To produce low salt fermented anchovy by an accelerated method with Asp. oryzae and Bacillus sp. koji and change of physicochemical properties in the fermentation during 60 days were examined. The contents of moisture, crude protein, ash and salinity of salted anchovy changed little during the fermentation with 62.5~63.8%, 12.0~14.1%, 12.8~13.8%, and 12.8~13.8%, respectively. but crude lipid decreased from 15.5~15.8% initially to 13.1~13.9% finally. The p during the fermentation decreased slowly until day 50 and increased afterwards. Acidity increased remarkably on day 10 and changed little afterwards. This increase in acidity was particularly observed in the use of Asp. oryzae koji. Amino nitrogen contents sharply increased until day 20 wit 686.0~756.0mg% and then increased slowly. Ammonia nitrogen contents in the use of koji increased until day 40 or 50 and decreased after that ; while those without koji steadily increased until day 60. The TBA values for all the samples reached the highest point on day from 20 to 30 and decreased afterwards. The TBA values and ammonia nitrogen contents were higher in Bacillus sp. koji than in Asp. oryzae koji. The alcohol contents of anchovy paste a little decreased during 10 days, increased slowly after that until day 50, and then decreased. The content of alcohol was higher in the use of koji than in the non koji.

Quality of commercial salted and fermented fish sauce was evaluated through physicochemical and sensory analyses. Moisture contents of all samples tested except one salted and fermented sandlance sauce were acceptable. Salinity of some samples was higher than that of Korean food standard. Higher contents of total nitrogen (TN) and amino nitrogen (AN) resulted in higher levels of specific gravity, pure extract and solid of some samples. Two salted and fermented anchovy and three salted and fermented sandlance sauce samples showed lower levels of TN and AN than those of Korean food standards. TN, AN, specific gravity, pure extract, solid, and volatile basic nitrogen levels highly correlated with sensory scores, indicating that these values could be used as quality parameters to evaluate salted and fermented fish sauce quality.

To investigate the quality properties of functional anchovy fish sauce added with raw sea tangle, 2%, 5%, and 10% (w/w) of sea tangle was added to 25% (w/w) salted anchovy and then fermented at $20^{\circ}C$. During fermentation period, the amino nitrogen contents were increased at all groups and the highest contents were at 450 days of fermentation with $11.99{\pm}0.08$, $12.51{\pm}0.08$, and $11.95{\pm}0.08mg/mL$ at 2%, 5%, and 10% addition of raw sea tangle, respectively. After later, the contents were keeping at a similar level. VBN contents were continuously increased until 270 days of fermentation with $208.10{\pm}3.50$, $210.00{\pm}4.10$, $215.15{\pm}1.50mg/100ml$ at 2%, 5%, 10% addition of raw sea tangle, respectively. Alginic acid recovery was gradually increased in fermentation duration, showed the highest concentration at 540 days of fermentation with 67.00, 67.25, 67.90% at 2%, 5% and 10% addition of raw sea tangle, respectively. Dietary fiber recovery was rapidly increased at the beginning of fermentation and then decreased slowly as the fermentation is progressed. The highest recovery was at 30 days with 18.7, 18.6, and 17.9%, and the lowest was at 360 days with 8.7 and 11.1% at 2 and 10% addition of raw sea tangle, respectively, and 450 days with 11.4% at 5% sea tangle. The lowest fucoidan contents were exhibited at 30 days of fermentation with 0.07% at both of 2% and 5% addition, and 90 days with 0.10% at 10% addtion of sea tangle. The highest fucoidan contents were 270 days showing 0.24, 0.25, and 0.23% at 2, 5, and 10% addition, respectively. All groups adding different sea tangle concentration were not significantly different at all properties. However, the newly developed products were sufficient to the standard guideline of Korea Food Drug Adminstration. The best processing process of functional anchovy fish sauce in addition with raw sea tangle is 2% addition of raw sea tangle and fermented more than 450 days. The results obtained in this study indicated that the fish sauce added with sea tangle is superior in taste, functions to traditional fish sauce and could be competitive fishery fermented food.

This study was undertaken to determine thermodynamic characteristics of B. subtilis p-4 and B. licheniformis p-5 proteases isolated from fermented anchovy paste. $K_m$ values of two proteases for casein as a substrate were 0.38mM in p-4 protease and 0.18mM in p-5 protease, respectively. Denaturation constants($K_D$) of p-4 and p-5 proteases were $12.2{\times}10^{-5}/sec\;and\;19.0{\times}10^{-5}/sec\;at\;40^{\circ}C,\;and\;35.7{\times}10^{-5}/sec\;and\;46.3{\times}10^{-5}/sec\;at\;50^{\circ}C$, respectively. Activation energies($E_a$) of p-4 and p-S pmteases were 19.6 Kcal/mole and 15.2kcal/mole, respectively. Free energy of activation(${\Delta}G^*$), activation enthalpy(${\Delta}H^*$) and activation entropy(${\Delta}S^*$) at $40^{\circ}C$ were 23.21Kcal/mole, 18.98Kcal/mole and -13.50 eu, respectively for p-4 protease and 22.93Kcal/mo1e, 14.58Kcal/mole and -26.68 eu, respectively for p-5 protease. The major amino acids in p-4 protease(151 residues of amino acid) were Gly, Glu, Pro, Asp, Ser, Ala, Lys and Leu, while those in p-5 protease(247 residues of amino acid) were Gly, Glu, Asp, Ala and Leu. It may be concluded that heat denaturation of two proteases showed liner regression curve and p-5 protease was more sensitive to heat than p-4 protease.

This study was conducted to evaluate the functional characteristics and safety properties of lactic acid bacteria isolated from salt-fermented anchovy, a putative probiotic candidate. The following isolates were identified by biochemical profiles, carbohydrate fermentation patterns, and 16S rRNA sequencing: Enterococcus faecium AJ06, Leuconostoc mesenteroides AJ13, Pediococcus halophilus AJ22, Lactobacillus sakei AJ29, and Pediococcus pentosaceus AJ35. The strains AJ06, AJ22, AJ29 exhibited high tolerance to simulated gastric and intestinal juices and were able to produce bile salt hydrolase on MRS agar plates supplemented with taurocholic acid and/or taurodeoxycholic acid. The strains AJ22 and AJ29, which demonstrated high adherence to Caco-2 cells and resistance to various antibiotics, effectively inhibited the growth of food-borne pathogens by the production of antimicrobial substances. These strains did not show ${\alpha}-$ or ${\beta}$-haemolysis on blood agar. Furthermore, biogenic amines in MRS broth containing the precursor amino acids were not mutagenic in Salmonella Typhimurium TA98 and TA100.

A study on the processing method of anchovy hydrolysate paste (AHP) was carried out to improve the sensory quality of salted and fermented fish. Homogenized whole anchovy was hydrolyzed using commercial pretenses, Complex enzyme-2000 (CE, Pacific Chem. Co.) and Alcalase (AL, Novo), in a cylindrical vessel with 4 baffle plates and 6-bladed turbine impeller. Optimal pH, temperature, and enzyme concentration for the hydrolysis with CE and AL were $7.0,\;52^{\circ}C,\;7\%$, and $8.0,\;60^{\circ}C,\;6\%$, respectively. The rational amount of water for homogenization, agitation speed, and hydrolyzing time were $100\%\;(w/w)$, 100 rpm, and 210 min, respectively. To make the hydrolysate to paste type, it was effective to mix the additives, such as starch, soybean protein, agar, and carrageenan gum to the hydrolysate 5 min before the end of boiling at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Minimal NaCl concentration for long-term preservation was $15\%$, and this could be reduced to $12\%$ by adding $5\%$ of KCl. yield of the AHP based on the total nitrogen content was $94.6\~97.0\%,\;and\;86.0\~89.2\%$, of the nitrogen was amino nitrogen. Salinity, pH and histamine content of the AHP prepared with $12\%$ NaCl and $5\%$ KCl were $9.3\~9.9\%,\;6.1\~6.2$, and below 13 mg/100 g, respectively. The AHP was stable at $26{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ for 60 days on bacterial growth, and addition of $0.05\%$ of rosemary (Herbalox) extract was effective to inhibit the lipid oxidation of the AHP during storage.

The quality characteristics of the Korean traditional salt-fermented fish sauces, the traditional anchovy sauce (TAS) and the sandlance sauce(TKS) were evaluated comparing to the commercial anchovy sauce (CAS) and sandlance sauce (CKS). The acidity was higher in TKS than in TAS, whereas the contents of VBN, total-N and amino-N were higher levels in TAS. In color values, L and b values in TAS were generally higher than those in TKS, whereas a and ${\Delta}E$ values were higher in TKS. The contents of total free amino acids in TAS and TKS were $12.40\;g\%$ (w/v) and $9.549 g\%$ (w/v), respectively. The contents or six amino acids, alanine, glutamic acid, leucine, isoleucine, valine and Iysine were higher in TAS, whereas the contents of arginine, glutamic acid, leucine, alanine and valine were higher in TKS. Nucleotides such as IMP and hypoxanthine were principal components in both TAS and TKS. The nitrogen related compounds, TMAO, TMA and total creatinine were determined to be $108.8\;mg\%$ (w/v), $60.5\;mg\%$ (w/v), $62.4\;mg\%$ (w/v) in TAS, and those in TKS were $60.1\;mg\%$ (w/v), $24.1\;mg\%$ (w/v), $67.6\;mg\%$ (w/v), respectively.

This study was conducted to ivestigate the quality of modeled chinese-cabbage Kimchi. The mutual action of sub-ingredients and optimum mixing conditions were examined by analyses of pH, acidity, content of vitamins, carotenes, number of total microorganism, and Lactobacilli, the activities of softening related to enzymes (polygalacturonase and ${\beta}$-galactosidase), and sensory quality during fermentation. The result about the mutual action of red pepler powder and garlic showed that the pH was decresed as concentration of garlic was higher and that of red peppler powder became lower. Kimchi had unpleasant taste and undesirable odor when the adding ratio of the peper powder and garlic was unbalanced. As the concentration of garlic became higher, the content of vitamin C in Kimchi tissue decreased while that of vitamin C in Kimchi juice increased. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and carotene increased as the concentration of garlic became lower. The optimum mixing ratio of red pepper powder and garlic evaluated by overall eating quality was 4.66% and 3.45%, respectively. The result about the mutual action of ginger and green onion was that pH became higher as the concentration of ginger was 1.84% and that of green onion was 5.96%. The intensity of fresh taste and odor became stronger as the concentration of ginger increaed to 2.76% and that of green onion decreased to 2.98%. The balance of sour, salty and hot taste became better as the concentration of ginger increased and that of green onion decreased. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 2.94% in ginger ＋ 2.78% in green onion. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and C were high in this condition. The result about the mutual action of leek and salted anchovy juice was that pH became lower as the concentration of leek increased and that of salted anchovy juice decreased. Sour, hot and sweet tastes were good in the condition of leek 12%, salted anchovy juice 4.69%. Palatable, fresh taste and odor became weaker when the one of both sub-ingredients was too much little. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall easting quality was 9.76% in leek ＋ 7.32% in salted anchovy juice. The contents of vitamin B1, B2, C and carotene were high in this condition and other sensory qualities were good. The result about the mutual action of salt and sugar was that pH became lower as the concentration of sugar became higher and that of salt became lower. The sweet taste was reduced of hot taste than salty taste. Palatable and fresh tastes were desirable when Kimchi fermented with less salt and more sugar. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 3.29% in sugar ＋ 4.80% in salt. The contents of vitamin B1, B1, C and carotene were high in this condition. The result of model Kimchi fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ was that the number of Lactobacilli in model Kimchi was higher than that of in control Kimchi. The fermentation period was extended under pH 4.0 and the contents of vitamin B1, B1,C and carotene were high through the whole edible period. The activity of polygalacturonase was low, but that of ${\beta}$-galactosidase was high during fermentation.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of the kinds and the levels of salted and fermented seafoods, shrimp and juice of anchovy, on the properties of kimchi during fermentation. There were no significant differences in pH and contents of total acid, reducing sugar, and organic acid examined except lactic acid contents among the kimchi samples at the same fermentation period. Until four days of fermentation, kimchi containing higher level of salted and fermented anchovy juice tended to have greater number of total microorganisms and of Leuconostoc genus microorganisms than the other kimchi samples. Sensory characteristics were not significantly different among the samples at the same fermentation period. significant decrease in pH and in reducing sugar content, and increase in total acid content were noticed in all the kimchi samples during fermentation. This was more marked in kimchi samples containg salted and fermented seafoods. Contents of malic and succinic acids decreased while those of actic and acetic acids increased with longer fermentation. There were significant changes in the numbers of microorganisms during fermentation. Carbonic mouthfeel, salty taste, sour taste and staled flay or of all the kimchi samples increased while firmness and crispness decreased with extended fermentation.
