Measurement methods of moisture content were compared with 7 dried vegetables (red pepper, onion, green onion, garlic, ginger, carrot and radish). The moisture contents of dried vegetables having different moisture contents were determined by atmospheric oven drying, infrared balance, vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods. Vacuum oven and Karl Fisher methods gave the relatively agreed results and considered to give the accurate moisture content. Atmospheric oven drying and infrared balance methods resulted in higher moisture content than methods mentioned above, because of the thermal decomposition of solid. Calibration of the moisture data of atmospheric oven drying method into the vacuum oven data was undertaken. The thermodecomposable solid fraction was high in onion, radish, green onion and carrot, and was in the range of 8.0-11.7% of the total solid in these products.

The main purpose of this study is to provide a basic knowledge of Kimchi preferred by high school students and to improve high school students' Kimchi intake. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 1,056 high school students in Taegu area. The results were as follows: 82% of the students had an affirmative opinion of Kimchi intake and they regarded Kimchi as one of our traditional, healthful and nutritious foods. The most well known Kimchi is as follows: Kkaktugi, Baechu Kimchi, Mul Kimchi, Chonggak Kimchi, Pa Kimchi, Dongchimi, Kkaennip Kimchi and Buchu Kimchi. The students preferred the white stems of the Chinese cabbage. Boy students preferred taste of fresh prepared Kimchi but girl students more preferred properly fermented Kimchi than the other. Their favorite ingredients were Korean radishes, oysters, green onion and carrots, also their favorite spices were red pepper powder, anchovies sauce, garlic and sugar in the order. Among those spices, boy students more preferred anchovies sauce than girl students. The students regarded market Kimchi as one of convenient and time-saving, but less quality and insanitary foods.

The effect of natural condiments on peptic hydrolysis of casein in vitro has been studied, peptic activity was determined by the colorimetric method using folin reagent. The obstructive compounds on colorimetry from hydrolyzates of casein were separated by gel filteration method using sephadex G-10 column and 0.05M NaCl. Zinger and red pepper $(0.1{\sim}1.0%)$ were found to have slightly supressing effect for protein digestive action of pepsin. But garlic, green onion and onion acted as synergist for protein digertive action of pepsin.

Chinese cabbage kimchi has long been consumed as a traditional fermented food in Korea. Ingredients involved in kimchi preparation, such as red peper, garlic, ginger, green onion, and etc., influence the kimchi fermentation rate differing with kinds and amount of ingredients. In this review article, information on the kinds and amounts of these ingredients used in the extant 75 literature is given together with data for frequency and average amount of each ingredient. In addition, chemical composition, minerals and vitamins, and characteristics of the ingredients are present. Effects of ingredients on kimchi fermentation also are extensively reviewed.

When ingredients of Kimchi were mixed and stored in $18^{\circ}C$, lactic acid bacteria, such as Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Lactobacillus plantarum, were selectively grown up. Herefore, to understand why lactic acid bacteria were selectively cultured in Kimchi, antibacterial activities of Kimchi ingredients against some pathogens and Kinlchi lactic acid bacteria were investigated. Kimchi mixed with all ingredients significantly inhibited the growth of all tested pathogens: S. typhimurium, S. sonnei, and E. coli. Kimchi without green onion, garlic or ginger inhibited the growth of S. typhimurium, but did not E. coli and S. sonnei. However, Kimchi without red pepper powder did not inhibit the growth of all tested pathogens. All ingredients of Kimchi did not inhibit the growth of L. plantarum and L. mesenteroides. These results suggest that Kimchi ingredients can synergistically inhibit the growth of pathogens and Kimchi may be a selective medium for lactic acid bacteria.

The nutritional evaluation, and antimutagenic and anticancer effects of Kimchi were reviewed. Kimchi contains high levels of vitamins including vitamin C, $\beta$-carotene, vitamin B complex, niacin, and of minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron and phosphorous, etc. Kimchi is a low energy food, byt contains high quantities oforganic acids, dietary fiber and lactic acid bacteria in addition to the vitamins and minerals. Thus Kimchi could be developed as a protective food as it contains the various regulatory nutrients. The levels of NO3, NO2 and nitrosamines in Kimchi ingredients and Kimchi during theripening are not significant. However, high level of NaCl that could be used when prepared Kimchi in the warm region can be a problem, since high concentraitons of NaCl(>9.5%) in Kimchi could be comutagenic to themutagen of MNNG. The methanol extract of Kimchi, red pepper powder, garlic and lactic bacteria revealed antimutagenic or anticancer activities. The Kimchi extract also inhibited the growth of various human cancer cells.

This paper describes the method of using IKONOS imagery in the development of agriculture-related data inventories. Temporally different three images of panchromatic (1m resolution) and multi-spectral bands (4m resolution) were used to obtain the distribution and characteristics of rice, pear, grape, red pepper, garlic, and reservoir surface area with the field surveys. The result of this study suggests the utility of KOMPSAT-II, which increases the use of the crop and water resources data in rural areas by accumulating temporal data inventories.

This study investigated changes in the quality and antioxidant activity of soy sauce with added Saccharina japonica powder (FSP). Soy sauce was prepared with acid-hydrolyzed soy sauce, brewed soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, dried red pepper, ${\gamma}$-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-enriched sea tangle fermented in lactic acid, and 1% or 3% S. japonica powder by soy sauce volume. The color, pH, microbiology, amino nitrogen, free amino acids, antioxidant activity, and sensory qualities of the soy sauce were evaluated. There were no significant differences in the general characteristics or antioxidant activity. However, the addition of FSP to the soy sauce enhanced the delicate flavor. Furthermore, soy sauce containing FSP had higher levels of GABA (50 mg/100 mL), a biofunctional ingredient. Therefore, the development of seasoning soy sauce with enhanced functionality seems possible.

Indigenous fermented foods have played a vital role in human history, and continue to offer a multitude of diverse sensory characteristics. According to earthenware relic, the fermented fisheries products might be consumed in Korean peninsula from Paleolithic period. The traditional Korean fermented fish products are classified into four groups; Jeot-gal (sik-hae), Aek-jeot, Seasoned Jeot-gal, and Seasoned Aek-jeot. Jeot-gal is a fermented fishery with salt. Aek-jeot is a liquid part of Jeot-gal. Sik-hae is manufactured by fementing fishery with salt, cereal, malt powder, etc. Seasoned Jeot-gal is a salt-seasoned fish with red pepper powder, garlic, onion, etc. Seasoned Aek-jeot is a seasoned product by adding "salt-water" or "condiment" to Aek-jeot. The fermented fisheries industry has traditionally been succeeded mainly in a cottage scale to the middle of 20th century. Thereafter, together with the development of pelagic fishery, the fermented fisheries industry also developed constantly to an enterprise size.

Dietary habits play a significant role in the development of colorectal cancer. Over the past decades, various epidemiological and meta-studies have indicated a close relationship among nutrient intake, dietary habits, and incidence of colorectal cancer. Less consumption of red or processed meat and alcohol, if possible, and high consumption of vitamins B and D, garlic, magnesium, fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Additionally, balanced diet intake and proper weight maintenance are crucial for colon cancer prevention. All these factors are modifiable and associated with the recurrence and overall survival after cancer development, thereby greatly contributing to the nutritional treatment of patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
