The study examined changes in the quality characteristics of Aralia continentalis Kitagawa (AcK) leaf-kimchi during storage prepared with different seasonings. The result exhibited practically no significant differences in pH, acidity, and salinity among the various samples made with three different combinations of seasonings. In AcK leaf-kimchi, lightness and redness increased slowly at the early period of storage and then decreased rapidly after four months when the lactic acid bacterial count reached the highest level with fermentation, whereas yellowness increased. The total bacterial count and the lactic acid bacterial count increased slowly reaching the highest level after four months, then decreased and maintained at a constant level. Hardness of AcK continuously increased and then decreased after attaining maximum value during ripening. The sensory characteristics of the AcK in the whole period of storage was highly acceptable in terms of color, smell, bitterness, texture, and general preference regardless of the suggested combinations of seasonings.
