To investigate availability of color value as quality standard for grading of salt-fermented fish sauces, the effect of storage period, dilution ratios, additives (glucose, MSG, IMP) and pigments (caramel and tar) on the changes of color value were measured by spectrophotomeky. The highest absorbance was scanned at 453 nm in fish sauces (anchovy and northern sand lance) without regard to storage periods, dilution ratios, pigments and additives. Absorbance at 453 nm was gradually increased during storage in fish sauces, and absorbance of northern sand lance sauce was higher than that of anchovy sauce during fermentation. There were almost no differences according to concentration of additives in fish sauces added additives during storage. But in case of fish sauces added pigments, absorbance increase of fish sauces added tar pigment was faster than that of caramel pigment during storage. The results suggest that color value is inadequate as quality standard for grading of salt-fermented fish sauces.

Physicochemical and sensory properties of Kakdugi prepared with fermented northern sand lance sauce(Kakdugi-N) were compared with those of fermented anchovy sauce(Kakdugi-A) or shrimp(Kakdugi-S) through pH, acidity, reducing sugar content, color, microbial counts, TPA and sensory evaluation. The salt concentrations were similar among the treatments ranging 1.9 to 2.3%. Greater decrease in pH and reducing sugar content, and greater increase in acidity were observed in Kakdugi prepared with three kinds of fermented fish sauce than control. The greatest decrease in pH and reducing sugar content but the highest increase in acidity and lactobacilli counts were observed in Kakdugi-S, followed by Kakdugi-N and Kakdugi-A. Fermentation pattern of Kakdugi-N was similar to that of Kakdugi-A. The Hunter color L, a and b values increased gradually until day 11 and then decreased, and the a and b values of Kakdugi-N were similar to those of Kakdugi-A. The hardness and fracturability of Kakdugi determined by texture analyser, decreased during fermentation. Sensory evaluation showed that the score of overall acceptability was the highest in Kakdugi-S, followed by Kakdugi-N and Kakdugi-A.

To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented northern sand lance, Ammodytes personatus sauce during fermentation, various chemical properties were examined at 1$\~$3 months intervals during 18 months fermentation. The moisture content decreased slightly, but the content of VBN and crude protein, total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, degree of hydrolysis, and absorbance at 453 nm increased gradually during fermentation. On the other hand, ash content, pH, and salinity showed almost no change. The contents of total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, and degree of hydrolysis increased sharply until 6$\~$8 months fermentation and showed the gentle increment after that, The Hx and uric acid were the most abundant in ATP related compounds, ranging from $83.1\%$ to $92.9\%$, After 18 month of fermentation, sauce was rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, alanine, Iysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine, aspartic acid in that order.

The quality characteristics of 15 kinds of the commercial northern sand lance, Ammodytes Personatus sauce (CNS) of korean traditional salt-fermented fish sauces were evaluated comparing to the traditional northern sand lance, Ammodytes Personatus sauce (TNS). The ranges of chemical compositions of the CNSs were $66.5\~71.0\%$ moisture, $19.3\~24.6\%$ ash, $4.7\~12.0\%$ crude protein, and the pH and salinity were $5.56\~6.47\%,\;24.0\~32.9\%$, respectively. Total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, total free amino acid and total ATP related compounds (sum of ATP$\~$IMP, HxR, Hx and uric acid) were in the ranges of 0.781$\~$ 1,918 g, 445.9$\~$1037.9 mg, 3,258.9$\~$6:562.6mg in 100 ml CNSs, and 4.766$\~$8.989 $\mu$mol in 1 ml CNSs. The CNSs were higher in content of moisture, TMAO, TMA and pH, but lower in content of crude protein, salinity, total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, total ATP related compounds, absorbance at 453 nm and total free amino acid than the TNSs, Both CNS and TNS samples were rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, lysine, alanine, leucine, valine, aspartic acid and isoleucine in the order.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferred methods for making summer kimchi as a basic research of making commercial kimchi. Questionnaire were collected from 590 housewives nationwide in Korea, and the data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows: (1) The average salting time of Chinese cabbage was 3~5 hrs when the combined method of dry and brine salting was used, regardless of the region. (2) Seven jeotkals (salt-fermented fishes) including anchovy, anchovy juice, shrimp, northern sand lance juice, hair-tail viscera, flatfish and yellow corvenia were mainly used in kimchi. Among them, anchovy and anchovy juice jeotkals were preferred to all others in Southern area (Busan, Gwangju, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Jeonnam), while shrimp jeotkal in Seoul, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Chungnam and Jeju, and northern sand lance juice jeotkal in Daegu, Daejeon and Gyeonggi, respectively. In most regions, however, blending type of 2 jeotkals was used in kimchi. (3) Eleven ingredients such as red pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, radish, leek, onion, carrot, sugar, sesame and MSG were used as basic components for making kimchi. In particular, MSG was used as a basic ingredient regardless of region and age. However, a standard taste for making kimchi was depended on housewife in this study.
