The purpose of this study was to determine content of biogenic amines (Histamine, Cadaverine, Putrescine) in the salted mackerel, canned mackerel, mackerel pike, and freeze dried mackerel pike (Guamegi) collectively, all were purchased in the market. Salted mackerel was purchased at five markets (A, B, C, D, and F market) and stored for 10 days at $4{^{\circ}C}$. At the time of purchase, salted mackerel purchased at markets A, B and C was tested for biogenic amine, yet nothing was detected. However, salt mackerel purchased at market D was tested and the histamine concentration was 0.5 mg/100g. Mackerel from market F, exhibited content levels of 0.5 mg/100g histamine and 1.6 mg/100g cadaverine. Those make certain safety during self-life but that purchased F market gradually increased biogenic amine during storage. Prepared salted mackerel of varying levels of freshness and processing methods were analyzed for biogenic amines. Salting process was performed using functional brine salt. VBN (volatile basic nitrogen) was used to establish freshness levels of salted mackerel. Analyses of mackerel muscle determined the values of freshness to be 9.2 mg/100g (good freshness), 18.2 mg/100g (bad freshness), respectively. After 40 days of storage, the content of histamine, cadaverine, putrescine in the freshness of salted mackerel was 2.0 mg/kg, 2.4 mg/kg and 0 mg/kg, respectively. The content of histamine, cadaverine, putrescine in salted mackerel of poor freshness was 71.3 mg/kg, 22.9 mg/kg and 17.8 mg/kg, respectively. It was concluded the presence of biogenic amines during the salting process of salted mackerel significantly effected freshness of materials. The presence of biogenic amines were detected in mackerel that underwent the salting process after 1 month of storage at $4{^{\circ}C}$. The levels of biogenic amines in the brine salted mackerel were higher than those found in dry, salted mackerel; however, the freshness of fish had an insignificant effect on biogenic amines. The presence of histamine was detected in small quantities in canned mackerel and mackerel pike from three companies. Alternatively, cadaverine and putrescine were not detected. Guamegi, vacuumed packed or sealed with a rope was purchased from three markets (A, B, C seafood company). Guamegi was stored and observed for 180 days at $-20{^{\circ}C}$. Histamine was detected in small quantities in all products stored at $-20{^{\circ}C}$. Levels of histamine was dependent on the types of packaging, rope packaging yielded the highest level. However, other amines were not detected.

In odor to improve preference to small red muscle fish such as saury, sardine, herring, etc., a new seasoning and conditioning process was experimented using kimchi seasoning ingredients and organic acids. The sensory profiles during 60 days of conditioning at $5^{\circ}C$ showed better results in dry salting than in wet salting. The additions of rice bran in dry salting gave advantageous effect on the sensory evaluation of conditioned saury with kimchi seasoning. The counts of remained fine bones and hardness of backbones after 60 days of conditioning were about $50\%\;and\;23\%$ in wet salted product, and $38\sim41\%$ and $11\sim14\%$ in dry salted product respectively, as compared to raw saury, The decomposition of protein to amino acids was more severe in wet salted product than in dry salted product. Histidine, leucine, glutamic acid, alanine, and valine in order were abundant in wet salted product, but histidine, glutamic acid, arginine, leucine, and alanine in order were contained plentifully in dry salted product.

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.

The aim of this study was to offer information about appropriate processing method for dry cured-ham with controlled ripening condition. In this study, three different treatments were performed: High salt group (HS), 18 hams were salted with 70 g $kg^{-1}$ salt (w/w) Middle salt group (MS), 18 hams were salted with 50 g $kg^{-1}$ salt Low salt group (LS), 18 hams were salted with 30 g $kg^{-1}$ salt. Also three drying periods were applied (180 days, 270 days and 360 days). The weight loss in HS was higher (5.62%) on curing step and in LS was higher (12.35%) on post-salting step compared to other groups. On fermentation stage, weight loss of HS was higher than that of LS (p<0.05). Weight loss on drying was increased as the drying period passes (p<0.05). Moisture contents were significantly (p<0.05) decreased and fat contents were significantly (p<0.05) increased in all treatment groups as drying period increased. The different drying periods affected fatty acid compositions on all salting levels; saturated fatty acid contents were increased (p<0.05) with more drying, whereas unsaturated fatty acid contents were decreased (p<0.05) as drying period increased.

The processing conditions of low salt mackerel (Scomber japonicus) fillet was investigated, in which fresh mackerel was filleted, salted in brine until the expected salt concentration reached, dried with cool air (3 m/sec, $10{\sim}20^{\circ}C$), and finally packed individually in polyvinyl chloride film. Salting time and salt concentration of brine decided the final salt level penetrated into the fillet. As the final salt level was fixed to $0.8{\sim}1.0%, salting for $15{\sim}20 hours with 5% or 10% brine at $5^{\circ}C$ was enough to get that level of salt. Formation of histamine during salting was negligible. Changes in VBN, salt soluble proteins, and histamine formation of salted mackerel fillet during the storage occurred more rapidly in cases of storage at $5^{\circ}C than af $-2^{\circ}C and $-20^{\circ}C. Oxidation of lipid during the storage progressed, however it was delayed longer then 100 days in case of storage at $-20^{\circ}C. Addition of sodium erythrobate or ginger extracts could provide some extent of browning retardation. The shelf-life of the salted mackerel fillet based on panel scores of brown color and rancidity appealed to be 14 days when stored at $5^{\circ}C, and more than 28 days in case of storage at $-2^{\circ}C and about 3 months stored at $-20^{\circ}C.

This experiment investigated the characteristics of salted and fresh Chinese cabbages of different cultivars and using various cultivation methods. We measured the numbers of leaves, sizes, thicknesses, moisture contents, and firmness qualities of fresh Chinese cabbage grown in a plastic house, and outdoors. 'The bulb sizes, leaf thicknesses, and moisture contents of leaves were higher after plastic house cultivation than after growth in the field. Plastic house culture increased the growth rate of Chinese cabbage. Firmness and osmolarity showed better values after outdoor cultivation, however. The growth rates and the levels of chemical components were affected by interactions between cultivation methods and cultivars of Chinese cabbage. The salt levels of salted Chinese cabbage were 1.21.7% (w/w) after cabbages cultivated outdoors were preserved, and 0.91.2 % (w/w) after vegetables grown in a plastic house were treated. The quality properties of postharvest Chinese cabbages after salting varied with cultivation method even when the same cultivars of Chinese cabbage were used. The salt contents of salted Chinese cabbage thus varied with different cultivation methods. The results indicate that the properties of Chinese cabbage vary with the culture systems adapted.

Gulbi were made by salting Yellow corvenia (Pseudosciaena manchurica) with the in three ways: the dry salting method with bay salt, the dry salting method with purified salt or with the abdominal brine injection method with purifie salt. The half of the sample was dried by the control system of temperature and humidity: the other part was dried by the natural condition. In fresh muscle, the content of IMP, hypoxanthine, inosine and AMP were $13.40,\;9.28,\;3.01{\mu}mole/g$ and trace amount, dry basis, respectively. In fresh egg, the content of AMP, hypoxanthine, inosine and IMP were 13.98, 6.56, 1.98 and $1.93{\mu}mole/g$, dry basis, respectively. During the drying process of Yellow corvenia, the content of hypoxanthine increased remarkably, while the content of AMP, IMP and inosine decreased ana remained as trace amount. It can be suggested that the characteristic flavor of Gulbi is not attributed to the nucleotides and their related compounds but rather to free amino acids.

"Manggaedduk" produced specially in Uiryeong province, Gyeongnam, Korea is manufactured by traditional method using rice powder, sweet azuki bean paste, and leaves of Smilax china (called as Manggae-leaf). Moisture content of leaves did not show significant differences bay salt and purified salt treatment. The content was lower as the salt concentration increased. Shear force was higher in leaf salted with purified salt at room temperature than that salted with bay salt. On the other hands, the force was more higher in the leaves salted with bay salt at low temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). The shear force was higher as the concentration of both salts used for salting solution increased. As storage period was extended, shear force of salted leaf was weakened. Whiteness (L) and yellowness (b) of leaves stored at room temperature were higher than those stored at $4^{\circ}C$, although the redness (a) of Hunter value was not significantly different between storage temperatures. Salt concentration influenced lightness and yellowness, color of salted leaves stored at $4^{\circ}C$ resulted in enhanced greenness as compared to the leaves stored at room temperature. Thus, this study investigated the optimal storage conditions, salting conditions and storage temperatures of Smilax china leaves.

The quality characteristics of Acanthopanax and Cedrela shoots during their preservation were investigated according to the salting conditions to improve the use of the shoots. The results were as follows: The pH of added ionization mineral during the storage did not change. The salinity of the salt-stored Acanthopanax and Cedrela tended to insignificantly change as their storage temperature changed and increase during the addition of the ionization mineral. In terms of the color values, the b value of the added non-ionization mineral tended to increase and that of the added ionization mineral tended to gradually decrease. The texture of Acanthopanax and Cedrela shoots to which an ionization mineral was added tended to decrease gradually during their storage, and was highest when 50 ppm of the ionization mineral was added. The total chlorophyll contents tended to decrease during the salt storage, did not change significantly with the change in the added ionization mineral, and decreased at the storage temperature of $10^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it can be concluded that quality of Acanthopanax and Cedrela shoots can be maintained when they are stored in ionization mineral addition.

A system combining an electrochemical method and an adsorption system using activated carbon was assessed to facilitate the reuse of cabbage-salting brine. IrOx/Ti insoluble catalyst electrodes were used in the experiment. The results were analyzed to identify any changes in the residual chlorine concentration according to variations in the current density at a salinity of 10 %, as well as the capacity of the activated carbon to adsorb the residual chlorine and organic matter. For current densities of $500A/m^2$ and $1,000A/m^2$, the residual chlorine concentration did not increase, instead stabilizing once the current reached 0.33 Ah/L. To assess the adsorption efficiency according to the residual chlorine concentration, the unit amount of the adsorption can be estimated from $Y=0.0066+2.087{\times}10^{-4}b$. For both residual chlorine generation using an electrochemical method and chlorine removal through activated-carbon adsorption, the unit amount of adsorption was 0.33 g/g. The maximum amount of $COD_{Cr}$ organic matter adsorbed by the activated carbon was 0.021 g/g, while for $COD_{Mn}$, the value was 0.004 g/g.
