Nowadays, two types, Yumhae and Sikhae methods, remained as traditional seafood fermentation methods in Korea. In this study, flavor compounds in two types of salt-fermented fishes made by Yumhae method such as anchovy Engraulidae sp., shrimp Caridea sp., squid Decapodiformes sp., big eyed herring Clupea sp., gizzard shad Dorosoma sp. and hairtail Trichiurus sp., and made by Sikhae method such as Alaska pollack Gadus Chalcogrammus and squid. Volatile compounds detected in all salt-fermented fishes were composed mainly of aldehydes (45), ketones (39), alcohols (45), acids (12), esters (47), N-containing compounds (43), aromatic hydrocarbons (37), S-containing compounds (26), furans (10), and miscellaneous compounds (40) in salt-fermented fishes made by Yumhae method. Meanwhile, alcohols (47), terpenes (38), S-containing compounds (22), carbonyl compounds (19 aldehydes, 18 ketones), esters (13), and acids (14). Aroma-active compounds were identified by Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry/olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis in salt-fermented anchovy, shrimp and tuna (Thunnini sp.) sauce. Ethyl 2-methylbutanoate (candy/sweet) and 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (nutty/baked potato-like) were predominant odorants in salt-fermented anchovy, whereas dimethyl trisulfide (cooked cabbage/soy sauce-like), 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, and (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal (fatty/grainy) in salt-fermented shrimp, and dimethyl trisulfide, 3-methylbutanal (dark chocolate-like), and 3-methylthiopropanal (baked potato-like) in tuna sauce.

The historical background of fish fermentation in Asia and other regions of the world is reviewed. The classification of fermented fish products in different regions is attempted with respect to the technology involved. The fermented fish products are largely divided into three groups; (1) high-salt, (2) low-salt, and (3) non-salt fermented. High-salt fermented products contain over 20％ of salt and are represented by fish sauce, cured fish and fish paste. Low-salt fermented products contain 6-18％ salt and are subdivided into lactic fermented products with added carbohydrate and acid pickling associated with low temperature. Non-salt fermented products are represented by the solid state bonito fermentation and some alkaline fermentation of flat fishes. The local names of the products in different regions are compared and classified accordingly. The microbial and biochemical changes during fish fermentation are considered in relation to the quality of the products, and their wholesomeness is reviewed.

This study was performed to determine the amount of aluminum, which is one of the factors of Alzheimer's disease, In some fishes caught from some areas of the west coast in Korea. The 46 aquatic products were composed of fishes, molluscs, and salt-fermented products (jeot-gal). The 24 fishes were Hickory shad, Gobies, Pomfref, Atkafish, Flounder, Jambeng-ie Monk fish, Yellow hair tail, Mackerel, Bartailed flathead, Alaska pollack, Brown croaker, Eel, Fine-spotted flounder, Black spotted grouper, Sea-eel, Pacific saury, Areliscus honaleus, Small boil-dried anchovy, Croaker, Hair tail, Sea bream genuine, Motleystrip rainbowfish, and Bastard halibut. The 15 Molluscs were Whip-arm octopus, Sea arrow, Common squid, Han chi, Cuttle fish, Turban shell, Pond snail, Orient calm, Surf calm, Butter calm, Crib shell, Oyster, Egg cockle, Little neck calm, and Arkshell. The 7 salt-fermented products were salt-fermented Shrimp, Little neck, Oyster, Shad, Gonjeng-ie, Hqangsegi, and Squid. All of them were ashed with 5$m\ell$ HNO$_3$ and then with 10$m\ell$ ternary solution (HNO$_3$ : H$_2$SO$_4$ : HClO$_4$= 10 : 1 : 4). After ashing of the samples, the aluminum amount were measured by ICP. The aluminum amount of molluscs was significantly higher than that of fishes and salt-fermented products(p＜0.01). The aluminum amount of Orient calm and Healak in molluscs were 827.70, 812.55ppm, respectively, which were the most amounts compared nth that of the other samples. But the aluminum amounts of Bartailed flathead and Sea bream, genuine In fishes were 0.98, 0.97ppm, respectively, which were the least amounts compared with that of other samples. This study was limited within 46 aquatic samples, therefore I hope there will be wider efforts to determine about auminum amount in broade range of aquatic foods for the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the difference between generations in awareness and acceptance of the commercial Korean traditional foods. the survey was carried out through questionnaire and the subjects were 316 middle school students and 299 parents of the other students in the same schools. Five middle schools in Chongju, Chungbuk were included. The results were as follow: 1) Students showed higher awareness than adults for cooked rices and much lower for gruels except pumpkin gruel. Difference between generations was existed in the acceptance for Yuk-gae-jang rice, plain rice, abalone porridge, pollack gruel and pinenut gruel. 2) Among soups, students were more aware of seaweed soup and rib-broth than adults and adults were more aware of bone broth than students. Students showed higher acceptance than adults for seaweed soup, Yuk-gae-jang, Gom-tang and rib broth, whereas adults showed higher acceptance than students for pollack soup. 3) Most of one bowl meals were highly known by both students and adults without any specific generation differences. Students liked the best sauteed rice cake and they like sauteed rice cake and Japchae(sauteed noodle with mixed vegetables) much more than adults. 4) There was no generation difference in the awareness of grilled and pan fried foods Grilled and pan fried foods were favored more by students than adults except grilled laver which was highly favored by both groups. 5) Generation difference was appeared in the awareness of Kimchi and salt fermented fishes, especially salt fermented fishes were much more known by adults than students. And also the acceptance of adults were higher than that of students for the most Kimchi and salt fermented fishes.

Fermented fish (jeotkal) has been used as a method of preserving perishable fish and marine products. Recently, however, high salted jeotkal (20% and more) has avoided from consumer by reasons of organoleptic quality (high salinity), health value (degenerative chronic disease), and hygienic safety. Among these jeotkals, meanwhile, sikhae (lactic acid fermented fishes) has been traditionally favored in the eastern coastal area of Korea, which contain below 10% of salt content with acidic range (pH4∼5).

The factors of obesity related with food habits were assessed to provide information for nutrition education database. The subjects in this study were 234 primary school children in Busan. Children were classified into normal and obese groups(mildly obese, moderately obese and severely obese) by obesity index. In self-recognition of body image, only 28.6% of MI group considered themselves as 'overweight or obese'. 87.2% of the subjects controlled their weight method with exercise. With regard to meal speed, 64.5% of the subjects ate $fast({\leq}15\;min.)$. The study also found that 79.8% of the subjects ate breakfast, 56.4% of the subjects them were moderate by obese, 40.8% of the subjects ate snacks after dinner. Eating speed, meal volume and snacks money per day were significantly different in obesity. Preference for eating out was Korean Chinese, Western and Japanese food, in order. Favorite food for snack, such as ddukbokki, fruits, milk. fried foods and candy and caramel were significantly different in obesity(p<0.05). However hamberger, pizza and chocolate were not significantly different in obesity. The most preference snack for all the subjects were fruits and ice cream. In food preference, potato, dduk, meats, fishes, cheese, milk, ice cream were significantly different in obesity. The distasteful food for subjects were patbab, vegetables, shellfishes and salt-fermented foods. From above results, obesity of children was related to meal speed, meal volume and snacks motley per day. Therefore, these results suggest that continuous and practical nutrition education to change food habits art necessary to avoid child obesity.

The purpose of this study was to monitor and compare the contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria, coliform groups and Escherichia coli from fruit-vegetable salad (FS), aquatic hard-boiled food (AF) and salt-fermented fishery product with spices (SP). The samples of ready-to-eat food were 25 FS, 11 AF and 7 SP. The contamination levels of total aerobic bacteria in FS, AF and SP were $4.56\sim7.45\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (FS), $2.43\sim7.03\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (AF), respectively. The contamination levels of coliform groups were $4.51\sim6.71\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (SP). $4.00\sim6.66\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (FS), $1.70\sim5.20\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (AF), respectively. The contamination levels of E. coli were $2.50\sim4.42\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (SP), $0\sim3.58\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (FS), $1.11\sim4.68\;log_{10}$ CFU/g (AF), respectively. The difference of completed packaging salad and instant packaging salad are not different about contamination levels. In conclusion, the results of this study indicated that the hygienic levesl of salads, hard-boiled foods and salted fishes were very poor. So our government need to improve the control plan for food safety from manufacturing process to market.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferred methods for making summer kimchi as a basic research of making commercial kimchi. Questionnaire were collected from 590 housewives nationwide in Korea, and the data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows: (1) The average salting time of Chinese cabbage was 3~5 hrs when the combined method of dry and brine salting was used, regardless of the region. (2) Seven jeotkals (salt-fermented fishes) including anchovy, anchovy juice, shrimp, northern sand lance juice, hair-tail viscera, flatfish and yellow corvenia were mainly used in kimchi. Among them, anchovy and anchovy juice jeotkals were preferred to all others in Southern area (Busan, Gwangju, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Jeonnam), while shrimp jeotkal in Seoul, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Chungnam and Jeju, and northern sand lance juice jeotkal in Daegu, Daejeon and Gyeonggi, respectively. In most regions, however, blending type of 2 jeotkals was used in kimchi. (3) Eleven ingredients such as red pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, radish, leek, onion, carrot, sugar, sesame and MSG were used as basic components for making kimchi. In particular, MSG was used as a basic ingredient regardless of region and age. However, a standard taste for making kimchi was depended on housewife in this study.
