This study is on the changing pattern of fish-and-shellfish uses during the last two thirds of Chosun period on the premise that they are influenced by development of fishing technology. With a literary approach, this paper researches how fish-and-shellfish production and consumption pattern changed, especially in relation to technological development of fisheries. First, we examine into the changes of fishery production. And next, we analyze the kind and cooking method of fish-and-shellfish in [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang](1670) and [Gyu-hap-chong-seo](1815). The analysis of two books revealed that there were significant differences in fish-and-shellfish uses. Because the two books were written with a gap of 145 years and the development of fishing technology and remarkable changes of fishery production affected on the fish-and-shellfish uses. Due to primitive fishing tools and skills, fresh-water and reverse-river-fish and shellfish had been caught in substantial amount until the middle ages of Chosun period. As a result, the availability of seafood were limited extremely even in the upper classes. These situations are evidenced by the analysis of [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang]. Only 12 kinds of fish-and-shellfish are described in [Eum-sik-di-mi-bang]. Most of the sesfoods is mollusc which is easy to catch. As for the salt-water fish, dried cod and dried herring were mentioned. Mullet, the reverse-water-fish, is used most frequently. Only one kind of 'Hoe', which needs extreme freshness, is described. This means that the use of fresh fish-and-shellfish was very limited to some kinds which could be caught near the village. As the netting fishery began to be developed in the 18th century, the production of some salt-water fishes, such as anchovy, shrimp, yellow corvina, pollack, and herring, had increased remarkably to make marine resources more available. Small fish, such as anchovy and shrimp were preserved as 'Jeot-gal' and sold nationwide. Therefore, 'Jeot-gal' and seafood could be used in Kimchi around this time and had a deep influence on the change of Kimchi in taste and nutrition. In [Gyu-hap-chong-seo], 33 kinds of fish-and-shellfish are described. Including cod and herring, 17 kinds of sea water fish and mollusc are mentioned. Some of these are consumed in fresh state, neither as dried nor as salted. Because the merchants promoted the transport of seafoods to other regions according to the growth of commercial economy. As a result the diet of the people could be enriched by the various seafoods.

Photostimulated luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) analyses were conducted for the detection of different gamma-irradiated dried fishes (mussel, squid, beka squid, mitra squid, plaice, and saury) at 0, 1, 5 and 10 kGy. For TL analysis, the contaminating silicate minerals were obtained by density separation or acid hydrolysis treatment. PSL determinations indicated that all the non-irradiated samples showed PSL photon counts/60 s (PCs) lower than 700 PCs (negative), but the irradiated mussel sample at 5 and 10 kGy were only possibility identified showing higher than 5000 PCs (positive). Irrespective of sample kinds and methods of mineral separation, all the non-irradiated samples showed TL glow curves in low-intensity with a maximum peak only after $250^{\circ}C$. However, all the irradiated samples produced TL glow curves in high intensity with a maximum peak particularly in the temperature range of 1$150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$. In conclusion, more distinguishable TL results [glow curve, TL ratio ($TL_1/TL_2$)] were obtained from the marker minerals separated by acid hydrolysis rather than density method.

In this study, the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, E. coli, total coliform and S. aureus of seasoned dried fishes (SDF) in Korea were investigated. A total of 81 SDF samples were purchased randomly from 28 stores. Contamination range of total aerobic bacteria, total coliform and S. aureus were 150~1,700,000, 10~31,000 and 10~220 CFU/g, respectively. E. coli was detected in only one samples in the qualitative test. We have analyzed quantitatively Staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE-type A, C and D) produced by S. aureus contaminated in SDF using a TECRA kit and standard curve. The curve equation was Y = 0.1499 * X + 0.1183 and maximum amount of SEs in SDF was 0.71 ng/ml. Reduction speed of S. aureus in SDF stored at $37^{\circ}C$ was the highest among the samples stored for 8 days at different temperature of 7, 18 and $37^{\circ}C$. On the basis of the results, SDF in Korea can be contaminated by a variety of pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, precautionary measures are necessary for consumer protection, including the improvement of sanitary conditions in the processing plants in Korea.

Changes in lipid components of Gul-bi, salted-dried yellow corvenia, during processing and storage were studied. Raw fishes contained $6.7\%$ total lipid (TL) which consisted of $83.3\%$ neutral lipid (NL), $6.5\%$ glycolipid (GL) and $10.2\%$ phospholipid (PL), and salted-dried sample at 30 days storage contained $11.1\%$ TL which consisted of $86.1\% NL, $7.1\%$ GL and $6.8\%$ PL. The NL was mainly consisted of trigly ceride (TG), free sterol (FS), free fatty acid (FFA), and the main lipids in PL were phosphatidyl choline (PC), phosphatidly ethanolamine (PE) and sphingomyelin (SPM). The contents of TG, PC, PE decreased, while that of FFA, SPM increased during processing and storage. Total fatty acid contents of raw fish, salted sample, salted-dried sample (product) and product at 30/days of storage were 847.9, 764.0, 633.5 and 588.mg/g-lipid, respectively, taking $C_{23:0}$ as the internal standard material. Most fatty acid con tents of TL revealed a tendency to decrease during processing and storage, highly unsaturated fatty acid such as $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5}$, decreased largely. The major fatty acids in TL, NL, GL and PL were generally $C_{16:0},\;C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{22:6}. Percentage of $C_{16:1},\;C_{18:1}$ in NL and GL and GL are higher than those in PL, while $C_{22:6},\;C_{20:5},\;C_{20:4}$. Peroxide value in salted-dried sample is 121.6 meq/kg and decreased rapidly with storage period, carbonyl value and brown pigment formation showed tendency of increase during processing and storage.

Proessing conditions for fermented and dried sauces with the underutilized fishes were investigated. Hair tail, gizzard shad, and kangdale were hydrolyzed at $60^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours using $4\%$ Alcalase, and their hydrolysates were separted by molecularporous membrane. The hydrolytic ratios of hair tail, gizzard shad, and kangdale were estimated to be $84.2\%$, $83.6\%$ and $85.1\%$, respectively. Amino nitrogen recoveries were determind to be $73.1\~73.9\%$ by a membrane with molecular weight cutoff 100 dalton and $91.7\~92.5\%$ by a membrane with 500 dalton. Ultrafiltration was very efficient means for removing bitter taste. With the additions of $2\%$ glucose, $4\%$ lactose and $4\%$ skim milk, product yields of hair tail, gizzard shad, and kangdale were determind to be $16.4\%,\;17.2\%$ and $17.0\%$, respectively. Water adsorption rates of hair tail and kangdale showed $5.0\~9.2\%$ and $5.5\~9.6\%$, respectively, under Aw 0.52$\~$0.94. Contents of total nitrogen in the fermented and dried sauces prepared with hair tail, gizzard shad and kangdale were $3.9\%,\;4.1\%$ and $3.7\%$, respectively, and those of amino nitrogen were $3.2\%,\;3.4\%$ and $3.1\%$, respectively. In the fermented and dried sauces prapared with hair tail, gizzard shad and kangdale, the hygroscopities at Aw 0.88 were $6.9\%,\;7.5\%$ and $6.8\%$, respectively, and solubilities under dissolved in water for 30 minutes were $84.6\%,\;83.6\%$ and $93.8\%$, respectively.

This research is to investigate the changes in Mercury content of fishes, washed with times by the flowing water or immersed into the acetic acid solutions with different densities (1%, 3% and 5%), after contaminating them artificially on purpose, in the solutions with inorganic mercury. The results were summarized as follow: 1. Average values of mercury content in sand-fish and sardine, as a dried ones, which had not been treated by the mercurial solutions, were 0.027 ppm and 0.020 ppm, respectively. 2. According to the changes, with times, in contained by the flowing water, after immersed into 1 ppm $HgCl_2$ solution for 24 hours, The sand-fish washed for 9 minutes had the least of Mercury, which is about 25% of contained quantity of Mercury of those not cleansed. While the sardines cleansed for 3 minutes had the least of Mercury, which is about 77% of contained quantity of Mercury of those not cleansed. 3. According to the changes in contained quantity of the samples treated by the acetic acid solutions with different densities, the sand-fish treated by 3% acetic acid solution had the least value of remains, which was reduced by 64%, in comparision with that of fish cleansed for 1 minute, while the sardines, treated by 1% acetic acid solution had the least amount of remains, which was reduced by 16% in comparision with that of fish, cleansed for 1 minute.

For the purpose of obtaining basic data which can be applied to processing of retort pouched shell-fishes, retort pouched seasoned baby clam was prepared. After sand and mud were removed, and then steamed baby clams were shucked. Baby clam meats were seasoned with the mixed seasoning powder containing $3\%$ of sugar, $2.5\%$ of salt, $12\%$ of sorbitol, $0.5\%$ of monosodium glutamate and $10\%$ of smoke flavor, and then dried at $35-40^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours. After dried, the meats were vacuum packed in plastic film bag (polyester/nylon/unoriented polyproylene; $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}m/50{\mu}m,\;15{\times}17cm$), and sterilized for 12 minutes in a hot water circulating sterilzer at $120^{\circ}C$, The factors such as pH, VBN, moisture content water activity, color value (L, a, b), texture, TBA value and viable bacterial count of products were determined during storage at room temperture ($20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$). The results showed that the product could be preserved in a good condition for 120 days at $20{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. Judging from the scores of sensory evaluation on flavor, the product added smoke flavor as seasoning was the most desirable.

A study on the color changes of fish meat during drying was conducted using fishes with different lipid contents, such as Alaska pollack as lean fish, conger eel as white fleshed fatty fish, and sardine as dark fleshed fatty fish. The fish meat was dried in a forced air dryer for 20 hours at 40, 55 and $70^{\circ}C$, The air velocity was 0.4 m/sec and the relative humidity of air was controlled to a constant value in the range of 10 to $50\%$. The color changes were evaluated with the brown color densities developed by lipid oxidation and Maillard reaction. The predominant reaction for the brown color developed during drying was lipid oxidation, The more the lipid content of fish and the higher the drying temperature were, the more violent the oxidative reaction of Lipid was. The rate of lipid oxidation during drying at 40 and $55^{\circ}C$ was affected by the relative humidity of air and was the slowest around $30\%$. But no remarkable influence of relative humidity on the rate of lipid oxidation could be confirmed during drying at $70^{\circ}C$. It seemed that the rate of lipid oxidation at higher temperature was more sensitive to the temperature than the relative humidity of air. Maillard reaction showed not so significant influence on the color changes of fish meat during drying. The rate of reaction was increased with increasing relative humidity of air in the range of 10 to $50\%$.

We investigated food preservation hurdles used for Korean traditional side dishes. As a first step of the research preparation and cooking recipes of the side dishes were surveyed, which are commonly used in Korean households. As next step, compositional and microbial quality attributes were measured onto the samples collected from the market. Antimicrobial ingredient added in the preparation are reasoned to work as important hurdles based on the scientific principles. Heating processes such as blanching, boiling, braising, hard-boiling and frying help to keep the produce decontamination or water activity adjustment. Measured salt contents of most side dishes were in the range of 1-5% with those of salt-preserved vegetables being higher. pH values were 4.7-6.4 with those of salt-preserved vegetables being lower and those of hard boiled fishes being higher. Soluble solids of braised or hard-boiled dishes were usually above $40^{\circ}Brix$, while those of blanched and seasoned vegetables had lower values. Water activity values were 0.93-0.95 for seasoned vegetables and 0.77-0.88 for hard-boiled or semi dried beans and seafoods. Product with processing steps of braising or blanching showed lower bacterial load of 102-104 cfu/g, while seasoned or salt-preserved vegetables and seafoods had aerobic bacterial count above 106 cfu/g. Korean traditional side dishes were found to apply the appropriate combinations of heating preparation process, water activity and pH adjustment and salting, providing the required preservation properties.
