Effects of ultra-high pressure treatment on viable cell count and quality characteristics of low salt fermented anchovy under different operating conditions such as pressure$(200{\sim}500\;MPa)$, temperature$(20{\sim}50^{\circ}C)$ and treatment time$(5{\sim}20\;min)$ were investigated. Viable cell count decreased gradually with the increase of pressure and suddenly at 400 MPa. It also decreased by seven folds at $50^{\circ}C$ and logarithmically with the increase of treatment time. Peroxide value increased with the increase of pressure, temperature and treatment time, and temperature played a major role. Thiobarbituric acid value was higher by two folds in samples treated than in the untreated regardless of any conditions investigated. Volatile basic nitrogen was almost the same in all samples except the one at $50^{\circ}C$. The sample treated at greater than $30^{\circ}C$ under high hydrostatic pressure indicated higher value in amino nitrogen. Treatment at $20^{\circ}C/300$ MPa/15 min showed greater reductions in viable cell counts, remaining better quality of low salt fermented anchovy.

Low salt fermented anchovy was stored at $25^{\circ}C$ for a period of 20 days from the time of ultra-high pressure treatment under different operating conditions, such as magnitude of pressure($(200{\sim}500\;MPa)$, temperature$(20{\sim}50^{\circ}C)$ and treatment time$(5{\sim}20\;min)$ with viable cell count(VCC) and quality assessments conducted at regular intervals. VCC decreased logarithmically during storage. Lower values of VCC in the treated samples were observed compared to the untreated. A gradual increase in peroxide value was noticed during storage, compared to those of the untreated which showed a sudden rise. Thiobarbituric acid value decreased initially and remained at that level before rising almost exponentially between 12 and 20 days. Volatile basic nitrogen increased gradually during storage. Amino nitrogen remained almost constant up to 20 days, regardless of any conditions investigated. High pressure treatment maintained better quality during storage at $25^{\circ}C$ by reducing the viable cell count in low salt fermented anchovy.

This study was conducted to compare the food quality of commercial salt-fermented silver-stripe round herring (SFS) to that of commercial salt-fermented anchovy (SFA). The contents of moisture and crude protein of SFS were higher than those of SFA. However, the crude lipid and crude ash contents of SFS were lower than those of SFA. The salinity of SFS was 13.2%, which was lower than that of SFA. The taste value of SFS was 148.1, which was higher than that of SFA. The total amino acid content of SFS was 18.1 g/100 g and its major amino acids were glutamic acid (9.5%) and aspartic acid (8.1%). The contents of calcium, phosphorus and iron in SFS were 647 mg/100 g, 363 mg/100 g and 4.1 mg/100 g, respectively. Twenty six types of fatty acids were detected in SFS and the major components were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n-9 and 22:6n-3. The angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting and the antioxidative abilities of SFS were 50.0% and 1.15, respectively, which were similar to those of SFA. Sensory evaluation revealed that SFS had a superior taste and color to SFS, while to the flavor of two products was similar.

This study examined the development of a low-salt fermented seafood product using an ascidian (Halocynthia roretzi), and the optimum processing conditions and quality characteristics of the low-salt fermented ascidian (LSA). The optimum processing conditions for the LSA were as follows. The ascidian was shelled and its muscle sliced into 5 mm widths. This was soaked in a 10% salt and 1% sodium erythorbate solution for 20 min. The solution was drained and then the muscle was soaked in 0.1% sodium bisulfite solution for 1 min. To this was added a 1:1 mixture of anchovy sauce and rice gruel, and it was fermented at $5^{\circ}C$ for 15 days. The moisture content and salinity of the LSA were 75.0-75.4% and 8.0-8.5%, respectively. During salt-fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ for 20 days, the amino-N content of the LSA increased, and the texture softened gradually. The viable cell counts in early salt-fermentation were $4.2-4.5{\times}10^4CFU/g$, and this decreased gradually. The ratio of saturated fatty acids tended to increase in early salt-fermentation, while that of polyunsaturated fatty acids decreased slightly. Chemical experiments and sensory evaluation showed that the dipping treatment in 1% sodium erythorbate solution and 0.1% sodium bisulfite solution resulted in a good color and prevented browning of the salt-fermented ascidian meat. Moreover, adding anchovy sauce and rice gruel mixture improved the flavor of the LSA.

Various problems in fermented fish products have been a major obstacle to manufacture the product in large scale, which is mainly concerned with the food safety. In this review, salt-fermented anchovy was selected to elucidate the characteristics of microorganisms involved in fermentation; thereby, it is suggested for research areas to achieve the quality improvement of tile product. Different microorganisms were involved in fermentation of anchovy. Dominant species were reported to be Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Micrococcus sp., other microorganisms were Vibro sp., Clostridim sp., Serratia sp., Achromobacter sp., Streptococcus sp., Breuibacterium sp., Halobacterium sp., Flavobacterium sp., Corynebacterium sp., Acinetobacter sp., Sarcina sp., Staphylococcus sp., Torulopsis sp., and Saccharomyces sp. To standardize the quality of fermented fish products, screening and isolation of promising microorganisms should be carried out to develop different types of products; at the same time, proper sanitation control should be employed to keep the commercial value of the product by prolonging the shelf life.

N-Nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) is formed through reactions between dimethylamine (DMA) and nitrite. Jeotgal, a traditional Korean salted and fermented seafood, contains a large amount of DMA and is an ingredient of kimchi condiment. This study investigated the effects of amount and type of Jeotgal on changes in NDMA and its precursor contents during storage of kimchi. NDMA was found in all 23 Jeotgal samples, and DMA in nine salted and fermented shrimp samples showed levels ranging from 16.5 to 58.9 mg/kg (average of 30.9 mg/kg). The seven salted and fermented anchovy juice samples showed DMA levels ranging from 21.7 to 44.4 mg/kg (average of 34.5 mg/kg). Kimchi was assigned to one of the following five groups: kimchi without salted and fermented anchovy juice and salted and fermented shrimp (control), kimchi with small amount of salted and fermented anchovy juice (AK1), kimchi with large amount of salted and fermented anchovy juice (AK2), kimchi with small amount of salted and fermented shrimp (SK1), and kimchi with large amount of salted and fermented shrimp (SK2). SK2 had higher DMA content than SK1 during storage while AK2 had higher DMA content than AK1 after storage for 10 days. Nitrite contents of AK1 and SK1 were higher than those of AK2 and SK2 after storage for 20 days. NDMA content was significantly higher in SK2 than in SK1 after storage for 0 and 10 days, and NDMA content in AK2 was significantly higher compared to that in AK1 after storage for 0 days. The DMA and NDMA contents decreased in all kimchi samples during storage. The effects of amount and type of Jeotgal on DMA and NDMA contents were reduced after storage for 20 days. The results suggest that the content and type of Jeotgal have significant effects on formation of NDMA in kimchi.

Hydrolytic peptides of salted and fermented anchovy sauce, and anchovy actomyosin for the development of a rapid fermentation method with conventional tastes and flavors were studied. The optimal temperatures of crude enzymes isolated from anchor, liver and viscera of squid were 55, 40$\~$45 and $45\~60^{\circ}C$, respectively. Crude enzyme isolated from anchovy was more effective on hydrolysis of anchovy actomyosin than that from squid liver and viscera. But the crude enzyme from squid liver was less effective on NaCl than that from anchovy. Three peptides occurred in anchovy actomyosin hydrolyzed with crude enzymes from anchovy and squid liver for 30 min. Their molecular weight were determined by Superdex 200 gel chromatography as 10,800, 5,800 and 2,600 dalton. When anchovy sauce was hydrolyzed with crude enzymes of anchovy, squid liver and viscera, and Protamex during 70 days, ranges of their low molecular weight of hydrolyzed peptides were 300$\~$1,000dalton detected by Sephadex G-50 and their major amino acid compositions were glutamic acid, glycine and alanine, which was related with conventional tastes. Those amino acid compositions were similar to those of anchovy sauce hydrolyzed with squid liver, In the case of Protamex treatment, hydrolyzed peptides had high levels of isoleucine and leucine, being associated with the bitter, but a low level of glutamic acid.

This study was conducted to understand the quality characteristics of salt fermented anchovies with heat treatment by measuring their chemical compositions. The heat-treated and non-heat treated salt fermented anchovies contained, respectively, 63.21 and 66.51% of moisture, 2.24 and 2.12% of total nitrogen (TN), and 1,537 and 1,520 mg/100 g of amino nitrogen (AN). In addition, heat-treated and non-heat-treated salt fermented anchovies contained 127 and 134 mg/100 g of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), respectively. Moreover, measured the microbial level of heat-treated and non-heat-treated salt fermented anchovies was $2.58{\times}10^4$ and $3.61{\times}10^2$ CFU/mL, respectively. Also, the heat-treated and non-heat-treated salt fermented anchovies 3.65 and 0.30 units of protease activities, respectively. The total free amino acid contents in heat-treated and non-heat-treated salt fermented anchovies was 4,964 and 6,638 mg/100 g, respectively. The major free amino acid were glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, alanine, valine, isoleucine. Our results provide the characteristics of salt fermented anchovies and encourage their application for the food industry and cooking.

This study was undertaden to investigate the effect of salted anchovy during Puchukimchi fermentation, Puchukimchi is a kind of Korean kimchi made with Puchu(Allium odorum L.). For this purpose, the Puchukimchi with 10%, 15% and 30% salted anchovy was investigated by measuring physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics during fermentation at 5$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$ up to 60 days, In the palatable period, pH was remarkably decreased to the range of 4.8-5.16 and total acidity was increased 2-3 times more than that of initial period. Reducing sugar contents in Puchukimchi increased up to 22days and remarkably decreased. The changing pattern of vitamin C drawed sigmoidal curve, invreasing significantly in the palatable period. The content of lactic acid was a little in the initial fermentation period but increased 3-13 times more than that of the initial fermentation period in the palatable period. The content of malic acid and citric acid were decreased as the fermentation progressed. The contents of Ca, Mg and K was gradually decreased and Na was increased as the fermentation progressed in the same period. There were similiar changes in the number of lactic acid bacteria and total cell number. The score of overall taste, overall acceptability in evaluation during fermentation was high in order of 15%, 10%, 30% level of salt fermented anchovy.
