Abstract Lactic acid bacteria were isolated from kimchi collected from Gangwon province and strains resistant to salt
tolerance, acid resistance, and low temperature were selected for use as a kimchi manufacturing starter. The selected
strain was identified through 16S rRNA sequencing and named Leuconostoc mesenteroides AFY-3. As a result of
measuring physicochemical properties such as pH, total acidity, and hardness, the kimchi added with starter strain at
2.0% level showed better physicochemical properties such as degree of softening than the control.
