Kang-Nung sik-hae is a traditional Korean fermented fish product which has remained in existence in Kang-Nung district. In order to preserve the traditional culture of Kang-Nung sik-hae and develop it as a commercial product, the property changes of sik-hae were investigated at different fermentation temperatures and periods. The chemical changes during the fermentation of squid(Todarodes pacificus) sik-hae were studied at different fermentation temperatures and periods. The amounts of proximate compositions and salinity did not change significantly at all fermentation temperatures and periods. The value of pH decreased with increasing storage period at all fermentation temperatures except at $5^{\circ}C$, whereas that of lactic acid at all fermentation temperatures increased. The amount of total arginine increased slightly up to 10-day of storage and decreased after that. The amount of $NH_2-N$ increased rapidly up to 15-day of storage at all temperatures and increased slightly after that. The amount of TMAO decreased significantly at $15^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ and slightly at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;10^{\circ}C$, whereas that of TMA increased significantly at $20^{\circ}C$ up to 5-day of storage and decreased slightly after that. At all experimental temperatures except $5^{\circ}C$, the amount of TMA increased or fluctuated in proportion to the increase in fermentation periods. Inosine and hypoxanthine were the main components of nucleotides and their related compounds during the fermentation of sik-hae. Summarizing the above results, the optimum fermentation period of sik-hae was concluded to be 15-days at all experimental temperatures except $5^{\circ}C$.

Software for refrigerator capable of both rapid fermentation and suitable storage of Kimchi was developed and its performance was investigated. Refrigerator system consists of an insulated fermentation room, heater, damper for the control of outer cold air and two sensors for recognizing temperature of heater and fermentation room, which control temperature and time period of affecting Kimchi fermentation. Effects of fermentation at different NaCl concentration and three fermentation function keys were studied; At key I, time which was elapsed to edible ripening state, pH 4.5 and total acid 0.6%, was about $3{\sim}4$, $4{\sim}5$ and $11{\sim}12$ days, respectively. At key II, time was about $2{\sim}3$, $3{\sim}4$, and $10{\sim}11$ days, and at key III, about 2, 3 and $9{\sim}10$ days, respectively. Effect of storage at three fermentation function keys was all maintained to the level of a palatable pH range until 14 days. Sensory evaluation of Kimchi showed also significant difference in a taste.

The effects of addition of celulases (A cremonium cellulolyticus and Trichoderma viride, CE), a commercial inoculum containing lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus casei, LAB), fermented green juice (macerated napier grass with water was incubated anaerobically with 2% glucose for 1 day, FGJ) and glucose (G), and regional difference of ensiling on napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) silage were studied by using 900 ml laboratory glass bottle silos under 30 and $40^{\circ}C$ storage conditions in 1995 and 1996. Experiment 1 was carried out to compare the addition of CE, LAB, FGJ and the combinations. Silages were stored for 45 days after ensiling. Experiment 2 studied the effects of applications of CE, LAB, FGJ and G. Experiment 3 was carried out using the similar additives as experiment 2 except for LAB. Silages were stored for 60 days in the experiments 2 and 3. Experiments 1 and 2 were done in Nagoya, and experiment 3 in Okinawa. Sugar addition through CE or G improved the fermentation quality in all the experiments, which resulted in a greater decrease in the pH value and an increased level of lactic acid, while butyric acid contents increased under $30^{\circ}C$ storage condition in CE addition. LAB and FGJ additions hardly affected the silage fermentation quality without additional fermentable carbohydrate. But the combination of LAB, FGJ and glucidic addition (CE and G) improved the fermentation quality. The effect of the regional difference of ensiling between temperate (Nagoya; $35^{\circ}$ N) and subtropical (Okinawa; $26.5^{\circ}$ N) zones on silage fermentation quality was not shown in the present study.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of sub-atmosphere on the fermentation and heat treatment after fermentation of Kimchi. When the results from the conditions of atmosphere and under-atmosphere were compared, the growth of lactic acid bacteria was increased but the growth of aerobic bacteria was decreased under 560mmHg and 360mmHg. The number of total microorganism was decreased and simultaneously damaged to the tissue of Kimchi under 0mmHg. Kimchi fermented under 560mmHg and 360mmHg had longer storage duration than that of atmosphere. Among the several conditions, the result of heat treatment under 460-260mmHg was the best. the treatment for 4 minutes at 80$^{\circ}C$, 2 minutes at 100$^{\circ}C$, and 1 minute at 120$^{\circ}C$ was good in tissue states and storage.

This study aimed at defining radish cultivars to a best cooking usage based on their physiochemical and textural characteristics of Nabakkimchi. Baekkwang, Daeburyong, Chungwoon and Taebaek were used as four types of radish cultivars. Nabakkimchi was stored at $8^{\circ}C$ either after fermentation for 12 hours at $25^{\circ}C$(A group) or without preliminary fermentation(B group). As storage period went by, lightness was decreased. Haziness of liquid showed sudden increase at preliminary fermentation in group A, while it increased between the third day and fifth day in group B. Hardness of 'Fall season' type was relatively high after storage. pH was suddenly decreased on the second day in A group and on the fifth day in B group. Acidity was suddenly increased on the second day in A group and since the third day at B group. As a result of sensory evaluation, Chungwoon stored for 2 days after preliminary fermentation was the best variety.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Paecilomyces japonica mycelia(PJM) on pH, titrable acidity and microbiological qualify of Jeungpyun(fermented rice cake). Jeungpyun prepared with $0\~\%$ of PJM stored at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks and 7 days respectively. Before fermentation of Jeungpyun dough, viable cells of total bacterial counts(TBC), yeasts and lactic acid bacteria(LAB) were $6.0\~9.8\times10^6,\;5.3\~9.0\times10^6,\;5.4\~8.5\times10^6\;CFU/g$, respectively. During the fermentation of dough, viable cells of TBC, yeasts and LAB increased $0.3\~0.4$ log cycle and pH was decreased whereas acidity increased as the progress of fermentation. Total viable cells in Jeungpyun before storage were $5.0\times10^1\;CFU/g$. During storage of Jeungpyun, TBC, yeasts and LAB of control group increased 2.6, 2.4, 2.1 log cycle at $5^{\circ}C$ and 4.8, 4.6, 4.5 log cycle at $50^{\circ}C$, respectively, when reached at maximum level. Major microflora of Jeungpyun was composed of yeasts and LAB during fermentation of dough and storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. Addition of PJM, inhibited the growth of microorganisms, the changes of PH and titrable acidity of Jeungpyun during storage at both of $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$. From these results, the addition of PJM extended the shelf-life of Jeungpyun during storage at $5^{\circ}C\;and\;20^{\circ}C$.

The quality and storage characteristics of low salted onion and five cereals-doenjang (DFO) were investigated. At the DFO, soybean koji ($57{\sim}62%$), onion (3%) and salt (8%) were mixed with equal amount of rice, barley, glutinous millet and glutinous indian millet ($10{\sim}30%$), and water ($7{\sim}12%$). The storage of DFO was done by vacuum packing in polypropylene tube, and sterilized at $121^{\circ}C$. The fermentation and storage was conducted for 60 days at $25^{\circ}C$ at each condition. Control doenjang (GD) was the salinity of 16% soybean doenjang that was not sterilized and packed in plastic containers for storage. During the fermentation, pH of DFO was lower than GD. The pH maintained stability during the storage, and revealed to be lowered, as the proportion of mixed cereals was higher. During the fermentation of DFO, the brix degree revealed to be higher than GD and maintained s1ability during the storage. During the fermentation and storage, the amino nitrogen content of DFO was ranged $400{\sim}470mg%$ by showing higher content than GD and maintained stable content during the storage. During the fermentation, the activities of protease and ${\beta}$-amylase were maintained to be high at DFO, but the activities during the storage were high at GD. The color $L^*$ value of DFO during fermentation and storage maintained higher values than GD, but $a^*$ value revealed lower pattern. Total free amino acids of DFO was ranged $1,918{\sim}2,290mg%$ which was higher than GD that recorded 1,291 mg%. When the sensory evaluation was conducted for DFO that was fermented and stored for 60 days, the DFO mixed with $20{\sim}30%$ of cereals resulted to have more savory taste, flavor, and sweeter than GD, and overall acceptability for color and overall taste was high.
