This study was conducted to evaluate the growth of lactic acid bacteria and quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with four types of salt (Solar salt, Flower salt, Hanju salt, and Roasted salt) at two different concentrations (10, 15%) during storage. The quality characteristics of kimchi were examined by investigating acid production, growth of lactic acid bacteria, sensory properties, salinity, texture, and color characteristics. Baechu kimchi was fermented for 18 days at $10^{\circ}C$. The pH and total acidity did not change during storage according to type and concentration of salt. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was not affected by type of salt, whereas it was inhibited at 15% salt concentration after 9 days of fermentation. In the quantitative descriptive analysis of sensory properties, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in term of overall acceptability (p<0.05). Meanwhile, there was no significant difference by type of salt. For texture characteristics, hardness of kimchi prepared with 10% salt was significantly higher than that with 20% salt. For color characteristics, L value (brightness) and b values (yellowness) of kimchi prepared with 10% salt increased during fermentation, whereas a value (redness) did not change by type and concentration of salt. The results of this study show that there were no considerable differences in quality characteristics of Baechu kimchi prepared with various types and concentrations of salt. However, Solar salt resulted in more favorable sensory properties and salinity of kimchi than any other types. Further, kimchi prepared with 10% salt showed significantly higher scores in terms of overall acceptability, growth of lactic acid bacteria, salinity, texture, and color characteristics.

The purpose of this study was to obtain basic data necessary for making a nuruk salt by comparing and analyzing the ingredients of various nuruk salts, and to select a nuruk salt that meets the users' needs. We selected the types of nuruk as the ihwaguk, miinguk, baekguk, and koji to identify the characteristics of the nuruk, and then analyzed the chemical characteristics after manufacturing the nuruk salts under the same conditions of fermentation, such as material ratio and temperature. In the manufacture of nuruk salt, the pH level dropped from 6.2~6.5 before fermentation to 6.1~6.2 three days after fermentation. The Acidity increased from 0.16~0.18 before fermentation to 0.22~0.25 after fermentation and there was no difference between the nuruk. The sugar content has risen since fermentation, and nuruk salt made by koji showed the largest increase in the sugar content. The salinity of the nuruk salt was raised to 37~44 after fermentation from 30~32 before fermentation and indicated largest increase in nuruk salt made by koji. Organic acids of nuruk salt were detected in the order of acetic acid, oxalic acid, malic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid. The oxalic acid of the baekguk salt was found to be 0.77 mg/mL, 2.3 times more of the koji, and the succinic acid was also found to be the highest with 1.19 mg/mL. Malic acid, lactic acid, acetic acid, and citric acid were found to have the highest amount of koji salt at 0.29 mg/mL, 1.48 mg/mL, and 0.12mg/mL, respectively, making it a better taste to be soft than other nuruk salt.

This study was designed to investigate fatty acid composition of salt-fermented seafoods in Chonnam area. The seven samples were analyzed for fatty acid composition. The contents of lipid was highest in salt-fer-mented anchovies and followed by salt-fermented small mullets, salt-fermented oysters, salt-fermented sea-arrows and salt-fermented small shrimps. The ratio of fatty acid composition depended on the samples but the major fatty acids were $C_{l6:0}$, $C_{20:5}$, $C_{l6:1}$, $C_{22:6}$, and $C_{l8:1}$ among all samples. The composition of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids was highest in salt-fermented sea-arrows (39.11%) and followed by salt-fermented small shrimps, salt-fermented oysters, salt-fermented anchovies and salt-fermented small mullets. In n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, $C_{20:5}$ was relatively abundant in salt-fermented oysters (17.71%) and salt-fermented sea-arrows (16.38%), and $C_{22:6}$ in salt-fermented sea-arrows (22.22%) and salt-fermented small shrimps (15.13~21.50%). However, $C_{22:6}$ was very little in salt-fermented small mullets.l mullets.

In this study, we suggest conditions to reduce fouling in capacitive deionization (CDI) caused by alginic acid sodium salt, one of the most common fouling-causing substances in natural water and wastewater management. First, NaCl is used as feed material, which is selected as the control of the experiment. As expected, fouling phenomena is not observed from NaCl. On the other hand, when alginic acid sodium salt is added to the inlet, the fouling phenomena can be observed. In order to minimize the fouling phenomena, the feed concentration of alginic acid sodium salt, applied potential during desorption process, and duration of applied potential to our CDI cell are controlled. With 7 mg/L of feed stream concentration, CDI performed using 1.2 V for 1 min during adsorption followed by desorption with -2 V for 1 min exhibited the highest alginic acid salt removal efficiency reaching 50.07%.

By using a synthetic medium simulated on the amino acid composition of soybeam, the effect of salt concentrations on the production of volatile organic acid by the strains of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii So-3101, a soy sauce yeast, was studied at the concentrations of 12.5, 18.0, 22.0 and 28.5% NaCl. The growth, consumption of glucose, and production of alcohol, total acid and volatile organic acid, showed the highest values at a concentration of 12.5% NaCl, and those values were decreased with an increase in the salt concentration. The ratio of volatile organic acid to total organic acid was remained at approximately the same level within the range of salt concentrations between 12.5~22.0%, whereas the ratio was decreased at a salt concentration of 28.5%. After incubation for 16 days, 8 volatile organic acids, i.e. acetic, propionic, n-butyric, isobutyric, isovaleric, isocaproic, n-caproic, and heptanoic acids, were detected by gas chromatography. Among the volatile organic acids, acetic acid was produced in the appreciable amiunt and its ratio to the other volatile acids was increased with an increase in the salt concentration.A small amount of isocaproic, propionic, isobutyric and isovaleric acids were produced, and n-caproic, n-butyric and heptanoic acids were detected only at the lower salt concentration.

The characteristics of natural lactic acid fermentation of radish juice were investigated at different salt concentrations (0~2%) and temperatures (10~3$0^{\circ}C$). Major lactic acid bacteria isolated from the radish juice fermented at 2% slat concentration were Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Lactobacillus brevis. The percentage of lactic acid bacteria against total microbe in the fermented radish juice was over 80% at 0~1% salt concentrations, suggesting the possibility of fermentation even at low salt concentration, but was still active even at 1$0^{\circ}C$. The time to reach pH 4.0 during fermentation of juice of 1% salt concentration was 281~301 hrs at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 50-73 hrs at 3$0^{\circ}C$. The concentrations of sucrose and glucose in the fermented juice were low at high temperatures and were the lowest at a 1.0% salt concentration. However, the content of mannitol showed the opposite trend. Although sour taste, ripened taste, and acidic odor of the fermented juice showed no significant differences among various temperatures and salt concentrations, sensory values of ripened taste and sour acidic were high at high temperatures. The overall quality was the best at 1.0% salt concentration, irrespective of the temperature.

We studied the effect of Bamboo salt-pro on the growth and acid production of S. mutans. The growth of S.mutans was reduced by the presence of the Bamboo salt-pro (1 mg/ml) and NaCl (1 mg/ml) significantly, and the positive control group (1 % of NaF) also exhibited antibacterial activity significantly. Bamboo salt-pro (1 mg/ml) reduced the rate of acid production by S. mutans. Bamboo salt alone did not demonstrate such a reduction in acid production at the concentration of 1 mg/ml. The inhibitory action of Bamboo salt-pro on acid production was found at a concentration of 1 mg/ml, but bamboo salt alone was not at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. In addition, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of Bamboo salt-pro on human mast cell line HMC-1. Bamboo salt-pro (0.1 and 0.01 mg/ml) inhibited significantly the secretion of inflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor-a with $59.47{\pm}0.15%$, $51.98{\pm}0.16%$ respectively. Our results suggest that Bamboo salt-pro importantly contributes to the prevention or treatment of periodontitis and other oral diseases and inflammatory diseases.

Three kinds of salt-fermented Mytilus Edulis were produced: a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55, a Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with teriyaki sauce added; and a A1ytilus edulis seasoning sauce salt-fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added. The salt-fermented Mytilus edulis with teriyaki sauce was high in crude protein (11.44%), and the plum seasoning sauce was more or less high in crude fat. Among the amino acids of the ingredients, glutamic acid was the most abundant in all the samples. The sauce with the highest total amino acid content of 9,169.48 mg per 100 g was the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55. Among the major fatty acids, C16:0 (palmitic acid), which is the main constituent of saturated fatty acid, was the most abundant; and the salt-fermented Mytilus edulis seasoning sauce that was fermented with Lactobacillus Plantarum CHO55 with plum added had a slight high amount of C18:2 (linoleic acid). The sensory evaluation showed the following sauces receiving the highest scores in all the measurement items, in this order, though the difference in their scores was not statistically significant: the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with plum added and the salt-fermented seasoning sauce with teriyaki sauce added.

To evaluate bile salt-tolerance of lactic acid bacteria (LAB, Lactobacillus acidophilus ATCC 4356, Lactobacillus casei IFO 3533, Streptococcus thermnophilus KCTC 2185, Lactobacillus lactis ATCC 4797, and Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATCC 11842), We investigated the survivals, acid production and $\beta $-galactosidase activity of LAB under anaerobic broth system. Cellular permeability of LAB and their cellular retention of $\beta $-galactosidase were also examined in the same system. Although the growth of LAB was slightly suppressed by 0.3% bile salt, they showed normal growth curve. Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185 was significantly more resistant to bile salt than the others. The $\beta $-galactosidase activity from Streptococcus thermophilus KCTC 2185 and Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATCC 11842 and their cellular retention of $\beta $-galactosidase decreased by 0.3% bile salt. The cellular permeability of LAB in the presence of bile salt increased significantly.
