The functional properties such as a firming maintenance capacity for fermented vegetables, protein coagulation capacity antibacterial activity, calcium and peroxide absorption capacity of calcium powder of cuttle bone treated with acetic acid (ATC) were examined. In the Korean pickled cucumbers (20 days), the calcium content of ethanol insoluble solids was 5,264.9 mg/100 g and this value was higher than that of control (2,036.4 mg/100 g). Protein coagulation capacity of ATC was $0.9\%$ and its calcium absorption capacity was $49.3\%.$ The peroxide absorption capacity of ATC was shown $0-1.1\%$ range. Antibacterial activity was detected above $0.2\%.$ The ATC was effective in a firming maintenance of fermented vegetables (cucumber), coagulation capacities for soybean milk and antibacterial activity. The ATC was not effective in clarifying wastewater. Peroxide absorption capacity toward linoleic acid could not be checked by ATC, but its calcium absorption ratio was high compared to that of commercial calcium powder.

Preparation method and characteristics of high quality Korean pickled cucumber made with acetic acid-treated cuttle bone powder (KPCCP) were examined and compared to those of Korean pickled cucumber prepared by traditional methods (control). Optimal concentration of acetic acid-treated cuttle bone powder for KPCCP preparation was revealed as 10%. Salt concentration of KPCCP fermented for 3 days was 4.5%, slightly higher than that of the control, whereas that of KPCCP fermented for over 6 day was about 4.8%, similar to that of the control. The pH, greenness, and hardness of korean pickled cucumber decreased during fermentation, with the control showing a greater extent of decrease than KPCCP Total acidity and alcohol insoluble calcium contents increased during fermentation, with KPCCP showing higher extent of increase. These results indicate that quality of KPCCP is superior to that of Korean pickled cucumber prepared by traditional methods.

Storage stabilities of soybean curds using cuttle bone powder treated with acetic acid (ATC-soybean curd) and calcium chloride (calcium chloride-soybean curd) as a coagulants were examined. The pH, turbidity of soaking solution, titratable acidity, and viable cell counts of calcium chloride-soybean curd did not change up to 6 days of storage, then decreased rapidly in pH and turbidity and increased rapidly in titratable acidity and viable cell counts, whereas those of ATC-soybean curd did not change up to 9 days of storage, then decreased slowly in pH and turbidity and increased slowly in titratable acidity and viable cell counts. Regardless of coagulants and storage period, white index of soybean curds did not change during cold storage. Hardness and brittleness of calcium chloride-soybean curd decreased rapidly up to 3 days in of storage, remained stable from 3 days to 6 days, then decreased rapidly. Hardness and brittleness of ATC-soybean curd also decreased rapidly up to 3 days in of storage and remained stable from 3 to 9 days, but then decreased slowly. Regardless of coagulants, results of sensory evaluation were similar to those of physicochemical tests. Judging from the above results, shelf-lives were determined as 9 and 6 days for ATC- and calcium chloride-soybean curds, respectively.

Recovery conditions and characteristics of a high molecular soluble protein from surimi processing wastewater in marine manufacture using calcium powder of cuttle bone treated with acetic acid (ATC) were examined. Judging from results of total-N, pH, COD, turbidity and yields, optimal treatment concentration of ATC for recovery of high molecular soluble proteins from wastewater was $1.0\%.$ The protein recovered from seafood waste (PRW) was macromolecule weight. The COD value in the wastewater treated with ATC was very high. The PRW had a $78.4\%$ in moisture, $1.0\%$ in crude lipid and $5.7\%$ in crude ash. The proximate composition, except the crude ash, of the PRW was similar to that of commercial surimi. The PRW showed white index and similar in the content and in the composition of total amino acid to those of commercial surimi. From the results of sensory evaluation on white index and texture, the heat-induced surimi gel prepared with $5\%$ subsititution of the PRW for bulking agent of commercial surimi was not significantly different compared to that prepared with the original commercial surimi.

Soybean curd was prepared using cuttlebone powder treated with acetic acid (ATC), and its characteristics were determined. Soybean protein was coagulated by adding calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and ATC at 0.7, 1.2, and 0.9%, respectively, or higher. Yield, white index, texture, and sensory evaluations revealed the optimal concentration of ATC for preparation of soybean curd was 2.0% of total soybean weight. The proximate compositions of soybean curd prepared by adding 2.O% ATC were 75.9%, 12.6%, 1.9%, 5.3%, 6.60, and $1.0×10^4$ CFU/g in for moisture, crude protein, crude ash, crude lipid, pH, and viable cell count, respectively. Although white index and mineral content of both soybean curds were similar, texture of ATC-prepared soybean curd was superior to that of soybean curd prepared with 1.5% calcium chloride.

Heat-induced surimi gels were prepared using various concentration of ATC as a additives and calcium agent. Regardless of various concentration of ATC, there were no difference the moisture $(80.4-81.2\%)\;and\;crude\;ash\;(1.4-1.\5%)$ contents. The pH of heat-induced surimi gels were decreased 7.16 to 7.04 depend on increasing ATC concentration. The whiteness, breaking force and gel strength of $0.09\%$surimi gel were improved significantly difference (p<0.05). Sensory evaluation on texture and whiteness were also similar to determination by color and texture meters. In mineral content of heat-induced surimi gel calcium content was increased 26 to 54 mg/100g depend on increasing ATC concentration, while phosphorus content was not change. The optimal concentration of ATC for preparation of high quality heat-induced surimi gel was $0.09\%$. The shelf-life of heat-induced surimi gel did not extend by addition of $0.09\%$ ATC.
