This study investigated the spicy hot flavor related quality characteristics of cucumber salad prepared using spicy hot flavor graded gochujang that had been stored for 60 and 120 days. The results showed that the pH of both the 60-day and 120-day fermented gochujang was significantly higher in the cap-200 sample (p<0.001). In contrast to the results on pH, the acidity of both the 60-day and 120-day fermented gochujang was found significantly lower in the cap-200 sample (p<0.001). Measurements of salinity were found to be significantly lower in the sample with higher capsaicin content than in the sample with lower capsaicin content. The sugar content was found to be generally higher in the sample with the 120-day fermented gochujang than that with the 60-day fermented gochujang. Lightness (L) was higher in the sample with a lower capsaicin content than in the sample with a higher capsaicin content. The redness (a) was found to be significantly higher in the cap-200 sample than in other samples (p<0.001). The values of the L, a, and b tended to be lower in the sample with the 60-day fermented gochujang than in the sample with the 120-day fermented gochujang. The hardness of the cucumber salad was found to be lowest in the 120-day fermented sample with the cap-200 gochujang, which had the highest capsaicin content (p<0.05). The results of the sensory evaluation of the cucumber salads showed that the spiciness was stronger with the higher capsaicin content (p<0.001), and approximately one-level higher than the spiciness rating of hot pepper. The results of a key ingredient analysis showed that the sample with high capsaicin content was classified as having a relatively hot spicy aroma and flavor, and strong stinging pain, and the sample with the low capsaicin content was classified as having a salty aroma and a dark appearance.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of preheating and salt concentration on the fermentation rate and firmness of cucumber kimchi, and the relationship between firmness and the contents of pectin fractions, hemicellulose and cellulose during fermentation. For this purpose, pH, acidity, firmness and the contents of pectic fractions, hemicellulose and cellulose were studied. 1. The changes of pH and titratable acidity indicated that preheating and high salt concentration delayed the fermentation rate in cucumber kimchi. 2. After 9 days, preheated cucumber kimchi was firmer than nonpreheated cucumber kimchi. 3. During fermentation, the cucumber kimchi fermented at 5% NaCl was firmer than that femented at 2% NaCl. 4. After 9 days, preheated cucumber kimchi was higher in insoluble pectin (HCISP)content and lower in soluble pectin (HWSP & HXSP) content than nonpreheated cucumberkimchi and hese results in accord with those of firmness measurements. 5. During fermentation, the cucumber kimchi fermented at 5% NaCl was higher in insoluble pectin content and lower in soluble pectin content than nonpreheated cucumber kimchi, and these results were in accord with those of firmness measurement. 6. During fermentation, cellulose content decreased.

In this paper, soilless cucumber cultivation was investigated, fermented fertilizer to increase the cucumber yield was considered, and the greenhouse temperature control system for cucumber cultivation is developed. To do this, perlite was proposed to replace soil as growth medium. Fermented cows and pigs manure was proposed as plant fertilizer. Combination of fan, water sprinkler, and pipe heating system was proposed to control the greenhouse temperature. However, because this research was conducted during the summer, the greenhouse system observed in this study only focused on variations in the flow rate of the water sprinkles used. The experimental result shows that soilless culture in the greenhouse could be an alternative to traditional field production for high-value vegetable crops. Furthermore, application of fermented fertilizer of 10% could enhance the growth and increase the yield and quality of crops. The proposed sprinkler flow rate is best suited for cucumber crop with the best thrives was 0.846 kg/s.

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.

The effects of kind of vegetables and of the kind and amounts of fermented fish sauce on the formation of nitrosamine (NA) during kimchi fermentation were investigated. Kimchies made of Chinese cabbage, cucumber, and radish with fermented shrimp, anchovy and liquid sauces were fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 6 weeks and the changes in the content of nitrate, nitrite, trimethylamine (TMA), dimethylamine (DMA) and NA were studied. Nitrate content in kimchies made of Chinese cabbage, cucumber, and radish increased at the initial period of fermentation, but it decreased at the later period. Nitrite was not detected at the later period of kimchi fermentation. Overall, there have not been great changes in the contents of nitrite and nitrate. However, there have been considrable changes in the contents of TMA and DMA as fermentation progressed. Only nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) at the level of 0.5~10.3 $\mu\textrm{g}$/kg was formed in three kinds of kimchies. More NDMA was formed in radish and cucumber kimchies than in Chinese cabbage kimchi. The pH was lowered faster in radish and cucumber kimchies than in Chinese cabbage kimchi. More NDMA was formed in Chinese cabbage kimchi made with fermented shrimp sauce than those with anchovy or liquid sauces. Shrimp sauce contained higher amount of DAM than anchovy and liquid sauces. The contents of NDMA tended to increase as the amount of shrimp sauce increased. The kind and amount of fermented fish sauce used for kimchi preparation may be an important factor affecting the formation of NDMA.

The cucumber pickles(pieces types), soaked at 10, 15, and 20% brine concentrations, were fermented for 7 days at 25oC. The pH of sample in 10% brine was lowered faster than that of others. To reach pH 3.7, it took 4 days(10%) , 6 days(15%) and 7 days(20%), respectively. The salt permeated into cucumber rapidly, and it took only 1 day to reach maximum content, thereafter salt contents were maintained constant. The titratable acidity and turbidity of cucumber pickle liquids were increased with fermentation time. Sensory evaluation showed that taste and smell of fresh cucumber, color and texture were decreased, while yeast moldy smell and acidic taste were increased as fermentation proceeded. Higher scores were obtained in acidic taste and smell, yeast moldy taste and smell in case of fermented sample in 10% brine for 4 days. It was concluded that the quality of cucumber pickle was influenced by the salt concentrations of brine.

In research. which Korean pickled cucumber was treated wish various methods, including blanching. brining in hot solution, and treating with trehalose. I examined the changes of properties of material. The Korean pickled cucumber were fermented 4∼5$^{\circ}C$ for 42 days in 1% salt solution. The physiochemical properties were pH, total acidity, total cell count, lactic acid bacteria and texture properties were also evaluated. The result showed that the effect of blanching and soaking cucumber in 100$^{\circ}C$ hot salt solution significantly reduced the softening rate of texture while a rather rapid fermentation was found for those preserved with salt. The effect of trehalose treatment inhenced fermentation but it was significantly reduced softening rate of texture. The texture evaluation of Korean pickled cucumber was found that heat treatment with blanching after soaked in hot solution and trehalose treatment had a positive effect for reduction of softening of cucumber tissue.

Film-forming yeasts generate an undesirable yeasty flavor in fermented vegetables such as kimchi in the presence of oxygen. Antimicrobial materials including garlic oil (GO), heated garlic (HG), and allyl alcohol (AA) were investigated for use as alternative natural food preservatives to inhibit the growth of film-forming yeasts in fermented vegetables. Using the fermentation of cucumber pickles as a model system, GO, HG, and AA were effective in preventing film formation at concentrations of 0.006, 3.0, and 0.02%, respectively. The effectiveness of HG in preventing the growth of a film yeast, Hansenula anomala, was not influenced by pH, while that of potassium sorbate, a typical anti-yeast food preservative, was highly dependent on pH. All tested materials were effective when added at the beginning of fermentation due to their negligible inhibitory activity toward lactic acid bacteria.

본 연구에서는 7% 소금 용액을 이용하여 예비 열처리($60^{\circ}C$, 1시간), pH8.5로의 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave를 이용한 후열처리가 오이지 침지 용액의 pH, 산도, AIS내의 총 펙틴 함량, HWSP 함량, 견고도에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴보았다. 제조 0, 5, 10, 15, 25일째의 분석을 통해 pH는 감소, 산도는 높아지는 경향을 보였으며 최종 분석일의 pH는 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군이 가장 높은 3.1, 산도는 1.93%로 가장 낮은 수치를 보였다. AIS에 존재하는 총 펙틴 함량은 시간이 지남에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였으며 대조군에 비해 처리군들의 감소율은 적었으며 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군의 최종 함량은 가장 높은 17.93%로 나타났다. HWSP의 함량은 제조 후 5일째부터 15일째까지는 증가하다가 그 이후에는 급격히 감소했다. Texturometer에 의한 견고도 측정결과 제조 후 15일째부터는 실험군들간에 차이가 많이 나기 시작했으며 최종 견고도는 대조군이 가장 낮은 4.77kg, 예비 열처리, 염화칼슘 첨가 및 microwave 후열처리군이 가장 높은 6.88kg로 나타났다. 연구결과로 보아 총 펙틴 함량과 견고도와는 서로 연관이 깊은 것으로 보이며 microwave 후열처리는 펙틴물질의 분해를 저지시켜 견고도가 감소되는 정도를 낮게 해 줄 수 있는 방법이 될 수 있다고 생각한다.
