EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Kimchi, also spelled kimchee or gimchi, is a traditional fermented Korean side dish made of vegetables with a variety of seasonings. It is often described as "spicy" or "sour". In traditional preparation Kimchi was often allowed to ferment underground in jars for months at a time. It is Korea's national dish, and there are hundreds of varieties made with a main vegetable ingredient such as napa cabbage, radish, scallion, or cucumber. Kimchi is also a main ingredient for many Korean dishes such as kimchi stew, kimchi pancake, kimchi soup, and kimchi fried rice. Kimchi is a traditional, fermented Korean food that is prepared through a series of processes, including pretreatment of oriental cabbage or radish, brining, blending with various spices and other ingredients, and fermentation. The characteristics of kimchi differ depending on the kimchi varieties, raw materials used, process, fermentation, and preservation methods. However, kimchi has typical

    Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and, as an antioxidant, helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from the other pigments. You will then use TLC to evaluate the column chromatography separation. Note: because lycopene is light-sensitive, prevent any unnecessary exposure to light.…

    The common organic compounds provide us with nutrients are sugars and starches, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. In this lab, qualitative tests are performed to identify the presence of organic compounds in food using indicators, chemical substances that react in a certain way when a particular substance is present. We put one indicator into the each test tube containing different solutions at a time to see what organic compound is present. The color change in the indicator tells that cornstarch contains starch; honey, lettuce, and fruit juice contain sugar; corn oil contain lipid; and by comparing with the standard for positive identification of the substance, unknown is tested to have protein just as egg white. The result tells what nutrients are in the food, and how to test the unknown substances.…

    These days many people know kimchi is one of the healthist food in the world. We could find kimchi most of supermarkets around the world. Although people know it, still many people do not know how to serve kimchi well. So, I would like to introduce the best way to serve kimchi as Koreans do. Firstly, the typical way to serve kimchi is with steamed rice, rameyon and BBQ meats. Kimchi is the essential side dish when Korean have meal. It is even compared sambal to Malaysians. Also serve with cool kimchi. That's why Koreans always keep kimchi in refrigerator. Now, whenever you eat something as meal, you may serve Kimchi. They will match perfectly. Secondly, kimchi fried rice(Bokkeumbap) is another common food when Koreans serve kimchi. Specially it is a great way to cook this when you have leftover rice and ripe kimchi. Just add finely chopped Kimchi to the usual your fried rice ingredients. I recommend kimchibokkeumbap to those who never tried to eat kimchi because of kimchi smell. Thirdly, we could serve kimchi stew(Kimchijjigae) is also one of common stew which Koreans like. We use more fermented and ripe Kimchi when we cook this. Sliced kimchi and other ingredients on personal preferences like sausage, tofu and sliced spring onions put into a pot and all boil with water. It accompanied by several side dishes with streamed rice and served boiling hot in a stone pot. Once you try this, you will never forget this flavor. The last one, we could serve kimchi pancake(Kimchijeon). The main ingredients are ripe Kimchi and flour. The way of cooking is almost same when you cook egg omelette. It is usually served as an appetizer, snack or side dish. Kimchijeon is a folk dish that anyone could make easily at home in Korea without extra budget. I suggest to serve kimchijeon when your mood is not good. Your mood will change soon after eating this. I introduced the best way to serve kimchi. Kimchi itself, kimchi…

    Stages of Heating Sugar

    • 859 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Carbohydrate when heated results to a complex group of reactions in absence of nitrogen containing compounds. Such reaction is commonly known as caramelization. Sugars will show caramelization to a relatively high temperature. The browning of these carbohydrates is further facilitated by the presence of small amount of acid, salts of this acids, phosphates and metallic ions. Lack of moisture in the sugar molecule with formation of anhydro rings are actually caused by thermolysis. When double bonds are produced this leads to the development of unsaturated rings such as furans. The conjugated double bonds will then absorb light producing the brown color. Specific types of caramel colors, solubility and acidities are directed by some catalysts to increase the reaction. Mostly some of the unsaturated rings condense into polymers yielding the different colors.…

    Every culture has their own traditional food that they enjoy eating, and people from this culture bring their traditional food with them when they migrate to a different country.

Koreans eat soybean paste, soy sauce, chill paste which has soybean malt, salt, and chill pepper, and grilling beef. Koreans eat numerous of food that contain soybean, chili powder, paste, and salt in most of their food.…

    In summary, the articles researched were divided into four main categories. The categories all focused on something different. The categories were; the perception kids have on food, communities raising healthy kids, nutritional awareness and the school context. The first two articles had the common theme of how children view food and to find what children thought and felt about healthy food. The third article was aimed towards parents. The theme of this article was how many children live so close to school but yet parents take them to school. The researcher states that working as a community can help create healthy environments. The third main category focused on nutritional awareness. The three articles aimed…

    The hypothesis which states that the simpler the nature of substrate, the faster the rate of cellular respiration of yeast was tested using the smith fermentation tube method. The experiment used six smith fermentation tubes, distilled water and sugar substrates. It composed of six set-ups which used 15ml of 10% yeast suspension, 15 ml distilled water and 15 ml of their assigned sugar substrate namely: starch, lactose, sucrose glucose and fructose respectively. Set-up six was the controlled set-up and did not contain any sugar substrate. The opening of the tube was covered with a cotton ball to prevent oxygen from entering. The set-ups were then observed every five minutes for thirty minutes. The volume and rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) evolved was calculated and recorded. Results showed that set-up 2 which contained the sucrose substrate yielded the highest rate of cellular respiration in yeast (0.46 ml/min.) followed by glucose (0.34 ml/min.), fructose (0.17 ml/min.) and starch (0 ml/min), lactose (0 ml/min.) and distilled water (0 ml/min.) respectively. The hypothesis was rejected but due to the sources of errors conducted by the researchers and the facts presented by the anaerobic respiration equation and other sources, it was accepted and concluded that the simpler the nature of substrate, the faster the rate of cellular respiration of yeast.…

    Acidophile Bacteria

    Imagine a harsh winter with winds roaring outside and the shutters banging fiercely against the side of the house. Now imagine walking along a dessert as the sun beats down from above, and the glare from the sand is almost unbearable. Humans have adapted to these types of environments through technology and simplicities. Yet a microorganism calls places like these “home”. These microbes are called extremophiles, prospering in extreme environments where humans can’t. Barren or poisonous environments that other organisms would perish in tend to be the extremophile’s hot spots (Rothschild, 2001). They reach their full potential within these environments. Without these environments, lifecycles like reproduction wouldn’t take place at all. Extremophiles are wide spread and well diverse microorganisms. Lactobacillus acidophilus is only one of the many microorganisms that exist under conditions inadaptable to other life forms.…

    Fermentation is a process performed by cells in the absence of oxygen to produce small amounts of ATP. During this process the six-carbon sugar glucose is broken down into two molecules of the three-carbon organic acid, pyruvic acid, coupled with the transfer of chemical energy to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP).…
