The quality characteristics of traditional Kyungsangdo Myungtae (Alaska pollack) sikhae including optimal composition of the product were investigated. In the sensory evaluation, the Myungtae sikhae made from Gampo accepted to be best for traditional Kyungsangdo Myungtae sikhae and it is called standard sikhae. The standard sikhae was prepared as follows: dried-Myungtae 200g, cooked rice 230g, red pepper 92g, garlic 112g, ginger 100g, radish 1.6kg, salt 20g, and malt meal 65g. The Myungtae sikhae made from Gampo showed higher values in total sugar, free reducing sugar, and nitrogen compounds than the Myungtae sikhae made from another locations. The sugar of standard sikhae consisted of four kinds including glucose. And, the contents of free amino acid was increased in the order of glutamic acid, alanine, and methionine. The composition of free amino acid in Myungtae sikhae contained 17 kinds, and the contents was increased in order of glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and proline. The organic acid of standard Myungtae sikhae consisted of 7 kinds including lactic acid during fermentation. The contents of citric acid, succinic acid, and lactic acid gradually increased during fermentation, and especially, increasing of lactic acid remarkably increased than the different organic acid.

The volatile compounds of Myungtae (Alaska pollack) sikhae obtained by simultaneous steam distillation and extraction(SDE) apparatus were separated by gas chromatography(GC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry(GC/MS). The totals of 155 volatile flavor components was identified in traditional Kyungsangdo Myungtae (Alaska pollack) sikhae, respectively. ${\alpha}$-Zingihirene(11.03%) (E)-di-2-propenyl disulfide(7.95%) ${\beta}$-cironellol(6.02%), methyl allyl disulfide(3.58%), cryptone(3.39%), camphene(3.23%), pentanol(3.21%), penadecanal(2.66%) and ${\beta}$-phellandrene(2.06%) were contained as the main compounds of Myungtae shikae. The fraction obtained from sikhae were tested for electron donating ability, angiotensin converting enzyme and xanthine oxidase inhibitory activity. There was no electron donating abilities$(SC_{50})$ of hexane and water fraction. On the other hand, the abilities of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction showed $310.64\;{\mu}g/mL,\;1096.49\;{\mu}g/mL$, respectively. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction were 1.623 mg/mL, 1.303 mg/mL, respectively. Xanthine oxidase inhibitory activities$(IC_{50})$ of ethylacetate fraction and butanol fraction were 3.591 mg/mL, 2.083 mg/mL, respectively.

This study is conducted to find out the appropriate preparing method and fermenting condition through analysis of physicochemical, microbiological, sensory evaluation of Myungtae sikhae, Korean fermented fishery food which was prepared in simplified and conventional methods. During the fermentation of sikhae at 4℃, pH was decreased gradually, but acidity was increased and salinity was steady state. In this aspect, no significant difference was revealed between sikhae prepared in simplified and conventional methods. Under fermentation at 20℃ and kept at 4℃, pH was decreased to 4.6～4.9 for 15～20 days fermentation with steady state of salinity. However, acidity was changed in conversely. The content of reducing sugar with rapidly decreasing in the beginning of fermentation was continually decreased. The propagation of microorganism in th sikhae depends on the fermentation temperature rather than the preparing methods. Generally low propagation of microorganism began to increase gradually in the sikhae fermented at 4℃ comparing to that fermented at 20℃. In the sikhae fermented at 20℃ and kept at 4℃, the total count including lactic acid bacteria, was rapidly increased after 5 days' fermentation of sikhae is dominated by Lactobacillus sp. and the unique flavor and organic acid were contributed by this flora with Leuconostoc. sp. By the sensory evaluation, the best flavor was revealed in the sikhae, prepared in simplified method fermented for 30 days at 4℃. Until 20 days, sikhae fermented at 20℃ revealed higher score than fermented at 4℃. General preference for the sikhae fermented at 4℃ for 15 days prepared by simplified method and those fermented at 20℃ for 10 days. The sikhae, fermented at 4℃, showed less difference between preparing methods and preferable acceptability after being 25 days. The best acceptability of sikhae fermented at 20℃ showed after 15～25 days. In the final conclusion, the appropriate preparing method of sikhae is to use frozen Alaska pollack with simplified method and fermented at 20℃ for 5 days and then kept at 4℃.
