The quality changes of the extracts of salt-fermented Ammodytes personatus during the storage were examined at 1 month interval during 3 months fermentation period. To prepare the extracts of Ammodytes personatus, 17%, 20% and 25% salt were added respectively and then stored for 3 months at room temperature and then extracted with hot water. During the storage, moisture and lipid contents of the samples decreased, but the crude protein contents increased gradually. On the other hand, ash content and pH showed little changes during the fermentation storage. After 6 months fermentation, the extracts of salt-fermented Ammodytes personatus were rich in free amino acids, such as glutamic acid, alanine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine, valine and aspartic acid in the order. As the fermentation progressed, the fish odor, turbidity, salty taste, savory flavor and overall preferences were similar to those of Ammotlytes personatus sauce in the market. The total cell numbers were 450∼570 cfu/mL at 0 day, but there were none revealed during the fermentation.

35 samples of Korean fermented foodstuffs were tested to isolate and to identify for aflatoxins. Aflatoxin $G_1$ was detected in samples of soybean and Kanjang (Soybean sauce), and aflatoxins $G_1$ & $G_2$ in Meju (fermented soybean mass) and Dwenjang (fermented soybean paste). In the culture media of Aspergillus flavus aflatoxins $B_1,\;B_2,\;G_1\;and\;G_2$ were also isolated and identified. Aflatoxins were confirmed by the thin layer chromatography with methanol : chroroform (5:95v/v) developer and the ultra violet absorption spectrum.

About 760 papers and patents of the traditional fermented food in Korea were collected which were published during 1917-1988, and then the papers were classified, outlined and reviewed. Study of traditional fermented food was about 10% of total study on Korean Foods, and that of alcoholic beverage was 50%, soy sauce and related product was 30% and kimchi was less than 20% of total study of traditional fermented foods. Though considerable amount of studies were accomplished before the World War II, but a few study was accomplished during the Korean war. The research activity is, hitherto, increasing gradually, but the systematic studies were rarely done. The studies to be investigated were processing quality of raw materials, classification, standardization, sensory quality of the product and so on.

The core ingredient of traditional Korean style soy sauce is soy bean without any wheat or rice incorporated. National brands as well as regional micro-brewed companies constitute the soy sauce market in Korea. The present study investigated the physico-chemical and sensory properties of soy sauces produced by small-scale or mass-production. Additionally, the key physico-chemical parameters sufficiently representing the critical sensory characteristics have been identified. Ten types of soy sauce brewed by the Korean traditional method were selected for the study. Among these samples, seven types were brewed in small-scales in the Gyeonggi-do region whereas the other 3 types were mass-production products of major national brands. The total solid, reducing sugar, salinity, sugar content, amino nitrogen, CIELAB, acidity, and pH of soy sauce samples were measured for the physico-chemical analysis. A generic descriptive analysis was conducted to analyze the sensory characteristics of the samples using six trained panelists. The descriptive panel developed 21 sensory attributes. The data were statistically analyzed using ANOVA, PCA and PLSR. Overall, the micro-brewed products showed significantly higher value of salinity and acidity but lower content of reducing sugar than the mass-production products. The micro-brewed soy sauces elicited stronger fermented flavor, sourness, and bitterness whereas the national brand products elicited stronger alcoholic odor, sweetness and umami taste. Sugar content, acidity, and amino nitrogen showed strong relationships with fish sauce flavor, umami taste, and rich flavor. Salinity was closely related to the overall flavor intensity.

Chemical and microbial properties of Northern sand lance, Ammodytes personatus, sauce fermented at $15^{\circ}C$ with fermentation accelerating agents, koji, enzyme, and squid viscera, were analyzed. Total creatine content of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera increased up to 2 months of ripening and decreased gradually thereafter, while that with koji or enzyme, and control, increased up to 3 months of ripening and then decreased slowly. TBA values of all samples increased sharply during early ripening, followed by slight decrease. Free amino acid content with all agents increased continuously as fermentation progressed. Major free amino acids of Northern sand lance sauce were glutamic acid, alanine, valine, leucine, and lysine. Total viable cell counts with all agents also increased during early ripening and then decreased. Total viable cell count of Northern sand lance sauce with squid viscera was the highest followed that with koji, enzyme, and control. Northern sand land sauce manufactured with koji showed the most acceptable sensory evaluation result, followed by that with squid viscera.

Antioxidative characteristics and it's related substances of fermented soybean sauce in lipid oxidation process were studied. Soybean sauce was prepared according to various periods of fermentation, and model systems were made of cooked ground meat with soybean sauce of various levels of combination (1/10,2/10,3/10,4/10,5/10 in system) and various fermentation periods (0,2,4.6 months). During the storage for 5 weeks at $6^{\circ}C$, antioxidative activities of soybean sauce in the systems were increased with the increase of concentration and fermentation period of soybean sauce. And also in the comparison of the antioxidative effect on the compositions of total phenol content, Maillard browning reaction products and free amino acids in the soybean sauces of the various fermentation periods, the browning products were considered as the major antioxidative substances in soybean sauce.

Soybean sauce fermented with soybean and wheat, has been a major condiment of Korean diets from centuries ago. Melanoidin, a brown pigment generally found in various food systems, is a final product produced in amino-carbonyl reaction during soybean sauce processing. Antioxidative activities of soybean sauce and melanoidin were investigated in vitro system using linoleic acid emulsion. Soybean sauce and glucose-lysine model melanoidin showed the stronger antioxidative effect than control by ferric thiocyanate and conjugated diene assays. In addition, DPPH radical scavenging effect of soybean sauce was higher than melanoidin, which was ascribed to soluble peptide and low molecular protein existing in soybean sauce. To ascertain antioxidative effect of dietary soybean sauce and melanoidin in vivo, the male Wister rats were fed 10% soybean sauce or 10% glucose-lysine model melanoidin with corn oil or fish oil for 5 weeks. Fatty acid compositions in liver and plasma were influenced by oil source. Therefore, EPA and DHA contents of fish oil group were higher than those of corn oil group. When the inhibitory effect of soybean sauce and melanoidin on lipid peroxidation using TBARS methods was measured, fish oil group (FC) showed higher malondialdehyde (MDA) content than corn oil group (CC). However, supplementation of soybean sauce and melanoidin to fish oil group attenuated MDA formation. In the levels of phosphatidyl choline hydroperoxide (PCOOH) in liver and plasma by CL (chemiluminescence)-HPLC method, PCOOH in FC group was significantly higher than that of CC group both in liver and plasma. Supplementation of soybean sauce to fish oil groups significantly inhibited the formation of PCOOH in plasma and liver, while melanoidin suppressed hepatic PCOOH formation. Based on these results, it can be suggested that soybean sauce possesses stronger antioxidative potential than melanoidin.

Soybean has been favored by many Thai people and it has been prepared by numerous different methods. Collected samples are as follows: Thua-nao paste from Chiangrai province, dried Thua-nao for Jatujak Market, Bangkok, 3 types of commercial soybean paste, soybean sauce and 2 types of fermented soybean curd cakes with other ingredients. Moisture contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 68.5 and $7.6\%$, respectively; therefore the shelf-life of dried Thua-nao can be extended to 1 year with proper packaging. The remainder of the soy foods had moisture contents of 55.4 to $64.4\%$. Fat contents of fresh and dried Thua-nao were 7.4 and $19.7\%$, respectively, whereas other samples contained less than $3\%$. Dried Thua-nao had the highest CHO (carbohydrates) content $(37.4\%);$ in contrast, soybean sauce contained only $4.5\%$. Calcium content was highest in dried Thua-nao followed by fresh Thua-nao; the other fermented soy foods had less than 44.7 mg/l00 g. Salt was added to samples other than Thua-nao resulting in high Na contents. Free and total daidzein contents of dried Thua-nao were 355 and 676 ug/g; similarly free and total genistein contents were 293 and $616.5\;\mug/g$, respectively.

This study was conducted to understand the quality characteristics of 20 kinds of commercial salt-fermented anchovy & sand lance sauces by measuring their the chemical compositions and 9 biogenic amines (tryptamine, 2-phenylethylamine, putrescin, cadaverine, histamine, tyramine, serotonin, noradrenaline, spermine) contents. The commercial salt-fermented anchovy sauces contained $65.84{\pm}0.11{\sim}70.60{\pm}0.21%$ of moisture, $20.50{\pm}0.41{\sim}25.60{\pm}0.42%$ of salinity, $0.98{\pm}0.01{\sim}2.05{\pm}0.05%$ total nitrogen, and $1,011.77{\pm}0.00{\sim}1,724.56{\pm}9.72mg/100mL$ of amino nitrogen. Histamine was the major amine detected in salt-fermented fish sauces and it was varied from 421.27 to 1,507.18 mg/kg in salt-fermented anchovy sauces, whereas commercial salt-fermented sand lance sauces contained $67.87{\pm}0.28{\sim}69.63{\pm}0.17%$ moisture, $22.46{\pm}0.28{\sim}26.11{\pm}0.00%$ salinity, $0.92{\pm}0.01{\sim}1.71{\pm}0.05%$ total nitrogen, $878.20{\pm}0.00{\sim}1430.09{\pm}9.77mg/100mL$ amino nitrogen and 419.10~1,025.50 mg/kg histamine, respectively. These findings suggest that the products of salt-fermented fish sauces have pretty much the same in ingredient composition and meet domestic criteria but most those had high biogenic amine contents. Therefore, ingredient composition and biogenic amine content of commercial salt-fermented fish sauce products were practicable evaluation of the quality characteristics.
