To understand the influences of NaCl concentration and fermentation temperature on the ripening process of low salt fermented squids, squid with 5%, 7% and 9% salt were fermented at 10$\^{C}$ and 20$\^{C}$. The result of the changes of volatile basic nitrogen and free amino acids during the fermentation of squids are as follows. As a result of the observations on the changes of physicochemical components during the fermentation process of the low-salted squids, all the pH, VBN and NH$_2$-N were increased and therefore the fermentation was promoted. Considering the changes of net components according to the fermentation, ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) lost and could not be detected among the nucleotides and their related compounds. Besides, AMP (Adenosine monophosphate) existed only in the initial stage and inosine, hypoxanthine were the main components of nucleotides and their related compounds. Nonvolatile organic acids are mainly lactic acid, acetic acid and also they occupied more than 80%. Seeing the composition of free amino acid, the major amino acids are proline, arginine, methionine, alanine and glutamic acid.

New manufacturing process was applied to manufacture the low salted Squid-Jeotgal to improve the quality variation salty taste and shelf-life. It's optimum salting and sugaring process was made by the addition of $17\%$ NaCl for 3 hr and $15\%$ corn syrup for 4 hr with 10 rpm agitation. Quality variations of Squid-Jeotgal produced by the improved and the conventional process were packed by jar, polyethylene lerephthalatefpolyethyleneilinear low density polyethylene (PET) and low density polyethylene (PE). And then quality variations of them were investigated at storage temperature of 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C.$ Decreasing rate of pH, increasing rates of VBN and viable cell counts of Squid-Jeotgal produced by the improved process were slower than those of the conventional process at all storage temperature. Sensory evaluation indicated that the production of Squid-Jeotgal by the improved process extended the shelf-life about 10-20 days.

The effects of gamma irradiation on taste compounds of low salted and fermented squid were investig ated. Salted and fermented squid products were prepared with salt concentrations of 5%, 10%, and 20% and was fermented at 15oC and 25oC after gamma irradiation with a dosage of 2.5~10 kGy. Amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), trimethylamine(TMA), and hypoxanthine(Hx) contents were examined during the fermentation periods. Results showed that gamma irradiation had no effect on the initial con tents of AN, VBN, TMA, and Hx compared with non irradiated salted and fermented squid. During the fermentation periods, these contents rapidly increased in accordance with the decrease in NaCl concen tration and irradiation dose, and the increase in fermentation temperature. Specifically, the taste compounds of salted and fermented squid prepared with a NaCl concentration of 10% and an irradiation dose of 10 kGy maintained the appropriate level for the fermentation period at 15oC.

Squid jeotgal is a very popular traditional, salted, and fermented seafood in Korea. Due to the development of a distribution structure, a lot of imported squid jeotgal has recently entered Korea. In this study, we analyzed and compared the microbial contamination levels of domestic and imported squid jeotgal. The total viable bacterial count in domestic and imported jeotgal was 5.20 and 5.38 log CFU/g, respectively. The highest contamination level was 6.94 log CFU/g in one of the imported squid jeotgal samples. Coliforms were not detected in domestic jeotgal but were detected at 50% with 2.21 log CFU/g in imported jeotgal. Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were not detected (ND: <1 log CFU/g) in both domestic and imported jeotgal. All samples of jeotgal were negative for Bacillus cereus and Clostridium perfringens. The microbial contamination levels determined in the current study may be utilized as primary data to execute microbial risk assessments on domestic and (or) imported jeotgal.

We investigated the effect low salt (2 or 4% salt) concentrations jeotgal made from Todarodes pacificus on the learning and memory impairments in scopolamine-induced (2 mg/kg, i.p.) dementia rats. Rats treated with oral BF-7 (200 mg/kg, p.o.) as a positive control and Todarodes pacificus jeotgal had significantly reduced scopolamine-induced memory deficits in the passive avoidance test. The Morris water maze test or treatment with 2% salt jeotgal made from Todarodes pacificus significantly ameliorated the scopolamine-induced memory deficits in the formation of long- and short-term memory. The acetylcholine content and acetylcholinesterase acitivity paralleled the results of the behavior experiment. There were no significant differences in the brain acetylcholine contents of the experimental groups, while the brain acetylcholine content of the group treated with 2% salt Todarodes pacificus jeotgal was higher than that of the control group. The inhibitory effect of 2% salt jeotgal made from Todarodes pacificus on the acetylcholinesterase activity in the brain was lower than that of the control group. These trends were similar to those of the gamma-aminobutyric acid content. We suggest that Todarodes pacificus jeotgal enhances learning memory and cognitive function by regulating cholinergic enzymes.

This study was designed to determine the seafood prcference of the 480 elcmentaty school children in Pusan. The survey was conducted from February 8 to February 22 in 2000. The correlation between nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude is highly significant. However there were no differences in nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude berween male and frmale students. Children's prefercnce is high in laver, crab, common squid, mackerel, hair tail, shrimp, but is low in oyster, warty sea squirt and salt-fermented seafood. The factors affected on the intake frequcncy of seafood and preference were dietary attitude of the children, cducation level of the mother and recommendation of the mother. Children's opinion on the intake of seafood was influenced by their nutrition knowledge and dietary attitude and the recommendation of the mother. Eating frequcncies of the seafood were not influenced by sex, family type, monthly food expenditure and dietary attitude of the mother.

니트로소디메틸아민이 발암성 물질이라는 것이 1954년 Barnes와 Magee에 의해 발견된 이래 이것이 지금까지 학자들에게 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 이유는 발암력이 강하여 극미량으로도 생체내에 암을 유발시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 대부분의 발암성 물질이 신체의 특정기관에 발암작용을 나타내는데 비해 이 물질은 신체의 여러 부위에 암을 유발시킬 수 있다는 점 그리고 이 물질이 햄, 소시지, 베이컨, 알코올음료, 김치 및 어류 가공품 등 어려 가지 식품에 널리 분포되어 있다는 사실 등을 들 수 있다. 니트로소 화합물은 구조로 보아 티트로소아민과 니트로소아미드로 구분되는데 전자는 제 2급 아연이 산화질소 유도체와 반응하여 생성된 니트로소 유도체이과 후자는 오소, 아미드 등이 치환된 니트로소 유도체로서 화학적인 성질이나 생물학적인 작용이 상이하다. 즉 니트로소아민은 식품에서 안정한 화합물인 반면에 대부분의 니트로소아미드는 불안정하다. 지금까지 연구된 바에 의하면 3백 여종의 니트로소 화합물에 대하여 동물실험을 행한 결과 발암성이 90% 이상 인정되었다. 식품 중 니트로소 화합물의 전구물질 중 질산염과 아질산염은 식품의 가공 저장 및 조리과정 중 니트로화의 된 전구물질인데 이는 육가공품의 색소고정, Cl. Botulinum에 의한 식중독 방지 및 풍미의 향상을 위하여 수 세기 동안 식품첨가제를 사용되어 왔으며, 유럽이나 미국 등지에서는 아직도 육가공품에 아질산염의 첨가가 논란의 대상이 되고 있다. 식품 중 니트로소 화합물에 대한 북유럽 식품 3천여 점을 분석한 결과 검출된 니트로소 화함물은 니트로소디메틸아민이 대부분이며 맥주에서 66%로 검출률이 가장 높았고 다음으로 염지육 및 치즈의 순 이었다. 조리한 일본산 해산 식품 중에 니트로소디메틸아민이 최고 313$\mu$g/kg, 캐나다산 해산 건조 식품에서는 67$\mu$g/kg, 홍콩산 염건어에는 1,400 $\mu$g/kg , 훈연어류에는 N-nitrosothiazolidine이 13,700 $\mu$g/kg , 우리 나라 해산 식품 중 니트로소디메틸아민은 건조가오리, 동결건조명태, 건조오징어, 굴비 및 소건새우 등에서 2.8~86.0 $\mu$g/kg 으로서 비교적 높은 양이 검출되었을 뿐 아니라 이들 식품을 조리할 경우 3.6~13배 증가하였다. 또한 김치와 젓갈류 중에서도 니트로소디메틸아민이 검출된다는 연구가 있다. 식품 중 니트로소 화합물의 생성율 억제시키기 위하여 최근 20여년간 연구된 바를 요약하면 아스코르브산과 같은 억제제의 첨가, 가공방법 및 조리방법의 개선이 비교적 바람직한 방법으로 인정되고 있다. 위의 방법을 적용하여 베이컨을 조리한 결과 낮은 온도에서 오랜 시간 가열하는 것이 높은 온도에서 짧은 시간 가열한 것보다 니트로화 반응이 훨씬 낮았고 또 마이크로웨이브로 조리하는 것이 니트로소아민을 최소화 시키는 방법이었다. 염지육은 아스코르브산이나 토코페롤 등의 니트로화 억제제를 첨가할 경우 니트로소 화합물이 현저히 감소 하였는데 이는 산화질소의 소거 능력이 우수하기 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 가공방법의 개선으로서는 가공시 식품을 공기에 노출시킬 경우 특히 직화로 가열된 공기에 노출되면 니트로소아민의 생성이 매우 높은 것으로 보고되어 있는데 그 대표적인 예로 맥아를 직화로 건조할 경우 맥주 중에 니트로소 화합물이 훨씬 높은 양이 검출된다고 보고되어 있다. 대체로 식품의 가공 조리 및 저장 중 니트로소화합물에 대한 메커니즘은 상세히 밝혀져 있으나 생체내에서의 생성이나 억제 등에 대한 연구는 아직도 미흡한 실정이라이 분야에 대한 연구가 절실히 요구된다.

A study on the seafood consumption was conducted from 1902 adolescent students (1110 boys and 792 girls) attending middle or high school to assess the attitude and degree of satisfaction for seafood being served in the school lunch program and ultimately to promote greater seafood consumption. A self-administered questionnaire was used to record the results. The results were as follows: Sixty percent of the respondents appeared to like or not to be reluctant to seafood. The main reasons for favoring seafood were its nutritious effect and taste. On the other hand, the reason for disliking seafood was due to its peculiar smell. In terms of cooking methods, the subjects preferred raw, fried, and grilled seafdod, whereas they disliked salt-fermented, seasoned and stewed dishes. The highly preferred seafood were crab, shrimp, tuna and squid. Only 6.6% of middle school students (MS) and 3.7% of high school students (HS) liked the seafood served in school lunch program, whereas the others responded 'so so'or disliked it. The reasons for disliking seafood being served in school lunch program were poor taste (14.7% of MS, 23.5% of HS), lack of freshness(6.3% of MS, 13.9% of HS) and unattractable cooking methods(3.4% of MS, 11.1% of HS). To promote seafood consumption in school lunch program, subjects anticipated the taste improvement (37.7% of MS, 48.5% of HS), use of a variety of seafood (19.8% of MS, 24.0% of HS) and cooking methods(12.6% of MS, 22.4% of HS). Above results suggested that further efforts are needed to provide preferred cooking methods and seafood items as a way of increasing seafood acceptability.

The purpose of study was to introduce menus consisting of traditional local foods consumed in Busan, Korea. Five different types of formal meal menus with three side dishes and five different types of informal meal menus of which the main dish was not cooked rice were developed. Scores for the menu evaluations of formal and informal meals were higher than 7.9 (mean score of 6 category) on a 9.0 scale, suggesting that the menus were well constituted in terms of 'repeated use of ingredients and cooking methods', 'balance between main and side dishes', 'frequency of usage of local products', 'nutritional balance', 'variety of dishes', and 'popularization'. Nutritional values of menus were compared with those of the KDRI for men aged 30~49 years old. All ten menus reflected a low calorie, high protein, and high fiber diet. Mineral contents (Ca, Fe, Zn, K, and Na) of the above 10 menus were higher than those of the KDRI. On the other hand, vitamin contents slightly differed according to meal type due to limited fresh vegetable usage in the winter season. Vitamin A, B ($B_1$, $B_2$, niacin, $B_6$), C, folic acid, and E contents in the five informal menus were found to be proper or greater than those of the KDRI. However, for the formal meal menus, all vitamin contents except that of vitamin A in menu type I was lower than that of the KDRI. Content of vitamin C in menu type V was approximately 50% of that of the KDRI. The most preferred formal menu was consisted of Ogokbap, Boreumjijimi, Dongchimi, Namul (nine varieties), Gaksaeksanjeok (Shark/Daegu/Gunso), and Gimgui. And that for informal menu was consisted of Honghapjuk, Baechu kimchi, Dongchimi, Miyeokseolchi, Kodari jorim, and Neulgeun hobakjeon. Suggestions for providing more fresh vegetables or fruits for certain types of meals (formal meal type V) were offered. Additionally, pre-preparation of sea products were required to reduce Na contents.
