Volatile flavor compounds of sauces made from shrimps, crabs or lobsters were analyzed by the combination of canister system, gas chromatography(GC) and mass selective detector(MSD). Of 72 total volatile compounds from 4 kinds of sauces, 45 compounds were identified from shrimp sauce(SS). Ten alkanes, 5 ketones, 3 aldehydes were obtained from SS. Especially, 3-methyl-2-butanone, 2-pentanamine, isobutane, 3-methyl-2-butanol, carbon disulfide and dimethyl sulfide were predominant compounds in SS. In crab sauce(CS), there were 18 compounds identified, including 4 alcohols, 4 alkanes, 3 aldehydes, 2 ketones, acid and amine. 2-Methoxy ethanol, trimethyloxirane and 3-buten-1-ol were special volatile compounds in CC. Volatile compounds from lobster head sauce(LHS) or lobster shell sauce(LSS) were 16 or 18 kinds respectively. The major volatile compounds of LHS were formic acid, 1-propanethiol, $\beta$-pinene and allyl sulfide, and those of LSS were acids, pentane, 3-methyl-1-butanol and 2,4-dimethyl-3-pentanone. It was thought that the volatile compounds identified from sauces as well as shrimps, crabs or lobsters might come from wine, onions, bay leaves or celery used as minor ingredients.

Crab-like flavorants (CFs) were made from snow crab cooker effluent (SCCE) using response surface methodology (RSM) and reaction flavoring technology (RFT). Type A CF was made from SCCE via RSM, RFT, adding starch syrup, centrifugation, and microfiltration. Type B was made from type A by adding the food additives dimethyl sulfide, ethyl valerate and fish sauce. The stability of the CFs was evaluated in terms of the color values, sensory evaluation, and flavor profiles after storage for 90 days at three different temperatures: 10, 20, and $30^{\circ}C$. The compounds, ethanol and 3-methyl-1-butanol, were considered key components of off-flavor and a decrease in dimethyl-2-vinylpyrazine affected the occurrence of off-flavor. It may be a microbial metabolite arising from contamination and lab-scale micro-filtration. At the lowest temperature ($10^{\circ}C$), the decrease in volatile compounds, such as pyrazines, was not as dramatic as at $20^{\circ}C$ and $30^{\circ}C$ and alcohol formation was prevented or delayed. Therefore, it is necessary to store CFs at < $10^{\circ}C$ with suitable sterilization to preserve volatile flavor compounds and prevent off-flavor from occurring.

The edible crab is among the rich resources that can be used as materials for food products, but living crabs and crabs marinated in soy sauce are the only widely utilized materials for food products. For seafood development, research is needed to promote the use of crabs in various products. In this study, the quality changes of fried rice prepared with crab meat, crab emulsion sauce and crab cooker effluent were investigated. The pH and acidity values did not show any significant difference at $-20^{\circ}C$. The acidity of the fried rice continuously increased during storage at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$. The VBN and TBA values of the fried rice stored at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$ were significantly higher than those of the fried rice stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ during the storage period. The viable cell count of the fried rice stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ changed little during the storage period while that of the fried rice stored at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$ rapidly increased over 2 weeks. For the fried rice stored at $-20^{\circ}C$, the overall quality did not show significant differences during the storage period. In conclusion, the best storage temperature for both quality and safety was found to be $-20^{\circ}C$. At such storage temperature, the quality of the stored instant rice using crab meat did not change, and through research the expanding possibilities of using crab materials were confirmed.

This study was conducted to confirm quality properties of sterilized Ganjang-gejang (marinated crab Portunus trituberculatus) with Korean soy sauce using by gamma irradiation and to improve quality of sterilized Ganjang-gejang. The Ganjang-gejang was irradiated at dose of 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 kGy by gamma irradiation and there was evaluated in microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory properties. Total aerobic bacteria and fungi contents of non-irradiated samples were about 6 and 4 log CFU/g level, respectively. Gamma-irradiated samples at above 9 kGy did not contain aerobic bacteria or fungi at detection limit less than 2 log CFU/g, but sensory scores were significantly decreased depending on the irradiation dose. To improve the sensory qualities of gamma-irradiated Ganjang-gejang, the temperature was adjusted during sample irradiation. When samples were irradiated under freezing temperatures, especially on dry ice, the TBARS and the deterioration of sensory qualities of Ganjan-Gejang were reduced. Different odor patterns were observed among samples, as observed using electronic nose analysis system. The results of this study indicated that treatment with irradiation under low temperatures may help to preparing high-quality Ganjang-gejang.

Shrimp in seasoned soy sauce (S-SS) is a popular seafood product in Korea, but it could be potentially hazardous; thus, this study was conducted to investigate its safety. Commercial S-SS were collected and analyzed for pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), hygenic indicator microorganisms (viable cell count, coliforms, and Escherichia coli), food poisoning bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and Listeria monocytogenes), preservatives (dehydroacetic acid, sorbic acid, benzoic acid, and its salt, parahydroxybenzoate), tar colorants, and sensory properties. Domestic and foreign standards were also investigated for S-SS. Commercial S-SS ranged from to 6.2-7.3 for pH, 13.7-39.1 mg/100 g for VBN, and 4.6-6.9 log CFU/g for viable cells. The coliforms and E. coli of commercial S-SS were from ND to 3.4 log CFU/g and negative, respectively. Food poisoning bacteria, preservatives, and tar colorants were not detected in commercial S-SS. Only the coliform count and presence of E. coli in commercial S-SS exceeded the set standards of vietnam, while all items were within domestic and foreign standards.

The red snow crab lives at a depth 200-2,000 m in the east coast. It has a smooth taste with a rich texture. However mostly red snow crab are only utilized materials. For seafood development, research is needed on using red snow crab in various products. In this study, quality changes in fried rice prepared with red snow crab meat, red snow crab emulsion sauce and red snow crab effluent were investigated. Physicochemical, microbiological and sensory characteristics were determined during storage at -20, 4 and $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 weeks to assess changes in the quality of the fried rice. The pH and acidity values did not show any significant differences at $-20^{\circ}C$. The VBN and TBA values of fried rice stored at 4 and $25^{\circ}C$ were significantly higher than those of fried rice stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ during the same storage period. The viable cell count of the fried rice stored at $-20^{\circ}C$ changed little during the storage period. During storage at $25^{\circ}C$, the overall quality was initially 8.0, but rapidly decreased to 1.0 after 5 weeks. In conclusion, the best storage temperature for both quality and safety was $-20^{\circ}C$. The storage condition for instant rice containing red snow crab affects the quality and we confirmed the applicability of using materials from red snow crab.

Paragonimiasis typically results from the consumption of raw or improperly cooked crustacea, especially crabs and crayfish. Although previously endemic in Korea, the prevalence of this disease decreased in the early 1970s because of educational campaigns and fewer intermediate hosts as a result of ecological changes. Recently, we were presented with a family where all members were infected with Paragonimus after ingestion of Kejang (= drunken crab). The mother was hospitalized for general myalgia and weakness first, followed by the father, who was hospitalized for dyspnea 2 month later. After the parents were diagnosed with paragonimiasis, we recommended their daughter to visit our hospital for a checkup, because they all had eaten freshwater crabs soaked in soybean sauce. She complained of generalized myalgia, fever, and pleuritic pain, and was also diagnosed with paragonimiasis. Peripheral blood of the 3 patients revealed hypereosinophilia, and computed tomography (CT) scans of their chests showed pleural effusion. The results of antibody tests by ELISA were positive for paragonimiasis. We report here the case series of familial paragonimiasis in a modern urban city, rather than in a typical endemic area.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferences, consumption, and eating frequencies of housewives for commercialized traditional basic side dishes. The investigators visited 18 food markets and questionnaires were distributed to 464 housewives in the Busan area. The number of basic side dishes being sold at the markets were in the order of seasoned dried radish (17 markets; mk), salted garlic stalk (15 mk), braised black soy beans (14 mk), braised peppers and dried anchovies (13 mk), and braised lotus roots (12 mk). The housewives' order of preferences was for stir-fried dried anchovies, braised peppers and dried anchovies, braised seasoned beef, salted perilla leaf, and perilla leaf kimchi equal to seasoned sea lettuce, respectively. The order for eating frequency was stir-fried dried anchovies, braised peppers and dried anchovies, salted perilla leaf, and perilla leaf kimchi, respectively. Salted perilla leaf, perilla leaf kimchi, braised crab preserved in soy sauce, salted bean leaves, seasoned dried radish, and seasoned crab were either occasionally or frequently purchased by over 40% of the women. However, the reasons they did not purchase these products included: the excess use of chemical seasonings, unsanitary, unreliable cooking process, unreliable the origin, and high price, in the respective order. If the commercialized traditional basic side dishes were improved to eliminate these problems, 52.2% of the housewives would buy the products, and 65.6% anticipated increasing their use of these products in the future.

The effects of pine needle extract and horseradish on the growth of Vibrio isolated from crab and flat fish were investigated. The isolated Vibrios were identified as Vibrio parahaemolyticus HY I and V. vulnificus FST I by Api 20E kit. The growth of V. parahaemolyticus HY 1, V. vulnificus FST I and V. perahaernolytich ATCC17802 were inhibited in tryptic soy broth (TSB) containing 1% pine needle ethanol extract. The growth of the Vibrios was more 2 log inhibited in TSB containing 1% pine needle extract and 1% horseradish than in TSB containing 1% horseradish alone. Viable cells of tile Vibrios were decreased more rapidly about 2~3 log in soysauce containing 1% pine needle extract and 1% of horseradish than in soysauce and in soysauce containing 1% horeseradish. Sensory quality of horseradish sauce containing 1% of pine needle extract was similar to that of horseradish sauce (p<0.05).
