BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Although Korean fermented foods contain large amounts of salt, which is known to exacerbate health problems, these foods still have beneficial effects such as anti-hypertension, anti-cancer, and anti-colitis properties. We hypothesized that ganjang may have different effects on blood pressure compared to same concentrations of salt. MATERIALS/METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control (CT), NaCl (NC), and ganjang (GJ) groups and orally administered with 8% NaCl concentration for 9 weeks. The systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum chemistry, $Na^+$ and $K^+$ concentrations and renal gene expressions were measured. RESULTS: The SBP was significantly increased in the NC group compared to the GJ and CT groups. In addition, the $Na^+$ concentration in urine was higher in the GJ and NC groups than the CT group, but the urine volume was increased in the GJ group compared to the other groups. The serum renin levels were decreased in the GJ group compared to the CT group, while the serum aldosterone level was decreased in the GJ group relative to the NC group. The mRNA expression of the renin, angiotensin II type I receptor, and mineralocorticoid receptor were significantly lower in the GJ group compared to other groups. Furthermore, GJ group showed the lowest levels of genes for $Na^+$ transporter in kidney cortex such as $Na^+/K^+$ $ATPase{\alpha}1$ ($NKA{\alpha}1$), $Na^+/H^+$ exchanger 3 (NHE3), $Na^+/HCO_3{^-}$ co-exchanger (NBC), and carbonic anhydrases II (CAII). CONCLUSIONS: The decreased SBP in the GJ could be due to decreased renin and aldosterone levels in serum and increased urinary volume and excretion of $Na^+$ with its transporter gene alteration. Therefore, ganjang may have antihypertensive effect despite its high contents of salt.

The suwey on the consumption pattern of Korean traditional soy sauce and commercial soy sauce was performed. 55.8 percentage of surveyed house makes Korean traditional soy sauce domestically, But its frequency in actual use is lower than commercial soy sauce. The use of Korean traditional soy sauce and commercial soy sauce was different depending on the kinds of food. Korean traditional soy sauce is mainly used for kinds of soup, and commercial soy sauce is predominantly used for hard-boiled foods and Chapchae. Korean traditional soy sauce is known as our typical fermented food and has special flavor. But its main factors of special flavor were not well established yet. So the authors have investigated the main components of Korean traditional soy sauce for its typical taste. Five samples o$.$ere selected from'Kyung-ln'area. The sensory charac teristics of Korean traditional soy sauce itself were very different with that of cooked food added with Korean traditional soy sauce. The hard-boiled mackerel cooked with commercial soy sauce was prefered than Korean traditional soy sauce. And soups and seasoned vegetables cooked with Korean traditional soy sauce were profered. By stepwiEe regression analysis and correlation analysis, sensory overall acceptability mainly depends on specific gravity, salt content and amino nitrogen content (R'=0.94). And total nitrogen content was highly coirelated with overall acceptability (r=0.91).

This research was conducted to evaluate quality changes in traditional Doenjang and manufactured Doenjang during a storage period of 8 weeks. Low-salt Doenjang and commercial Doenjang were purchased from different manufacturers and proximate analysis as well as changes in isoflavone, polyphenol, flavonoid contents of the samples were investigated using a mass spectrophotometer. The salinity of traditional Doenjang, low salt Doenjang, and commercial Doenjang were $13.2{\pm}1.15$, $7.17{\pm}2.74$, $10.67{\pm}0.35%$, respectively and the salt concentrations of the soybean pastes did not change during storage. After 8 weeks at $35^{\circ}C$, chromatic values of all the paste samples decreased somewhat, with traditional Doenjang exhibiting fewer changes as compared to manufactured Doenjang. Amino acid nitrogen, acidity, microbial population all tended to increase with time, although some samples showed fluctuations during the test period. Moreover, the total isoflavone contents of traditional Doenjang increased with storage time while that of manufactured Doenjang tended to decrease. The isoflavone aglycone was shown to be the highest in traditional Doenjang, while isoflavone glycoside was abundant in manufactured Doenjang. Total flavonoid contents showed similar trends regardless of samples; initial contents of total flavonoid was 0.6 mg/g which increased to more than twice to 1.4 mg/g at the end of storage period. Composition profile of Doenjang extracts was analyzed using UPLC-Q-ToF.

Toha-jeot, salt-fermented Toha shirmp(caridina denticulata denticulata DeHAAN) is a traditional fermented food in Korea. Samples of Toha-jeot used in the present study were a low-salt group of 15% sodium chloride(L), a high-salt group of 23% sodium chloride(H), a 50% conventional soybean sauce group(S), a low-salt group contraining 2% wheat bran (W2%-L) , a high -salt group containing 2% wheat bran(W2%-H), a low-salt group containing 4% wheat bran(W4%-L)and a high-salt group containing 4% wheat bran (W4%-H). These seven groups were refrigerated at 4 $\pm$1$^{\circ}C$ and then taken out for analysis at theree month intervals. We investigated the functional components of Toha-jeot during fermentation . Long fermentation of Toha-jeot lowered the viscosity of chitin and tended to reduce the distribution of molecular weight. THe formation of chitin oligosaccharides on the other hand, increased significantly. After nine months of fermenttion, chitin oligosaccharides(M.W. 823~1789) constituting 24.75% of Toha chitin were produced in the sample of W2%-H. During the same period, chitin oligosaccharides(M.W.1436-1879) constituting 66.30% of Toha chitin were produced in the samples of S. However, chitin oligosaccharides were not produced in Jeotsaeu-jeot made of sea-water shrimp when fermented for six months.

The next-generation Molten Salt Reactor is known for its high safety because it uses nuclear fuel dissolved in high-temperature molten salt, unlike traditional solid atomic fuel methods. However, the high-temperature molten salt causes severe corrosion in internal structural materials, threatening the reactor's safety. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the high-temperature corrosion resistance and wear performance of materials used in reactors to ensure safety. In this study, the high-temperature corrosion resistances and wear performances of corrosion samples in a NaCl-MgCl2-KCl (20-40-40 [wt%]) molten salt are investigated to evaluate the applicability of economically viable stainless steels, 316SS and 304SS. Hastelloy C276 and a new alloy containing a small amount of Nb are used as reference samples for comparative analysis. The mass loss, mass loss rate per unit volume, and surface roughness of each sample are measured to understand the corrosion mechanisms. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy analyses are employed to analyze the corrosion mechanisms. Wear tests on the corroded samples are also conducted to assess the extent of corrosion. Based on the experimental results, we predict the lifespans of the materials and evaluate their suitability as candidate materials for molten salt reactors. The data obtained from the experiments provide a valuable database for structural materials that can enhance the stability of molten salt reactors and recommend high-temperature corrosion-resistant materials suitable for next-generation reactors.

The inorganic compositions of traditional lye, and lyes prepared from the stalks of five different agricultural products: beans, wheat, barley, buckwheat and red peppers, were analyzed. Traditional lye was composed mainly of a weak alkaline salt, potassium carbonate as the major component and neutral salts, potassium chloride and potassium sulfate as minor components. The ash and lye contents of buckwheat have significantly higher then those of the rest agricultgural products. Bean and red pepper stalks lyes were composed mainly of potassium carbonate, similar to the composition of traditional lye, but also contained potassium chloride or sulfate. In contrast, postassium chloride was the major component of wheat and barley stalk lye.

죽염은 예로부터 위궤양 등의 소화기 질환에 민간요법으로 사용되어 왔으며 대나무 통속에 천일염을 넣고 소나무 장작불로 9번 구워서 만들어진다. 본 연구에서는 죽염의 특성분석시험과 항위궤양 시험 중 위산분비 억제도 시험을 실시하였다. 특성분석시험으로 ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma) spectrometer, IC(Ion Chromatograph), XRD(X-ray Diffractrometer), 전자현미경을 이용하여 천일염과 죽염제품 A, B, C의 성분 및 구조분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 성분분석시험에서 죽염은 천일염에 비하여 칼륨, 규소, 철 및 인삼염의 농도가 증가하였으며 황산염은 감소되었음을 알 수 있었다. 죽염 중 물불용분에 포함된 화합물은 MgO가 가장 많았고, $SiO_2,\;Mg_2Si_O4\;및\;CaMgSiO_4$등도 확인되었다. 구조분석에서 죽염은 천일염에 비하여 대체로 표면이 매끄럽고 용융되어 있는 것으로 나타났다. 죽염제품 A, B, C 중 A를 사용하여 위산분비에 미치는 영향을 측정하였다. SD계 랫드에 죽염, 천일염, 시약급 NaCl, 증류수를 1일 1회 28일 동안 각 0.2, 1.0, 2.0 g/kg으로 경구 투여하여 마지막 투여 후 24시간 절식시켜 Shay 유문 결찰법을 이용하여 채취한 위액의 총량, pH, 총위산도, 펩신활성도를 측정하였다. 실험결과 각 투여 용량군에서 용매 대조군에 비하여 통계학적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 나타내지 않았으며 죽염을 포함한 여러 가지 염투여는 위산분비에 영향을 주지 않았다. 따라서 28일간 죽염투여에 의한 위궤양 치료효과는 기대하기 어려울 것으로 사료된다.

The present study was carried out to investigate the antihypertensive effect of a folklore herbal formulation (HF) (300mg/kg/day; p.o.) in deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt induced and fructose induced hypertensive rats. In DOCA model, DOCA (15 mg/kg, s.c., twice a week) was administered to unilateral nephrectomized rats for 4 weeks. In fructose model, drinking water was replaced with 10% fructose solution for 6 weeks to induce hypertension. Systolic blood pressure (BP) was measured once every week during the treatment schedule. After completion of treatment schedule, BP and vascular reactivity to various agonists like Noradrenaline, Adrenaline, Phenylephrine and Serotonin (5-hydroxytrptamine; 5-HT) were recorded in rats of both models. A cumulative concentration response curve of 5-HT was carried out in isolated rat fundus strip of the DOCA-salt induced and fructose induced hypertensive rats. The results tend to suggest that HF possesses antihypertensive activity.
