The purpose of this study is to evaluate the quality characteristics and consumer acceptance of the Kimchi affected by the storage method and the duration. The characteristics of Kimchi fermented and stored in the traditional method, such as cave facility or pit storage on the shore were compared to the Kimchi which was stored in the Kimchi refrigerator using the physicochemical and sensory evaluation. The quality of Kimchi stored by the Kimchi refrigerator was most acceptable with 3 month storage, while that of Kimchi stored by the storage facility under the ground on the shore was 1 month storage. Shelf life of Kimchi was extended up to 5 month stored by Kimchi refrigerator, and 3 month for the Kimchi stored under the ground on the shore.

In the present study, kohlrabi-kimchi was prepared for assessment of changes in sensory qualities and measurement of changes in quality characteristics according to the storage period for the purpose of using kohlrabi as an ingredient of Kimchi. Examination of the physicochemical properties of kohlrabi-kimchi according to the storage period showed that the acidity increased steadily throughout the storage period, while soluble-solids content, pH and hardness decreased as the storage period elapsed. Meanwhile, the L value increased and then it decreased as the storage period elapsed, but, the a value increased and the b value gradually decreased after day 14 of storage. Reducing sugars increased up to day 10 of storage, and then they decreased slowly after day 15 of storage. Measurement of changes in lactic acid bacteria in kohlrabi-kimchi according to the storage period showed bacterial growth showing typical tendencies of Kimchi with a rapid increase on day 5 of storage and a decrease thereafter. Assessment of sensory qualities of kohlrabi-kimchi according to the storage period showed that the highest scores for appearance and sourness, odor, texture, and overall scores were obtained on day 15 of storage. Based on the above results, it was determined that the optimal maturity period of kohlrabi-kimchi is day 15 of storage.

Threetypes of Korean traditional kimchi were prepared using green onion, leek or godulbaegi as raw materials and stored at 5oC and 20oC for 13 days. Changes in salt and ascorbic acid contents, pH and total acidity as well as the relationship of the decomposition of chlorophylls and the production of their derivatives were investigated. For the all kimchi samples tested, salt content was not significantly changed during storage at both temperatures, whereas pH and total acidity were decreased and increased, respectively. Especially their remarkable changes were shown at the third day of storage. Ascorbic acid content was remained at high level in the leek kimchi for the experimental period at both storage temperatures, meanwhile godulbaegi kimchi retained the least amount of ascorbic acid. Chlorophylls were decomposed to pheophytin and pheophorbide during storage at both storage temperatures, and this phenomenon was apparent at the third day of storage. Reduction of chlorophylls and increasements of its decomposed products such as pheophytin and pheophorbide were the least in leek kimchi and the greatest in godulbaegi kimchi during storage at both temperatures. These results indicate that decomposition of chlorophylls in kimchi and increasements of pheophytin and pheophorbide were closely related to the ascorbic acid content in kimchi.

Three kinds of kimchi using Chinese cabbage, leafy radish and mustard leaf were prepared by conventional method and stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ or 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 13 dyas. During storage at both temperatures, changes of the amounts of salt and ascorbic acid, pH and total acidity were determined, and the relationship of the decomposition of chlorophylls with the production of their derivaties was studied. At both storage temperatures, salt concentration of Chinese cabbage kimchi(3.7%), leafy radish kimchi(3.6%), mustard leaf kimchi(3.5%) was relatively constant during the entire storage period. However, pH and total acidity wre fluctuating with the remarkable changes during 3 days of storage. Ascorbic acid content was slowly decreased during the storage period and the decompositin rate of ascorbic and was greater at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than 5$^{\circ}C$. Among the kinds of kimchi tested, mustard leaf kimchi with the slow decomposition rate of ascorbic acid contained relatively high ascorbic acid content, while leafy radish kimchi contained the lowest content. At both storage temperatures, the production of pheophytin and pheophorbide from decomposition of chlorophyll was least in mustard leaf kimchi, but similar production rates in leafy radish and Chinese cabbage kimchi were observed.

The effects of storage containers and storage temperatures on Kimchi quality were investigated. The results were summarized as follows : 1. Pabix, poly ethylene-back+plastic container, tupper-ware were much better than crock, stainless steel, and plastic container in keeping a Kimchi. However, there was no significant differences between containers in the sensory test for Kimchi. 2. Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ was the most delicious, which revealed pH 4.30, acidity 0.45-0.50%, and salt concentration 3.10wt% in the 4th days after storage whereas sensory score for Kimchi quality was very low in the 12th days after storage. 3. pH in Kimchi stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ was slowly decreased as compared to the Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$, but texture score of Kimchi stored at -5$^{\circ}C$ or -8$0^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$, but texture score of Kimchi stored at -5$^{\circ}C$ or -8$0^{\circ}C$ were compared to that of the Kimchi stored at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ after fermentation. 5. In the group of Kimchi stored at 1$0^{\circ}C$, immediately after picking it took 48days until the best conditions which were pH 4.30 and acidity 0.45-0.50% were matched. 6. The most promising method in keeping good taste and good quality of Kimchi was to store Kimchi at 5$^{\circ}C$ after 4days fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$. And, for long period preservation of Kimchi, it took would be effective to store at -8$0^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at 18$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$.

Cabbage, which is one of the main materials of kimchi, normally has an unstable supply due to cultivation and climate conditions. This unstable supply negatively affects the profitability of kimchi processors in Korea. Thus, kimchi processors found a better method for acquiring a consistent cabbage supply with long-term storage of over 3 months. However, a consensus regarding the best method for the stable and economical acquisition of cabbage remains controversial. This study aimed to analyze the current issue concerning cabbage acquisition by kimchi processors and evaluate the economic feasibility of kimchi storage. Findings obtained through survey and economic analyses using theoretical methodology were as follows: First, A survey conducted on kimchi processors in Korea revealed that even though they recognize the importance of kimchi storage, they struggle to store adequate amounts of cabbage. This is particularly evident with summer cabbage, which experiences the highest supply volatility and thus requires greater attention from kimchi processors in terms of storage. Second, the price analyses using the coefficient of variation show that cabbage in Korea has a high level of price instability, which suggests more storage of cabbage. Third, the evaluation of the economic feasibility of cabbage storage indicated that kimchi processors should consider storing a greater amount of cabbage, particularly during the summer season. This approach can help reduce the overall cost associated with kimchi processing.

In this study, we evaluated changes in the quality characteristics of Godulbaegi kimchi during storage at $20^{\circ}C$ and $5^{\circ}C$. The pH and reducing sugar of Godulbaegi kimchi decreased, and the total acidity and color differences increased with increasing storage time at both temperatures. The vitamin C contents of the Godulbaegi kimchi decreased during the first 15 days of storage at $20^{\circ}C$, then increased for 18 days. The total dietary fiber contents were significantly higher in the fresh Godulbaegi kimchi than in the fermented Godulbaegi kimchi samples. Antioxidative activity was significantly higher in the fresh Godulbaegi kimchi than in the fermented kimchi.

This study investigated the spicy hot flavor related quality characteristics of baechu (Kimchi cabbage) Kimchi prepared using hot pepper powder in various capsaicin levels during 8 weeks of storage. The pHs in the Kimchi samples were in the optimum range of the pH 4.2-4.5 due to the relatively low storage temperature of $2^{\circ}C$ during the entire storage periods. The L, a and b values of cap-150 sample group were significantly higher compared to those in the other samples at 8 weeks of storage. Grading hotness of the Kimchi was significantly clearly separated when varied levels of hotness for the hot pepper powder were used at 2-4 weeks of storage (p<0.001). Sensory spicy hotness of the cap-40 showed significantly the lowest with values of 4.57-4.38 representing mild hot:, that of cap-85 was medium hot with values of 5.81-6.00; and finally, that of cap-150 showed the values of 6.86-7.14, representing strong hot flavor at 2-4 weeks of storage (p<0.001). The grading of spicy hotness in the Kimchi increased by about one level at the optimal edible periods due to the leaching out of capsaicin from the hot pepper powder for those storage periods. Thus, the increased hotness of the Kimchi in the optimal edible periods should be considered when the desired hotness of the hot pepper is chosen for the Kimchi preparation. The hotness decreased as the organic acids were generated during ripening by the 8th weeks of storage.
