performed to analyze the microbiological properties of Oiji soaking solution and Oiji preserved with $7\%$ brine and the others preserved with Pulsatilla koreana additives of various concentration$(0,\;3,\;6,\;9\%)$ during fermentation(24 days) at room temperature$(20\pm2^{\circ}C)$. The results of this experiment are as follows: The total number of microbes showed radical increase up to 6th day of growth period and decreased afterwards. Growth of microbes was impeded in the beginning of fermentation in the case of adding $6\%$ Pulsatilla koreana. The number of lactic acid bacteria tended to increase progressively until 15th day and then decreased, and that in the group of $6\%$ Pulsatilla koreana was relatively lower than those of other groups. Antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aereus and Micrococcus luteus was shown weakly from 9th day of fermentation regardless of the concentration of Pulsatilla koreana additives, but inactivated after 21st day of fermentation.

To optimize the fermentation period of lightly salted Oiji, 3% salt was added to cucumbers that were fermented at $27{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days, after which their physical properties (moisture content, salinity, pH, acidity, hardness) and sensory characteristics (acceptance test, difference test) were evaluated. The moisture content was highest at day 6. Hardness slowly increased as fermentation time increased, but not significantly. The pH was highest after 3 days of fermentation, and tended to decrease as fermentation time increased, with the largest drop occurring between 4 and 5 days, and the lowest pH occurring between 6 and 7 days. Acidity was lowest after day 3 of fermentation and highest after day 7. Acidity tended to increase as fermentation period lengthened. The L-value tended to decrease as salt concentration increased. The a-value declined from day 3 to day 5, then increased significantly by day 7. The b-value was highest after 7 days, with a tendency to increase as the fermentation progressed. Acceptance test results were highest for taste and overall acceptance after 5 days of fermentation. The difference test showed that the optimal lightly salted Oiji fermentation period was approximately 5 days. These results indicate that lightly salted Oiji fermented for 5 days produced the highest acceptance.

Effect of blanching and/or $CaCl_2$ addition on the quality characteristics of Oiji prepared by dry salting method, which has been used for industry, was investigated. Control$(15\%\;salt),\;CAO(15\%\;salt\;+\;0.04\%\;CaCl_2)$ and BCO $(15\%\;salt\;+\;0.04\%\;CaCl_2+blanching\;at\;60^{\circ}C\;for\;20\;min)$ for 165 days. Acidity was lower, but pH was higher in BCO than in the control or CAO. During the whole period of storage, greenness(-a) of BCO was maintained in Hunter color system, compared with the other groups. The numbers of total microbes, lactic acid bacteria and yeast were the lowest in BCO, while the highest in control. Moreover, texture profile analysis exhibited that fracturability and hardness maintained the highest in BCO during storage, compared with the other groups. Based on these results, combination of blanching and $CaCl_2$ addition is favorable to extend the shelf life and to maintain the good quality.

The physicochemical and microbial characteristics of Oiji prepared with dry salting method, which has been used industrially for industry, were investigated. Low salting and low storage temperature were employed:extremely low salting extremely low temperature; ESET $(5\%,\;0^{\circ}C)$, very low salting extremely low temperature;VSET $(10\%,\;0^{\circ}C)$, extremely low salting very low temperature; ESVT$(5\%,\;5^{\circ}C)$, low salting very low temperature; VSVT$(10\%,\;5^{\circ}C)$ and high salting low temperature;HSLT$(30\%,\;10^{\circ}C)$ for control. Acidity was lower, and pH was higher in VSET, in of which the fermentation pattern was similar with that of HSLT The time required to reach the optimum acidity ($0.3\%$ lactic acid) was longer delayed for VSET (168 days), than for compared to ESVT (51 days). During storage of Oiji, greenness (-a) as measured with of the Hunter color system wasshowed the highest in VSET, and the lowest while in ESVT, the lowest. Total microbial and lactic acid bacteria counts number were the lowest in HSLT and VSET and were the lowest than in other groups, while the highest in ESVT. Yeast was not detected in HSLT, but was the highest while in VSVT. E coli coliform and listeria were detected in the $5\%$ salting groups, although Salmonella was not detected in any of the all groups. Texture profile analysis demonstrated exhibited that fracturability and hardness were highest in HSLT and VSET, compared to the other groups. Scores of over-all preference for ESVT and HSLT were higher atwith 6.3 and 6.2, respectively, compared to the other products. Based on these results, lower saltiness less than $10\%$ and lower storage temperature (less than $5^{\circ}C$) condition was optimum for maximizing the better for good quality of industrial Oiji preparation in industry.
