| − | ''Kimchi'' is probably the most important processed food product in Korea. It is an essential dish, eaten at most mealtimes. Production is estimated at over one million tons, mainly at household level. Daily consumption is estimated at 150 to 250 grams per person.

| − | ''Kimchi'' is a general name for a range of closely related fermented products. It is similar to Sauerkraut in Europe and the United States. There are numerous variations of ''kimchi'' depending on the production technique. The main pickled cabbage ''kimchis'' are ''tongbaechu-kimchi tongkimchi'' and ''bossam-kimchi.'' This section refers to ''kimchi'' produced from cabbage, the following section deals with pickled radish products.

| − | The prepared cabbage is placed in a salt solution (8-15%) for two to seven hours to obtain 2.0-4.0% (w/w) salt content in the cabbages. This is then rinsed several times with fresh water and drained to remove extra water by centrifugation or by standing still.

| − | ''Kimchi'' fermentation is carried out by various micro-organisms present in the raw materials and ingredients of ''kimchi''. Among the two hundred bacteria isolated form kimchi, the important micro-organisms in ''kimch''i fermentation are known to be ''Lactobacillus plantarum, L. Brevis, Streptococcus faecalis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides'' and ''Pediococcus pentosaceus.''

| − | After fermentation, the product can be left to mature for several weeks if refrigeration is available. If stored in the warmth, the ''kimchi'' deteriorates rapidly.
