This study was carried out to examine the salting and desalting of small casings from hog and to determine the shelf-life during cold storage. The concentration of salt in the casings equilibrated with that of the added salt after 1 day for 10%, after 2 days for 20% after 7 days for 40% salting level. During desalting at 15 and $30^{\circ}C$, residual salt concentrations in the casings decreased to less than 1% after 1 hour for 10% salt, after 12 hours for 20% salt and after 24 hours for 40% salt. The total colony count of the freshly prepared casing was about log10 4.2. The initial microflora of the prepared casings was dominated by lactic acid bacteria. The higher the salting level, the greater the microbial growth was suppressed during 6 months of storage at refrigerator temperature ($4^{\circ}C$). A salt content of 20% is satisfactory if the casings are being stored for less than 1 month before being used.

The effects of salting methods on textural properties of Kakdugi were evaluated during fermentation at 1$0^{\circ}C$ for up to 52 days. Kakdugi samples were prepared by 4 different salting methods at final salt concentration of 1.5%, which is appropriate for organoleptic quality. The salting methods for radish cubes(2 cm size) of Kakdugi were as follows; 1) Treatment S-1: spraying dry salt uniformly on to the radish cubes at 1.5%(w/w) and holding for 1 hr, 2) Treatment S-5: spraying dry salt uniformly on to the radish cubes at 1.2%(w/w) and holding for 5 hr, 3) Treatment B-1: brining radish cubes in a 8.5%(w/v) salt solution for 1 hr, 4) Treatment B-5: brining radish cubes in a 4.0%(w/v) salt solution for 5 hr. The contents of water soluble pectin, total soluble solid and PG activity were increased as the fermentation periods increased. A majority of total dietary fiber(TDF) consisted of soluble dietary fiber(SDF), and the amount of insoluble dietary fiber(IDF) was relatively small in Kakdugi during fermentation. Furthermore, an increase in SDF and a consequent decrease in IDF contents were observed with the fermentation time increased.

This study was conducted to find the optimum pretreatment method to improve the quality of Pleurotus eryngii pickled with the fermented soybean paste. Blanching(70 , 10min), salting(5%, 20 , 72hr) and drying(50 , 3hr) were used as pretreatment methods. The moisture loss of the mushrooms during pickling was accelerated more by salting and drying. Salinity increase was retarded by salting. Surface and internal browning of the mushrooms were suppressed by blanching. Hardness tended to increase sharply until 20 days of pickling and then slowly decreased. In the sensory evaluation, mushrooms pickled for 40 days were scored as the highest. Blanching was a superior treatment compared to the others in term of color, taste, flavor, texture and overall acceptability.

To investigate pre-salting conditions in the preparation of salted anchovy from large anchovy, anchovy were salted with various salt concentration and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. Moisture content decreased with the increase of salt and the salinity increased in proportion to salt concentration at $20^{\circ}C$. Total nitrogen decreased slightly as the increase of salt concentration during pre-salting at $20^{\circ}C$. The nitrogenous components such as amino nitrogen and extractable nitrogen were invariable or decreased until 7 days in salt concentration over $25\%$ during pre-salting at $5^{\circ}C$. These results imply that soluble nitrogen with moisture run out of anchovy body in high salt concentration and the hydrolysis was inhibited by salt over $25\%$ at $5^{\circ}C$. VBN content were constant in salt concentration over $25\%$ until 7 days, regardless of curing temperature. The POV were under the influence of salt concentration and temperatures. We concluded that the optimal condition for preparation of salted anchovy were pre-salting with salt over $25\%$ at $5^{\circ}C$ for 7 days.

The Effect of $Ca^{++}$, $K^+$ and $Mg^{++}$ on salting of radish was investigated. Up to 0.2 M of $Ca^{++}$ and/or $K^+$, sodium chloride content of radish increased respectively, comparing with no addition of these ions. The salting effect of radish incereased in proportion to the concentration ($0{\sim}0.01\;M$) of $Ca^{++}$ and/or $K^+$ in the salting solution up to 0.2 M, while there was no influence of $Mg^{++}$. When $Mg^{++}$ and $Ca^{++}/Mg^{++}$ and $K^+$ were added to brine solution, $Ca^{++}$ or $K^+$ influenced the salting effect of radish and $Mg^{++}$ did not.

Effects of blanching and salting for the pretreatment during frozen storage condition were investigated and optimized the salting condition on the activities of peroxidase and lipoxygenase, the stability of vitamin C and color, moisture content and hardness in immatured soybean. Before frozen storage, pretreatment processing is necessary to extend the shelf-life of vegetables. Salting condition of 2% for 180min treatment led to maximum inactivation of both lipoxygenase and peroxidase while blanching can more inactivate for lipoxygenase. Salting at 2% for 180min resulted in the highest amount of vitamin C remaining in the immatured soybeans after 6 months storage. The color of the immatured soybeans were severely changed after 6 months storage, while the color of salted soybeans at 3% and 180min treatment was similar to fresh products. Moisture content and hardness were reduced with addition of salt.

Korean Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. pekinensis) is one of the major cruciferous vegetables. Cruciferous vegetables contain a series of relatively unique secondary metabolites of amino acids called glucosinolates. Although glucosinolates do not appear to be bioactive, they are hydrolyzed by plant myrosinase when the cells in plants are damaged, and release biologically active compounds such as isothiocyanates, nitriles, and thiocyanates. The objective of this study was to determine the myrosinase activity and total glucosinolate levels of Korean Chinese cabbages by different salting times (0, 12, 18, and 24 h) and salt concentrations (6, 10, 14%). The total water content, salt content, and pH of brined cabbages decreased with increasing salting time. The myrosinase activity as determined by a glucose kit, decreased with increasing salting time and salt content. The total glucosinolates were purified using an anion exchange column and measured by UV-visible spectrophotometer. The fresh Korean Chinese cabbages contained $25.38{\pm}1.45\;{\mu}mol/g$ dry weight of glucosinolates. However, the total glucosinolates of brined cabbages decreased with increasing salting time and salt concentration. After 24 h of salting time, the total glucosinolates of brined cabbages rapidly decreased by $16.12{\pm}11.09$, $11.25{\pm}10.91$, $9.29{\pm}10.73\;{\mu}mol/g$ in 6%, 10%, and 14% salt solution, respectively. Overall, the total glucosinolate levels of Korean Chinese cabbages were found to vary inversely with salting time and salt concentration.

This study was designed to investigate the Quality of salted eggplants with mixed rice bran and salt during 7 days at $4^{\circ}\C$ for the quality improvement and arrangement of eggplants exported to Japan. It was carried out to analyze the changes of the color, organic acids, amino acids and minerals during salting. L and b values of eggplants were decreased, and a value of eggplants was increased during salting. Organic acids such as acetic, citric, lactic, malic, and succinic acids were analyzed from eggplants. The content of acetic and malic acid were decreased during salting, but citric and succinic acid contents were increased The major amino acids were alanine, glycine, valine and leucine. Total amino acid content of Chukyang was decreased but that of Shikibu was not changed during salting. The major free amino acid was $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid and contents of $\alpha$-aminoadipic acid and $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid were increased during salting. Sodium and potassium were major minerals of eggplants. Sodium, potassium and magnesium were increased during salting.

The aim of this study was to develop a new salting condition that included added maltodextrin (MD) and grape seed extract (GSE) to ensure the microbiological safety and quality of salted shredded Korean cabbage. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to analyze the effects of four independent variables (NaCl concentration, salting duration, MD concentration, and GSE concentration). The following response variables were evaluated: reduction in total aerobic bacteria, yeast, and mold counts; weight loss and salt content; and taste, texture, and overall acceptability of salted shredded Korean cabbage. The optimal salting conditions include a combination of 10.09~10.32% NaCl, 9.45~10.00% MD, and 234~300 ppm GSE in a ternary salting solution and a salting duration of 5.68~5.94 hr. This optimal combination reduced total aerobic bacterial and yeast/molds counts by 3.33 and 1.45 log CFU/g, respectively, while maintaining high sensory scores for taste, texture, and overall acceptability of the salted shredded Korean cabbage. In addition, the optimal conditions yielded more acceptable weight loss and salt content characteristics. The results suggest that use of the optimized combination of salting conditions can improve the microbiological safety and quality of salted shredded Korean cabbage used for commercial kimchi production.

Salted and dried yellow corvenia(Pseudosciaena manchurica), so called 'Gul-bi', is one of nation-widely consuming fish foo::ls. It is suitable for a long term preservation and its pro-duce is also a great deal on sea food processing in this country. The texture of 'Gul-bi', however, have often appeared to be a delicate factor for the quality of the product. The loss or dislocation of fat in the tissue of the fish resulted by salting and drying is believed to profoundly relate to the texture of product. In this paper, the tissue of yellow corvenia and movement of fat were microscopically observed before salting, immediately after salting, and after drying and the results observed in the tissues dry salted, brine salted, and brine salted with the addition of BHA were compared. The cross section of yellow corvenia muscle showed that a distinctive border by connective tissue between white and red muscle could not be seen in general, and red muscle was surrounded by hypodermic fatty tissues. In the tissue of fresh yellow corvenia, the fat was mainly distributed in hypodermic fat layer which located under the corium while rarely distributed in white muscle. It was found that some parts of the fat in the tissue were permeated into intermuscular tissue passing through the connective tissues during salting. The result Was the same in both dry-salting and brine-salting tissue. However, the fat translocated into intermuscular tissues disappeared during drying process in the salted without BHA tissues whereas in BHA added tissue. This result suggested that BHA may take a role of multiple effect in translocation of fat in tissues as well as in retarding oxidation. In an advanced stage of salted and dehydration, the muscle fibers were ajoined together and then limits between muscle fibers already became indistinguishable. And the migrated fat into intermuscular tissue aggregated around the connective tissue and are apt to gradually to flow out from the muscular system through these tissues.
