The purpose of this study is to prepare the fish sauce front mackerel scrap which usually comprises $40{\sim}50%$ of raw fish in processing. Mackerel scrap was chopped, mired with equal weight of water, and then hydrolyzed by autolysis. The optimal conditions for hydrolysis of .mackerel scrap were at $55^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. The maximum hydrolyzed rate of protein was 65% by autolysis. Crude protein content (6.5%) and color of mackerel sauce were similar to those of traditional soybean sauce. The abundant amino acids in mackerel sauce were leucine (22.8%), isoleucine (15.0%), phenylalanine (12.6%) and valine (12.5%). In sensory evaluation, mackerel sauce was at least equal to the traditional soybean sauce in product quality.

A study on the optimum hydrolysis conditions of fish skin through the aid of enzymes and the development of a natural seasoning using the hydrolysate has been carried out for the effective utilization of fish skin. Using the "pH-drop" techniques the collagenase and pronase were identified as most suitable for this purpose. The $K_m$ and $V_{max}$ values of pronase were 1.82 mgN/ml and 0.06 mgN/mL/min, respectively. The hydrolysis conditions of the cod skin for the pronase were as follows: reaction temperature, $50^{\circ}C$; reaction time, 3hrs; pH 6; enzyme concentration, 0.03%. The degree of hydrolysis at these conditions was 76.8%. But after hydrolyzing cod skin with collagenase for 1hr, when the pronase was treated, the degree of hydrolysis was 83.13%. The molecular weight of the hydrolysate was 8,000 daltons. Among the amino acids in the hydrolysate, glycine(27.95%), glutamic acid(10.94%), proline(7.39%), aspartic acid(9.47%) and serine(7.39%) were responsible for 64.23% of the total amino acids. But valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine and histidine having a bitter taste were only 13.05%. From the results of the sensory evaluation, the imitation sauce which was made of 20% fermented soy sauce prepared from the hydrolysate was at least similar to the traditional soybean sauce in product quality. The complex seasoning containing 31.7% of the hydrolysate was nearly equal to complex seasonings on the market, too.

한식간장은 콩을 주원료로 하여 콩속의 성분을 수용성단백질 및 아미노산으로 변화시켜만든 조미료로서, 콩으로 메주를 만든다음 20일 동안 배양해서 만든 종국(Seed)과 혼합후 발효시킴으로써 제조되며 발효공정을 통해 Total Nitrogen이 증가되게 된다. 이러한 한식간장은 탈지대두를 사용하는 양조간장과는 달리 메주를 쑤어서 만들기 때문에 탈지가 되지 않은 제조과정으로 인하여 여과 및 공정중 발생하는 잡물질의 제거가 어렵게 된다. 제조공정중 여과공정을 거치게 되는데 여과포를 사용한 압착공정으로 이루어지며 여과된 간장에는 발효에 사용된 균$\cdot$효모등이 $10^7$개/ml 수준으로 존재하여 저장안정성 및 품질보전을 위해 열처리 과정을 거치게 된다. 이 열처리가 끝난 간장은 방치$\cdot$냉각시켜 첨가제를 혼합한 후 포장된다. 냉각과정중 2차 침전물이 생성되기도 하며 멸균이 확실치 않거나 2차 오염등으로 인한 발효로 인해 $CO_2$ Gas가 발생하기도 하여 품질이 나빠지는 원인이 된다. 이러한 열살균방식은 에너지를 많이 소비하고 열살균시 간장성분으로 인한 Scale 형성등 문제점을 안고 있다. 또한 열살균을 통해 살균은 할 수 있지만 사균, 분해물질, 간장에 함유된 고약한 냄새를 풍기는 잡성분의 제거는 불가능하다.

The Antarctic krill, Euphausia superba, is drawing attention over the world as the largest source of unutilized proteins in the ocean. For the use of krill as a human food, processing conditions of krill sauce by autolysis and/or commercial proteolytic enzyme digestion were examined. The krill was chopped and mixed with equal weight of water, and hydrolyzed by autolysis and/or commercial proteolytic enzyme digestion. The optimal conditions for hydrolysis of krill were $52.5^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0-7.5, 3 hours by autolysis, $52.5^{\circ}C$, pH 6.3, 3hours by bromelain (0.5 %) digestion, and $52.5^{\circ}C$, pH 7.0-7.5, 3 hours by commercial complex enzyme (5 %) digestion, respectively The maximum hydrolyzing rate of protein were 83.2 % by autolysis, 89.7 % by bromelain digestion, 92.7 % by commercial complex enzyme digestion. After krill meat hydrolyzed by autolysis at optimum condition, inactivated at $100^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes and filtered with Buchner funnel. Two kinds of products were prepared with krill hydrolysate and preservatives: one contained 10 % of sodium chloride and 0.06 % of benzoic acid and the other 10 % of sodium chloride and 3 % of ethyl alcohol. These products were filled in the sterilized glass bottle and sealed. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen, amino nitrogen, color value (L, a and b values) and viable counts of bacteria were determined during storage at $37^{\circ}C$. The results showed that the products could be preserved in good condition during one month at $37^{\circ}C$. As a method to reduce the sodium level in krill sauce, it is convinced that sodium chloride could be replaced half in partially by potassium chloride. In the products prepared from krill by autolysis, bromelain or commercial complex enzyme digestion, hypoxanthine and 5'-IMP were abundant among the nucleotides and their related compounds as 15.3-20.4 ${\mu}mole/g$, dry solid, 2.2-2.5 ${\mu}mole/g$, dry solid, respectively. The abundant free amino acids were lysine, leucine, proline, alanine and valine. The contents of these amino acids were 67.4 %, 69.4 %, 69.8 % of the total free amino acids of each products. And TMAO, betaine and total creatinine were low in contents. The flavor of krill sauce prepared from krill by autolysis or enzyme digestion was not inferior to that of traditional Kerean soy sauce by sensory evaluation.

For the effective utilization of skipjack tuna viscera, a study was carried out to investigate the applicability of viscera protein hydrolysate (VPH) as a protein supplement in the processing of imitation sauce and bread. The optimum extraction and hydrolyzation conditions for the production of viscera protein concentrate (VPC) and viscera protein hydrolysate (VPH) were determined. Boiled viscera could be extracted by ethyl alcohol without significant deterioration as a raw material for the further processing. High quality of VPH could be obtained by hydrolysis with 1% pepsin under its optimum condition $(pH\;1.65,\;37^{\circ}C)$. The solubilities of VPC and VPH were 40% and 90%, respectively, and the essential amino acid contents in two products were 48.7% and 63.2%, respectively. Especially, the content of taurine, a physiologically important amino acid, was 9.4% in VPH. In experimental preparations of imitation sauce and bread, panel test showed that the supplementation of 10% of VPH in imitation sauce and $3{\sim}5%$ of VPH in bread was well accepted in sensory characteristics such as color, flavor, taste and texture.

Removal of monochloropropanediol (MCPD) and improvement of quality of the soy-sauce made from acid-hydrolyzate of defatted soy protein (SAHSP) were examined by fermenting the soy-sauce with soy-sauce koji or koji plus Pediococcus soya or/and Saccharomyces rouxii. The overall fermentation process performed in this work consisted sequentially of autodigestion of soy-sauce koji $(at\;45^{\circ}C\;for\;12\;days)$, lactic acid fermentation $(at\;30^{\circ}C\;for\;14\;days\;in\;S3\;and\;S4)$, ethanol fermentation $(at\;30^{\circ}C\;for\;14\;days\;in\;S2\;and\;S4)$,and aging $(at\;25^{\circ}C\;for\;20\;days)$. At the end of the autodigestion period, the highest MCPD removal (from the initial 38.6 ppm to 1.3 ppm) was observed in the S-2. Reducing sugar contents of the S-2 and S-4 sharply decreased from the 30th day of incubation, from the initial concentration of about 5.0% to less than 0.5% at the end of the process. Total soluble nitrogen content of all the soy-sauce products slightly increased during the overall fermentating period.The level of free glutamic acid, a major amino acid that is known to determine the taste of soy-sauce was determined to be an average value of $1270{\sim}1323\;mg/100\;mL$ of soy-sauce. The results of sensory evaluation of the fermented SAHSPs show that qualities of the S-2 and S-4 samples are nearly on the same level with that of the commercially fermented soy-sauce (p<0.05). This result suggests that the fermentation process in this work, especially the process performed with S. rouxii has a good effect for removing MCPD from SAHSP and also for improving quality of the SAHSP product.

A Bacillus strain from Korean soil was isolated and identified to be Bacillus licheniformis B1 through various biochemical tests, VITEK, and MIDI system analysis. The strain produced extracellular amylase and protease. Whether or not the strain can perform Chungkookjang fermentation with autoclaved soybean and Kanjang fermentation was determined in this study. In Chungkookjang fermentation, browining materials of strong anti-oxidant increased 8-fold, and 2-fold in Kanjang, compared with initiation material for fermentation. Maximal protease activity in Chungkookjang was observed one day after inoculation. Protease activities in Kanjang decreased to the half, and then maintained constant values during fermentation, probably due to the inhibitory effect of salt on protease activities. High molecular mass of nucleic acids was identified in Chungkookjang and Kanjang. Since the nucleic acids were not observed in autoclaved soybean, they seem to be originated from B. licheniformis B1. This study demonstrated successive fermentation of Chungkookjang and Kanjang by B. licheniformis B1 isolated from nature, and suggested possible development of food rich in browing and nucleic acids.

Soy sauce is a traditional fermented seasoning in several oriental countries, such as Korea and Japan, and recently it has been reported to have biological activities. In Korean soy sauce, soybeans and wheat are the two main raw materials. Polysaccharides that originate from the cell wall of soybeans are resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis. These polysaccharides remain in the soy sauce even after fermentation and are termed Kanjang polysaccharides (KPS). In this study, polysaccharides were obtained from dialysate of different soy sauces labeled as A~T and manufactured by fermentation or the acid-hydrolyzate method. We investigated anti-inflammatory activities by examining the effects of these KPS on proinflammatory cytokine release and mRNA expression in mast cells. Histamine and ${\beta}$-hexosaminidase release were strongly decreased by the KPS treatment in RBL-2H3 cells. Treatment with KPS clearly reduced mRNA expression and the release of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-${\alpha}$) in PMACI-stimulated HMC-1 cells. In particular, KPS derived from fermented Kanjang products showed a significant anti-inflammation effect on mast cells compared to the acid-hydrolyzed Kanjang products. This study suggests that KPS appear to be effective in suppressing allergic inflammatory reactions.

The changes of nitrogen utilization ratio (NUR), Protein solution ratio (PSR) and free sugar contents during the amino acid soysauce manufacturing process by a low hydrochloric acid, temperature were investigated. On hydrolysis by 6%-HCI (3 liquor rate of defatted soybean weight, 3LR) at $85^{\circ}C$, NUR and PSR were 74.51%, 56.49% at 65 hours. At the same time free sugars were detected glucose, galactose, arabinose, fructose, xylose. on hydrolysis at $95^{\circ}C$, NUR and PSR were 77.72%, 64.04% at 50 hours, and 5 free sugars of the above statement were detected at 5 hours. Remarkable decreases in the levels of free sugars, only glucose were observed after 80 hours of the hydrolysis. On hydrolysis by 12%-HCI(3LR) at $95^{\circ}C$, NUR and IRA were 88.41%, 69.47% at 50 hours, free sugar were nearly disappeared after 20-35hours. On hydrolysis, galactose's disappearence rate was faster than glucose's.
