The effect of addition in different amounts of leek(4, 8, 12% respectively) during fermentation of kimchi was investigated. Fermentation characteristics such as pH, acidity and total reducing sugars as well as microbiological properties were determined. During fermentation, pH was more slowly lowered in kimchi added with leek than in control and titrable acidity of these kimchi was lower than that of control. Viable cells of total bacteria and lactic acid bacteria in these kimchi were higher than that of control during fermentation. Content of total reducing sugars was higher than that of control. Three kinds of reducing sugars such as fructose, glucose and galactose were detected and the dominant one appeared to be fructose. These results suggested that addition of leek seems to retard fermentation of kimchi due to their anti microbial actvity.

Several ingredients of kimchi including chinese cabbage, garlic, leek, big green onion, and small green onion were assayed for their chitinase activities. Kimchi with various leek contents (4, 8, 12%) were fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 9 days and the chitinase (EC 3.2.1.14) activity and textural properties were determined. The chitinase activity of the ingredients was in the order of garlic>leek>small green onion>chinese cabbage>big green onion. During fermentation, the chitinase activity of kimchi juice appeared more prominent than that of kimchr tissue, however, it was decreased in all kimchi samples among which the control sample showed a remarkable drop. The activity of chitinase in kimchi tissue increased until 3rd or 5th day of fermentation and then decreased. The puncture force of all kimchi samples decreased and those of leek-added kimchi were higher than those of control. The above results suggested that the addition of leek for kimchi preparation could contribute to the improvement of textural qualities of kimchi due to chitinase activities of leek during fermentation.

Kimchi prepared with various amounts of leek (4. 8, 12%) were fermented at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 9 days and the changes in the contents of pectic substance and minerals were determined. Textural properties and sensory characteristics of kimchi were also evaluated after 3rd and 9th days of fermentation. During fermentation, the cutting force increased up to 7th day and then decreased slowly and that of control was higher than those of others. While the control kimchi showed an increase of hot-water-soluble pectin (HWSP) and decrease of HCI-soluble pectin (HCISP), the leek-added kimchi showed an opposite trend. In all kimchi samples, the contents of Ca, Mg and K decreased gradually, whereas that of Na increased slowly during fermentation. As the addition of leek increased in kimchi, the weaker the sourness and the better the appearance. Hardness of leek-added kimchi tended to be higher than that of control as measured by sensory evaluation. In overall acceptability, 12%-leek-added kimchi showed the highest score both at 3rd and 9th days of fermentation. These results suggested that the addition of leek improves the textural qualities of kimchi and enhances the sensory attribute such as flavor during fermentation.

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics, and antimutagenicity of buchu(leek, Allium odorum) kimchi during fermentation at 15$^{\circ}C$. Reducing sugar contents and pH of buchu kimchi were decreased during the fermentation. The reduction rate of reducing sugar of glutinous rice paste and shrimp added buvhu kimchi(GSBK) was faster than those of control buchu kimchi(CBK) and glutious rice paste added bucku kimchi(GBK). Acidity increased rapidly until 4 days,a nd optimum acidity (0.6%) of bucku kimchi was reached within 2 day. Also total bacterial and lactic acid bacterial counts greatly increased after 4 days of the fermentation. The numbers of lactic acid bacteria after 8 day- fermentation in CBK and GSBK, and 10 day-fermentation in GBK were the highest values, 4.5$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, 4.8$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml and 6.1$\times${TEX}$10^{8}${/TEX} CFU/ml, respectively. In the sensory evaluation, appearance of sample was good at 0 day, taste from overall quality of buchu kimchi were asquired the highest values at 6th day. The methanol extracts from buchu kimchi(GBK) showed antimutagenicity against aflatoxin {TEX}$B_{1}${/TEX}({TEX}$AFB_{1}${/TEX})in Salmonella typhimurium TA100. The inhibition ration were 58~69% with treatment of the 5% methanol extracts, and when the adding concentration increased the effect increased.

This study was investigated to find effects of soaking-water salt concentration and submaterial on Kimchi taste and fermentation period. several parameters such as pH, acidity, reducing sugar, amino acid and sensory evaluation during fermentation at 2$0^{\circ}C$ were experimented. The results are as follows : As fermentation period increases, pH and content of reducing sugar of Kimchi have decreased. But acidity has increased. Especially, the pH of all samples rapidly decreased to a extent of pH 4.2. During fermentation the acidity and content of reducing sugar in 12% soaking-water were higher than those in 16% and 20%. Content of reducing sugar I Kimchi was observed to play an important role for the overall taste. As a result of sensory evaluation during fermentation, Kimchi in 16%, 2.6% and in 20%, 3.7%. Sensory evaluation revealed that leek-added Kimchi was highly evaluated in crispness, sour taste, flavor and overall acceptability. These results suggested that Kimchi fermented for 4days at 2$0^{\circ}C$ with 16% salt concentration of soaking water and leek as submaterials should taste most desirable.

This study was conducted to summarize the known kinds and characteristics of traditional special kimchies in Pusan and Kyungnam province. The taste of kimchi varies from region to region within Korea. In the southern part of the country, where the weather is much warmer, more salt is added along with salted anchovy(Myulchi Jeot), and the kimchi is less juicy and richer in flavor. More than 180 different varieties of kimchi are reported in Korea, but there are 30~40 different kinds of kimchi in Pusan and Kyungnam province depending on the main ingredients are known. Puchu kimchi(leek kimchi), Uung kimchi(burdock kimchi), Kongnip kimchi(soybean leaf kimchi) are the typical traditional special kimchi in Pusna and Kyungnam province. Todays, dietary cultures has been gradually changed, and diminished the local characteristics. Also, these tendency appears in the taste of the traditional special kimchi. However, it still remains the distinciton in the taste, ingredients and the methods of preparation of kimchies of Pusan and Kyungnam province. In this paper, the dispersed informations on the kinds, characteristics, and the preparation method of the special kimchies known in literatures and inherited persons in Pusan and Kyungnam province were tried to put together.

This studies were carried out to investigate the effect of ing redients of Kimchi such as garlic, ginger and leek on the fermentation of Kimchi. The effect of ingredients on the growth of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi and on the fermentation of salted chinese cabbbage and Kimchi were also investigated. The lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi were identified as Lactosaciffeg plantaruut, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Pediococus cerevisiae. The growth of these oreanismg was inhibited by garlic or ginger. Inhibitory effect of ginger or was more significant than that of garlic in the broth medium extracted from chinese cabbage at $37^{\circ}C$. The fermentation of salted chinese cabbage was inhibited by addition of garlic or ginger at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermentation of salted chinese cabbage inhibited during only first days and accerlated thereafter by addition of garlic. The fermentation of mixed in gredients added Kimchi was inhibitedduring 1 to 2 days compared with that of ingredients not added Kimchi. The inhibitory effect of ingredients on fermentation was due to growth inhibition of the lactic acid bacteria at initial period of fermentation.

This study was carried out to find the effects of salt and other materials on the taste and fermentation of kimchi. Several parameters such as pH, acidity, salt concentration and sensory evaluation during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$ (after keeping at $20^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours) were used. The results are as follows: As the fermentation period increases the pH of kimchi decreases. The pH of all samples rapidly decreases to 4.2. During fermentation, the acidity at 3 hours was higher than at 5, 8 and 12 hours. For in the sensory evaluation during fermentation, kimchi salted for 5 hours showed a higher score than those salted for 3, 8 and 12 hours. During the storage period, the pH of kimchi with salted oysters rapidly decreased. A sensory evaluation done during the storage period, showed that earlier on in the storage, kimchi with salted oysters was scored higher than kimchi with other Jeotkals. The leek-added kimchi was also highly scored.

Antioxidative activities (AA) of mustard leaf kimchi (MLK) by the addition of optional ingredients among selected minor materials were studied. In order to determine AA of MLK with different spices, the model systems of ground cooked beef with green onion, garlic, and red pepper powder were prepared and stored for 4 weeks at 4$^{\circ}C$. AA of red pepper added group was stronger than those of others. AA of red MLK was relatively higher than that of (green) MLK. For the enhancement of AA of MLK, another model systems were prepared with the selected antioxidative optional ingredients, which were bonnet bellflower root, leek, burdock, sea tangle, sea mustard, seastaghorn at the level of 2% or 4%. The extracts of water, 75% methanol and hexane of MLK, bonnet bellflower root added MLK, and seastaghorn added MLK had a considerable AA with the inhibition of peroxide formation during the autioxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems at 37$^{\circ}C$. Therefore, AA was more effective in MLK containing specific optional ingredients than that of MLK alone significantly.

The effect of glutinous rice paste on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of Puchukimchi during fermentation was investigated. Puchukimchi is a kind of korean kimchi made with Leek (Allium odorum L.). Puchukimchi made with various concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0%) of glutinous rice paste were fermentated at 10$^{\circ}C$ up to 45 days. As a fermentation progressed, pH decreased in all of the treatments, while total acidity increased. By increasing the concentrtion of glutinous rice paste added, an increase of total acidity was noted from Puchukimchi. The reducing sugar content in most samples was decreased during fermentation, however, 1.0% treatment showed a relatively slow decrease. The total vitamin C content increased sharply at the 2nd-day of fermentation and then, gradually decreased especially from the 8th-day following a sigmoidal changing pattern. The total vitamin C content was the highest in Puchukimchi made with 1.0% glutinous rice paste. The counts of lactic acid bacteria increased remarkably and then decreased gradually after optimum ripening period, i.e., the palatable period of Puchukimchi during fermentation.
