The Mixed effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Glycyrrhiza uralensis(SG) on kimchi fermentation was investigated by measuring changes of physicochemical, icrobiological and sensory qualities of kimchi during fermentation. The pH of SG-added kimchi was a little higher than that of control during the fermentation. Titratable acidity, viable cell of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in mixed medicinal herbs(SG) added kimchi were changed more slowly than those in control. The inhibitory effect of the mixture on kimchi fermentation was increased as the concentration of the mixture was increased from 1% to 5%. Total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of 3% and 5% SG-added kimchi reduced to 1.3~2.9 and 1.2~4.0 log10 cycle after 15 days fermentatin compared to control. The changes in texture of SG-added kimchi was a higher and sour taste of SG-containing kimchi excepts of 1% SG-added kimchi was more weak than that of control. Sensory score of flavor and overall acceptability did not show any significant difference between SG-added kimchi and control during fermentation. But SG-added kimchi decreased its sensory quality by 5% the other kimch.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of beef bone extracts on the organoleptic quality and fermentation of Baeck Kimchi. For this study, the organoleptic characteristics of Baeck Kimchi, with addition beef bone extracts were tested, and the changes in the fermentation factors, such as pH, acidity, reducing sugar and total microbial count, were observed during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ and 20$^{\circ}C$. Greater amounts of lipids and soluble nitrogen were extracted to increasing the boiling time for the preparation of the beef bone extracts. However, 1% of the mixed beef bone extracts, prepared by boiling for 5, 7 and 9 hours, was the most acceptable for the Baeck Kimchi fermentation, as assessed from the results of sensory consumer tests. The beef bone extracts enhanced the umami taste of the unfermented Baeck Kimchi. The carbonated taste, sourness and fresh flavor of the fermented Baeck Kimchi were also enhanced. The fermentation rate was increased by the addition of beef bone extracts to Baeck Kimchi.

This study was undertaken to investigate the changes of index microorganisms and lactic acid bacteria of traditional Korean fermented vegetables (kimchi) during the ripening and fermentation period. A type of kimchi, baechoo-kimchi, was prepared and stored at $10^{\circ}C$ for 8 days. The numbers of the total aerobic bacteria, psychrotrophilic bacteria, coliform bacteria, and Escherichia coli in the kimchi and also in raw materials of the kimchi (Chinese cabbage, green onion, ginger, garlic, and red pepper) were counted using appropriate media. The highest number of aerobic bacteria was detected from ginger, then red pepper, then garlic, then Chinese cabbage, and lowest number from green onion. The highest number of psychrotrophilic bacteria was detected from red pepper, then Chinese cabbage, then garlic, then ginger, and the lowest number from green onion. Coliforms and E. coli were not detected from all of the raw materials of kimchi. Total aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria of the kimchi showed gradually increasing during ripening and fermentation. The number of psychrotrophilic bacteria showed a similar level in the kimchi. Coliform bacteria were detected at the 3rd, 4th, and 5th day of the kimchi fermentation period, although they were not detected from the raw materials of the kimchi. However, the bacteria were not detected in the kimchi after 6 days. E. coli was not detected in all kimchi samples. The pH value of the kimchi gradually decreased, and acidity increased over fermentation period. This study indicates that there was contamination of coliform bacteria during the process of kimchi preparation, and lactic acid bacteria proliferated in the kimchi during fermentation inhibited the growth of coliforms. More research is needed to evaluate the inhibitory effects of each raw materials of kimchi.

This study was carried out to investigate the properties of cucumber kimchi prepared with different minor ingredients(potato, puchu). Acidity, pH, color value, hardness, and lactic acid bacteria were measured under the condition of $10^{\circ}C$ for 25 days. Five conditions of making cucumber kimchi included: cucumber kimchi with puchu 300g(treatment 1, control), cucumber kimchi with potato 90g, puchu 210 g(treatment 2, 5-1), cucumber kimchi with potato 150g, puchu 150 g(treatment 3, S-2), cucumber kimchi with potato 210g, puchu 90 g(treatment 4, S-3), cucumber kimchi with potato 270g, puchu 30g(treatment 5, S-4). Hardness of cucumber kimchi appeared higher values as the potatoe's volume increased(S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4), during all fermentation days. The results showed very significant values in pH(p<0.001), acidity(p<0.001), 'L' of lightness(p<0.05), hardness(p<0.001), lactic acid bacteria(p<0.001) according to fermentation. And the results showed very significant values in 'a' of redness(p<0.01), hardness(p<0.001) according to cucumber kimchi samples. These results showed that fermentation patterns of cucumber kimchi were influenced by the different minor ingredients used.

This review summarizes the studies on a wide variety of yeast found in kimchi and the effects of yeast on kimchi fermentation, and discusses the direction for further research. Yeast belongs to the genera Trichosporon, Saccharomyces, Sporisorium, Pichia, Lodderomyces, Kluyveromyces, Candida, Debaryomyces, Geotrichum, Kazachstania, Brassica, Yarrowia, Hanseniaspora, Brettanomyces, Citeromyces, Rhodotorula, and Torulopsis have been identified using culture-dependent methods and metagenomics analysis. The application of yeast as a starter into kimchi has resulted in an extension of shelf life and improvement of sensory characteristics due to a decrease in the amount of lactic acid. On the other hand, some yeast cause kimchi spoilage, which typically appears as an off-odor, texture-softening, and white-colony or white-film formation on the surface of kimchi. In contrast to lactic acid bacteria, there are limited reports on yeast isolated from kimchi. In addition, it is unclear how yeast affects the fermentation of kimchi and the mechanism by which white colony forming yeast predominate in the later stage of kimchi fermentation. Therefore, more research will be needed to solve these issues.

This research was performed to investigate the potential use of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) as an ingredient to improve the biological function and flavor of kimchi. The quality characteristics were studied for kimchi with or without Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus (CBM kimchi) during fermentation for 25 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH changes of CBM kimchi were slower than those of control but did not show any significant difference after addition of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus during fermentation. The titratable acidity of CBM kimchi was higher than that of control. The log number of total bacteria was lower about 1.5 $log_{10}$ cycle in CBM kimchi than in control during fermentation. However, lactic acid bacteria did not show significant difference between CMB kimchi and control. Sensory qualities of kimchi such as color, taste, flavor and overall acceptability were significantly improved by addition of 3% Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medicus(p<0.05).

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of salting in 10% salt solution added 2% calcium chloride on the kimchi fermentation. The addition of calcium chloride extended edible periods of the Kimchi to 4~5 days and increased relatively the hardness of Chinese Cabbage. In the addition of calcium chloride, the activities of amylase and $\beta$ -galactosidase were not high during all periods fermentation. Polygalacturonase and protease activities were low 2~21%, 2~26% all periods fermentation, respectively. There were significant correlations between the delay of ripeness and decreasing enzyme activation. The amount of free amino acid by the treatment with calcium chloride was decreased of 10~16% at the late of fermentation than that of control. the treatment with calcium chloride of the Kimchi was increased hardness, but decreased cohesiveness and gumminess was during all periods fermentation. the adhesiveness was increased at the early of fermentation but decreased at the late of fermentation.

Kimchi is a representative traditional food in Korea and a type of vegetable product that is the unique complex lactic acid fermentation in the world. It can be considered as a unique fermented food generated by various flavors, which are not included in raw materials, that can be generated by mixing and fermenting various spices and seasonings, such as red pepper powder, garlic, ginger, and salted fish, added to Chinese cabbages. Functionalities in Kimchi have been approved through several studies and the probiotic function that is mainly based on lactic acid bacteria including their physical functions in its contents has also verified. Studies on the verification of the safety of Kimchi including its physiological functions have been conducted. In particular, the function of lactic acid bacteria, which is a caused of the fermentation of Kimchi. Although the lactic acid bacteria contributed to the fermentation of Kimchi is generated from raw and sub-materials, the lactic acid bacteria attached on Chinese cabbages has a major role in the process in which the fermentation temperature and dominant bacteria are also related to the process. The salt used in a salt pickling process inhibits the growth of the putrefactive and food poisoning bacteria included in the fermentation process of Kimchi and of other bacteria except for such lactic acid bacteria due to the lactic acid and several antimicrobial substances generated in the fermentation process, such as bacteriocin and hydrogen peroxide. In addition, the carbon dioxide gas caused by heterolactic acid bacteria contributes to the inhibition of aerobic bacteria. Furthermore, special ingredients included in sub-materials, such as garlic, ginger, and red pepper powder, contribute to the inhibition of putrefactive and food poisoning bacteria. The induction of the change in the intestinal bacteria as taking Kimchi have already verified. In conclusion, Kimchi has been approved as a safety food due to the fact that the inhibition of food poisoning bacteria occurs in the fermentation process of Kimchi and the extinction of such bacteria.

This study was intended to observe the effect of cooked glutinous rice flour and soused shrimp on the fermentation of Kimchi samples were fermented for 11 days at 10$^{\circ}C$ after they were previously fermented for 6 hours at 20$^{\circ}C$. Changes of pH, total acidity, salt content, reducing sugar content, free amino acid content, total vitamin C content, and ascorbic acid content were measured. The results were as follows; 1. Soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour added in Kimchi acted as lactobacilli growth enhancer during fermentation. 2. Initial cincentrations of redng sugars in Kimch samples with no soused shrimp, 5% and 10% sosed shrimp were 7.5~8.3 mg/g, 3.0~4.7 mg/g and 0.5~0.6 mg/g respectively. Kinchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed higher reducing sugar contents than Kimchi samples without it. 3. Free amino acid contents in Kimchi samples gradually decreased during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$. According to their soused shrimp concentration, contents of free amino acid of Kimchi samples were significantly different. And Kimchi samples with glutinous rice flour showed lower free amino acid contents than Kimchi samples without it. 4. Total vitamin C contentrations of Kimchi samples were 24.5~28.0 mg% at the initial stage of fermentation and 15.0~19.2 mg% at the final stage of fermentation. During the fermentation of Kimchi, the higher soused shrimp concentration, the less total vitamin C contents were remained. 5. During the fermentation, ascorbic acid contents of Kimchi samples were not affected by soused shrimp and glutinous rice flour.

The effects of storage containers and storage temperatures on Kimchi quality were investigated. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Pabix, poly ethylene-back+plastic container, tupper-ware were much better than crock, stainless steel, and plastic container in keeping a Kimchi. However, there was no significant differences between containers in the sensory test for Kimchi. 2. Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ was the most delicious, which revealed pH 4.30, acidity 0.45-0.50%, and salt concentration 3.10wt% in the 4th days after storage whereas sensory score for Kimchi quality was very low in the 12th days after storage. 3. pH in Kimchi stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ was slowly decreased as compared to the Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$, but texture score of Kimchi stored at -5$^{\circ}C$ or -8$0^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$, but texture score of Kimchi stored at -5$^{\circ}C$ or -8$0^{\circ}C$ were compared to that of the Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ after fermentation. 5. In the group of Kimchi stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$, immediately after picking it took 48days until the best conditions which were pH 4.30 and acidity 0.45-0.50% were matched. 6. The most promising method in keeping good taste and good quality of Kimchi was to store Kimchi at 5$^{\circ}C$ after 4days fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$. And, for long period preservation of Kimchi, it took would be effective to store at -8$0^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$.
