Naengmyon is a Korean buckwheat noodle with chilld broth, and the juice of dongchimi, a Korean radish pickle fermented with wild lactic acid bacteria, has been used as the broth for naengmyon traditionally. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the inhibitory effect of dongchimi-juice against coliform bacteria in model system of naengmyon-broth. Dongchimi-juice was made from radish juice by the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria which had been isolated from kimchi. Three types of naengmyon-broth, beef-broth type, dongchimi-juice type and the mixed type, were made as model systems, and then the changes in viable cell counts of seven coliform bacteria, Klebsiella planticola Bo2, X. terrigena CO8, K. pneumoniae DOI, K. ozaenae DO4, Enterobacter sp. AO2, Enterobacter sp. CO7, Citrobacter sp. BO7 and Escherichia sp. DO3, which had been added to each type of naengmyon-broth in advance, were investigated during storage at 3$0^{\circ}C$ All coliforms grew rapidly in naengmyon-broth of beef-broth type, while none grew in dongchimi-juice type or in the mixed type. All coliforms died out far more rapidly in dongchimi-juice type than in mixed type. The decreasing slopes of Citrobacter sp. Bo7, K. planticola BO2, X. terrigena CO8 and K. ozaenae DO4 were more steep than those of the rest. It was thought that the preparation method of Korean traditional naengmyon such as dongchimi-naengmyon or Pyongyang style-naengmyon, which uses oxy dongchimi-) juice or the mixture of dongchimi-juice and beef-broth, would be very effective for preventing the growth of coliform bacteria from naengmyon.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng on the physicochemical and microbiological changes in dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The pH was somewhat lower in dongchimi juice added with 2.0% and 4.0% of fresh ginseng than that without ginseng, whereas the titratable acidity was higher in dongchimi juice with 2.0% and 4.0% of ginseng addition than the control. The addition of fresh ginseng to dongchimi preparation increased the numbers of total viable bacteria, lactic acid bacteria including Leuconostac mesenterotdes in dongchimi juice during fermentation. The changes in the counts of lactic acid bacteria were similar to those of total viable cells throughout the experiment except the initial stage of fermentation. However, the number of Leucosfastoc mesenternidgs decreased after the palatable stage. Key words : Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer, dongchlmi juice, pH, titratable acidity, microbiological changes.

This study was undertaken to examine the effects of fresh ginseng addition on the chemical and sensory properties of dongchimi juice fermented under various conditions. The contents of free sugars in dongchimi juice during fermentation increased at the initial stage, but decreased at the palatable stage and then increased again thereafter. Free sugars were higher in dongchlml juice with 4% of ginseng addition than with Soye ginseng and without ginseng addition. Analyses of organic acid contents showed that all three groups contained relatively high amounts of citric, lactic and malic acids. It was also found that, as fermentation progressed, the amounts of tactic and acetic acids in- creased, while that of malic acid decreased at the palatable stage and increased again thereafter. Total saponins were highest in dongchimi juice fermented at 4$^{\circ}C$ with 4% of ginseng addition and panax atrlol ginsenosldes were found more than panaxadiol ginsenosides in dongchimi juice The results of sensory evaluation revealed that dongchimi juice prepared with the addition of $4^{\circ}C$ and 4% ginseng was lower in sour taste and moldy off flavor than the control, thus scoring high In total acceptability. Dongchimi juice with 4% of ginseng addition was best in most sensory characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of hardness and microstructure of Dongchimi cooked with various sources of sugar(xylitol, xylose, sugar, pear juice). It was fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 60 days. The changes of pH in Dongchimi used different kinds of sugar decreased in all samples during the fermentation period, and then showed a slow decrease after 12 days of fermentation. The total acidity of Dongchimi using xylitol arrived slowly at the best tasting condition($0.3\sim0.4$ point) compared with other conditions. The changes of salt content were showed high as compared with other test conditions in 0 day, the day of fermentation. At the early stage of fermentation, the changes of turbidity of Dongchimi using sugar, pear juice were showed high as compared with those of Dongchimi using xylitol, xylose for $5\sim15$ days of fermentation. The maximum cutting force of Chinese radish Dongchimi showed the highest value among al at the 25 th day of ripening and then decreased gradually. The maximum cutting force of Dongchimi using sugar showed the lowest. The calcium and magnesium contents of Dongchimi juice and Chinese radish Dongchimi juice using xylitol were observed high at the early stage of fermentation and showed the highest value during the fermentation period. The microstructure showed disintegration appearance of middle lamella and cell wall during the fermentation period.

Juice of Dongchime a Korean traditional vegetable food fermented with lactic acid bacteria has been traditionary used as broth for Naengmyon a Korean cold noodles with broth. This study was carried out to demonstrate the growth inhibition of two food born pathogens Listeria monocytogenes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 in Naengmyon-broth containing Dongchimi-juice fermented with high antibacterial lactic acid bacteria Lactobacillus homohiochii B21 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides C16. Naengmyon-broth were made with beef broth and Dongchimi-juice fermented with lactic acid bacteria and the changes in viable cell counts of the inoculated pathogens in Naengmyon-broths were investigated during storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$ and 1$0^{\circ}C$. In Naengmyon-broth of 100% Dongchimi-juice stored at 2$0^{\circ}C$ the numbers of Listeria monocyto-genes and Escherichia coli O157:H7 were rapidly decreased from 106CFU/ml to 106CFU/ml in 8 hours and 40 hours respectively. In Naengmyon-broth containing 50% Dongchimi-juice their numbers were also rapidly decreased though the decreasing rates were not so fast as those in 1005 Dongchimi-juice. In Naengmyon-broth containing 10% Dongchimi-juice the growths of the two pathogens were markedly inhibited compared with those in 100% beef broth though some growths were occurred in early phase. But in Naengmyon-broth of 100% beef broth their growths were very fast from early. Antibacterial ac-tivity of the Dongchimi-juice was more distinct at 2$0^{\circ}C$ than at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and was more active against Listeria monocytogenes than against Escherichia coli 157:H7.

The anti-adipogenic effect of dongchimi nano juice prepared using a nano-filtering process was investigated by measuring leptin and glycerol levels and the expression of a peroxisome proliferator-activated $receptor-\gamma\;(PPAR\gamma)$ gene as indicators of lipid accumulation or lipolysis. Red pepper powder, seeds of red pepper, garlic, and ginger were added in the preparation of dongchimi. Dongchimi was fermented to reach the optimal fermentation period, followed by nano-filtration in the range of $0.0005\sim0.1\;{\mu}m$. The lactic acid bacteria of dongchimi nano juice were removed completely by a nano-filtering process. Treatment of dongchimi nano juice induced glycerol release in the 3T3-L1 adipocytes and decreased the mRNA expression level of $PPAR\gamma$. These results suggested that dongchimi nano juice may enhance lipolysis and modulate adipogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the effect of Dongchimi juice containing kimchi Lactobacillus as an oral hygiene agent and to compare it with that of chlorhexidine solution (0.12% dilution). Methods: This study employed a pretest-posttest experimental design in which a single group of patients was exposed to two different treatments over a period of time. The study included 32 patients hospitalized at a longterm care hospital in Korea. Data were collected between August 12, 2016 and September 28, 2016. The patients first used chlorhexidine solution as an oral care agent for 1 week. After an interval of 2 weeks, they used Dongchimi juice for 1 week. Each agent was applied 2 times a day depending on the protocol. The oral status of the patients was measured using Beck's Oral Exam Guide (OEG) scores. The number of pathogens in the oral cavity was counted by culture, and the patients' subjective satisfaction score for each oral agent was measured using a visual analogue scale. T-test and Mann-Whitney test were performed to identify significant differences between Dongchimi juice and chlorhexidine solution by using PASW Statistics for Windows, Version 18.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The OEG score was not statistically different with the use of chlorhexidine solution and Dongchimi juice. However, decreasing number of pathogens and the subjective satisfaction score were higher with Dongchimi juice than with the chlorhexidine solution. Conclusion: These findings support the use of Dongchimi juice containing kimchi Lactobacillus as an oral hygiene agent for Korean patients.

In order to screen lactic acid bacterial starter having high antibacterial activity and giving good flavor in Dongchmi for Naengmyon antibacterial activity and acid producing ability of 24 strains of Kimchi lactic acid bacteria were tested. Among 24 strains tested Leuconostoc mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16, Leu. paramesenteroides C18 Lactobacillus bavaricus B01, B06, C19, C32 Lac. homohiochii B21 and B22 showed high antibacterial activity and their antibacterial activities were more active against Listeria monocytogenes and Staphylococcus aureus than against Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. The odors of Dongchimi-juices fermented with Leu. mesenteroides or Leu. paramesenteroides were more favorable than those with Lac. bavaricus or Lac. homohiochii. But the odors of Naengmyon-broths which were made with each Dongchimi-juice were not significantly different each other. In consideration of antibacterial ac-tivity and flavor of Dongchimi-juice two strains of lactic acid bacteria Lac. homohiochii B21 and Leu. mes-enteroides subsp. mesenteroides C16 were finally screened out as Dongchimi starters.

Development of an effective method for the preparation of dongchimi juice was investigated by addition of NaCl, sucrose and hydrolytic enzymes before fermentation and addition of dongchimi juice during fermentation. The Chinese radish was ground and suspended in water (1:1, w/v) with addition of spices of garlic, green onion and ginger followed by fermentation at $25^{\circ}C$. Increase in NaCl concentration of brinning solution from 1.0 to 5.0% resulted in a significant decrease in the rates of pH decrease and acidity increase. The sugar addition resulted in a faster changes of them, particulary after 24 hours at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermentation rate was also greatly improved by enzymatic hydrolysis with using viscozyme, a commercial polysaccharides hydrolyzing enzyme, before fermentation. When the fermented juices of two stage (pH 5.4 and pH 4.4) were added up to 15% before (pH 5.4 juice) and during (pH 4.4 juice) fermentation, the initial and second stage of fermentation were significantly improved. Therefore a method of addition of sugar, hydrolytic enzymes and dongchimi juice before or during fermentation was suggested for dongchimi juice preparation.
