This study was conducted to investigate the effect of blanching on the quality characteristics of dandelion Kimchi. Experimental groups were divided BT-group (dandelion was blanched in the $3\%$ brine for 15 seconds at $100^{circ}C$, then salted in $8\%$ brine for 5 hours) and NT-group (dandelion was salted at $8\%$ brine for 5 hours). Changes in pH, acidity, color, number of total microbe and lactic acid bacteria, antioxidant activity and sensory quality were investigated during the fermentation at $10^{circ}C$. The pH of the BT- and NT-Kimchi maintained higher than 4.1 for 21-days fermentation, but that of BT-Kimchi was lower than that of NT-Kimchi. And also, the titrable acidity of BT-Kimchi was maintained higher than that of NT-Kimchi. $L^ast;value;and;b^ast$ value of BT-Kimchi were higher, while $a^ast$ value of BT-Kimchi was lower than that of NT-Kimchi. There was no significantly difference in total microbial count between BT- and NT-Kimchi, while number of the lactic acid bacteria in the BT-Kimchi was higher than that of BT-Kimchi. There was no significant difference in the antioxidant activity between BT- and NT-group during the fermentation. In the results of sensory evaluation of the dandelion Kimchi, toughness, color, flavor and overall quality were good in the BT-Kimchi, while the bitter taste showed relatively strong in the NT-Kimchi.
