This study was conducted to investigate the proteolytic properties of saewoojeot (salted and fermented shrimp) on various meat proteins. NaCl content was decreased less than 2% by electrodialysis. As electrodialysis time was passed, the protease activity was increased. The proteolytic activity of crude protease on muscle proteins of beef, pork, chicken was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Crude enzyme easily degradated both heat-denatured and native meat proteins. Protein degradation was rapidly occurred within 5 min and most all myofibrilar protein was disappeared. Heat-denatured chicken meat (100%) was most easily degraded than heat-denatured pork meat (47%) and beef meat (31%).

Fermentation temperature (10 and $20^{\circ}C$) and salt concentration (10, 20, and 30%) on volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), histamine, amino nitrogen, total viable cell counts, coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli counts as the quality index in salted shrimp were investigated during fermentation. Results show that the effect of salt concentration on changes in quality index was not high compared with fermentation temperature (10 and $20^{\circ}C$) in salted shrimp treated with 10% and 20% salt concentration. However, effect of salt concentration and fermentation temperature on the quality index was not significant with 30% salt concentration. And all most whole changes of quality index were rapidly increased or decreased for 30 days of fermentation.

The salted small shrimps(Acetes japonicus) were fermented for 3 months at room temperature. During the period of fermentation, the changes of shrimp protein properties were determined. The extractability of soluble protein was slightly decreased in 1 month fermentation, but thereafter increased. The contents of 10% TCA soluble fraction were gradually increased during 3 month fermentation, and the rate of 10% TCA soluble fraction/total soluble protein was also greatly increased during the period of fermentation. Sephadex G-100 gel filtration pattern was changed after 1 month fermentation, showing the disappearance of low molecular weight protein peaks, the decomposition and the delay of elution time of main shrimp protein peaks. Polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis patterns showed the degradation of main protein bands into lots of smaller bands after 1 month fermentation. The contents of total free amino acids were slightly decreased in 1 month fermentation and then gradually increased during the Period of fermentation. The rate of free amino acids/soluble protein was steadily increased during the period of fermentation, but the rate of free amino acids/10% TCA soluble fraction was decreased continually during the period of fermentation. The contents of most free amino acids were increased during the period of fermentation, but those of histidine and arginine were greatly decreased in 1 month fermentation. Ammonia was increased after 1 month fermentation. The pH value of salted shrimp was slowly changed during 3 months of fermentation, showing increase from 7.8 to 8.2.

This study was performed to examine the effects of salt addition level on the changes in physicochemical properties of the salted and fermented shrimp during fermentation. Amino nitrogen content increased with the fermentation time, and was higher at low salt addition level. Volatile basic nitrogen content in the fermented shrimp with 3 and 8% salt increased rapidly at initial fermentation period, but decreased at 6 week fermentation and remained constant afterward, while that with 18 and 30% salt maintained its initial level through 22 week fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value decreased rapidly in the early stage of the fermentation, but slightly increased after 4-6 week fermentation. The TBA value was higher at lower salt level after 6 week fermentation. Peroxide value of the fermented shrimp with salt content higher than 8% increased rapidly at 2-4 week fermentation and decreased sharply at 6 week, while that with 3% salt showed the maximum value at 10 week fermentation.

This study was conducted to enhance the storage stability of fermented shrimp with different salt contents using a high hydrostatic pressure. The effects of the magnitude of pressure and treatment time on the microorganisms of the fermented shrimp were investigated. The highest microbial counts with respect to the salt levels were observed at 18% salt, showing $3.4{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$ for general bacteria, $6.4{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$ for halophilic bacteria, $4.2{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$ for yeast and $3.0{\times}10^4\;CFU/g$ for halophilic yeast. The degree of sterilization increased with the magnitude of pressure and treatment time, and the sterilization could be analyzed by the first order reaction kinetics. The sterilization rate constants $(k_p)$ of the halophilic bacteria was lower than that of general bacteria. The $log(k_p)$ increased linearly with pressure and the slope of the regression line of the halophilic bacteria was greater than that of general bacteria, indicating that the sterilization of the halophilic bacteria was more dependent on the pressure. High hydrostatic pressure treatment was an effective non-thermal sterilization method for the salted and fermented shrimp, and the optimum treatment condition was for 10 min at 6,500 atm.

To develop a functional Kimchi utilizing onion, 5 different Kimchi with onion used as a major ingredient were formulated. The changes in pH. titratable acidity, reducing sugar. total bacterial count, and the number of lactic acid bacteria in the process of fermentation were studied A. onion Kimchi Control. B : onion Kimchi added with oyster, C : onion Kimchi added with salted shrimp, D : onion Kimchi added with oyster, cucumber, and a bit of radish, E : onion Kimchi added with salted shrimp, cucumber, and a bit of radish. pH of onion Kimchi decreased during storage, but titratable acidity increased. The pH values of onion Kimchi were not significantly different among groups, the changes in pH during fermentation were the lowest in A, and changes in B and D were lower than those of C and E. Salt concentration tended to decrease during the fermentation process, and the changes in salt concentration were lower in D and E than in B and C. Reducing sugar content maximized at 4 days of fermentation and decreased after 12 days. The number of lactic acid bacteria increased during first 4 days of fermentation and decreased after 12 days. Total lactic acid bacterial count were the most lowest in A.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Latilactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei FBL10 isolated from Saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp). The draft genome consists of 2,285,672 bp with a G+C content of 41.1% and contains 2,282 coding genes. Genome analysis revealed that clusters associated with bacteriocin production were identified, in addition to several probiotic properties, such as stress resistance factors and aggregation. On the other hand, antibiotic resistance genes and virulence factors were not present. Pangenome analysis for 32 genomes showed 213 unique genes for FBL10 strain. These results demonstrate the beneficial properties of strain FBL10 as a putative probiotic.

The sucrose, MSG, fresh oyster and salted-fermented anchovy and shirmp were added into Kimchi in the concentration range of $1{\sim}3%$ and studied for their effects on the changes in chemicl properties and fermentation rate. The control Kimchi was prepared with addition of 2% red pepper, garlic, Welsh onion and 1% ginger. It was found that the fermentation rate was increased as the concentration of all of ingradients tested increased. Among them M.S.G affected most significantly. However, ascorbic acid formed was reduced for those Kimchi added with salted-fermented anchovy and shrimp while the changes in pH and titrable acidity was affected a little.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of salted and fermented shrimp ethanol extract (SFS) on serum lipid metabolism and hepatocytes in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered 60% fat feed to induce hypercholesterolemia and were divided into five groups. Experimental groups were classified according to administered diet: normal diet group (NC), high cholesterol diet group (HC), high cholesterol and low dose shrimp extract (20 mg/kg) group (HC-SFSL), high cholesterol and high dose shrimp extract (200 mg/kg) group (HC-SFSH), and high cholesterol and lovastatin (20 mg/kg) group (HC-Lov). The experimental diets were fed ad libitum for 14 days. Compared with the control group, the serum cholesterol and triglycerides were 40.4 and 64.7% lower in the group fed HC-SFSH respectively. Low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol concentration in serum decreased in the HC-SFSH group compared with the HC group. In a histological assay, hepatocytes in the HC group showed that the vacuolated cells by fat appear clear due to the large amount of intracytoplasmic fat, whereas the liver hepatocytes in the group fed SFS effectively decreased fatty liver and intracytoplasmic fats. These results suggest that the extract of salted and fermented shrimp has an antiatherosclerotic effect and may lessen the effects of cardiovascular disease by reducing the cholesterol level in serum.

Gamma irradiation was applied to develop fermented shrimp product with lower salt concentration, high sensory quality and storage stability. Shrimp was prepared with 15 and 20% of salt and fermented at $15^{\circ}C$. The sample was irradiated for 15% added salt at the 4th week and for 20% at the 6th week during fermentation with 0, 5 and 10 kGy absorbed doses. The irradiation was applied at optimum stage of fermentation determined when the content of amino nitrogen(AN) arrived approximately 400 mg%. Chemical properties such as amino nitrogen(AN), volatile base nitrogen(VBN), trimethylamine(TMA) and neutral protease activity were examined during whole fermentation. The AN, VBN, TMA and protease activity were not affected immediately after gamma irradiation. The more NaCl concentrations and irradiation dose, the less content of chemical compounds and protease activity was found. From the results of chemical properties, it was concluded that fermented shrimp with 15% of salt and irradiated at 10 kGy before optimum fermentation, or 20% and 5 kGy or above were maintained the sound quality during storage compared with the control.
