The effect of glutinous rice paste on the physicochemical, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of Puchukimchi during fermentation was investigated. Puchukimchi is a kind of korean kimchi made with Leek (Allium odorum L.). Puchukimchi made with various concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0%) of glutinous rice paste were fermentated at 10$^{\circ}C$ up to 45 days. As a fermentation progressed, pH decreased in all of the treatments, while total acidity increased. By increasing the concentrtion of glutinous rice paste added, an increase of total acidity was noted from Puchukimchi. The reducing sugar content in most samples was decreased during fermentation, however, 1.0% treatment showed a relatively slow decrease. The total vitamin C content increased sharply at the 2nd-day of fermentation and then, gradually decreased especially from the 8th-day following a sigmoidal changing pattern. The total vitamin C content was the highest in Puchukimchi made with 1.0% glutinous rice paste. The counts of lactic acid bacteria increased remarkably and then decreased gradually after optimum ripening period, i.e., the palatable period of Puchukimchi during fermentation.

As one of the research series for the industrialization of sikhae, this study was evaluated the taste compounds present in different temperature conditions, $5^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and alternating temperature (stored at $5^{\circ}C$ after 10 days fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$), respectively. The changes in proximate compositions were negligible but the amounts of total sugar decreased during fermentation. The pH of sikhae products except the product fermented at $5^{\circ}C$, decreased during fermentation and was maintained at the rage of 3.8~4.4 after 10 days. The values of acidity, VBN and amino-N gradually increased with fermentation times and with increasing temperature condition in all products. Three organic acids (lactic, citric and malic acid) were disclosed as key compounds affecting the sourness in Alaska pollack sikhae. The result of taste value revealed that 6 amino acids having sweet and umami taste (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine and lysine) and bitter taste (valine and methionine) as major amino acids affecting the taste of sikhae products, and increased with fermentation times. Hypoxanthine was the main component in ATP related compounds. Amino-N was comprised more over 50% of the Ex-N in sikhae products, and followed by total creatinine-N, TMAO-N and TMA-N in that order.

Nonvolatile organic acids were determined in raw Chinese cabbage, Kimchis fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ and at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. Total acids were isolated by ion-exchange chromatography and quantitative determination of individual acids was performed by silicic acid partition column chromatography. Acids were identified qualitatively by paper chromatography. Palatability of Kimchis was evaluated by nine pannels. Results were as follows: Maleic, fumaric, lactic, succinic, malonic, oxalic, glycolic, malic, citric, tartaric, sulphuric and phosphoric acid were found in raw Chinese cabbage. Kimchis fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, and at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. In raw Chinese cabbage, most of organic acids were in salt form and malic acid was highest in amount. In Kimchi fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$, the amount of lactic acid and succinic acid was higher than that in Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$, and, tartaric, oxalic, malic, malonic, maleic, glycolic and fumaric acids were less than those in Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. Kimchi fermented at $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ had a more flavorous sour taste than Kimchi fermented at $22^{\circ}{\sim}23^{\circ}C$. It is assumed that large amount of lactic acid and succinic acid in Kimchi fermented st $6^{\circ}{\sim}7^{\circ}C$ have a connection with flavorous sour taste.

This studies were carried out to investigate the effect of ing redients of Kimchi such as garlic, ginger and leek on the fermentation of Kimchi. The effect of ingredients on the growth of lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi and on the fermentation of salted chinese cabbbage and Kimchi were also investigated. The lactic acid bacteria isolated from Kimchi were identified as Lactosaciffeg plantaruut, Lactobacillus brevis, Leuconostoc mesenteroides and Pediococus cerevisiae. The growth of these oreanismg was inhibited by garlic or ginger. Inhibitory effect of ginger or was more significant than that of garlic in the broth medium extracted from chinese cabbage at $37^{\circ}C$. The fermentation of salted chinese cabbage was inhibited by addition of garlic or ginger at $25^{\circ}C$. The fermentation of salted chinese cabbage inhibited during only first days and accerlated thereafter by addition of garlic. The fermentation of mixed in gredients added Kimchi was inhibitedduring 1 to 2 days compared with that of ingredients not added Kimchi. The inhibitory effect of ingredients on fermentation was due to growth inhibition of the lactic acid bacteria at initial period of fermentation.

In this study, anchovy were prepared with two different salt concentration of 20% and 10% which added 2, 5, 8 and 10% of grind garlic (LAS 1, 2, 3, 4) and garlic juice (LSB 1, 2, 3, 4), respectively. The experimental samples were fermented during 30, 60, 90, 110 days, which were analyzed pH, peroxide value, TBARS (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) and fatty acid. pH increased as fermentation-period goes by. 110th day of fermentation, pH was neutralized at pH 6.2-6.7. Peroxide value in the 10% salt added groups reach the highest point at 60 days fermentation, and then decreased during its fermentation. TBARS increased until 90 days fermentation and then decreased remarkably in all groups. At 90 days fermentation, TBARS contents were 13.0 and 14.4 MA (㎎/㎏) in 10% grind garlic added group (LSA4) and 10% garlic juice added group (LSB4), respectively. The major composition of fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1, 16:1,20:5, 20:6 and 14:0, in order. These fatty acids were 80% of total fatty acids. The fatty acid composition ratio was little increased and decreased during fermentation period, and polyunsaturated fatty acid decreased a little at 110 days.

Different amounts of powder and concentrate (0.5% and 1.0%) of Prnus mume were added to doenjang and were examined during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C$. Moisture and amino nitrogen content were gradually increased, regardless of the amount of powder and concentrate of Prnus mume (PCP). A rapid increase in moisture and amino nitrogen was shown at initial 2 week of fermentation. Control showed a higher amino nitrogen content and microbial load (yeast and mold) than samples with PCP. Reducing sugar content was rapidly decreased after 2 weeks, but was plateaued after 4 weeks. Color (L, a and b) of doenjang had the highest value at 4 weeks, but was decreased thereafter. Weter extracts from samples with PCP were lower in radical scavenging activity than that of control, but methanol extracts and ethanol extracts were generally higher than that of control. Based on On sensory evaluation of doenjang after 6 weeks, control 1 was better than other treatments in color, aroma and taste. Significant difference was not observed among control 1, control 2 and samples with 0.5% PCP.

Monascus koji have been used as a natural food colorant and preservative in Asia countries for centuries. This study was investigated to the chemical properties of Doenjang prepared with Monascus koji. Four kinds of Doenjang were fermented with Aspergillus koji only and Aspergillus koji plus 10%, 20% and 30% Monascus koji of its amount, respectively, and the changes of characteristics were investigated during fermentation. All the Monascus koji substituted Doenjang showed lower protease activities than Aspergillus koji Doenjang over all periods of fermentation. No differences of amino nitrogen and free amino acids were found after 30 days of fermentation and reducing sugars and peptides were found during over all periods of fermentation in each other. The Monascus koji gave higher a-, L- and C-values and lower h-values than Aspergillus koji. Sensory profiles of color, flavor, taste and overall quality on the final products which fermented during 60 days, indicated that there were no differences each other. From these results Monascus koji suggested as 30% substitutes for Aspergillus koji in Doenjang preparation.

To investigate changes of components in salt-fermented anchovy sauce by long fermentation, various chemical properties were examined. The moisture, crude protein, crude lipid, and crude ash contents of the anchovy sauce by fermentation were 67.48~69.35%, 5.47~7.40%, 0.27~0.47% and 23.82~24.12%. The moisture and pH was decreased slightly, but the contents of crude protein, crude lipid, acidity and amino-N degree were increased gradually by long fermentation. And contents of crude ash, VBN and salinity showed almost no change. Total free amino acid contents of 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 year fermented samples were 8,762.2 mg%, 9,484.6 mg%, 10,085.8 mg%, 10,650.7 mg% and 10,123.7 mg% respectively. Major free amino acid of samples were glutamic acid, leucine, lysine, alanine, valine, isoleucine in ordor. The samples were caused by their composition of the free amino acids rations, in which were umami, sweet and bitter taste in the extracts of anchovy during long fermentation. In Hunter values, fermented samples were generally lower in L, b values whereas higher in a, ${\Delta}E$ values. And absorbance at 453 nm was increased gradually by fermentation. Sensory evaluation result of samples, 6 years sample was the highest than the others in overall acceptance.

The effect of additives on the quality of low-salt doenjang was investigated. The amylase activity of the mustard added group decreased during the fermentation period, and the number of yeast and bacteria was also decreased during the fermentation period. The oxidation-reduction potential was low at the later fermentation stages for the mustard and mustard-garlic added groups, and water activity decreased considerably for the alcohol added group. The L-value of alcohol added doenjang decreased with increases in the a-value. The pH was 4.84 in the mustard added group. The reducing sugar content was 10.15% in the alcohol-garlic added group, and the alcohol production was limited by adding mustard. The amino-type and ammonia-type nitrogen were high in garlic and mustard added groups. Alcohol and alcoholgarlic added groups exhibited significantly improved taste and overall acceptability of doenjang.

전남지방의 전통 수산발효식품인 토하젓의 인지도 향상 및 국가경쟁력을 갖춘 지역특산품으로 발전시키기 위한 일련의 연구로써, 식품학적 기초자료를 얻기위하여 숙성기간이 다른 시판 토하젓을 구입하여 정미성분을 분석.검토하였다. 저온(5$\pm$2$^{\circ}C$)에서 90일간숙성시킨 토하젓의 전체 유리아미노산 함량은 건물당 1873.0mg/100g)보다 2배이상 많았다. 한편 숙성된 토하젓의 주요 유리아미노산(719.4mg/100g) 보다 2배 이상 많았다. 한편 숙성된 토하젓의 주요 유리아미노산은 glutamic acid, alanine, leucine, valine 및 phenylalanine으로 전체 유리아미노산에 대해 58.6%를 차지하였다. 핵산 관련물질은 담금 직후 및 숙성된 토하젓 모두 hypoxanthine의 함량이 월등히 많았으며, 그 다음으로 AMP 및 IMP순이였다. 그리고 숙성된 토하젓은 담금 직후의 토하젓과 비교해서 AMP 및 IMP는 적었으나, hypoxanthine의 함량은 많았다. 불휘발성 유기산을 GC분석한 결과, 담금 직후 및 숙성된 제품 모두에 lactic acid가 가장 많아 각각 건물당 389.3mg/100g 및 752.3mg/100g이였고, succinic acid는 미량 함유되어 있었다. 90일간 숙성된 TMAO, betaine 및 total creatinine 함량은 건물량 기준으로 각각 63.6mg/100g, 179.1mg/100g 및 123.7mg/100g이었다. Omission test를 이용하여 각정미성분을 관능검사한 결과, 유리아미노산 및 불휘발성 유기산이 토하젓의 맛에 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 밝혀졌으며, 핵산 관련물질은 그다지 맛에 대한 기여도가 높지 않았다. 따라서 시판 토하젓의 맛에는 유리 아미노산 및 불휘발성 유기산이 중요한 역할을 하며, 핵산 관련물질이나 TMAO, betaine 및 total creatinine은 보조적인 역할을 할 것으로 생각된다.
