This study was performed to examine the effects of salt addition level on changes in the physicochemical properties and color values of salted shrimp during fermentation. Fresh shrimp were salted with different concentrations (8, 18, 28%) of Chunil salt and fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 160 days. In the 8% salted shrimp treatment, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), amino nitrogen (AN), and trimethylamine (TMA) contents rapidly increased during the fermentation period, while in the 18 and 28% salt groups these increases were reduced throughout the 160 days of fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased rapidly for 120 days of fermentation and then decreased. The thiobarbituric acid values of the 18, and 28% salted and fermented shrimp groups were lower than the that of the 8% group. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values decreased as the fermentation period increased.

This study was conducted to determine the optimum conditions for the preparation of traditional Korean whole cabbage Kimchi with salted shrimp. Sensory, physical and chemical characteristics of Kimchi with various salted shrimp level(1.8, 3.6%), fermentation time(12, 24, 36 hrs) and storage period(1, 4, 7 days) were measured. As the fermentation time and storage day were extended, pH of Kimchis decreased but titratable acidity of Kimchis increased. The more salted shrimp in Kimchi resulted in the higher titratable acidity. The longer fermentation time and the longer storage resulted in the more citric, malic and succinic acid, and the less lactic and acetic acid in Kimchi. The optimum conditions for the preparation of Korean whole cabbage Kimchi were 3.6% salted shrimp level, 12 hours fermentation time and 84 hours(3.5 days) storage period.

This study was conducted to examine the effects of the level of salted shrimp on the characteristics of kimchi fermented at 2$0^{\circ}C$ for one day and then stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ for 3 or 6 days. The sensory characteristics, pH, total acidity and salt content of kimchi, prepared to have an equal intensity of salty taste, with three levels of salted shrimp and NaCl, were measured. Instron universal testing machine also was used to examine the firmness of kimchi. As the level of salted shrimp and storage periods increased, intensity of translucency, sour odor, carbonic mouthfeel, toughness and sour taste of kimchi increased while firmness and crispness decreased. There was no significant difference in pH among the kimchies. However, total acidity of kimchi increased as the level of salted shrimp increased and the storage period was extended.

This study was performed to examine the effects of salt addition levels on changes in the physicochemical properties of salted and fermented shrimp for HACCP determination. The salted shrimp were prepared from fresh shrimp using different concentrations (8, 18, 28%) of chunil salt, and were then fermented at $10^{\circ}C$ for 160 days. Amino nitrogen, VBN and TMA contents rapidly increased in the 8% group during the fermentation period, while the 18% and 28% groups maintained their initial levels throughout the 160 day fermentation period. The thiobabituric acid (TBA) values of the groups increased rapidly over 120 days of fermentation, and then decreased thereafter. The TBA values of the 18% and 28% groups were lower than that of the 8% group. The peroxide values of the 18 and 28% groups rapidly increased over 30 days of fermentation, whereas the values for the 8% group, rapidly increased with 60 days of fermentation.

The microbial changes during the fermentation of salted and fermented shrimp at different salt levels $(3{\sim}30%)$ were investigated to elucidate the effect of salt on the microflora of the fermented shrimp. During 22 weeks of fermentation, the numbers of total bacteria and yeasts of the fermented shrimp with 3, 8, 30% salt generally decreased with fermentation time, while those in the fermented shrimp of 18% salt increased. Halophilic bacteria were found only in the late stage of the fermentation at 18% salt. The greatest number of the halophilic yeasts was observed also at 18% salt level. The results indicated that 18% salt provided the most favorable environment for the microorganisms related to the shrimp fermentation.

This study was carried out to survey the contents of mineral and heavy metal of the commercial salt and salted-fermented shrimp. Mineral and heavy metal contents of Korean products and imported salts, and their effects on shrimps were analyzed through ICP-AES/MS. K and Mg contents of Korean salts and salted-fermented shrimp were relatively higher than those imported ones, However, no significant differences were found for mineral of commercial salted-fermented shrimps between Korean products and imported ones. Heavy metal contents of commercial salts lower than the maximum permissible limit set by KFDA. As, HB, and Ni were not detected in both commercial and lab-made salted-fermented shrimps. Cd were detected ranges of ND-0.5 ppm (average 0.1ppm) for commercial salted-fermented shrimps. Pb were detected ranges of ND-0.8ppm(average 0.28ppm) for lab-made salted-fermented shrimps.

Effect of salt concentration on the quality of Saewoojeot (salted shrimp) fermented at room temperature was evaluated Salted shrimp with three different salt concentration (9, 18 and $27\%$) were prepared with fresh shrimp, and fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ temperatures for 180 days. Amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and trimethylamine (TMA) contents increased with longer fermentation time and lower salt concentration. AN, VBN and TMA contents in salted and fermented shrimp with $9\%$ salt increased rapidly during fermentation period, while that with 18 and $27\%$ salt maintained its initial level through 180 days of fermentation. When salted and fermented shrimps were fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, all the indexes of fermentation process maintained stable with $27\%$ salt level. Pathogenic bacteria such as pathogenic Echerichia coli, Salmonella spp., were not detected in the manufactured salted and fermented shrimps. However, coliform and yeast disappeared within 180 days and 100 days of storage for 18 and $27\%$ salt, respectively. Gram positive cocci survived until 180 days of storage against $18\%$($10^3-10^6$ CFU/g) and $27\%$($0-10^6$ CFU/g) salt.

Saeujeot (salted and fermented shrimp) and kimchi are traditional Korean fermented foods. Even though shrimp have often induced severe allergic reactions in sensitized individuals, few studies have investigated the allergenicity of shrimp. The aim of this study was to observe the changes of pH and allergenicity of raw shrimp (Acetes japonicus) and saeujeot in cabbage kimchi during fermentation using competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (Ci-ELISA). Fermentation was carried out at different temperatures (25, 15, and $5^{\circ}C$). The pH of cabbage kimchi added with raw shrimp or saeujeot slowly decreased at lower temperature ($5^{\circ}C$) at the end stage of the fermentation process. The binding ability of serum obtained from patients allergic to raw shrimp against shrimp tropomyosin and saeujeot in kimchi rapidly decreased during longer fermentation periods and higher temperature ($25^{\circ}C$). In conclusion, the allergenicity of both raw shrimp and saeujeot in kimchi decreased during fermentation but the decrease in allergenicity of saeujeot was greater than observed for raw shrimp.

This study focused on the preparation and characterization of anti-wrinkle peptides from the salted and fermented shrimp (Acetes japonicus) inoculated with Salinivibrio cibaria BAO-01 (SFSC). The results showed the proximate composition of SFSC to be 9.23% water, 75.32% protein, 0.23% fat, and 13.3 mg/g ash. Interestingly, the S. cibaria fermentation significantly increased the amount of methionine, leucine, and arginine. The in vitro antioxidant activity was assayed by the diphenylpicrylhydrazyl method and its IC₅₀ value was found to be 43.02±2.84 ㎍/mL. It was observed to inhibit the activity of elastase, tyrosinase, collagenase, and hyaluronidase. The IC₅₀ values of SFSC were 182.75±12.38 ㎍/mL for anti-elastase activity, 186.78±7.95 ㎍/mL for anti-tyrosinase activity, 444.4±34.81 ㎍/mL for anti-collagenase activity, and 1447.95±28.92 ㎍/mL for anti-hyaluronidase activity. These results suggest that salted and fermented shrimp has strong potential for the development of nutricosmetic products.

This study developed a species identification method for the salted opossum shrimp of Acetes japonicus, A. chinensis (Korea, China), A. indicus (I, II), and Palaemon gravieri based on PCR-RFLP markers. Genomic DNA was extracted from the salted opossum shrimp. The COI gene was used to amplify 519 base pairs (bp) using specific primers. The amplified products were digested by Acc I and Hinf I, and the DNA fragments were separated by automated electrophoresis for RFLP analysis. When the amplified DNA product (519 bp) was digested with Acc I, A. japonicus, A. chinensis (Korea), and A. indius (II) showed two fragments, whereas a single band of 519 bp was detected in A. chinensis (China) and A. indius (I). Also, in the RFLP patterns digested by Hinf I, A. chinensis (Korea) and A. chinensis (China) showed a single band of 519 bp, while two fragments were observed in A. japonicus and A. indius (I) and four fragments in A. indius (II). The PCR amplicon of P. gravieri was digested by Acc I into 3 bands of 271, 202, and 46 bp and by Hinf I into a single band of 519 bp. Therefore, salted opossum shrimp-specific RFLP markers showing distinct differences between four species and two sub-species by PCR-RFLP analysis. Thus, the PCR-RFLP markers developed in this study are a good method for identifying the six types of salted opossum shrimp.
