To reduce salt content in Korean traditional kochujang, horseradish powder (1.2%, w/w) was added to kochujang with 4-10% salt, and its microbial characteristics, enzyme activities, and gas formation in kochujang were evaluated during fermentation far 120 days at $25^{\circ}C$. All treatments of kochujang had no effects on total viable bacterial numbers, which kept constant level, during fermentation (7.32-8.765 log CFU/g). Yeast numbers did not change under all treatments up to 90 days of fermentation, then decreased thereafter, ${\alpha}$-Amylase and ${\beta}$-amylase, and neutral- and acid-pretense activities of kochujang added with horseradish powder were higher than those of control group. ${\beta}$-Amylase activity of kochujang increased in proportion to salt concentration. Total accumulative volume of gas produced during fermentation of kochujang without horseradish powder was 5,892 mL/pack then decreased to 121-347mL/pack with low-salted kochujang (salt 4%, 6%) added with horseradish powder, Major gas produced was $CO_{2}(74-80%)$. Results indicate salt contents of kochujang could be lowered up to 6% by addition of horseradish powder without gas formation and quality alteration.

As a series of study for processing low salt fermented fish, this work was undertaken to investigate taste compounds of low sodium salt fermented anchovy and yellow corvenia comparing with conventional fermented fish ($20\%$ of salt contents) during the fermentation of 120 days at $25{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. The major amino acids in fermented anchovy at 60 day fermentation were lysine, alanine, leucine, valine, isoleucine, histidine, threonine and glycine, while those in fermented yellow corvenia at 90 day fermentation were lysine, leucine, alanine, valine, threonine, isoleucine, glutamic acid and methionine. These amino acids held $57\%$ of the total extractive nitrogen content for fermented anchovy and $41\%$ for fermented yellow corvenia, respectively. It was supposed from the results that principal taste compounds both for fermented anchovy and fermented yellow corvenia were free amino acids, and that nucleotides and their related compounds as well as total creatinine also played an assistant role. And also there was little difference between taste compounds of low salt fermented fish and those of conventional fermented fish irrespective of fish species.

BACKGROUND: Inorganic component is made up largely of salt, because the criteria are difficult to split into domestic and imported ingredients, organic examined the fatty acid composition is to see a possible use as a marker using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The 14 domestic samples and 8 imported samples were collected from China, India and other countries were investigated on item of 37 fatty acids. METHODS AND RESULTS: The major components were six species, myristic acid ($C_{14:0}$), palmitic acid ($C_{16:0}$), palmitoleic acid ($C_{16:1}$), stearic acid ($C_{18:0}$), oleic acid ($C_{18:2,n9}$), linoleic acid ($C_{18:2,n6}$) among detected twenty fatty acids including 9 unknowns. The content of palmitic acid were highest as 25.2 to 50.8% of total fatty acids contents. Domestic has seen the most amount of salt in the Taepyeong salts $250.8{\mu}g$/100g, imports $135.2{\mu}g$/100g salt in Chinese Weifang salts showed the lowest content. CONCLUSION(s): The total fatty acid content has seen the most amount of salt in 352.3 ug/100g Christmas island salts showed the lowest content of $164.0{\mu}g$/100g, as a result it is difficult to distinguish the domestic salts and imported by the composition of fatty acid.

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.

Limonium tetragonum is a halophyte grown naturally in the coastal region in South Korea. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of salt concentrations on seed germination, seedling growth, and antioxidant capacity of L. tetragonum. Seeds were collected from naturally grown plants of L. tetragonum and those at full maturity were used in this experiment. All experiments were performed at 0%, 0.5%, 1.0%, or 2.0% of salt concentrations. Seed germination rate was highest as 86% at $20^{\circ}C$ and followed as higher in order of $25^{\circ}C$, $30^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$. The germination rate was about 80% at 0% or 0.5% of salt concentration, but it was very low at the salt concentrations higher than 1%. Growth of L. tetragonum seedlings showed no difference in Hoagland solution containing NaCl in the range of 0% to 1.0% and seedlings survived at 2.0% of NaCl concentration. As the salt concentration increased, the content of $Na^+$ in the shoot increased, but that of $K^+$, $Ca^{{+}{+}}$, or $Mg^{{+}{+}}$ decreased. The antioxidant activity and the content of total polyphenol and total flavonoid in the shoot were similar at 0% and 0.5% of NaCl and were highest at 2.0% of NaCl concentration. In conclusion, performance of seed germination and plant growth of L. tetragonum was highest at 0% and 0.5% of NaCl concentration, and showed no difference in antioxidant activity, total polyphenol contents, and total flavonoid contents at the same salt concentrations.

"Kimchi", which is a main side-dish on Korean table is the pickled vegitables with seasoning substances : such as onion red pepper, salt, water and etc. In this paper, the variation of pH, acidity (calculated as lactic acid) and sugar contents (calculated as dextrose) are investigated during the fermentation period of Kimchi and the effects of antiseptics (Brilliant green, malachite green, sodium benzate, salicylic acid, P-dichlor amino sulfonyl-benzoic acid) and hydrochlonic acid to prevent spoiling are studied on the Kimchi which is prepared by a simple method in this laboratory.

In order to observe the Na contents, Korean common foods, especially processed foods were analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. 1. The Na contents of instant noodle (ramen) was 400-900 mg/100 g and Na contents of their soup powder was 10000-16000 mg/100 g. 2. The Na contents of corns and beans was very low but their processed foods, com Dake and soybean milk, had relatively high Na contents. 3. The Na contents of meats was 40-60 mg/100 g but the Na contents of meats products was 700-900 mg/100 g. 4. The Na contents of Davoring salt was 12000-38000 mg/100 g, those of soybean products was 3000-6OOO mg/100 g, and that of seasoning MSG was 8000-17000 mg/100 g. 5. There was no statistical difference between the results of wet ash method and dry ash method in the Na contents of all food groups.
