Andong Sickhae is a traditional Korean fermented rice product which is made from glutionous rice, male, radish, ginger and red pepper. The changes in chemical composition, pH, amino nitrogen, amino acid, enzyme activity and free sugar of a traditional Andong Sickhae were monitored during the fermentation and storage at $4^{\circ}C$. The changes in ash, crude fat and moisture the contents during Andong Sickhae fermentation and storage were negligible. The pH of the product tended to decrease in the course of fermentation and storage and it showed the minimum value of 3.90 after 20th day of storage. On the other hand the maltose continued to increase up from 6.35g to 9.85g/100ml by 15th day of storage. The content of amino nitrogen in Andong Sickhae gradualy increase up to 22.40mg% by 3th day of fermentation. Glutamic aicd and aspartic acid were the major amino acid in water and salt soluble protein in Andong Sickhae.

The fermentation process of Andong Sickhae including optimal composition of the product was investigated. Through sensory evaluation and ingredient analysis of ten samples prepared in the laboratory and the samples collected from Andong region, we found that the ratio of ingredient of the product by weigh are as follow : [glutinous rice(80) : malt(50) : radish(100) : water(500) : ginger(8) : red pepper(4)]. The level of nitrogen compound turned out to be low while that of soluble protein and salt soluble protein was high. The content of total sugar and reducing sugar was found to be considerable high and among the free sugar, maltose was the highest(80%), followed by glucose and maltotriose. Activities of acid protease and saccharogenic amylase were 1.55 unit per milliliter and $12.5D^{40}_{30}^{\circ}$ respectively. Results of sensory evaluation showed that the good Andong Sickhae turned out to have well harmonized taste of flavor, sweetness and sourness while the color looked slightly red.

The housewives living in the rural area of Chunnam, Yosu were asked by using the questionaires about Korean traditional food habits. The results are obtained as follows: 43. l％ of the respondents were 50 to 59 years old, 38.1％ of them had primary school education and 57.5％ of them lived with husbands and children. 40.6% of them had 3∼4 family members. 30% of them earned 5 to 8 million won yearly; 99% of them liked boiled rice, especially plain boiled rice (63.1%) and mixed boiled rice (36.9%). The most liked food was Doenjangkuk (59.4%), Doenjangchigae (61.9%), Kimgui (30.1％), Pugochim (15.6％), Hobakchon (26.2%), Kongiaban (25.6%), Kongnamul (50.6%), Raw fish (23.7%); and They enjoyed Shirudock (16.9%) and Sickhae (60.6%) as dessert.

The effect of stabilizers on the sedimentation, sensory evaluation and viscosity were investigated during the fermentation of traditional Andong sikhae and storage of the product at $4^{\circ}C$ and morphological characteristics were reviewed by scanning electromicrograph. The number of acid producing bacteria was increased for the first 3 days and then slightly decreased. Among the commercial stabilizers 0.3% of Carrageenan was the most effective for proventing sedimentation of sikhae. The interaction effects between the amount of food stabilizer added and treatment groups on taste turned out to be statistically significant.
