This study was performed to investigate the effects of dried powders of pine needle, pine pollen, green tea and horseradish on preservation of Kimchi-yangnyum. The physicochemical and microbial changes of Kimchi-yangnyum were investigated during 30-days preservation. The changes of pH, total acid, and number of total viable cell, lactic acid bacteria, E. coli of the Kimchi-yangnyum were insignificant. And the addition of pine needle powder were more effective to suppress fermentation than that of pine pollen or green tea or horseradish.

In this study, we investigated the nutritional composition including proximate, amino acid, vitamin, minerals, and the antioxidant activity of green tea (Camellia sinensis) pollen grains collected by Apis mellifera bees, for use as a health food. The crude protein and fat content was estimated at 26.14% and 3.49%, respectively. Eighteen amino acids were identified in green tea pollen, including 8 essential amino acids and 10 non-essential amino acids. The predominant amino acids were glutamic acid, proline and aspartic acid accounting for about 33.3% of total free amino acids. The concentration of vitamin C was the highest value of 35.7%, followed by $B_3$ and $B_2$ among the detected vitamins. The predominant minerals were potassium (790.32 mg/100g), followed by phosphorus (707.52 mg/100g) and sulfur (302.67 mg/100g), whereas copper, zinc and sodium were detected as minor elements. The antioxidant activity and phenolic content accounted for 33.8% at $500{\mu}g/mL$ extract and $2.55 {\mu}g/mg$, respectively.
