Manufacturing method and ingredient ratio for young radish kimchi (yulmoo kimchi) and young radish watery kimchi (yulmoo mool-kimchi) were standardized from literatures. Ingredients having frequency of use greater than 50% were only used in the standardization process. Green onion, red pepper, red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, and anchovy juice were included in young radish kimchi. Green pepper, red pepper, garlic, ginger, and starch were included in young radish watery kimchi. The standardized ingredients ratio of young radish kimchi (yulmoo kimchi) on young radish 100 g was as follows: green onion 8.0$\pm$3.8, crushed garlic 2.9$\pm$1.3, crushed ginger 1.6$\pm$0.7, red pepper 7.0$\pm$1.7, red pepper powder 4.2$\pm$1.2, and anchovy juice 3.7$\pm$0.5. The standardized ingredients ratio of young radish watery kimchi (yulmoo mool-kimchi) on added water 100 mL was as follows: young radish 50.6:$\pm$10.8, crushed garlic 3.0$\pm$0.7, crushed ginger $1.5\pm$0, green onion 3.3$\pm$1.3, green pepper 3.3$\pm$1.9, red pepper 2.4$\pm$1.3, and starch $1.5\pm$0.6.

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.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of various subsidiary ingredients added to Kimchi on the acceptance and sensory characteristics. In appearance acceptance, Kimchi without red pepper powder rated the worst, while samples without salt-fermented anchovy extracts, garlic, ginger, radish, green onion and onion showed no significant difference(p<0.05) compared with the control, and were all rated highly in acceptance. In flavor, taste and overall acceptance, the sample without garlic rated the worst, indicating that garlic has the greatest effect on the acceptance of Kimchi. Red pepper powder had an effect only on the pungency of Kimchi's flavor characteristics. Salt-fermented anchovy extracts enhanced umami taste, sweetness and saltiness of Kimchi. Garlic also enhanced the general flavor such as sourness, umami taste, sweetness, carbonated flavor and fresh flavor, but inhibited the moldy flavor. Ginger had effects on pungency, fresh flavor of Kimchi, while radish, green onion and onion only had an effect on the fresh flavor of Kimchi. Garlic had significant effects on the moldy flavor and bitterness of Kimchi's sensory characteristics, and the amount of garlic added to Kimchi influenced the sourness, sweetness and fresh flavor, irrespective of the kinds of Kimchi and fermentation temperature.

Effects of various sub-ingredients (hot pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, leek, salted and fermented anchovy juice, and sugar) on the sensory quality of Korean cabbage kimchi were investigated. Sixteen sensory attributes were selected and their intensities evaluated by 20 panelists. The kimchi had an unbarmonized taste and unpleasant flavor when fermented with individual sub-ingredients, but had a well harmonized taste when fermented with all sub-ingredients. Hot pepper, ginger and garlic contributed to reduction of the unpleasatnt taste and moldy odor. The strong garlic flavor was reduced by adding green onion and leek. Salted and fermented anchovy juice gave a palatable taste, and the overall taste was improved by adding sugar. All sub-ingredients except sugar reduced the sour tasts.

When ingredients of Kimchi were mixed and stored in $18^{\circ}C$, lactic acid bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum, were selectively grown up. Herefore, to understand why lactic acid bacteria were selectively cultured in Kimchi, antibacterial activities of Kimchi ingredients against some pathogens and Kinlchi lactic acid bacteria were investigated. Kimchi mixed with all ingredients significantly inhibited the growth of all tested pathogens: S. typhimurium, S. sonnei, and E. coli. Kimchi without green onion, garlic or ginger inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium, but did not E. coli and S. sonnei. However, Kimchi without red pepper powder did not inhibit the growth of all tested pathogens. All ingredients of Kimchi did not inhibit the growth of L. plantarum and L. mesenteroides. These results suggest that Kimchi ingredients can synergistically inhibit the growth of pathogens and Kimchi may be a selective medium for lactic acid bacteria.
