In this study, we investigated the use of Gondre, a special product from Gangwon-do, as an ingredient in Kimchi. Kimchi added with Gondre was manufactured for further analysis. The antioxidative properties of Kimchi with uncooked Gondre were found to be 1.2 times higher than those of Kimchi with boiled Gondre, suggesting that uncooked Gondre is the preferred additive. To assess the effect of Gondre over a 30-day period at 5℃, Kimchi was prepared with Gondre at mixed ratios of 20%, 40%, and 50% (w/w). No significant effects of Gondre on pH, titrated acidity, or microorganism growth were observed. However, sensory evaluation results indicated that Kimchi with 20% (w/w) Gondre was preferred over other ratios.
