This study was conducted to investigate the chemical and microbiological properties of taurine added Kimchi during fermentation at 20℃. A control group was salted with 10% brine solution, and a taurine group was salted with 10% brine solution including 5 ％ taurine and was divided into two groups depending on added taurine concentration after brining; 0% taurine (Taurine I) and 3 ％ taurine added (Taurine II). The pH of Kimchi was markedly decreased over time in all groups and there was no significant difference between groups. Total acidity was the highest in Taurine II followed by Taurine I and. control group during five days of fermentation. The number of total microbe and lactic acid bacteria showed increase similarly in all groups.
