ABSTRACT:
A Kimchi fermentation and/or storage control apparatus of a refrigerator includes at least one compartment for holding Kimchi; a heater for raising the temperature of the compartment to a predetermined fermentation temperature; a cooling device for lowering the temperature of the compartment to a predetermined storage temperature; a temperature setting and mode selecting section; a temperature sensing means for the compartment; and, a microprocessor for controlling the operations of the heating means and the cooling means according to the signals supplied to the temperature setting and mode selecting section and the temperature sensor means. The microprocessor previously stores in its memory the mathematical product of amount of the time, required to obtain the acidity level of Kimchi considered as the optimum fermentation condition at a given temperature, multiplied by the temperature as a "fermentation completion value". The microprocessor determines when the "fermentation completion value" is in accordance with the integral function value of the accumulated inner temperatures of the compartment in a given time interval.
