Physicochemical and sensory properties of Mul-Kimchi(warery Kimchi) prepared with red cabbage was compared with those of Chinese cabbage or white cabbage. Acidity and turbidity of red cabbage Mul-Kimchi were somewhat higher than those of Chinese cabbage one, which was due to higher soluble solid content in red cabbage Mul-Kimchi. Hunter color a value of red cabbage Mul-kimchi was very much higher than that of Chinese or white cabbage, which was consistent with the data of anthocyanin content. Free radical scavenging activity was much higher in red cabbage Mul-kimchi than in Chinese or white cabbage one. Red cabbage Mul-kimchi had higher values of hardness, fracturability and chewiness during fementation, compared with those of Chinese or white cabbage one. Sensory results showed that there was no difference in overall acceptability among three kinds of Mul-kimchi, although red cabbage one has higher scores of appearance and color than others. Best to the results of this study, it is suggested that red cabbage is a good ingredient for Mul-kimchi.

The present study was performed to investigate antioxidant and anti-colon cancer activities of red cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata f. rubra DC) according to the cooking conditions (raw, microwave, blanching and steaming). The contents of red cabbage extracts were determined as follow: total phenolic contents, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azino-bis-(3-ethy lbenzo-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), 3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, western blot analysis. The total contents of polyphenol and flavonoid of red cabbage were 20.27 mg GAE/g Dry weight ${\pm}0.03$ and $2.55{\pm}0.02mg$ RE/g Dry weight. In this study, the total contents of polyphenol were decreased to both microwave and steam cooking. Total antioxidant activity and growth inhibition of HCT116 human colon cancer cells were in the order of raw > microwaving > steaming cooking methods. These results indicate that red cabbage extracts might have antioxidant and anti-proliferative activity according to the cooking conditions.

This study compared and analyzed the consumption and amount of red pepper used in Baechu Kimchi (cabbage Kimchi) especially the amounts used in Kimchi recipes with respect to the passage of time from the 1930s to the 2010s. In this analysis, 78 recipes for cabbage Kimchi were taken from books, daily newspapers and magazines from 1930 to 2014 and collected for comparison. The result of the study showed that the consumption and inclusion of dried red pepper powder in cabbage Kimchi increased. The average consumption of red pepper in the 1930s was 5.75 g, and the number went up to 8.83 g in the 1940s, to 13.8 g in the 1950s, and to 20.25 g in the 1960s. The amount dramatically increased from 1970 to 1980 (53.37 g) and kept rising until 2010 (71.26 g). The average consumption of red pepper in cabbage Kimchi in the 2010s is about 12 times that of the 1930s.

Red Chinese cabbage is rich in anthocyanins, with beneficial effects on anti-obesity and lipid profiles. The purpose of this study was to examine the anti-obesity effects of red Chinese cabbage. Four-weeks old Spague-Dawley male rats were divided into four groups for six weeks as follow: Normal Diet (ND), High Fat Diet (HFD), HFD + Red Chinese Cabbage Diet (RCD), HFD + Red Chinese Cabbage Juice (RCJD). After six weeks, the liver weight was significantly higher in the HFD group than in the other groups, and the RCD and RCJD groups showed similar values to the ND group. The epididymal fats were significantly higher in all high fat diets (HFD, RCD, RCJD) than in the ND group and there was statistical significance in the post-tests when comparing the RCD and RCJD groups with the HFD group. Triglycerides significantly decreased in the RCD group. In conclusion, red Chinese cabbage is rich in anthocyanins, with beneficial effects on organ weight and lipid profiles.

This study was carried out to investigate antioxidative and antimicrobial activities of ethanol extracted garlic stem and red cabbage, and their application to pork patties during refrigerated storage. Total phenolic compounds of ethanol extracted garlic stem and red cabbage were 3.13 g/100 g and 3.99 g/100 g, respectively. 1,1'-diphenyl-2-picryhdrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity of garlic stem extracts increased up to 0.05%. Iron chelating activities of both garlic stem and red cabbage increased up to 0.5%, and red cabbage up to the concentration of 1% had similar iron chelating activity to those of EDTA. Pork patties containing garlic stem had higher Hunter L and b values, (p<0.05), whereas those with red cabbage had highest Hunter a values, resulting in similar value to those of control (p>0.05). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of pork patties with garlic stem were lower than those of the control (p<0.05). In addition, antioxidantive activities of pork patties with red cabbage were higher than those with garlic stem. No differences in microbial contents were observed between the control and treatments. In conclusion, garlic stem and red cabbage extracts might be used as natural antioxidants to be used in the manufacture of functional meat products.

To investigate the availability of nitrogen decomposed and released from liquid pig manure (LPM), this experiment was performed with red pepper (Capsicum annuum L., cv. Hanbando), and Chinese cabbage (Brassioa campestris L., cv. Konaenggiyeureumbaechoo) in 2001. Based on the total nitrogen of chemical fertilizer, both red pepper and chinese cabbage were treated with three and four applications of LPM, respectively. Yield of red fruits in the red pepper was increased by an enhancement of LPM application. However, that of chinese cabbage was enhanced with a reducing supply of LPM. Biosynthesis of polyamine in both crops such as red pepper and chinese cabbage was large in the early growth stage and was not increased by LPM application. The high biosynthesis of bound polyamine, monoamine and diamine, in the early growth stage was changed in an increase of conjugated polyamine and polyamine with a process of crop growth. Inorganic components in the leaf of red pepper by LPM application were equal or slightly lower than in chemical fertilizer, however, from the middle growth stage, contents of phosphate and potassium were increased. Those of chinese cabbage were slightly decreased from the early growth stage to the late. Considering this experiment, the thoughtless supply of LPM has not resulted in certain crop damages, and an application of LPM to increase a yield was different from crop species at some extent.

This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and antioxidnat effects of red cabbage extracts on RAW264.7 cells. Cell toxicity was determined by MTT assay. We evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of red cabbage extracts by measuring nitric oxide (NO), inducible NOS (iNOS) production, and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression by Western blotting. Ethanolic and water extracts (0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/mL) significantly suppressed LPS-stimulated production of NO. Two kinds of extracts reduced the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins. The present results show that red cabbage extract has potent anti-inflammatory effects on RAW264.7 cells. In addition, two kinds of extracts as well as various antioxidant activities such as 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzo thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)(ABTS) radical scavenging activity, ferric reducing antioxidant power(FRAP). The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of the ethanolic and water extracts from red cabbage were $18.699{\pm}0.87$ and $11.174{\pm}4.86$ mg GAE/g extract, respectively, and $7.782{\pm}2.23$ and $15.608{\pm}3.54$ mg CE/g extract. The ABTS radical scavenging activities of the ethanolic and water extracts and BHT were $0.269{\pm}0.12$, $0.212{\pm}0.22$ and $1.235{\pm}0.07mM$ Trolox equivalent/mg extract, respectively. The FRAP values of the extracts were similar to those of BHT, which were used as a positive control. Therefore, red cabbage extract is considered as a good food material of functional foods for prevention against various diseases.

To estimate the shelf life of red cabbage sprouts (stored at 4 and $10^{\circ}C$), the numbers of total aerobic bacteria were determined during storage. Parameters for the Gompertz model were determined and the shelf life was predicted using a modified Gompertz equation. The estimated shelf lives of red cabbage sprouts packed with polyolefin film and polyamide/polyamide/polyethylene (PA/PA/PE) film at $4^{\circ}C$ were 49.4 and 52.3 h, respectively, whereas those of red cabbage sprouts packed with polyolefin film and PA/PA/PE film at $10^{\circ}C$ were 19.7 and 22.6, respectively. The shelf life prediction equation was appropriate, based on the statistical analysis of the accuracy factor, bias factor, and mean square error. On the other hand, for red cabbage sprouts treated with aqueous $ClO_2$/fumaric acid and UV-C then packed with polyolefin film or PA/PA/PE film, the shelf life was predicted to be longer than 168 h. These results suggest that the combined treatment of aqueous $ClO_2$/fumaric acid and UV-C can be useful for improving microbial safety and extending the shelf life of red cabbage sprouts during storage.

Allelopathic chemicals exudated from plants stimulate or inhibit crops directly or indirectly. To prove the effects of allelochemics, we isolated and identified the compounds by bioassays on the monoculture and crosscropping cultre systems. p-Coumaric acid were exudated on all of the test crops such as tomato, red pepper, lettuce, chinese cabbage and sesame, but pyrogallol and phenylacetic acid on tomato. hydroquinone on red pepper and egg plant, pyrogallol on lettuce, and vanillic acid on chinese cabbage. The highest total concentration of allelochemics was $5,883{\mu}g$ on tomato, lowest was $220{\mu}g/g$ dry plant weight on sesame. On the cross-cropping culture of tomato-egg plant, tomato-red pepper, chinese cabbage-egg plant, chinese cabbage-red pepper and chinese cabbage-sasame, the plant height, aerial dry weight and total dry weight of the tomato and the chinese cabbage were inereased contrast with monoculture, but decreased greatly on red pepper and sesame. Growth rate of both crops on the cross-cropping culture of tomato-chinese cabbage declined, while that of chinese cabbage was increased but lettuce decreased on the chinese cabbage-lettuce cross-cropping culture contrast with monoculture.

This study was designed to investigate foreigner preferences for the sensory characteristics of kimchi with different fermentation periods. After fermentation in a 5 freezer for 1, 7, and 15 days, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi, Chonggak Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi were served to the respondents. The respondents had resided in Seoul and Kyunggi province for 3 years or less, and were from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Most respondents (62.9%) consumed a Korean meal daily, and 45% of all respondents reported eating kimchi 3 or 4 times a week. As a result, it can be said that foreigners residing in Korea preferred to eat kimchi as a side dish. Based on the respondents answers, we were able to determine the relative popularity of the different types of kimchi. They were, from most popular to least popular, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Chonggak Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi. Among those fermented for 1 day, Cucumber Kimchi was most preferred for its. When evaluating the overall preference of Kimchi, the best was in the order of Chinese cabbage (red)>Kkakdugi>Cucumber>Chinese cabbage (white)>Chonggak>Green onion>Mustard Kimchi. For 1 day in a fermented period, Cucumber Kimchi had the most preferred taste (5.76), appearance (5.66), odor (5.89), and texture (5.70). However, Cucumber Kimchi was least popular after 15 days of fermentation (p<0.01). The most preferred Kimchi after 15 days of fermentation was Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Among the kimchi fermented for 7 days, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi was most preferred. While foreigners indicated that they were satisfied with all the types of kimchi fermented for 1 day and 15 days, they were not satisfied with any of the kimchi fermented for 7 days, save for the White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Kkakdugi Kimchi had very high satisfaction scores for appearance, but low scores in taste. On the other hand, Chinese Cabbage Kimchi had low scores in odor (5.02-5.29), but high in texture (5.37-5.62) and taste (4.80-5.30), which are not factors sensitive to a change in acidity. These results showed that foreigners were generally satisfied with Kimchi, but became less satisfied as the Kimchi ripened. Most foreigners were not satisfied with the types of Kimchi that had a strong flavor. Chinese Cabbage Kimchi became the least sour after fermentation, and Cucumber Kimchi became most sour after fermentation.
