This study investigated and compared chemical properties and biological activities of four commercial sikhae products (three flat-fish, Pleuronectes herzensteini, Sikhae: product A, B, C; one Alaska pollack, Theragra chalcogramma, Sikhae: product D) and Alaska pollack Sikhae (product E). Total acidity, amino nitrogen, salinity and pH in all products were in ranges of $0.47-1.93\;g\%$, $145.94-204.81\;mg\%$, $3.40-4.00\%$ and 4.38-5.55, respectively. All products showed antimicrobial activities against Bacillus ceraus subtilis, B. cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, except for Salmonella typhimurium. Particularly the activities were more effective with gram positive bacteria than gram negative bacteria. Antioxidative $(EDA_{50};\;14.20\;mg/mL)$ and Fibrinolytic (0.95 plasmin unit/mL) activities of product E were much stronger than commercial Sikhae products (EDA50; 18.87-34.60 mg/mL and 0.69-0.85 plasmin unit/mL).

The possibility of wine making from soft and dried persimmon and the effects of treatment for persimmon on the quality of wine have been investigated. Soft persimmon was pretreated by two method of heat and hydrochloric acid treatment. Fermentation mash was composed of 12% persimmon and 15% of sucrose and was fermented at 17$^{\circ}C$ for 36 days. The fermentation using persimmons which were untreated and treated by acid was not successful because of contamination caused by lactic acid and acetic acid bacteria. Acidity of the fermented broth produced from boiled dried acid treated and untreated persimmon was 4,4, 5.0, 5,8 and 13.5ml(0.1N NaOH/10ml broth) respectively. Ethanol concentration of the fermented broth produced from boiled dried acid treated and untreated persimmon was 11.2, 10.0, 9.4 and 6.1% v/v respectively. The wine fermented for 28day's fermentation using boiled persimmon as substate had the best quality and stability. After 36day's fermentation using boild persimon following composition was obtained: 4.65% of total sugar 3.65% of reducing sugar 0.03mg/ml of protin 0.17$\mu$/ml of amino acid and 13.02 $\mu$g/ml of pectin. The pH and yeast cell of the boiled persimmon broth were 3.4 and 5.75 logCFU/ml. Fermented wine using dried persimmon had aslo good quality but the fermentation rate was slow.

Changes in the quality characteristics of doenjang prepared with a meju containing components of Acanthopanax senticosus, Angelica gigas and Corni fructus during storage were evaluated. Three types of doenjang produced using each of these components showed lower Hunter's L and a values than the values of the control during the initial stage of storage: however, these values were similar to those of the control after 60 days of storage. Doenjang containing A. gigas showed a similar degree of browning to that of the control during the early stage of storage, while the degree of browning observed in the other samples was much higher than that og the control during this period. Despite these initial differences, the browning in all samples became similar after extended storage. The level of acidity increased gradually for up to 60 days, after which it decreased slightly. The pH of all treatments decreased with storage time. The amino-N contents of all types of doenjang increased gradually, reaching peak values after 60 days. Doenjang with A. senticosus and A. gigas had a strong characteristic flavor that reduced the native flavor of doenjang. Doenjang with C. fructus showed a similar overall palatability to that of the control.

Changes in chemical components of small black bean chungkugjang(SBBC) added with kiwi and radish as foodstuffs to repress off-odor and enhance the quality of SBBC suring fermentation were investigated. Optimal pretreatment conditions of small black bean suitable to the fermentation of chungkugjang were 3 hrs of soaking time 1.5 times of ratio of water to black bean. 1.0 atm of high pressure, 20 min of heating time, cutting and crushing of heat-treated black bean. Moisture content of SBBC was remarkably lower than that of soybean chungkugjang(SBC) as control. Crude protein of SBBC was in the range 23.37∼25.71% and higher than that of SBC, Crude lipid of SBBC was lower than that of SBC. Crude lipid of SBBC added with kiwi and radish paste was decreased than that of SBBC without two foodstuffs. pH of SBBC were rapidly increased to 24 hrs of fermentation and gradually increased thereafter. Total acidity was shown to be reversely decreased as compared to pH tendency. Reducing sugar was increased to 24 hrs of fermentation and then decreased. In SBBC and SBC, potassium was the most abundant followed by phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.

We sought to extend the shelf-life of Alaska pollack Theragra chalcogramma sikhae while maintaining quality. We compared the chemical, microbiological, and organoleptic characteristics of sikhae prepared under four different conditions. Control fish were fermented at ambient temperature ($21{\pm}2^{\circ}C$); other samples were stored at $5^{\circ}C$ after fermentation at ambient temperature for 36 h (A1), 60 h (A2), and 84 h (A3). Volatile basic nitrogen and amino-nitrogen levels, and total acidity increased with fermentation time in all samples, but the pH fell, attaining a relatively lower level in the control than in other samples. Over 90% of all viable cells were lactic acid-producing bacteria; this proportion did not change significantly during fermentation. In terms of texture, only hardness was affected by fermentation. The hardness of the control fell more rapidly than did that of the other samples. In terms of sensory evaluation (the acceptance test and quantitative descriptive analysis [QDA]), A2 was superior to other samples after fermentation for different times; A2 maintained limited salability (6 points on the relevant index) for up to 17 days of storage.

The aim of this study was to develop rice wine (Yakju) containing various amounts and particle sizes of ginseng powder and to analyze the physicochemical characteristics and content of ginsenosides in ginseng-Yakju. Soluble solid content, pH, ethanol concentration, acidity, amino acid content, and evaluation of preference showed no difference between four kinds of Yakju groups, regardless of ginseng supplementation and particle size of the ginseng powder. During fermentation of Yakju containing ginseng, the contents of ginsenosides Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, and Rc were decreased. Otherwise, the content of ginsenoside Rh1 was increased highly by brewing microorganisms in Yakju. Recovery ratios of ginsenosides in ginseng-Yakju were approximately 25.4% (coarse ginseng power) and 23.8% (fine ginseng powder), which were superior to the recovery ratio of ginsenosides in Yakju containing ginseng slices (5%).
