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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Gamma irradiation at 20 kGy was apploed to salted and fermented shrimps to evaluate its possible genotoxicity. The genotoxicity of irradiated salted and fermented shrimps was evaluated by Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay, chromosomal aberration test and in vivo micronucleus assay. The results were negative in the bacterial reversion assay with S. typhimurium TA98, TA100. No mutagenicity was detected in the assay both with and without metabolic activation. In chromosomal aberration tests with CHL cells and in vivo mouse micronucleus assay, no significant difference in the incidences of chromosomal aberration and micronuclei was observed between nonirradiated and 20 kGy-irradiated salted and fermented shrimps. These results indicate that salted and fermented shrimps irradiated at 20 kGy did not show any genotoxic effects under these experimental conditions.

This study was conducted to enhance the storage stability and the wholesomeness of salted and fermented shrimp manufactured with different salt levels by high hydrostatic pressure sterilization. The effects of high hydrostatic pressure treatment on the putrefactive bacteria in the fermented shrimps were investigated and the sterilization kinetics was analyzed. The initial microbial counts of the fermented shrimp with 8%, 18% salt aged for 6 weeks at $20^{circ}C$ were $1.6{\times}10^3,\;1.4{\times}10^4$ CFU/g for bacteria grown on Vibrio selective media, $9.3{\times}10^3,\;1.7{\times}10^5$ CFU/g for bacteria grown on Staphylococcus selective media, respectively, and null for bacteria grown on Salmonella selective media. The degree of the sterilization increased with the magnitude of the pressure and the treatment time. The fermented shrimp pressurized at 6,500 atm for 10 min had no detectable bacteria grown on Vibrio and Staphylococcus selective media at $10^2$ CFU/g detecting limit. High hydrostatic pressure sterilization could be analyzed by first order reaction kinetics. The $D_P$ values of the bacteria grown on Vibrio selective media of the fermented shrimp at 18% salt were higher than those at 8% salt, while those of the bacteria grown on Staphylococcus selective media showed an inverse trend. The $z_p$ values of 8% salt fermented shrimp were higher than those of 18% salt for both bacteria grown on Vibrio selective media and Staphylococcus selective media. High hydrostatic pressure treatment could be applied for the sterilization of the fermented shrimp, and the optimum high pressure sterilization condition was 10 min treatment at 6,500 atm.
