In order to reduce the drying cost and to maintain the natural color of raw red pepper and also to keep the red pepper hygienically, two kinds of Kimchies made of red pepper powder and mashed red pepper were prepared. The difference of quality characteristics between Kimchi made of red pepper powder and mashed red pepper was examined during fermentation at $7^{\circ}C$. Both of two Kimchi showed the same patterns of changes in pH, acidity, total bacteria cell count and total lactic acid bacteria cell count. But Kimchi made of mashed red pepper showed lower sensory scores than red pepper powder in overall acceptability.

The purpose of this study was to examine the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of Kakdugi made with mashed red pepper. With regard to the pH of the Kakdugi, those of the juice from Kakdugi with red pepper powder and of the liquid with mashed red pepper were the highest and lowest immediately after preparation, respectively, but thereafter both slightly decreased, but were similar after the fifth week. Generally, the total acidity of Kakdugi liquid was the higher than that of Kakdugi juice. With regard to the L value, that of the Kakdugi juice was higher than that of Kakdugi liquid and that of Kakdugi with mashed red pepper washigher than that of Kakdugi with red pepper powder. From the third week, the 'L' values of all samples generally decreased. The 'a' value of the Kakdugi liquid with mashed red pepper during fermentation was highest During early fermentation, the juice of Kakdugi with red pepper powder showed a higher value than that of Kakdugi with mashed red pepper, but conversely, from the second week that of Kakdugi with mashed red pepper was higher than that of Kakdugi with red pepper powder. The 'b' value of the juice from Kakdugi with red pepper powder was highest until the second week, but from the third week that of Kakdugi with mashed red pepper was highest. With respect to the organic acids contents, those of citric, quinic and malic acids decreased, but those of lactic and acetic acids increased during fermentation progression. In addition, the citric, lacticand malic acids contents of the Kakdugi with mashed red pepper werethe highest, whereas that of quinic acid of the Kakdugi with red pepper powder was the highest. From the forth week, the acetic acid content of the Kakdugi with mashed red pepper was further increased. As a result of the sensory test, Kakdugi with mashed red pepper showed significantly higher values with regard to redness and fresh flavor, but in overall acceptability in the QDA, appearance and taste in the acceptance test. Therefore, our results indicate that mashed red pepper particularly increased the 'a' value and organic acid contents of Kakdugi compared to those of red pepper powder, leading to an increased overall acceptability.

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.

We compared two kinds of red peppers, semi-dry red popper and hot air dry red pepper, and made two kinds of Kimchies with them for this study. The semi-dry red pepper is better to maintain natural color of raw red pepper, to keep hygenity and to protect its loss of the nutrition, than the hot air dry red pepper. The results are as follows: The content of vitamin C and ASTA color value in semi-dry red pepper powder were much higher than those in hot air dry red pepper The cell numbers of total bacteria in semi-dry red pepper powder were much lower than those in hot air dry red pepper. The changes in quality of the two Kimchies were evaluated by pH, acidity, total microbes, lactic acid bacteria cells count and sensory. The patterns of changes in pH, acidity, total microbes and lactic acid bacteria cells count of two kinds of samples were the same. But in case of sensory evaluation, Kimchi made with semi-dry red powder showed best sensory scores than of all in overall acceptability.

We investigated the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of Kimchi made with red pepper that was washed and mashed. The pH of juice from Kimchi made with red pepper powder was the highest on the day of Kimchi preparation. In the case of Kimchi made with mashed red pepper, the pH of juice and liquid was lower than that of other samples. A similar decrease in pH of juice and liquid was observed up to the second week of fermentation, but the significant difference between both samples wasn't found. The total acidity of Kimchi with mashed red pepper was significantly increased during early fermentation, but was similar during the second week, compared with that of Kimchi with red pepper powder. From the third week of storage, both juice and liquid from Kimchi made with red pepper powder was relatively increased. L and a value of liquid was highest in the case of Kimchi made with mashed red pepper, but b value was lowest during fermentation. In the case of organic acids, acetic acid and lactic acid contents were increased in Kimchi made with mashed red pepper while fermentation progressed. In addition, citric acid content was constant up to the second week in Kimchi made with mashed red pepper but from the third week wasn't detected in both Kimchi made with mashed red pepper and Kimchi made with red pepper powder. In the case of QDA(Quantitative Descriptive Analysis) profiles, the values of Kimchi made with mashed red pepper were significantly higher than those of Kimchi made with red pepper powder in respect to redness, pungency and fresh flavor immediately after the preparation of Kimchi and during the second week of fermentation, but during the fifth week the values were higher in respect to redness and fresh flavor of Kimchi. Appearance and overall acceptability was remarkably increased in Kimchi made with mashed red pepper, compared with that of Kimchi made with red pepper powder immediately after pickling, during the second and the fifth week of fermentation. Therefore, these results indicate that mashed red pepper increased more citric acid content, L and a value of Kimchi in comparison with red pepper powder, resulting in the good effects on overall acceptability due to the significant increase of redness and fresh flavor.

This study was conducted to standardize ingredient ratios of wooung kimchi. The ingredient ratios of model wooung kimchiwere determined by the survey in Pusan and Kyungnam province and using the literatures including cooking books. Several kinds of wooung kimchi were prepared by adjusting the ingredient ratios fo the model wooung kimchi within standard deviation. The wooung kimchi with different ingredient ratios were fermented for 6 days at 15$^{\circ}C$. The chemical, microbial and sensory properties of the wooung kimchi were investigated. There was little change in pH but the counts of lactic acid bacteria were decreased, as the ratio of pickled anchovy juice became high. The wooung kimchi adding 9.4% pickled anchovy juice obtained high score in appearance and overall acceptability. The counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased in wooung kimchi adding 5% red pepper powder, and there was obtained better result in appearance, texture and overall acceptability than the other groups. The activity, reducing sugar and counts of lactic acid bacteria were increased, as the ratio of glutinous rice paste became high. The wooung kimchi including 6% glutinous rice paste showed the highest score in overall acceptability. The fermentation process of wooung kimchi accelerated, as the ratio of garlic became high. The wooung kimchi adding 3% garlic showed good appearance and acceptability. In addition to these, the addition of 1.3% ginger ehhanced the appearance, texture and overall acceptability fermented anchovy juice, 5.0% red pepper powder, 6.0% glutinous rice paste, 3.0% crushed garlic and 1.3% crushed ginger.

The objective of this study was to investigate an influence of the degree of hotness of powdered red pepper on quality attributes of Kimchi. The extent of hotness was analysed by content of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin and ASTA color value, and the change of quality attributes of samples were evaluated by pH, acidity, total microbes, lactic acid bacteria cell count and sensory. Content of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in mild red pepper powder was 11.4mg%, 5.4mg% respectively. And content of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in hot red pepper powder was 149.1mg%, 66.0mg% respectively. Kimchi was made with mild and hot red pepper and stored for 24 days at 5±1℃. The pH of Kimchi made with mild red pepper powder during storage of 12 days was slightly lower than that of Kimchi with hot red pepper powder. The pattern of change in pH of samples showed a reducing trend during storage, and the acidity was vice-versa. At day 0, numbers of total bacteria in mild and hot Kimchi were 5.7, 6.7 log cfu/g, respectively. And at day 3, number of total bacteria in mild and hot Kimchi was same. The change in number of lactic acid bacteria was similar to that of total bacteria. In case of sensory evaluation, Kimchi made with hot red pepper powder showed better sensory scores in overall acceptability.

This study is a continuous work for the standardization of children's kimchi preparation. In order to find out the proper red pepper powder for children's kimchi, four kinds of red pepper powder(A, B, C, D) sold in Kyungsang province were used as samples. The proximate composition, color value, capsaicinoids concentration and sugar content in four kinds of the red pepper powder were determined, and sensory evaluation of kimchi Prepared with those was carried out for different fermentation times. Moisture contents of red pepper powder A, B, C and D were in the range of 11.59~13.48%. Lipid and ash contents of samples were in the range of 7.59~8.39% and 4.34~7.45%, respectively. In comparision of color values measured by a Hunter colorimeter, red pepper powder A showed the highest value for a and b values. Also A showed the brightest color as measured in ASTA color and L value. Capsaicin concentration of D and dihydrocapsaicin concentration of C were found to be the highest among the sanlples. The capsaicin equivalent was in tile order of D>C>A>B. The content of total sugar was in the order of B>A>D>C. In the sensory evaluation of children's kimchi prepared with four kinds of red pepper powder, the color and total acceptability of kimchi prepared with A were found to be the best. The results of sensory evaluation between kimchi prepared with A and school supplied kimchi showed that the former was better. And the composition of A red pepper powder was as follows: capsaicin equivalent 24.l5mg%, total sugar content 15.79% and ASTA color value 178.2.

The fermentation and quality characteristics of kimchi, made by adding different types of red pepper (semi-dried red pepper, fresh red pepper, dried red pepper) according to drying conditions, were examined for 15 days at $10^{\circ}C$ fermentation. The initial pH was approximately 5.65~5.72 in all groups, and the pH decreased with increasing fermentation time. The color value of a/b showed the highest in kimchi that made with semi-dried red pepper (SDRP-K). The color value of A remained at the initial level for 9 days, regardless of treatments. The color value had a tendency to decrease after 9 days. The lactic acid bacteria increased rapidly during 6 days of storage, but showed no difference among groups. The initial contents of malic acid and succinic acid were in 3.23~4.52 and 6.12~7.97 mg/mL and decreased during fermentation in all groups. The lactic acid and acetic acid were not contained in the beginning, but increased with increasing fermentation periods. The vitamin C content of SDRP-K was 5.20 mg/g, which was significantly higher compared with kimchi that made with dried red pepper (DRP-K), but which did not show any significant difference to kimchi that made with fresh red pepper (FRP-K). As a result of antioxidant activity in optimally ripened kimchi, both $DPPH^+$ and $ABTS^+$ scavenging activities were higher in SDRP-K than any other groups. As a result of the sensory evaluation, overall acceptability was highest in SDRP-K.

The aim of this study was to investigate the quality properties of beef jerky replaced salt with soy sauce, red pepper paste, and soybean paste. The quality properties of beef jerky including final water activity ($a_w$), moisture content, pH, color, shear force, total plate counts, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values, and sensory evaluations were investigated. The sliced beef samples were marinated in salt (control), soy sauce (T1), red pepper paste (T2), and soybean paste (T3) for 24 h and then dried at $70^{\circ}C$ for 6-8 h. The water activity of finished beef jerky varied from 0.72 to 0.70. The water activity for control and T1 samples decreased more rapidly as drying proceeded up to 6 h. The samples with salt replacement showed a lower pH and lightness than the control (p<0.05). The T1 sample showed a significant decrease in total plate counts after 21 d of storage (p<0.05). The TBARS for all treatments increased with storage days (p<0.05). The TBARS were significantly lower in T2 and T3 samples compared to control and T1 until 21 d of storage (p<0.05). The samples with salt replacement showed a lower intensity of saltiness than the control. Sensory evaluations found that the replaced soy sauce of beef jerky samples had better overall acceptability scores than the other treatment samples. It was concluded that replacing salt with soy sauce can delay lipid oxidation and enhance the sensory acceptance of beef jerkies.
