To investigate the effect of boiled-dried fusiforme for making kimchi, it was added as 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5% to brined Chinese cabbage by weight, respectively. Quality characteristics such as pH, titratable acidity, reducing sugar content, microbial loads were measured. Titratable acidity of 0.1% treatment showed a retarded increase compared to other samples, and maintained a higher reducing sugar content. Lactic acid bacteria numbers of boiled-dried fusiforme added kimchi were lower approximately by 2 log$_{10}$ CFU/mL after 10 day, which value was almost same as the control group. A 0.1% treatment of boiled-dried fusiforme showed no significant differences compared to the control in sensory evaluation.
