A study on the processing method of anchovy hydrolysate paste (AHP) was carried out to improve the sensory quality of salted and fermented fish. Homogenized whole anchovy was hydrolyzed using commercial pretenses, Complex enzyme-2000 (CE, Pacific Chem. Co.) and Alcalase (AL, Novo), in a cylindrical vessel with 4 baffle plates and 6-bladed turbine impeller. Optimal pH, temperature, and enzyme concentration for the hydrolysis with CE and AL were $7.0,\;52^{\circ}C,\;7\%$, and $8.0,\;60^{\circ}C,\;6\%$, respectively. The rational amount of water for homogenization, agitation speed, and hydrolyzing time were $100\%\;(w/w)$, 100 rpm, and 210 min, respectively. To make the hydrolysate to paste type, it was effective to mix the additives, such as starch, soybean protein, agar, and carrageenan gum to the hydrolysate 5 min before the end of boiling at $100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Minimal NaCl concentration for long-term preservation was $15\%$, and this could be reduced to $12\%$ by adding $5\%$ of KCl. yield of the AHP based on the total nitrogen content was $94.6\~97.0\%,\;and\;86.0\~89.2\%$, of the nitrogen was amino nitrogen. Salinity, pH and histamine content of the AHP prepared with $12\%$ NaCl and $5\%$ KCl were $9.3\~9.9\%,\;6.1\~6.2$, and below 13 mg/100 g, respectively. The AHP was stable at $26{\pm}3^{\circ}C$ for 60 days on bacterial growth, and addition of $0.05\%$ of rosemary (Herbalox) extract was effective to inhibit the lipid oxidation of the AHP during storage.

Pectic substances are important to sustain the textural properties of kimchi during fermentation and distribution. Therefore proper control of pectin degrading enzyme activity is critical on quality control in kimchi industry. Pectin degrading enzymes of kimchi ingredients were assayed to improve the product quality. Among pectin degrading enzymes, polygalacturonase and pectinesterase were selected. The specific activity of polygalacturonase was the highest in salted and fermented anchovy, followed by chinese radish. Considering the amount of protein contents, salted and fermented anchovy and dried red pepper showed higher polygalacturonase activity than other ingredients. In terms of specific activity, chinese radish showed the highest pectinesterase activity, followed by salted and fermented anchovy. However, the total activity of salted and fermented anchovy was the highest. Chinese radish showed higher pectinesterase activity than any other ingredients.

Freeze-drying process was used for 10 major protein foods referred by the Korea Health Statistics 2011 as follows; chicken, pork, beef, eggs, tofu, squid, soybean, mackerel, anchovy, and pollack/frozen pollack. Boiled samples and re-hydrated samples after freeze-drying were prepared for analysis. The weight variation, the chromaticity, the mechanical texture and sensory properties by eight trained panelists were measured. In the ratio of re-hydration, the anchovy showed the highest value(89.40%), followed by eggs, and squid showed the lowest value(35.51%). Changes of Hunter color value were observed among all samples. For rates on changes of hardness, every sample was increased except for eggs(p<.05). Among the 9 samples, except for eggs, chicken showed the lowest rate of increase in hardness(125.44%) while squid showed the highest rate of increase in hardness(1335.1%). Except for eggs and pork, eight samples represented differences in sensory properties, especially in juiciness and tenderness(p<.05). As a result, we found that egg is the most suitable for freeze-drying among 10 protein sources followed by pork and chicken.

Fibrinolytic activity of fermented kimchi and ingredients used for the preparation were assayed by measuring the lysis area on plasminogen-rich fibrin plate. Fermented kimchi and picked fish sauces from changlan, prwan, and anchovy showed the activity, and the activity of pickled fish sauces were high in the order of pickled changlan, picked anchovy(pickled mulchi), and pickled prawn. However, the activity of kimchi may not be attributed to pickled fish sauce because kimchi containing fish sauce did not possess activities were determined from the samples heated for 30min at 100$\circ$C. There was no changes in activities before and after heat treatment indicating the agents may be components other than protein. Since major changes occur during kimchi fermentation were increased sour taste due to production of organic acids such as lactic, citric, oxalic, and succinic acids, the authentic organic acids present were examined for fibrinolytic activities. The results indicates that the major component posses the activity is lactic acid.

The anchovy, Engraulis japonica, were prepared with two different saltconcentration of 20%, 10% which was added 2, 5, 8 and 10 % of grind garlic(LSA 1, 2, 3, 4) and garlic juice(LSB 1, 2, 3, 4), respectively. The changes of such factor during fermentation of anchovy as general composition, salt concentration, titrable acidity and sensory evolution were analyzed. In addition, chewiness, taste, garlic flavor and off-flavor wastested it's results were belived that the more garlic amounts added the more rotten smell has been disappeared. In the view of sensory perception. sample of 90 days fermentation is supposed as the best period of fermentation. The contents of moisture and crude fat decreased while, those of ash and crude protein were changes little during fermentation of low salted anchovy. Titrable acidity decreased in all experiment groups during anchovy fermentation, its contents at 30 days fermentation were ranged between 1.4~ 1.8g/100g, but it dramatically decreased to 0.6~l.1g/100g at 90 days fermentation.

Feeding trials were conducted for a test of the optimum dietary protein levels for the fingerling Korean catfish, Parasilurus asotus. The growth response was examined in terms of weight gain, feed coefficient. protein efficiency ratio and net protein utilization for 8 weeks at $23\~27^{\circ}C$. Within a range of 25 to 55\%$ crude protein levels in the diet, the body weight increased while the dietary protein level increased. Accumulation of protein in the body reached the maximum when the crude protein level in the diet was at $45\%$. These results indicate that the optimum dietary protein level of fingerling Korean catfish was about $45\%$ when anchovy meal was used as the protein source.

As excessive intake of salt is regarded as a reason for health problems, the tendency of people to attempt to reduce intake of salt in their everyday lives is on the rise. In Korea, where many people have a higher intake of salt compared to those in other countries, there have been diverse efforts to improve on this eating habit. Protein hydrolysates are chemically, physically hydrolyzed protein that have been widely utilized as a material for not only regular food but health functional food due to have diverse biological effects such as anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, prevention of diabetes, and regulation of blood pressure. Various amino acids such as glutamic acid, arginine and arginine dipeptides, which exist in the components of protein hydrolysates, have also been recently recognized as being helpful in decreasing the use of salt in foods as they can greatly enhance salty taste when used concurrently with salt due to having both salty and palatable flavors. In the case of protein hydrolysates that decompose soy protein or fish protein such as anchovy, they could reduce consumption of salt by as much as 50% without affecting people's food preferences when applied to food as they boost salty taste by approximately 10% to 70%. Although there are only a few studies on protein hydrolysates as a salty taste enhancer or salt substitute, the results of several studies are indicative of the potential of protein hydrolysates as a salty taste enhancing ingredient.

The present study was conducted to elucidate the body modulating function of fermented seafood products. Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) acts in blood pressure regulation, converting angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and inactivating the vasodilator bradykinin to raise blood pressure. Salted and fermented anchovy which is one of the traditional fermented seafood in Korea was tested for inhibitory activity against ACE. ACE inhibitory activity of salted anchovy during the period of fermentation was increased with the elapse of fermentation days until fermentation of 60 days, but thereafter decreased inversely. When the fermented product was extracted with $50\%$ ethanol, the ACE inhibitory activity was the highest. And the ACE inhibitory activity was proportion to the content of $50\%$ ethanol soluble peptide-nitrogen of the fermented product. From the profiles of gel permeation chromatography on a Bio-Gel P-2 of $50\%$ ethanol soluble fraction obtained from salted and fermented anchovy fermented for 60 days at an ambient temperature, the higher activity fractions were C'($IC_{50}=97{\mu}g\;protein/ml$) and D'($IC_{50}=65{\mu}g\;protein/ml$). Amino acid analysis showed that the large quantify of threonine, glutamic acid, lysine for C' and serine, proline for D', respectively.

To evaluate the quality of commercial anchovy sauces, 8 varieties (2 products from the Fishery Cooperation, 2 from small companies, and 4 well-known brands) were chosen and their physicochemical and sensory properties were examined. The salinity of anchovy sauces ranged from 19.8％ to 26%, where product E was the saltiest and followed by F> H > B > E > A> C = G > D. Product D with the least salinity was turbid, rancid, and high in ammonia content, suggesting that it is difficult to control the quality of anchovy source with a low salt content. Protein content of anchovy sauces ranged from 2.51％ to 2.64%. The unit price of anchovy source A was the highest, whereas B was the lowest. Sensory evaluation scores of anchovy sauces were in the order of B > G > A > F > E > C > H > D for color, B > G = C > H > E = F > G > D for odor, E > C > F > G > H > D > B > A for saltiness, and B > A > C > H > E = F > G > D for overall acceptability. Above results suggest that product B was the best in quality as well as the cheapest among all. Based on the above results, kimchies were prepared with product A, B, C with a high sensory quality and product H with a high market occupancy, and sensory evaluation was performed. The kimchi with product C got the highest sensory score in appearance and the one with product A and H in odor. Although the kimchi with product A generally had high scores throughout the fermentation period, there were no significant differences in texture, salty taste, and overall acceptability among kimchies with different varieties of anchovy sauces.

The apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, crude protein and energy in white fishmeal, herring meal, anchovy meal, salmon meal, sardine meal, mackerel meal, squid meal, soybean meal, corn gluten meal and wheat flour were determined for olive flounder. Digestibility coefficients were determined using a reference diet and test diets that contained 70% of the reference diet mixture and 30% test ingredients. All diets contained 0.5% chromic oxide as a digestibility indicator. The fish averaging 220 g were held in 500 L tanks at a density of 20 fish per tank. Feces were collected from three replicated groups of fish using a fecal collection column attached to a fish-rearing tank. The apparent dry matter, crude protein and energy digestibility coefficient values observed were in the ranges 29-79%, 59-95% and 45-91%, respectively, for various test ingredients. The apparent dry matter, crude protein and energy digestibility of white fishmeal, herring meal, anchovy meal, salmon meal, sardine meal, mackerel meal and squid meal were significantly higher than those of soybean meal, corn gluten meal and wheat flour.
