This study evaluated the quality characteristics of fermented abalone-kimchi or sea tangle-kimchi during 28 days of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Abalone and sea tangle were added as extracts compared to a control. We analyzed lactic acid bacteria, pH, acidity, salinity, reducing sugars, free sugars, organic acids, free amino acids, and sensory characteristics. The lactic acid bacteria levels were 4.4~5.3 log CFU/g on day 0, 6.8~7.1 log CFU/g after 7 days, and continued to rise during the fermentation period. The salinity increased slightly over time. As fermentation progressed, pH and reducing sugars, free sugars, and organic acid contents decreased. Free sugars, in particular, dramatically decreased about 70% compared to the initial day. The total free amino acid content was higher in abalone-kimchi. In terms of free amino acid contents, taurine was high in abalone-kimchi, while glutamic acid and aspartic acid content was high in sea tangle-kimchi. The sensory evaluation results show that abalone-kimchi and sea tangle-kimchi had higher scores for their savory taste and overall acceptance compared to the control.

The enzymatic hydrolysate of skipjack tuna cooking drip with good functionality was prepared by incubation with Alcalase for 30 min. For the preparation of functional seasoning sauce with enzymatic hydrolysate (SSE), the additives, such as concentrated enzymatic hydrolysate (100 mL), yeast extract powder (0.7 g), lactose (0.4 mL), liquid smoke (0.3 g) and sea tangle powder (1.4 g), were added to the enzymatic hydrolysate and boiled before filtration. The proximate composition of SSE was 11.8% for crude protein, 5.77 for pH and 11.9% for salinity. The SSE was higher in the crude protein, while lower in the salinity than commercial seasoning sauce. ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) and antioxidative activity (PF) of SSE were 6.2 mg/mL and 1.14, respectively, which were superior to those (9.9 mg/mL in IC50 and 0.91 in PF) of commercial seasoning sauce. The free amino acid content (1,905.2 mg/100 mL) and taste value (58.65) of SSE were higher than in those (712.7 mg/100 mL and 34.30, respectively) of commercial sauce. Total amino acid content of SSE (10,965 mg/100 mL) was higher than that (4,818 mg/100 mL) of commercial sauce. The major amino acids of SSE were glutamic acid (12.2%), proline (11.0%), histidine (10.7%) and glycine (9.9%). The results suggested that SSE could be commercially sold.

The study was carried out to develop the powdered smoked-dried anchovy products as a natural flavoring substance. The processing conditions, chemical and taste compounds of products were as follows: The raw anchovy were washed, and then boiled 5 minutes in $5{\sim}6%$ NaCl and 1.0% sodium erythorbate solution. Boiled anchovy were smoked in smoking house at $40^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours as the first stage, and then increased temperature up to $80^{\circ}C$ as the second stage, and finally smoked 8 hrs at $80^{\circ}C$ to maintain the moisture content between 9 and 10 percent. The smoked-dried anchovy were pulverized and screened to be 50 mesh of particle size, and finally packed in PET/Al/CPP film bag. The moisture, crude lipid content and salinity of powdered smoke-dried anchovy were 9.4%, 9.6% and 6.9%, respectively. Fatty acid composition of product was mainly consisted of polyenes (43.4%) such as 22 : 6 and 20 : 5, followed by saturates (36.9%), monoenes (19.7%). The principal taste compounds of product were IMP, 466.5 mg/100g; free amino acids such as His, Tau, Pro, Lys, Ala and Glu, 1179.2 mg/100g; non-volatile organic acids such as lactic acid and succinic acid, 617.9 mg/100g; total creatinine, 595.9 mg/100g; small amount of betaine and TMAO. To make a instant soup, it was desirable for taste of products that powdered smoked-dried anchovy were mixed with 20% salt, 4.0% sugar, 3.0% MSG, 1.0% onion powder, 1.0% garlic powder and 1.0% black pepper.

In this study, quality improvement of beef was attempted according to the low temperature treatment and aging period of grade 1 compared to grade 1⁺⁺ beef. The fat content and shear force of beef grade 1⁺⁺ were 13.03% and 114.26N, but beef grade 1 was 3.21% and 149.67N. Meanwhile, after low-temperature treatment of grade 1 beef at -26℃ for 12 hours and low-temperature aging at 0 ℃ for 14 days, the shear force was greatly reduced to 87.85N, improving overall preference, softness, dripping gravy, flavor, and chewing texture. The essential free amino acid content was as low as 22.17mg/100g in grade 1⁺⁺ beef, but the contents were high at 41.31~45.11mg/100g in three samples of grade 1, and there was no change in content according to cold treatment conditions. As a specific component of beef, Taurine was 30.94~34.41mg/100g, and the difference in content was small according to beef grade, but Anserine and Creatine were low at 19.68mg/100g and 70.01mg/100g in beef grade 1⁺⁺ and high at 26.38~31.23mg/100g and 154.09~167.26mg/10g in beef grade 1. The content ratio of oleic acid (c18:1)/stearic acid (c18:0) as an monounsaturated fatty acid/saturated fatty acid ratio was low at 5.29 for grade 1⁺⁺ beef, but high at 6.13~6.78 for grade 1 beef. In addition, there was no trend in the content ratio of these fatty acids according to the low-temperature treatment conditions and aging period in beef grade 1. As a result of this study, it was possible to improve the quality of beef grade 1 by low-temperature treatment at -26 ℃ for 12 hours and then aging at 0 ℃ for 14 days.

To investigate the flavor components of sun-dried ray, Raja porasc, the contents of such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds, total creatinine, betaine, TMAO, fatty adds, and volatile compounds were analysed. The content of total free amino acids was 1773.3mg% on dry basis and the abundant amino acids were taurine, lysine, leucine, alanine, glycine, glutamic acid, proline, and valine in order and these amino acids accounted for 80% of total free amino acids in sun-dried ray. In the nucleotides and their related compounds, hypoxanthine was the most abundant. Ammonia-N was the most abundant, resulting 26.4% of extractive nitrogen which was 1965.6mg% and next free amino acid-N, total creatinine-N, and nucleotide-N in order. In the fatty acid composition of total lipid and neutral lipid, polyenoic acid was abundant holding 42.0%, 45.3% respectively. In phospholipid, the ratio of polyenoic acid and saturated fatty acid were similar to 39% respectively. The predominant fatty acids in total lipid, neutral lipid, and phospholipid were $C_{16:0},\;C_{22:6},\;C_{18:1},\;C_{18:0},\;and\;C_{20:4}$. In the volatile compounds, isocaproic acid, caproic acid, isobutyric acid, and butyric acid were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile fatty acids detected and 2-butanone, pentanal, and 2-methylpropanal were the major portion of the 8 kinds of volatile carbonyl compounds detected and also trimethylamine was the major portion of 2 kinds of volatile amines detected. It was presumed from the results that the reciprocal action of taste compounds such as free amino acids, nucleotides and their related compounds total creatinine, betaine, and TMAO and volatile compounds such as volatile carbonyl compounds, volatile fatty acids, volatile amines, and ammonia played an important role for the characteristics of flavor of sun-dried ray.

The content levels of taurine, DHA, and EPA of dried cuttlefish powder were $11.67{\pm}6.62\;g/kg$, $3001.11{\pm}11.42\;mg/100\;g$ and $688.13{\pm}10.51\;mg/100\;g$, respectively, which were 10~20% higher than those of the salt processed cuttlefish. After feeding dried and salt processed cuttlefish for 4 weeks, total cholesterol concentrations in mice blood were 81.3 mg/dL and 88.1 mg/dL, respectively, which was higher than 78.9 mg/dL of the control. It was also found that dried cuttlefish increased HDL-cholesterol concentrations to 71.6 mg/dL, compared to 63.1 mg/dL of salt processed cuttlefish. The triglyceride contents of dried sample was higher than that of processed sample. Blood glucose concentrations in mice fed dried or salt processed cuttlefish were 77.7 mg/dL and 90.3 mg/dL, respectively. IgG levels increased to 48.1 ng/mL by feeding the processed cuttlefish, compared to 40.3 ng/mL of the dried cuttlefish. Therefore, by analysis of serum lipid, it can be suggested that processed cuttlefish can improve immune activities through adding taurine and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
