The effects of processing conditions on the α-amylase activity of radish were investigated at various temperatures, pHs and drying conditions. The α-amylase activity of radish root was 3.1-fold higher than that of radish trunk. As the freeze-dried radish was incubated at various temperatures and pHs, α-amylase activity was stably maintained at pH range of 4~7 and temperature of 25~40℃. When radish was processed to kakdugi and danmooji, the residual α-amylase activity was 45.39% and 19.19%, respectively. Consequently, the α-amylase activity was greatly affected by processing conditions such as heat treatment and pH. It is suggested that radish should be processed at below 60℃ and at neutral to acidic pH condition.
