  • The historical background of fish fermentation in Asia and other regions of the world is reviewed. The classification of fermented fish products in different regions is attempted with respect to the technology involved. The fermented fish products are largely divided into three groups; (1) high-salt, (2) low-salt, and (3) non-salt fermented. High-salt fermented products contain over 20% of salt and are represented by fish sauce, cured fish and fish paste. Low-salt fermented products contain 6-18% salt and are subdivided into lactic fermented products with added carbohydrate and acid pickling associated with low temperature. Non-salt fermented products are represented by the solid state bonito fermentation and some alkaline fermentation of flat fishes. The local names of the products in different regions are compared and classified accordingly. The microbial and biochemical changes during fish fermentation are considered in relation to the quality of the products, and their wholesomeness is reviewed.

  • Indigenous fermented foods have played a vital role in human history, and continue to offer a multitude of diverse sensory characteristics. According to earthenware relic, the fermented fisheries products might be consumed in Korean peninsula from Paleolithic period. The traditional Korean fermented fish products are classified into four groups; Jeot-gal (sik-hae), Aek-jeot, Seasoned Jeot-gal, and Seasoned Aek-jeot. Jeot-gal is a fermented fishery with salt. Aek-jeot is a liquid part of Jeot-gal. Sik-hae is manufactured by fementing fishery with salt, cereal, malt powder, etc. Seasoned Jeot-gal is a salt-seasoned fish with red pepper powder, garlic, onion, etc. Seasoned Aek-jeot is a seasoned product by adding "salt-water" or "condiment" to Aek-jeot. The fermented fisheries industry has traditionally been succeeded mainly in a cottage scale to the middle of 20th century. Thereafter, together with the development of pelagic fishery, the fermented fisheries industry also developed constantly to an enterprise size.

  • The traditional Korean fermented fish products are classified into mainly three groups; Jeot-gal, Aek-jeot, and Sik-hae. Jeot-gal is a salt-fermented fish. Aek-jeot (Eoganjang) is actually a liquid part of Jeot-gal. Sik-hae is a salt-fermented whole or part fisheries with adjuncts. The production of jeot-gal products has been increased constantly. However, there is not enough fishery for raw materials. Recently, consumers have been preferred low-salted foods because they have become aware that high levels of salt cause adult diseases such as hypertension or gastric cancers. The main consumers of jeot-gal are adults above 40~50 years old. Young generation and school nutrition teachers dislike fishery products because of distinct fish smell, small bone, as well as food safety. Therefore, in order to increase the consumption of jeot-gal and extend its industry, jeot-gal should be developed to match the preference of new generation with good safety, health-oriented, and new concept.

  • In order to find out if staphylococci occur in significant numbers in Korean fermented fish products, a total of 40 different fermented fish products were collected from different markets in Korea and analyzed for their physico-chemical and microbiological states. The pH, salt concentration and water activity of the products were measured and the total viable cell count and the number of Staphylococcus grown on mannitol salt agar were determined. The identification of the strains of Staphylococcus were made by API Staph Strip and MIS identification kits, and the physiological properties of the identified strains were further characterized by different conventional methods. The pH, salt content and water activity of fermented fish samples varied widely from 4.8 to 7.1, 7.4-28.7$%$ and 0.77-0.84, repectively, depending on the type of product. The total viable cell count varied from $10^4-10^9$ cfu/ml, and most of the samples had $10^5-10^6$ cfu/ml No correlation was found between the viable cell count and the pH, NaCl concentration and water activity of the samples. Among the 35 colonies identified as Staphylococcus strains by the identification kits, S. xylosus was the most frequently occurring strain marking 17, and S. warneri was 8, S. epidermidis 4 and S. cohnii 2. S. hominis, S. saprophyticus, S. haemolyticus and S. aureus were also identified once each. In some samples (K-3, P-6, K-8, G-5 and G-10), 2-3 different species of Staphylococcus were found. Considering the region of sampling, among the 10 samples from Kunsan 5 were identified as S. warneri, while in the other regions S. xylosus was predominant. Although the physiological characteristics of the identified strains were generally consistent with those in Bergey's Manual, some discrepances were also observed. All the strains were highly salt tolerant, growing in the media containing over 18$%$ NaCl. All the strains except S. aureus (G-11) showed negative in hemolysis activity, plasma coagulation and DNase tests. All the strains including S. aureus (G-11) showed negative in enterotoxin test.

  • This study was conducted to understand the quality characteristics of 20 kinds of commercial salt-fermented anchovy & sand lance sauces by measuring their the chemical compositions and 9 biogenic amines (tryptamine, 2-phenylethylamine, putrescin, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, serotonin, noradrenaline, spermine) contents. The commercial salt-fermented anchovy sauces contained $65.84{\pm}0.11{\sim}70.60{\pm}0.21%$ of moisture, $20.50{\pm}0.41{\sim}25.60{\pm}0.42%$ of salinity, $0.98{\pm}0.01{\sim}2.05{\pm}0.05%$ total nitrogen, and $1,011.77{\pm}0.00{\sim}1,724.56{\pm}9.72mg/100mL$ of amino nitrogen. Histamine was the major amine detected in salt-fermented fish sauces and it was varied from 421.27 to 1,507.18 mg/kg in salt-fermented anchovy sauces, whereas commercial salt-fermented sand lance sauces contained $67.87{\pm}0.28{\sim}69.63{\pm}0.17%$ moisture, $22.46{\pm}0.28{\sim}26.11{\pm}0.00%$ salinity, $0.92{\pm}0.01{\sim}1.71{\pm}0.05%$ total nitrogen, $878.20{\pm}0.00{\sim}1430.09{\pm}9.77mg/100mL$ amino nitrogen and 419.10~1,025.50 mg/kg histamine, respectively. These findings suggest that the products of salt-fermented fish sauces have pretty much the same in ingredient composition and meet domestic criteria but most those had high biogenic amine contents. Therefore, ingredient composition and biogenic amine content of commercial salt-fermented fish sauce products were practicable evaluation of the quality characteristics.

  • This study was conducted to understand the quality characteristics of 89 types of commercial salt-fermented fishery products by measuring their physiochemical compositions and biogenic amine contents. All samples had the following measurements; 41.59-89.20 g/100 g of moisture, 1.71-25.70 g/100 g of salinity, 3.21-7.05 of pH, 0.80-2.93 g/100 g of total nitrogen, 87.02-1,296.78 mg/100 g of amino nitrogen, and 7.30-926.34 mg/100 g of volatile basic nitrogen. The physicochemical components differed extensively between samples from different raw materials, including, fish, shellfish, and others. Histamine (0 to 1,072.2 mg/kg), putrescine (0 to 2,536.4 mg/kg), cadaverine (0 to 545.2 mg/kg of cadaverine), tryptamine (0 to 1,287.9 mg/kg), and tyramine (11.3 to 563.3 mg/kg) were the major biogenic amines detected in the samples. These findings suggest that salt-fermented fishery products meet the domestic criteria but have different ingredient compositions and most had high biogenic amine contents. The results suggest that it is necessary to establish criteria for evaluating the quality characteristics using the ingredient composition and biogenic amine contents of commercial salt-fermented fishery products.

  • Various problems in fermented fish products have been a major obstacle to manufacture the product in large scale, which is mainly concerned with the food safety. In this review, salt-fermented anchovy was selected to elucidate the characteristics of microorganisms involved in fermentation; thereby, it is suggested for research areas to achieve the quality improvement of tile product. Different microorganisms were involved in fermentation of anchovy. Dominant species were reported to be Bacillus sp., Pseudomonas sp., and Micrococcus sp., other microorganisms were Vibro sp., Clostridim sp., Serratia sp., Achromobacter sp., Streptococcus sp., Breuibacterium sp., Halobacterium sp., Flavobacterium sp., Corynebacterium sp., Acinetobacter sp., Sarcina sp., Staphylococcus sp., Torulopsis sp., and Saccharomyces sp. To standardize the quality of fermented fish products, screening and isolation of promising microorganisms should be carried out to develop different types of products; at the same time, proper sanitation control should be employed to keep the commercial value of the product by prolonging the shelf life.

  • Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a neurotransmitter that exerts several physiological functions and positive effects on human health. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize the strains that had GABA-producing abilities from various fermented fish products. A total of 91 acid-producing strains were isolated from 41 samples of fermented fish products, and 27 strains showing GABA-producing abilities were identified by the 16S rDNA sequences. Among the strains, 31% strains tolerated at high-salt environment of 10-20% throughout the fermentation of fish sauces. The 27 isolates that produced GABA at various concentrations did so in the range of 5 to 454 mM. These GABA-producing isolates were identified as lactic acid bacteria of 14 strains, which included twelve Lactococcus lactis, one Enterococcus faecium, and one Lactococcus pentosus; eight Bacillus cereus group, which included seven B. thuringiensis and one B. cereus; and five Staphylococcus spp. Interestingly, with Vietnamese fish sauces, we mostly identified species of B. thuringiensis and Staphylococcus spp., while with Korean fermented fish products, the majority of the strains identified belonged to L. lactis. Among the strains, B. thuringiensis LH2134 produced the highest levels of GABA at 366 mM among the strains identified from Vietnamese fish sauces, whereas L. lactis LA43, a new strain isolated from Korean jeotgal (salted shrimp paste), produced the highest amount of GABA at 454 mM and the glutamate concentration in the medium was essential for GABA accumulation. Therefore, such the isolates might serve as good starters for development of more GABA-reinforced foods among fermented fish products.
