The purpose of this study is to establish a rapid preparation method of Dongchimi-juice having favor-able flavor and high antibacterial activity against undesirable bacteria in Naengmyon-broth by using high antibacterial strains of lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and leuconostoc mesenteroid-es subsp. mesenteroides C16 as Dongchimi starter. When the two strains of lactic acid bacteria were used as starter mixed culture was better than single culture in acid production and antibacterial activity. When starter was not inoculated in Dongchimi fermentation the numbers of Gram negatives and colifor-ms were remarkably increased in early phase and antibacterial activity could scarcely be detected. But when starter was inoculated the numbers of Gram negatives and coliforms were sharply decreased from early phase and antibacterial ctivity was high. When Dongchimi was made with heat sterilized mat-erials and starter there were no Gram negatives and coliforms and antibacterial activity was high. The antibacterial activity of starter inoculated Dongchimi was maximum in 2 days of fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and was scarcely detected in six days. In consideration of coliform counts antibacterial activity and the flavor of Dongchimi the preparation method in which all materials were heat treated at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 min-utes and inoculated with mixed starter of the two strains and fermented for 2 days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ was thoug-ht to be good.

An optional ingredient, jasoja(Perillae semen), was adopted to improve the quality of Dongchimi. The final weight percentage of jasoja in Dongchimi was adjusted to 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0%, per radish, and sensory and microbiological characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10 for 45 days. The effect was varied depending on the amounts of jasoja, but Dongchimi fermented with 0.5% jasoja was most favored for color, flavor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability in sensory evaluation. According to a quantitative descriptive analysis for the product, the liquid portion of Dongchimi steadily became clearer and less sour in proportion to the amount of added jasoja. However, a strong off-taste was detected from 1.0% treatment. The viable cell numbers of total and lactic acid bacteria drastically increased during the first 2 days, and then gradually increased to their maximum values during fermentation and slowly decreased at the later stage. Dongchimi with 0.5% treatment showed a distinctive high number of microorganisms at the 15th-day of fermentation and this trend was maintained until the completion of fermentation. The lactic acid bacteria isolated and identified from Dongchimi were; Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus faecalis, and Lactococcus lactis. The combined number of Lactobacillus brevis and Lactobacillus plantarum began to increase right after preparation to as much as 10$\^$7/CFU/㎖, then decreased to 10-10$^3$CFU/㎖ afterward. This study showed that the addition of jasoja retarded the initial fermentation of Dongchimi; however, too much jasoja at above 1% weight level per Chinese radish might accelerate fermentation at the later fermentation stage and shoud be avoided. A comparable fermentation pattern was observed among the samples; however, more acceptable Dongchimi could be prepared by fermenting for 11 to 30 days at 0.5% jasoja concentration per radish.

No glucide-added Dongchimi, and 1% starch-added Dongchimi, and 1% sucrose-added one, each using 30% mashed radish as ingredients, were fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. HPLC and TLC analyses showed that the no starch-added Dongchimi had glucose. fructose and sucrose. The starch-added Dongchimi produced maltose, maltotriose and maltotetraose by the hydrolysis reaction of amalyse. The sucrose added Dongchimi showed glucose. fructose and sucrose. And the sugar contents were reduced in the process of fermentation. The sugar-added Dongchimi showed 53 ${\mu}$g/ml of reducing sugar, 0.012 unit/ml of amylase activity, 3.84 of pH. 1.8 of acidity, after 30 days\` fermentation. One percent starch-added Dongchimi showed 173 ${\mu}$g/ml of reducing sugar, 0.019unit/m1 of amylase activity, 3.87 of pH, 2.1 of acidity, One percent sucrose-added Dongchimi showed 211 ${\mu}$g/ml of reducing sugar, 0.015 unit/ml of amylase activity, 3.36 of pH, 2.4 of acidity.

This study was examined in the chemical and sensory characteristics of Korean Turnip Dongchimi when innoculated with Leuconostoc citreum IH22 and Korean turnip Dongchimi. Both of Dongchimi were at room temperature for first day and at 4$\^{C}$ from 2nd to 28th day. The pH was somewhat lower in Korean tulip Dongchimi innoculated with Lecconostoc citreum IH22 than non-treated Dongchimi. As fermentation proceeded titratable acidity of both Korean turnip Dongchimi significantly increased but Korean turnip Dongchimi innoculated with Leuconostoc citreum IH22 was not changed from 21 th day to B8th day. The patterns of microfloral changes of both Dongchimi were similar during fermentation and the changes were increased in the number from the beginning, but they were rapidly decreased after the optimum ripening period. The hardness and fractureability of non-treated Dongchimi decreased rapidly after 14day of fermentation followed by a little increased until 28th day also Korean tulip Dongchimi innoculated with Leuconostoc citreum IH22 decreased gradually as the fermentation progressed. The evaluation of sensory qua] its of both of Dongchimi showed that the sour taste and fresh taste were similar but carbonated flavor and overall acceptability were higher than those of Korean turnip innoculated with Leuconostoc citreum IH22.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

In order to screen lactic acid bacterial starter having high antibacterial activity and giving good flavor in Dongchmi for Naengmyon antibacterial activity and acid producing ability of 24 strains of Kimchi lactic acid bacteria were tested. Among 24 strains tested Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16, Leu. paramesenteroides C18 Lactobacillus bavaricus B01, B06, C19, C32 Lac. homohiochii B21 and B22 showed high antibacterial activity and their antibacterial activities were more active against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The odors of Dongchimi-juices fermented with Leu. mesenteroides or Leu. paramesenteroides were more favorable than those with Lac. bavaricus or Lac. homohiochii. But the odors of Naengmyon-broths which were made with each Dongchimi-juice were not significantly different each other. In consideration of antibacterial ac-tivity and flavor of Dongchimi-juice two strains of lactic acid bacteria Lac. homohiochii B21 and Leu. mes-enteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16 were finally screened out as Dongchimi starters.

Effect of licorice root(Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Fischer) on the Dongchimi(watery radish kimchi) fermentation was investigated by measuring physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties during fermentation up to 41 days. Dongchimi with the various levels(0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5%) of licorice root was fermented at two temperatures : Group A was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ and group B was fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ after keeping at room temperature($16{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$) for 24 hours. During the fermentatiion, pH was slowly lowered in all Dongchimi samples and pH of Dongchimi added licorice root was a little higher than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. Total acidity of group A was slightly larger than that of group B and Dongchimi added licorice root showed small content than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. Reducing sugar content was reached maximum value in 13 days of fermentation in Dongchimi added licorice root of group A and B, group A decreased remarkably in 32 days of fermentation in all samples and group B was maintained in the rest sample except for Dongchimi without licorice root and Dongchimi added 1.5% licorice root. Total vitamin C of Dongchimi added licorice root was slightly higher than that of Dongchimi without licorice root of two groups. Lightness lowered gradually with the fermentation and Dongchimi without licorice root decreased a little than that of Dongchimi added licorice root. The number of lactic acid bacteria in Dongchimi added licorice root was more numerous than that of Dongchimi without licorice root. As a result of the sensory evaluation, group B showed higher scores than group A and Dongchimi added 0.5% licorice root was the most preferable one.

Juice of Dongchime a Korean traditional vegetable food fermented with lactic acid bacteria has been traditionary used as broth for Naengmyon a Korean cold noodles with broth. This study was carried out to demonstrate the growth inhibition of two food born pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Naengmyon-broth containing Dongchimi-juice fermented with high antibacterial lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides C16. Naengmyon-broth were made with beef broth and Dongchimi-juice fermented with lactic acid bacteria and the changes in viable cell counts of the inoculated pathogens in Naengmyon-broths were investigated during storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 1$0^{\circ}C$. In Naengmyon-broth of 100% Dongchimi-juice stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ the numbers of Listeria monocyto-genes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were rapidly decreased from 106CFU/ml to 106CFU/ml in 8 hours and 40 hours respectively. In Naengmyon-broth containing 50% Dongchimi-juice their numbers were also rapidly decreased though the decreasing rates were not so fast as those in 1005 Dongchimi-juice. In Naengmyon-broth containing 10% Dongchimi-juice the growths of the two pathogens were markedly inhibited compared with those in 100% beef broth though some growths were occurred in early phase. But in Naengmyon-broth of 100% beef broth their growths were very fast from early. Antibacterial ac-tivity of the Dongchimi-juice was more distinct at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and was more active against Listeria monocytogenes than against Escherichia coli 157:H7.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of vitamin C and lactic acid bacteria count in Dongchimi used different kinds of water (distilled water, purified water, Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water). Dongchimi used different kinds of water was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 46 days. The changes of pH on Dongchimi used different kinds of water decreased in all samples during fermentation period, and then showed a slow decrease after 12 days of fermentation. The total acidity of Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water arrived slowly at best tasting condition(0.3~0.4 point) compared with other conditions. The changes of salt content were ranked high one by one , Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water>purified water>distilled water during fermentation period. At early stage of fermentation, the changes of turbidity of Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water showed highly as compared with other test conditions for 12 days of fermentation. Vitamin C content was measured high in Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water during the fermentation period. Because calcium content was high in carbonated natural water, carbonated natural water had the highest calcium content during the fermentation period. The changes of lactic acid bacteria count showed the highest price at all experimental groups in 15 days of fermentation, but those of Dongchimi used Cho Jung Carbonated Natural water showed the highest price in 19 days of fermentation.

This study examined the chemical and sensory characteristics of Altari Dongchimi with inoculation of Leuconostoc citreum IH22. Dongchimi was stored at room temperature for the first day and at 4$^{\circ}C$ from 2nd to 28th day. The pH was somewhat lower in Altari Dongchimi when first inoculated with Leuconostoc citreum IH22 than non -treated Dongchimi. As fermentation proceeded, titratable acidity of Altari Dongchimi significantly increased. The patterns of microflcral changes in both the inoculated and the control were similar during fermentation: the total number of bacteria increased at the beginning, but rapidly decreased right after the optimum ripening point. The hardness and fracturability of both Dongchimi's decreased gradually during fermentation. The evaluation of the sensory qualities showed that the sour taste and fresh taste resulted in similar scores in both Dongchimi's but overall acceptability of the control was higher than that of inoculated one with Leuconostoc citreum IH22.
