Effects of cooking and drying methods on the quality of shrimp, Metapenaeus joyneri, were investigated. The cholesterol content of fresh shrimp was 81.4mg/100g of dry basis. It was $5{\sim}28%$ less in freeze dried shrimps as compared to hot air dried shrimps. The volatile basic nitrogen and trimethylamine contents of hot air dried shrimp was higher than those of freeze dried one, but total viable count of freeze dried shrimp was lower than that of hot air dried one. The color of cooked-shrimps was much brighter than uncooked-fresh shrimp. Freeze dried shrimp was lighter than hot air dried one. Total color difference $({\Delta}E)$, however, was opposite to its lightness. The mineral component of fresh shrimp was composed of calcium predominantly, followed by potassium and sodium, which were 96% of the total mineral contents. Cooking and drying methods did not affect the mineral content.

The effects of ethanol extract of onion (EEO) on the qualify of fried fish paste were investigated. EEO was added at 0, 1, 3 and 5% level. Quality attributes including moisture content, pH, acid value, TBA value, volatile basic nitrogen, color value, viable cell count and sensory evaluation were analyzed. Moisture content was not changed by addition of EEO. Increasing the amount of EEO, pH, acid value and TBA value of fried fish paste tended to decreased but volatile basic nitrogen increased. L-value was decreased and a-value and b-value were increased by addition of EEO. Viable cell count was decreased by addition of EEO. In sensory evaluation, the higher amount of EEO obtained higher favorite score in flavor and taste, and 3% EEO had the best score in overall acceptance. These results suggest that EEO can be applied to fried fish paste for the purpose of high quality and functionality.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate quality characteristics of reduced-salt, low-fat pork sausage (PS) using pre-rigor muscle and sea tangle extract (STE) to reduce salt level of sausages during refrigerated storage. Methods: Pork ham was prepared with pre-rigor and post-rigor muscle from the local market. Sausages using post-rigor muscle were manufactured with the 1.5% of salt content, and samples with pre-rigor muscle were processed by different salt concentrations (0.8%). Accordingly, PSs were prepared in 4 treatments (REF, PS with 1.5% of salt using post-rigor muscle; CTL, PS with 0.8% of salt using pre-rigor muscle; TRT1, PS with 0.8% of salt and 5% of STE using pre-rigor muscle; TRT2, PS with 0.8% of salt and 10% of STE using pre-rigor muscle). For the evaluation of quality characteristics and shelf-life of reduced-salt PS, pH and color values, cooking loss (%), expressible moisture (%), textural properties, lipid oxidation (thiobarbituric reactive substances), protein denaturation (volatile basic nitrogen), and microbiological analysis (total plate counts and Enterobacteriaceae counts) were determined. Results: The pH and temperature of pre-rigor raw pork ham were higher than those of post-rigor pork ham. Hardness of TRT2 was higher than that of REF or CTL. TRT2 had higher gumminess and chewiness than CTL. TRT1 and TRT2 had lower volatile basic nitrogen than CTL. Total plate counts of TRT2 were lower than those of CTL. Expressible moisture values of TRT1 and TRT2 were similar to those of REF. The addition of STE into PS improved functional properties and shelf-life of PS. Conclusion: Reduced-salt PS containing pre-rigor muscle and STE had similar functional properties to those of regular-salt ones, while containing approximately 47% less salt compared to regular-salt level.

This study was performed to examine the effects of salt addition level on changes in the physicochemical properties and color values of salted shrimp during fermentation. Fresh shrimp were salted with different concentrations (8, 18, 28%) of Chunil salt and fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 160 days. In the 8% salted shrimp treatment, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), amino nitrogen (AN), and trimethylamine (TMA) contents rapidly increased during the fermentation period, while in the 18 and 28% salt groups these increases were reduced throughout the 160 days of fermentation. Thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased rapidly for 120 days of fermentation and then decreased. The thiobarbituric acid values of the 18, and 28% salted and fermented shrimp groups were lower than the that of the 8% group. In addition, Hunter's color L, a, and b values decreased as the fermentation period increased.

In this study, the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of low-salt Myungran jeotkal (Alaskan pollock roe) were evaluated after fermentation at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ with or without the addition of deep sea water, salt from deep sea water, and vegetable-origin lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus fermentum JS, LBF). When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, the addition of LBF to Myungran jeotkal resulted in a slow increase in lactic acid content, followed by an abrupt increase after five days of fermentation. However, when fermented at $4^{\circ}C$, the lactic acid content did not change significantly. Further, when Myungran jeotkal fermented at $4^{\circ}C$, the pH decreased as lactic acid production increased. The salinity of Myungran jeotkal fermented at $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$ was 7% and was not affected by fermentation period. When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$, volatile basic nitrogen and amino nitrogen contents increased with increasing duration of fermentation. Further, volatile acid content decreased, however, the content of amino nitrogen increased after 11 days of fermentation with LBF and no salt effects were observed. When fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for 13 days, preference (sensory evaluation) was the highest in all experimental groups after 9 days of fermentation, and then decreased as the fermentation period increased. The free amino acid content was highest (1,648.8 mg/100 g) in Myungran jeotkal when sun-dried salt and LBF were added, 2.3 times higher than in the control.

In order to investigate regional variation of food component in the top shells, Omphalius pfeifferi capenteri, caught from Jeju, Sogwipo, Hallim and Songsan, Jeju island, Republic of Korea, food sanitary (heavy metal and volatile basic nitrogen), nutritional (mineral, total amino acid contents, fatty acid composition), taste (extractive nitrogen) components and sensory evaluation (color, texture and taste) were measured. From the result of the contents of heavy metal and volatile basic nitrogen, the top shell might not invoke health risk in using food source, The extractive nitrogen contents of top shell were $343.0\~385.4\;mg/100\;g$. The amounts of total amino acids were $12.5\~13.2\;g/100\;g$, and the major compound among them were glutamic acid, proline and aspartic acid. The major compound among mineral were sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium. In fatty acid composition, polyenes with essential component or healthy functionality such as 20:4n-6, 20: 5n-3 and 22: 5n-3 were the major components. But, lipid content was extremely small. Judging from the results of chemical and sensory evaluation described a above, food components were not different among top shells caught from various area.

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.

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 investigated the quality of seven commercial salted and fermented sand lance Ammodytes personatus sauces by measuring their chemical compositions, bacteria concentrations, and biogenic amine contents. The sauces had a 63.97-67.32% (mean: 65.72%) moisture content, 23.16-24.03% (mean: 23.60%) salinity, 5.51-6.14 (mean: 5.81) pH, 164.76-217.98 mg/100 g (mean: 182.97 mg/100 g) volatile basic nitrogen, 0.94-1.42% (mean: 1.24%) total nitrogen, and 673.77-791.86 mg/100 g (mean: 720.76 mg/100 g) amino nitrogen content. Viable cell counts ranged from $1.2{\times}10^1$ to $2.9{\times}10^2CFU/mL$, and number of biogenic amine-forming bacteria was very low or not detected. Overall, the tested samples had average levels of histamine of 301.02 mg/kg, cadaverine of 29.78 mg/kg, tyramine of 199.21 mg/kg, putrescine of 183.00 mg/kg, and tyramine of 13.01 mg/kg. This strongly suggests that it is necessary to monitor the biogenic amine contents of commercial salted and fermented sand lance sauces carefully to ensure consumer health.
