Several quality parameters affecting Alaska pollack, Theragra chalcogramma, were measured and modeled kinetically under storage at different temperatures: the K-value, trimethylamine (TMA), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), Torry meter, pH, acid value (AV), total viable cell count (TVC), and colony forming units (CFU) of Pseudomonas spp. The off-flavor development time (ODT) was also measured using the R-index sensory test and modeled kinetically. Among the quality parameters, the CFU of Pseudomonas spp. was an indicator of the ODT according to a similarity in the Arrhenius temperature dependence, which was derived as a criterion mathematically. The temperature dependence was represented by the Arrhenius's activation energy ($E_a$). On comparing the $E_a$ of the quality factors and the ODT, the similarity in the temperature dependence was found to be high in the order Pseudomonas spp., pH, VBN, TVC, K-value, TMA, AV, and Torry meter. Therefore, Pseudomonas spp. was identified as the primary indicator of ODT.

Changes in physicochemical and microbiological properties of seafood bun containing kimchi were investgated during storage at 20$^{\circ}C$. pH of seafood bun tended to decrease and titratable acidity tended to increase during storage, as the kimrhi added more the pH was higher and titratable was lower. Acidity of seafood bun tended to increase during storage, the acidity was lower in seafood added kimchi than in control. Peroxide value of seafood bun added kimchi was lower than that of control, the value decreased with kimchi content. VBN and TBA values increased during storage, as the kimchi added more the value was lower. Viable colony and E. coli count significantly increased during 2 days of storage and tended to slightly increase afterward. The seafood bun added 20% kimchi obtained higher scores than other samples.

The purpose of our study is to investigate the changes of physico-chemical properties according to packaging methods(vacuum packaged with polyamide/polyethylene, air packaged with polyvynyl-chloride) and illumination on the properties of Hanwoo beef. pH value in vacuum packaged beef tended to be decreased, but pH value in air packaged beef tended to be increased during storage for 21 days, irrespective of illumination. Contents of volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) and thiobarbituric acid(TBA) values were increased, regardless of packaging methods. However, vacuum packaged beef showed lower VBN, TBA values than those of air packaged beef. Red color(CIE a value) was also decreased. Regardless of packaging method, saturated fatty acids(SFAs) were increased, but unsaturated fatty acids(UFAs) were relatively decreased. And in the ratio of the UFA/SFA, vacuum packaged beef had lower UFA/SFA ratio than that of air packaged beef. In this study, the effect of illumination did not change on physico-chemical properties in Hanwoo beef. In conclusion, the results indicate that the vacuum packaging treatment was more important to prolong the shelf-life of Hanwoo beef than air packaging method.

The Present study has been carried out to investigate the effect of refrigerated seawater (RSW) at $-1^{\circ}C$ in order to delay spoilage and extend the shelf-life in Sardine(Sardinops melanosticta). The result obtained are summarized as follows : In case of freshness, K-value was shown above $30\%$ at 1 day of storage by icing, but in RSW system was shown $20\%$ until 2 days by storage. VBN and TMA were also shown the similar tendency when compared to K-value. The lipids extracted from sardine muscle held in ice was oxidized much more than those in RSW system by way of chemical test such as TBA and POV. The myofibrillar protein extracted from sardine stored in RSW system was denaturized more slowly compared with those by ice. $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ activity indicated that myofibrillar protein held in RSW system was more stable than those held in ice. Total viable counts for sardine in RSW system showed an overall lower values. By TPA(Textural Porfile Analysis) , sardine meat pastes held in RSW system have a higher value than those held in ice.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of mugwort podwer and carcass grade on the shelf-life of pork patty. Pork patty was prepared by four types such as grade B pcrk patty without mugwort powder (A patty), grade B pork patty with mugwort podwer (B patty), grade I pork patty without mugwort powder (C patty) and grade E pork patty with mugwort powder (D patty) and the residual nitrite, surface color, pH, VBN (volatile basic nitrogen), TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and total bacterial counts of the sample were determined during storage at 4$^{\circ}C$. The residual nitrite of pork patties with mugwort powder was highly decreased until storage for 2 weeks, pork patties without mugwort powder highly decreased until storage for 4 weeks, therefore addition of mugwort powder reduced residual nitrite of pork patty. The L＊ value of pork patty was the highest at early stage of storage, pork patties with mugwort powder were lower than that of pork patties without mugwort powder, and grade B pork patties were higher than that of the grade I pork patties. The a value of grade I pork patties were higher than that of grade B pork patties, and changes during storage were no significant difference. The b value of grade B pork patties were higher than that of grade I pork patties. The pH of pork patties decreased during storage. The VBN, TBARS and total bacterial counts added significantly during storage, and the addition of mugwort powder were not affected during storage.

Gamma irradiation$(1{\sim}5\;kGy)$ was applied to Korean beef to improve the hygienics and quality preservation. The effective dose of irradiation was 3 kGy for the sterilization of the initially contaminated microorganisms. After 8 weeks of storage at $5^{\circ}C$, no growth of the microorganisms were observed in the samples irradiated above 5 kGy. The pH was slightly increased as storage period increased. However, no significant change in pH was observed by gamma irradiation. The acid value of beef during storage at $5^{\circ}C$ was increased rapidly with the elapse of the storage period in both nonirradiated and irradiated samples, but that of the 3 kGy irradiated samples increased more slowly than the nonirradiated. VBN value increased more rapidly in nonirradiated sample than the irradiated during storage. Especially VBN value of the nonirradiated sample was four fold higher than that of the 3 kGy irradiated sample after 8 weeks of storage at $5^{\circ}C$. No significant differences in the components of fatty acid were observed by gamma irradiation. The amount of released free amino acid was increased during storage and was not significantly affected by gamma irradiation.

One of the biggest Problems in making jeotkal is the reduction of its shelf-life when lowering the salt content from 20-30% to below 10%. Therefore, in order to extend the shelf-life of the low-salted jeotkal, prior to setting the minimum allowance value of sulfiting agents as food additives for fermented fish products, the preservative effects of sulfite salts on the low-salted myungranjeot (soused roe of Alaska pollack) were studied through various chemical and microbial analyses. The pHs of the low-salted Myungranjeot treated with bisulfite and metasulfite salts rapidly decreased in the biginning of fermentation, while the lactic acid contents increased constantly. Sodium bisulfite and metasulfite enhanced the production of $NH_2-N$ after 10 day-fermentation, whereas they inhibited the production of VBN, TMA and TBA, and the growth of microorganisms including fungi during fermentation. The estimated shelf-lives of low-salted myungranjeot treated with control, sodium sulfate, sodium bisulfite, and sodium metasulfite on the basis of VBN 50 mg% were about 16, 14, 20 and 24 days, respectively.

Addition effect of mugwort powder on storage stability of boiled carcass grade(B and E) during storage at $4\pm1^{\circ}C$for 8 weeks were investigated. The pH value and volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) content of boiled pork with mugwort powder were not significant difference(p>0.05) depending on the carcass grade as compared to boiled pork without mugwort powder. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) values of boiled pork with mugwort powder were significantly lower than those of boiled pork without mugwort powder up to 8 weeks of the chilling process. The boiled pork with mugwort powder showed to have lower numbers of bacteria and residual nitrite than those without mugwort powder depending on the carcass grade.
