To prepare a new type of fish sauce from skipjack scrap, it was examined the effect of koji on the sauce flavor, conditions of low salt fish sauce processing and the changes of taste com-pounds during its fermentation. To prepare the skipjack scrap sauce, chopped skipjack head paste was mixed with $6.6\%$ skipjack viscera, $26.9\%$ koji, $71\%$ of $25\%$ brine, $13.3\%$ salt and $7.6\%$ glucose, and fermented at $25\pm4^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. The same process was also carried out to prepare the low salt skipjack scrap sauce adding $7.6\%$ sorbitol, $0.3\%$ lactic acid and $9.8\%$ ethyl alcohol instead of $13.3\%$ salt. The major free amino acids in the products were glutamic acid, Iysine, valine, phenylalanine, alanine, leucine and isoleucine at 90 days of fermentation. And the contents of total free amino acids in both products were 3,307mg/00m1, 3,637.1mg/100m1 at 90 days of fermentation. The predominating non-volatile organic acids showed in the products were lactic acid, succinic acid, pyroglutamic acid, which were $90\%$ over contents of the total non-volatile organic acids. Total non-volatile organic acid contents in both products were 1,002.1mg/100ml, 1,312.9mg/100m1 at 90 days of fermentation. During fermentation of sauce, ADP, AMP and IMP were decreased, while inosine and hypoxanthine were increased. The major taste compounds of the products were rove진ed free amino acids and non-volatile organic acids. The nucleotides and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine, TAMO and sugar were seemed to be having an auxiliary role in taste of those products. Fishy odor in skipjack scrap sauce can be improved by adding koji. And the low salt skipjack scrap sauce ($9.12\%$ of salt contents) can be prepared by the replacement of a part of salt with sorbitol, lactic acid and ethyl alcohol. From the results of sensory evaluation and chemical experiments, the skipjack scrap sauce products supposed to be at least equal to the sold soy sauce on the market in quality.

Fish sauces prepared from sardine, Sardinops melanosticta were tested for inhibitory activity against angiotensin-I converting enzyme(ACE). Three kinds of fish sauces were prepared from scrap(S), meat(M) and round(R) of sardine, respectively. ACE inhibitory activity of sardine sauce S and R decreased with the elapse of fermentation period, whereas that of sardine sauce M increased to 30 days and thereafter decreased. ACE inhibitory activity of sardine sauce M fermented with koji was higher than that without koji. And occurrence of $5\%$ TCA soluble peptide-nitrogen was similar to tendancy of the ACE inhibitory activity. The ACE inhibitory activity increased with an increment of amounts added and was stable at heat treatment in boiling water bath for 5hrs. $IC_{50}\%$ (Amounts of inhibitors need for $50\%$ inhibition) of the sardine sauce S, M and R fermented with(without) koji during 90 days was $125{\mu}g(140{\mu}g),\;200{\mu}g(100{\mu}g)$ and $125{\mu}g(135{\mu}g)$, respectively. From the profiles of fractionation of the sardine sauce R fermented without koji for 90 days, the molecular weight of most active fraction was about 1,400 and the amino acids of Glu, Ala, Leu and Lys were found in abundance.

Anchovy soy sauce was fermented at ambient temperature in 20 L new Onggi, used Onggi, stainless steel, and plastic containers, and sauce quality was analyzed. Microporous insulated Onggi containers were found to promote fermentative microbial growth, thus creating desirable conditions for the preparation of good-quality anchovy soy sauce. The use of used Onggi containers yielded an anchovy soy sauce with high contents of total nitrogen and free amino acids, which afforded good sensory qualities with respect to odor, taste, and overall acceptability.

In order to increase the availability of filefish scrap, the ordinary and low salt sauce were prepared, and identified their taste compounds in their products. To process the filefish scrap sauce, chopped filefish scrap was mixed with koji, 25% brine, slat and glucose (25.0 : 65.0 : 12.5 : 7.0, w/w) and fermented at $25{\pm}4^{\circ}C$ for 120 days. The same process was also carried out to process the low salt sauce adding sorbitol, lactic acid and ethyl alcohol (7.0 : 0.7 : 9.0. w/w) instead of salt. While amino nitrogen and volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) of products were decreased, pH and reducing sugar were increased all alone the fermentation period. The major free amino acids of products at final stage of fermentation were glutamic acid, alanine, leucine, lysine and aspartic acid. And the contents of total amino acid in the ordinary and low salt sauce were 4126.6(mg/100m1 sauce), 4519.5(mg/100m1 sauce) after fermentation. Hypoxanthine was revealed as the major constituent among nucleotides and their related compounds through fermentation. Free amino acid-N in the filefish scrap sauces were from 56.3%(ordinary) to 60.7%(low salted) of extractive nitrogen. From the sensory evaluation, the quality of products from filefish scrap sauce were almost equal to sold soy sauce on the market.

For commercial production of Korean fermented anchovy sauce through rapid fermentation, a bacterial strain which showed the high protease activity was isolated from a commercially fermented anchovy sauce. The isolate was Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and named as B. amyloliquefaciens HTP-8. The incubation temperature, initial pH, and cultivation time for optimal production of protease by B. amyloliquefaciens HTP-8 were $30^{\circ}C$, 7.0, and 3 days, respectively. In jar fermenter, B. amyloliquefaciens HTP-8 showed higher protease activity when grown at pH 7.0. The protease was partially purified by 80% ammonium sulfate precipitation and CM-Sephadex C-50 ion exchange chromatography. The partially purified enzyme had specific activity of 103.3 units/mg, yield of 0.4%, and purification fold of 43.0. The optimal pH and temperature for the protease activity were 10.0 and $50^{\circ}C$, respectively. The protease was relatively stable at the pH range of 7.0~12.0 and at the temperatures below 4$0^{\circ}C$. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by $Ag^{＋}$ /, $Ba^{2＋}$ and selectively inhibited by PMSF, suggesting that it is a serine protease.

For the effective utilization of dark meat separated as by-product from skip-jack canning, the dark meat concentrate(DPC) was prepared by removal of extractable materials with ethanol from dried dark meat. Dark meat protein hydrolysate(DPH) was prepared by the hydrolysis of DPC with ${\alpha}-chymotrypsin$. ${\alpha}-Chymotrypsin$ hydrolysed DPC to the extend of 79% during 10hr. The solubility over a pH range 1~12 showed similar trend on the both of DPH and DPC. The highest solubility was 81% on the DPH and was 36% on the DPC at pH 3. The lowest solubility was 65% on the DPH and was 22% on the DPC at pH 7. The content of total free amino acid was higher in the DPC than in the DPH, but the content of total essential free amino acid was higher in the DPH. Especially, the contents of taurine in the DPC and DPH were much higher than those of other amino acids. The result of sensory evaluation on the fish sauce analogue showed good taste, color and odor at the supplemented level of 8g DPH per 100ml of raw solution of fish sauce analogue and didn't show signifcaint difference compared with market fish sauce(p<0.05). On the preparation of surimi gel, 2% substitution of DPH for the supplemented starch was the most appropriate level.

This study was conducted to investigate 1he quality characteristics of 1he soybean anchovy sauces added with medicinal herbs, Saururu chinensis Baill. and Houttuynia cordata Thunb. and fermented for 4 months. The total nitrogen content of 1he soybean anchovy sauce increased with the fermentation time showing the highest values in the sauce with Houttuynia cordata Thunb.. The contents of total sugar and reduced sugar were high in the order of the sauces with Houttuynia cordata Thunb.(sauce T), with Saururu chinensis Baill.(sauce B), and control. The content of salt decreased much more in the sauces with medicinal herbs. After 4 months of fermentation, pH was lowered from 5.86 to 5.27 in control, to 5.38 and 5.54 in sauce B and sauce T, respectively. Generally the total aerobic bacterial count increased until 3 months of fermentation and then decreased, and the addition of medicinal hems reduced the count especially showing apparent reduction in the sauce T. During the fermentation, total protease activity generally increased with the highest value in the sauce T. In the changes of nucleotides and their related compounds, the contents of AMP, ADP, and ATP were increased and hypoxanthine decreased during the fermentation, and IMP produced after 3 months. The soybean anchovy sauce B had 1he highest IMP and the lowest hypoxanthine after 4 months. The content of total amino acids increased showing 177.1 mg% and 134.7 mg% in the sauce B and sauce T respectively compared with 171.2 mg% of control. The contents of glutamic acid and aspartic acid were 29.2 mg% in sauce B and 34.3 mg% in sauce T, which were higher compared with 25.9 mg% of control. The fermented soybean anchovy sauce had 1he functionality of ACE inhibition with 70.5% (control), 72.5% (sauce B) and 81.6% (sauce T). In the results of sensory evaluation, the sance T scored the highest and the sauce B was preferred to control.

Fish sauce is a traditional Korean fermented seafood and has been used as a condiment since long time ago. Northern sand lance sauce was manufactured with koji, enzyme, and squid viscera of fermentation accelerating agents, and ripened at $15^{\circ}C$. Moisture contents of all samples decreased gradually as fermentation progressed. Crude protein contents increased rapidly up to 1 month-fermentation and then increased slightly up to 5 month. Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera was the highest in the contents of protein and lipid. The ash content increased gradually during the fermentation periods, while pHs decreased. TMA contents increased up to 3 month-ripening and then decreased slightly. Amino nitrogen content of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera increased as fermentation progressed and was the highest among all samples. VBN contents increased up to 5 month-ripening and that of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera was the higher than others.
