For the purpose of improving quality of dried anchovy, raw anchovies after hot air drying were subjected to six different processes: 5 min microwave and 1 min holding-12 times (MW5), 10 min microwave and 1 min holding-6 times (MW10), 5 min microwave with hot air and 1 min holding-12 times (MWH5), 10 min microwave with hot air and 1 min holding-6 times (MWH10), 5 min microwave vacuum and 1 min holding-12 times (MWV5), 10 min microwave vacuum and 1 min holding-6 times (MWV10) at 100 Watt and 2450MHz. There were no significant effects of different processes on water content, pH, color, acid value and volatile basic nitrogen. The sum of fatty acids on commercial anchovy occupied 38.34% of saturates 22.91% of monoenes and 22.91% of polyenes and dried anchovies subjected to microwave processes had similar compositions. Dominant fatty acids were palmitic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in each process. Among the free amino acids, alanine, arginine, lysine and leucine were dominant in all processes. Dried anchovies showed little significant differences in texture in all processes. Sensory evaluation data showed that the quality of dried anchovy subjected to microwave process was acceptable and microwave vacuum process was the most desirable one.

Isopropyl alcohol extracted filefish protein concentrate (FPC) and NaOH hydrolyzed filefish protein isolate (FPI) were used for the investigation on the effect of processing conditions on the molecular distribution and functional properties. The molecular distribution of FPC on polyacrylamide gel showed a resemblance to that of fish muscle, but that of alkaline hydrolyzed FPI showed the severe degradation of protein. The content of several amino acids in FPI were lower than those of FPC. The pepsin digestibility of the FPC dried at high temperature was relatively high. FPC didn't exhibit a significant difference in nitrogen solubility at the pH range of 3.0-9.0, while FPI showed a wide difference with the pH change. FPI was more suspensible and rehydrated in water than FPC. Although the aeration capacity of FPI was very low, foam viscosity was higher than that of FPC. In contrast with aeration capacity, FPI presented higher emulsion capacity and lower emulsion viscosity than FPC. The size of fat globule in the emulsion of FPC was larger than that of FPI. In general, most functional properties decreased with the increment in drying temperature, except water holding capacity.

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of two different sizes of extruded pellets (EP) ($EP_1$ - 3 mm or $EP_2$ - 5 mm) and a moist pellet (MP) in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, reared in semi-recirculation system. A total of 450 fish with an average initial weight of $5.0{\pm}0.2g$ (mean ${\pm}$ SD) were fed one of the three experimental diets in triplicate groups. At the end of a 6-week feeding trial, weight gain, specific growth rate, and feed efficiency of fish fed EP diets were significantly higher than those of fish fed MP (P < 0.05). Water quality parameters like turbidity, total ammonia nitrogen, and total phosphorous from tanks of fish fed $EP_1$ and $EP_2$ were significantly lower than those from tanks of fish fed MP. Blood plasma glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase and glucose concentration were significantly higher in fish fed MP diet compared to fish fed EP diets (P < 0.05). Whole body crude protein contents in fish fed EP diets were higher than those from the fish fed MP diet. Whole body amino acid content like threonine, aspartic acid, serine, tyrosine, and cystine were found to be significantly higher in fish fed EP diets than those in fish fed MP diet. In considering overall performance of olive flounder, $EP_2$ diet could be recommended for the successful aquaculture of this important fish species.

This study presented the change of quality characteristics of Doenjang with various salt concentrations (4, 8, 15, and 20%) during 12 months. The pHs of Doenjang during fermentation were gradually increased for 12 months, whereas the pHs of Doenjang with 4 and 8% salt increased rapidly. Titratable acidity of Doenjang with 4 and 8% salt was high at initial time, while Doenjang with 15 and 20% salt was high at the 9 and 12 months. The amino-type nitrogen content of Doenjang with 4 and 8% salt was increased and ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity of all Doenjang was decreased during whole fermentation period. The protease activity of Doenjang with 4 and 8% salt was higher than Doenjang with 15 and 20% salt until 7 months. Total aerobic bacteria number 8.0~9.1 log CFU/g for 12 months, which was steady during fermentation period. Doenjang with 8% salt showed the highest score in umami taste whereas the lowest score in bitterness, astringency, and sourness tastes between 5 and 12 months. In conclusion, Doenjang with 8% salt was a suitable concentration for low-salt fermented foods.

The effect of sweet potato on the quality of Doenjang was investigated during fermentation. Viable cells of yeast decreased gradually after 4 weeks of fermentation, but those of aerobic bacteria increased in the late stage. Amylase activity of Doenjang was higher in the late stage of fermentation, while neutral protease maintained high activity during fermentation. Hunter L and b values of Doenjang decreased gradually during fermentation, while a value was increased. The pH of Doenjang decreased gradually until 10 weeks of fermentation, and the titratable acidity was low in the sweet potato added groups. The acid value was low in the Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang. Water activity and oxidation-reduction potential of Doenjang decreased during fermentation. Reducing sugar of Doenjang decreased in the middle stage of fermentation, and it was low in sweet potato added groups. The alcohol content of Doenjang decreased after 2 weeks of fermentation. Amino and ammonia-type nitrogen of Doenjang increased during fermentation and reached the maximum after 10 and 12 weeks of fermentation, respectively. After 12 weeks fermentation, 8% of Shinyulmi sweet potato added Doenjang was more favorable taste, flavor and overall acceptability (p<0.05) than the control or the Yeonwhangmi sweet potato added groups.

This study investigated changes in quality characteristics of soy sauce (Kanjang) with Gastrodia elata (GK) in aged for 6 months, and developed new soy sauce products with improved sensory characteristics. The pH level was maintained in all samples. The salinity slowly increased, and then decreased in GK 10% after 5 months. The sugar content (Brix) increased after 2 months, except in GK 10%. Crude protein and amino nitrogen contents increased with time. The optical density showed significant differences after 5 months in GK 5%. The total polyphenol contents were highest in GK 5% aged for 5 months up to 31 mg/mL. The flavonoid contents of GK 5% were highest after 5 months up to 122 mg/mL. Finally, sensory tests of GK 10% showed higher total acceptance after 2 months. The results show that an aging period of 5 months in GK 5% greatly enhanced quality characteristics.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of the cold air dried anchovies (CA), and compared with those of sun-dried anchovies (SA) and hot air dried anchovies (HA). Peroxide value increased, while ratio of percentage of (20:5+22:6) to that of 16:0 decreased during boiling and drying. The extents of change were CA>SA>HA in the order. In the case of CA, lightness was higher, but redness, yellowness and degree of browning was lower than in SA and HA. From the results of lipid properties, color test and sensory evaluation on color and rancidity odor, lipid deterioration was the lowest in CA of all boiled dried anchovy. Favorite properties such as a hot-water soluble nitrogen content and sensory evaluation on color and appearance of CA was superior to that of SA and HA. The nutritional properties (total amino acid contents, mineral contents and fatty acid compositions) of CA was similar to that of SA, but was superior to that of HA. Consequently, CA was recognized as a boiled dried anchovy with the most quality.

Quality characteristics of 3 kinds of kochujang were investigated during 6 months of fermentation in order to improve the quality of industrial kochujang to that of traditional one. Three different kinds of kochujang were prepared using Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus oryzae plus Bacillus licheniformis and Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus licheniformis plus Saccharomyces rouxii. Kochujang prepared with all three microorganisms contained lesser amounts of free sugar than the other preparations and glucose was the most abundant free sugar found. Ethanol was the most abundant amount among alcohols in kochujang. Kochujang prepared with A. oryzae, B. licheniformis plus S. rouxii has more amino nitrogen content than that prepared with A. oryzae only. Capsaicin contents of kochujang decreased slightly in all three kochujang, but there was no significant differences. The results of sensory evaluation showed statistically significant difference among three samples and panel members preferred the taste and flavor of kochujang prepared with all three microorganisms to those of the other samples.

In order to utilize effectively sea mustard(Undaria pinnatifida) which is excellent in nutrition and medical action, powdered sea mustard juice was prepared and then its chemical composition and the stability of pigments were examined. Powdered sea mustard was made by washing fresh sea mustard with tap water to remove clay and sand, blanching at $85^{\circ}C$ for 20 sec in mixing solution(3% salt+1% $MgCO_3$), hot air drying($50-55^{\circ}C$, 3 hrs) after draining and pulverizing dried sea mustard to 200mesh. And then powdered sea mustard mixtures for juice type beverage was made by adding 0.75% of salt, 1.25% of sugar, 0.2% of ascorbic acid, 0.25% of flour of roasted barley and 0.8% of pulverized sea mustard to 100ml of water. Chemical composition of product was not scarcely changed during processing while amino-nitrogen content was increased and alginic acid and ash contents were decreased. The retention of chlorophyll and total carotenoid pigments of product against fresh sea mustard were 91.6% and 89.5% respectively. Judging from sensory evaluation, color, flavor, taste and dispersibility of powdered sea mustard juice were excellent and undesirable flavor of product was masked by addition of flour of roasted barley.

Nutritional components and antioxidant activities of commercial loquat leaf tea (CLLT) were evaluated. Proximate compositions were as follows; moisture 5.34%, crude protein 8.38%, crude fat 13.26%, nitrogen free extract 46.21%, crude fiber 19.24% and crude ash 7.57%, respectively. Ascorbic acid and total phenolics content of CLLT was 0.47 mg/100 g and 42.55 mg/GAE g, respectively. Mineral elements were Ca 1,624.01 mg/100 g, K 1,099.66 mg/100 g, and Mg 192.70 mg/100 g, respectively. Amino acid contents of CLLT were very rich in glutamic acid 565.98 mg/100 g and deficient in cystine 12.97 mg/100 g. The 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6- sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities of hot water extract from CLLT were 72.51% and 90.11%, respectively at a concentration of $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. Reducing power and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) of hot water extract from CLLT were increased in a dose dependent manner. Therefore, these results suggest that the hot water extract of CLLT possess antioxidant activities and thus it has great potential as a source for functional food such as natural antioxidant.
