Nitrate contents and quality characteristics of Ulgari-Baechu Kimchi, Yulmoo Kimchi, and Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were investigated during a storage period. In case of Ulgari-Baechu Kimchi and Yulmoo Kimchi, an increase of pH and decrease of acidity were distinguished by the 4th day of the storage after fermentation. In Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi, pH value decreased and total acidity increased through the whole storage period. Total microbial and lactic acid bacterial counts of Yulmoo Kimchi and Ulgari-Baechu Kimchi reached the peak at the 4th day of storage and slowly decreased after the 18th day. Total microbial and lactic acid bacterial counts of Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were also the highest at the 4th day of fermentation but showed gradual decreases from the same day. Nitrate contents of Ulgari-Baechu Kimchi significantly decreased by fermentation at room temperature, which continued during the whole store period to down by 11%. Showing the similar pattern in the nitrate content change, Yulmoo Kimchi and Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi recorded 12% and 5% decrease, respectively.

Yulmoo Kimchi becomes sour without carbonated taste when ripened at room temperature after being placed under cold temperature. The carbonated taste of Kimchi is reported to come from the hetero lactic fermentation of Leuconostoc strains. Yulmoo extract was made with methanol and added to four lactic bacteria strains originating from kimchi. The bacteria were also subjected to $1^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours as a cold shock treatment. after which Leuconostoc mesenteroide subsp. dextranicum KCCM 40708, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC 3102, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3108, and Leuconostoc lactics KCTC 3528 strains showed a growth inhibition with the addition of Yulmoo extract at the concentration of 250-4,000 ppm. Leuconostoc mesenteroide subsp. dextranicum KCCM 40708, Lactobacillus brevis KCTC 3102, Lactobacillus plantarum KCTC 3108, and Leuconostoc lactics KCTC 3528, a strains appearing at the early stage of Kimchi fermentation, showed a higher growth inhibition following Yulmoo treatment in combination with the cold shock.

Effect of preparation method on Yulmoo kimchi(watery kimchi prepared with Yulmoo, leaf radish) fermentation was investigated by measuring physicochemical, microbiological and sensory properties for 20 days. Yulmoo kimchi was fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ after keeping at room temperature(27$\pm$0.5$^{\circ}C$) for 8 hours. Four types(A, B, C, D) of Yulmoo kimchi were prepared. Sample A was made without wheat flour paste and red pepper powder and sample B was made with wheat flour paste. Sample C was made with red pepper powder, and sample D was made with wheat flour paste and red pepper powder. pH was slowly lowered and stabled after 10 days in all samples. Total acid content increased in all samples. Reducing sugar content initially increased and decreased thereafter. Especially, reducing sugar content of sample B increased in the early stage of fermentation and maintained initial reducing sugar content after 20 days. Total vitamin C content reduced during fermentation in all samples. Especially initial total vitamin C content of sample D increased more than those of other samples relatiely. Lightness and yellowness showed no difference, but on the other hand redness increased gradually in all samples. The number of lactic acid bactgeria reached maximum value in 10~13 days with the total cell numbers and gradually decreased thereafter in all samples. The number of lactic acid bacteria and total cell number of sample D was much more than those of any other samples. As a result of the sensory evaluation, Yulmoo kimchi showed significant difference in all characteristics. Sample D showed the highest scores in all characteristics before 10 days of fermentation. However, after 10 days sample B showed the highest scores.

The optional ingredient, Maesil juice, was adopted to improve the quality of Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi during fermentation. The final weight of the Maesil juice as a percentage of the water content in the Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi was adjusted to 0, 1, 3, 5 and 7%. The physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10$^{\circ}C$ over a 30 days period. After fermentation, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice gave the highest pH values and lowest total acidities. With regard to the reducing sugars, the 3 and 5% treatments gave the highest contents. The number of the total cell count and lactic acid bacteria increased to their maxima during fermentation, but began to decrease during the latter stages. Here, the additions of 3 and 5% Maesil juice showed distinctive lower and higher numbers of total cells and lactic acid bacteria, respectively, during the latter stages of fermentation. With regard to the sensory evaluation on the addition of Maesil juice, the results obtained with 3 and 5% additions to the fermented Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were favored for color, smell, sour and carbonated tastes and overall acceptability of the products. Therefore, the optimum levels of Maesil juice addition to Yulmoo Mul-Kimchi were estimated to be between 3 and 5%.

To select potent probiotics from lactic acid bacteria in Yulmoo Kimchi, an in vitro and stimulated human intestinal model system (SHIMS) test were performed. One Leuconostoc mesenteroides strain from five strains of Yulmoo Kimchi and one Lactobacillus plantarum from 12 strains of KCTC and KCCM were selected according to survival in acidic and bile salts conditions. Between the two species, Leu. mesentroides displayed higher survival activity in a SHIMS test. The strain was identified as Leu. mesentroides by 16S rRNA sequencing and was designated as Leu. mesentroides K01.

Effects of freeze-drying on microbiological and sensory characteristics of yulmoo-kimchi (leaf radish kimchi) were investigated. Freeze-dried yulmoo-kimchi was stored at 0, 10 or $25^{\circ}C$ for 60 days and rehydrated with water. Optimum rehydration time of freeze-dried yulmoo-kimchi was 2 hr. Number of lactic acid bacteria of freeze-dried, 10 days-stored, rehydrated yulmoo-kimchi decreased significantly (p<0.05) in comparison with that of reference sample (non-freeze-dried yulmoo-kimchi), while no significant changes were observed after 10 days. As storage temperature increased, number of lactic acid bacteria of 10 days-stored samples decreased. pH value slightly increased by freeze-drying, while it decreased gradually during 60 days of storage. Sensory properties of freeze-dried/rehydrated sample were slightly inferior to those of reference sample, but those were relatively good when the sample was evaluated solely. Overall acceptability of freeze-dried, $0^{\circ}C$-stored, rehydrated sample was significantly inferior to reference sample (p<0.05) and it gradually decreased as storage temperature increased. Between storage periods of 10 through 60 days, sensory properties of 0 and $10^{\circ}C$-stored sample slightly decreased, while those of $25^{\circ}C$-stored sample decreased markedly.

An optional ingredient Perilla Seed paste was adopted to improve the quality of Yulmoo Mul-kimchi during fermentation. The final weight percentage of perilla seed paste in Yulmoo Mul-kimchi was adjusted to 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% per water respectively. Chemical and sensory characteristics were determined during fermentation at 10$\^{C}$ for 25 days. The effect was varied depending on the amounts of perilla seed paste, but Yulmoo Mul-kimchi fermented with 20% perilla seed paste was most favored for color, smell, sour taste, carbonated taste, texture and overall acceptability in the sensory evaluation. The pH decreased with the increase of total acidity. The total vitamin C content increased initially to the certain level at a certain time of fermentation depending on the level of perilla seed paste, and then decreased later. In case of reducing sugar, the 20% treatment showed the highest content. Turbidity values were generally increased in all samples during fermentation, even though the extents were limited. Total plate count and the number of lactic acid bacteria were gradually increased and then decreased showing the maximum microbial counts during fermentation. The optimum levels of perilla seed paste in Yulmoo Mul-kimchi obtained through experiments were between 20 and 30% of added water content, preferably 20% for color, fermentation-retarding effect, and sensory taste of the product.

Saltwort (Salicornia herbacea L.), as a natural additive for regulating Mul-kimchi fermentation, was assessed for physicochemical and sensory characteristics of Yulmoo Mul-kimchi during storage. Saltwort in the form powder was directly added to the Yulmoo Mul-kimchi preparation at 0 (control), 1, 3, 5, and 7% (w/v) per weight of salt to evaluate their physicochemical, sensory, and microbiological characteristics in storage at $10^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. The pH values of all treatments were high, indicating a less acidic environment in all treatments compared to those of the control sample throughout the preservation period. Total acidity increased with storage time as is usually seen with normal kimchi fermentations, whereas the increases were more gradual in the 3 and 5% treatments. The increases in total vitamin C continued until days 6 (control) to 13 (7%), and were different according to the amount of added saltwort and then they decreased after each peak. The fluctuation in reducing sugars fol owed a similar trends of total vitamin C content by showing an initial increase, followed by a decrease based on the saltwort concentration and storage day. The 5% treatment was most effective for suppressing the increase in turbidity among all treatments. The 3 and 5% treatments showed the highest lactic acid bacteria counts during the entire preservation period. In the sensory evaluation results, adding saltwort at more than 3% concentration attained an overall higher scores of acceptability with respect to color, smell, taste, fresh taste, sour taste, crisp, and overall acceptability characteristics. In conclusion, adding saltwort, particularly at concentrations of 3 and 5% extended the preservation period of Yulmoo Mul-kimchi by retarding fermentation effectively.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of harvey powder on the fernentation of Yulmoo Kimchi, by measuring sensory, physicochemical, and microbiological properties during fermentation up to 31 days. The Yulmoo Kimchi, with various levels [0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4% (w/w)] of harvey powder, was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$. The product containing the control evidenced the highest scores for appearance and smell. Taste, carbonated taste, texture and overall acceptability were highest in the 0.1% harvey powder and control. During fermentation, titratable acidity increased while pH gradually decreased. Reducing sugar showed no difference at initial fermentation and then steadily decreased. Total vitamin C was gradually decreased during fermentation and reduced sharply after 10 days, and then almost maintained. Total polyphenol content was the highest in the 0.3% harvey powder on day 0 and maintained in all samples thereafter. Antioxidant effect of the Yulmoo Kimchi with 0.1% harvey powder was shown to be the highest. Also, the time required to achieve maximum levels of lactic acid bacteria, as determined by log numbers of cells and total viable cells, were more delayed in the experimental groups with added harvey powder than in the controls. Our results indicated that the Yulmoo Kimchii with below 0.1% added harvey powder was acceptable.
