This study investigated the physicochemical, microbiological, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of Makgeolli supplemented with 10, 20, and 30% Codium fragile (Cf) during an 8-day fermentation period. The pH and acidity on day 0 were lower in Makgeolli supplemented with Cf (pH 3.55-3.65, acidity 0.26-0.29%) than in the unsupplemented Makgeolli (control) (pH 3.72, acidity 0.23%). The pH and acidity of Cf Makgeolli on day 8 were 3.08-3.12 and 0.67-0.75%, respectively. The sugar content increased steadily until day 4 (8.1-8.5 Brix) and then decreased steadily (6.5-6.8 Brix). The alcohol content increased steadily until day 8 (13.2-14.3%). The pH decreased, acidity increased, and alcohol content increased significantly (all P<0.05), with stepwise increases in fermentation time and Cf concentrations. The lactic acid bacteria counts were 9.28-9.37 log versus 8.18 log in the control. The DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) and ABTS [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid)] radical scavenging activities were higher in Cf Makgeolli (DPPH 74.63-84.64%, ABTS 51.01-64.79%) than in the control (DPPH 30.97%, ABTS 21.21%). Makgeolli supplemented with 10 and 20% Cf had the highest taste, smell, and overall acceptance scores. This study suggests that Makgeolli supplemented with 10 and 20% Cf could be developed due to its good physicochemical and microbiological characteristics, including high antioxidant properties and good consumer acceptance.

This study was conducted to assess the quality characteristics and antioxidant activity of yanggaeng prepared with different concentrations of Viscum album extracts (VAE; 0, 1, 3 and 5%). The moisture content ranged from 37.85% to 39.38%, exhibiting no significant differences between the groups. The pH level of VAE 5% added yanggaeng was the lowest, followed in order by 3% and 1% additions. Increasing the amount of VAE in yanggaeng tended to increase acidity. The lightness value of the Hunter color system decreased based on the amount of VAE concentrate added to yanggaeng. As VAE content increased, changes in hardness, gumminess, and brittleness were all significant (p<0.05). Characteristics of cohesiveness and springiness showed no significant differences. Total polyphenol content was the highest in VAE 5% added yanggaeng. Antioxidant activities such as DPPH radical scavenging activity of the control group was 2.29%, whereas groups with added VAE ranged from 7.52~28.05%. As VAE increased, antioxidative activity also increased. In the sensory evaluation, yanggaeng addition with VAE 3% had excellent scores for bitterness, moistness, and overall acceptability. Yanggaengs with moderate levels of VAE 3% are recommended (with respect to overall preference score) to take advantage of the functional properties of VAE without sacrificing consumer acceptability.

This study was carried out to investigate changes in nutrient composition and fermentation properties in abalone mul-kimchi using dried pollack stock (AMKP) and licorice stock (AMKL) during storage at $4^{\circ}C$ for 35 days. The levels of moisture (88.37-90.94%) and crude ash (2%) did not differ much between AMKP and AMKL during the 35 days of storage. But crude protein and crude lipid levels decreased gradually until 21 days of storage. AMKP and AMKL fermentation during 21 days led to a decrease in pH, increased acidity, and the highest Leuconostoc sp. count. AMKP and AMKL showed acidity of 0.50% at pH 4.30, when the kimchi samples were ripened properly. Glutamic acid showed the highest content in AMKP and AMKL, and hydroxypoline was the most abundant of all free amino acids. We have provided basic data for commodification research on abalone mul-kimchi.

In order to develop and propagate the low sodium kimchi for preventing high sodium related diseases, the salinity, pH and acidity of cabbage(Bachu) kimchi sampled from home located in 6 big cities(Pusan, Daegoo, Kyungjoo, Daegoo, Jeonjoo, Daejeon, and Seoul) and commercial 6 manufacturers(A~F) distributed in markets were monitored and analyzed in the current study. Salinity was significantly (p<0.05) higher in homemade($3.03%{\pm}0.60$: 1.79~4.40) kimchi than in commercial($2.38%{\pm}0.60$:1.04~2.87) kimchi. Also, salinity was significantly(p<0.05) higher in Pusan($3.45{\pm}0.60%$) kimchi than in Kyungjoo($3.11{\pm}0.39$), Daegoo($3.19{\pm}0.42$), Jeonjoo($2.98{\pm}0.32$), Daejeon($3.00{\pm}0.38$) and Seoul ($2.52{\pm}0.46%$) kimchi. However, there was no significant difference(p<0.05) of salinity in 6 kinds of commercial kimchi. Related to this result, pH of kimchi from homemade and commercial was $4.40{\pm}0.29$(3.72~6.03) and $5.45{\pm}0.76$ (4.23~6.35), acidity of kimchi from homemade and commercial were $0.99{\pm}0.30%$(0.28~2.17) and $0.45{\pm}023$(0.17~0.93), respectively. Thus, the current study provides evidence that we may need to manufacture the low sodium kimchi because all homemade kimchi, especially Pusan and Daegoo kimchi and commercial brand kimchi contained over 2% salinity.

This study was carried out to investigate commercialization of Kimchi made of cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata L.) using pre-fermentation conditions. The pre-fermentation conditions were 0, 18, 24, and 28 h at $20^{\circ}C$, and then the samples were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ to assess changes in quality characteristics. A comparison of the quality characteristics during storage showed that PF24 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 24 h at $20^{\circ}C$) and PF28 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 28 h at $20^{\circ}C$) had pH 4.47 and pH 4.23 on the second day of storage, respectively. It was possible to shorten the fermentation time to less than that of PF0 (not pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi at $20^{\circ}C$), by approximately 3 days. Total acidity was 0.26 to 0.29% immediately after making the Kimchi. However, PF0, PF18 (pre-fermented cabbage Kimchi during 18 h at $20^{\circ}C$), PF24 and PF28 became well-fermented when they were stored for 8~14 days, 3~10 days or 2~3 days. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased with the passage of time in all treatment groups regardless of fermentation conditions. However, the longer pre-fermentation time became, the faster the number of lactic acid bacteria increased. Most samples showed similar results late in the storage period; 7.2~7.4 log CFU/mL. PF0 had the greatest volume change 2.1 times increase late in the storage period. The sensory evaluation showed significant differences for flavor, taste, and overall acceptability after a partial storage period. PF28 stored for 2~3 days showed excellent flavor, and PF24 and PF28 stored for 2~3 days showed the highest scores of 6.27 to 6.67. The PF24 and PF28 treated samples were appropriate for commercializing small packed cabbage Kimchi and for alleviating the expansion problem of the packing material. However, because mass commercial production requires a large number of samples to be used at once, the results should be assessed for industrial product development in the future.

Sweet pumpkin is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and fiber, and also contains a large amount of β-carotene, which has antioxidant effects. In this study, Makgeolli containing steaming sweet pumpkin (SP) was manufactured to enhance the antioxidant activity. To prepare the Makgeolli, SP was added in amounts of 5, 10, 20, and 30% (w/w), and the chemical (pH, total acidity, alcohol), microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, yeast) properties, and antioxidant activities (DPPH, ABTS) were examined during fermentation and storage for 9 days. The pH of SP Makgeolli was 4.00-4.23 at day 1 of fermentation, and then the pH gradually decreased as fermentation progressed, showing the lowest results at day 9 (3.28-3.52). At day 1, the total acidity was significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 0.09-0.55%) and the total acidity in SP Makgeolli (1.01-1.20) was also rapidly increased by 5 days of fermentation. Alcohol content was significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 4.59-5.77%) increased at day 9. The counts of lactic acid bacteria and yeast in SP Makgeolli were 8.0-8.1 and 7.9-7.8.0 CFU/mL, respectively, which was higher than SP 0% at day 9. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities were significantly increased (P<0.05) as the amount of SP (0-30%; 48.29-78.97% for DPPH, 62.12-86.68% for ABTS) increased at day 9. This study suggests that Makgeolli added with SP could be potentially and commercially developed due to its superior microbiological and chemical properties, including high antioxidant activities.
