Freeze-dried Kimchi powder has to be first produced to make Kimchi noodle. Two days, ten days, fifteen days and twenty-five days fermented Kimchi were analyzed respectively to obtain adequate material for freeze-dried Kimchi. Fourteen days' fermented Kimchi with pH 4.0∼4.7 and 0.5∼0.8% acidity was chosen for material for freeze-dried Kimchi, Fourteen days fermented Kimchi was first freeze-dried and powdered. Sensory evaluation was done to decide that 4% addition of the powdered material was optimal. The mixture of Kimchi noodle was analyzed into two perspectives; noodle and Kimchi. The analyzed factors of the mixture was a texture of noodle, color level, Kimchi flavor and its spiciness. The texture of noodle are nutty taste, softness, viscidity and oil flavor. Heavy oil flavor and nutty tasty decreased against the increase of Kimchi powder. Six percent addition of material showed a definite change to the mixture. More than six percent addition destroyed the texture of noodle into near crumbles. Four percent addition of material showed almost same as ordinary noodle texture. Therefore four percent addition of freeze-dried Kimchi was chosen optimal through sensory evaluation.

Polyethylene films contained 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40% of raw-ore powder(PERO) were prepared. The characteristics feature of the film and the powder were investigated in order to use packaging material for kimchi quality. Kimchi was packaged in the PERO bass md stored at 10$^{\circ}C$. The kimchi was examined for a pH, acidity, number of total microbe and lactic acid bacteria, E. coli, color values and sensory evaluation. The ore powder at 20$^{\circ}C$ produced infrared rays at 800-1100nm. The growth of E. coli md Staphylococcus aureus was extremely inhibited in the EMB and nutrient broth containing 10% of raw-ore powder but, that of lactobacillus plantarum and Leuconostoc mesenteriodes was slightly promoted in MRS broth containing 1%. The ripening by pH and acidity was slightly accelerated in kimchi in PERO bag(PERO-kimchi) compared to control kimchi but the maintenance of ripened-kimchi taste was prolonged in PERO-kimchi. The number of lactic acid bacteria of PERO-kimchi was more numerous than that of contol sample but that of E. coli wag exremely legs. The color L* values of PERO-kimchi was lower than control but a* and b* values were higher. Sensory evaluation of PERO-kimchi was higher score than control sample in crispness and overall taste about 10 to 20% of raw-ore contents for kimchi-packaging material was desirable.

The one-way gas valve developed in this study was designed to prevent the breakage of packages from increased internal pressure, which is a problem in packaged Kimchi, and simultaneously reduce the outflow of the offodor release. The effect of the one-way gas valve on the headspace atmospheric compositions was investigated in the packaging system. The changes of atmospheric compositions and quality factors of Kimchi, such as $CO_2$ accumulation, pH, titratable acidity, and salinity, were measured during a 4-week storage period at $4^{\circ}C$. The Kimchi package with the one-way gas valve dramatically reduced pressure build-up in the pouch by allowing the controlled flow of gas to the atmosphere. In addition, the package design allows the possibility of controlling the gas generated from Kimchi by adjusting the viscosity of the open pressure control oil. The one-way gas valve did not affect the sensory characteristics of Kimchi products during the storage period. Furthermore, the deodorizing capability of the activated carbon contained in the one-way gas valve effectively reduced the off-odor of Kimchi products released along with carbon dioxide. The novel one-way gas valve is considered to be an active packaging system that can solve major problems of expansion and off-odor leakage in the packaging of Kimchi.

Effects of licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) extract (LicoS) as sugar substitute on kimchi quality was evaluated by investigating acid formation, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and volatile odor components of LicoS-added kimchi. pH of LicoS-added kimchi unripened or ripened for one day did not differ from other samples, but was slightly increased with two or three days ripening. Acidity of unripened kimchi or kimchi ripened for one day significantly increased by addition of LicoS, while that of kimchi ripened for two or three days significantly decreased (p<0.05). Addition of LicoS had no significant effect on lactic acid bacteria count of kimchi compared to sugar. Overall acceptability and taste of 0.05 and 0.1% LicoS-added kimchi ripened for one to three days were higher than other samples, whereas addition of 0.2% LicoS resulted in lowest overall acceptability, taste, and odor. Color of 0.2% LicoS-added kimchi (except 3 day-ripened sample) was inferior to other samples. LicoS addition had no significant effect on volatile odor components of kimchi.

The effects of purified licorice (Glycyrrhiza uralensis) extract (PLE) as a sugar substitute on kimchi quality were evaluated by investigating acid formation, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, and volatile odor components of PLE-added kimchi. The pH of kimchi with higher amounts of added PLE increased slightly with two or three days ripening. The acidity of unripened kimchi or kimchi ripened for one day significantly increased with addition of PLE, while that of kimchi ripened for two or three days decreased significantly (p<0.05). Addition of PLE had no significant effect on the lactic acid bacteria count of kimchi compared to that of sugar. Overall acceptability and taste of 0.005 or 0.01% PLE-added kimchi ripened for two to three days were higher than those of other samples, whereas addition of more than 0.01% PLE to kimchi unripened or ripened for one day resulted in lower overall acceptability and taste than the reference sample. Diallyl sulfide and methyl trisulfide were newly produced by ripening of kimchi, and the amounts of some volatile odor components in kimchi were also changed during ripening.

This study was performed to investigate the physiochemical and sensory characteristics of Kimchi with added Houttuynia cordata Thunb(HC). According to measurements for physicochemical characteristics, the three groups of tested Kimchi(HC juice, HC powder, control) did not show any significant differences in pH and hardness. However, the acidity of the Kimchi with added HC juice was found to be significantly higher. Regarding lightness, L values were not different among the three groups, while a and b values showed significant decreases. In descriptive analysis, Kimchi redness was lowest in the HC juice group, and difference in redness was identified between the HC juice and powder groups. One survey indicated that the Kimchi with added HC juice had a unique odor, but no difference was found between the HC powder group and the control group. Also, a survey on preference characteristics indicated there were no differences between the three groups. For the saltiness and acidity of the Kimchi with added HC, there was a significant negative correlation(p<0.05), in which stronger saltiness lower acidity. On the other hand, acidity and HC odor showed a significantly positive correlation(p<0.05). Furthermore, the L value showed a significantly negative correlation(p<0.05) with HC odor.

To save cost and time in Kimchi manufacture, the use of raw red-pepper paste and device-mashed vice materials, in place of dried red-pepper powder, was examined. Two kinds of Kimchi were prepared: One with dried red pepper powder and device-not mashed vice materials and the other with raw red pepper paste and device-mashed vice materials. Then pH, total acidity, total viable cell counts, total lactic acid bacteria and sensory characteristics were evaluated. Comparisons of the two Kimchis, indicated that changes in pH, total acidity, the total number of viable cells and total lactic acid bacteria were similar between the two groups. The acceptability score of the Kimchi made using the raw red pepper paste and device-mashed vice materials was slightly lower than that of Kimchi made using the dried red-pepper powder. This color was indistinctly changed since the vice materials were mashed and mixed. In conclusion, the results indicate that when manufacturing Kimchi using device-mashed vice materials, Kimchi of better quality can be made by adding dried red-pepper powder.

This study investigated the effects of mashed maesil and maesil extract on Kimchi during fermentation. The mashed maesil and maesil extract were added at 5% of the weight of salted cabbages to the Kimchi sauce, and then physiochemical and sensory characteristics were examined over 28 days of fermentation at 4$^{\circ}C$. During the entire fermentation process, the mashed maesil Kimchi had a consistent pH of 4.4 to 4.2, and the mashed maesil controlled fermentation better than the maesil extract. The mashed maesil Kimchi had the lowest acidity ($0.43{\pm}0.01{\sim}0.42{\pm}0.01$), despite showing a similar pH level to the maesil extract Kimchi. The mashed maesil Kimchi presented the highest hardness level. And in the early stage of fermentation the control Kimchi had the lowest hardness; however, at the end of storage, hardness increased in every Kimchi and no differences were shown. In terms of color value changes, the L-values of every Kimchi increased as the fermentation period increased; but on the $28^{th}$ and final day of fermentation L-values had decreased in all groups. The group with mashed maesil had the highest a-value, but there were no significant differences in b-values among the groups. In evaluating sensory characteristics and acceptability of flavor, the maesil extract Kimchi was higher in intensity with regard to sourness, umami taste, sweetuess, maesil taste, carbonated taste, and fresh taste; it also had higher overall acceptability. Therefore, a fixed amount of maesil extract(5%) can be added to Kimchi with good affects on quality, by controlling fermentation and increasing flavor.
