We performed an experiment of keeping the extension of raw and semi-dried flounder (Pleuronectes herzensteini). The effect of with (WG) or without gill (OG), drying degree (20% drying: 20D, 40% drying: 40D) and storage temperature($5^{\circ}C$) and 0.1% chitosan-ascorbate (CA) treatment of vacuum packaging flounder on the growth of contaminated microorganism during storage for 10 days were investigated. Total aerobacter (TA) in the OG-treated raw flounder was $0.29{\sim}0.44$ log cycle lower than that of WG-treated flounder. Also, the number of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and E. coli (EO) in OG were lower compared with WG. The number of TA, SA and EO in 20 D among 0 D, 20 D and 40 D stored at $5^{\circ}C$ were lowest. Especially, the SA and EO was $0.13{\sim}0.53$, 0.3-0.88, and 0.13-0.74 log cycle lower compared with raw flounder. The growth of TA, SA and EO separated from raw flounder in tryptic soy broth were completely inhibited by 0.1% CA. The anti-biotical effect of CA of two microorganisms SA and EO that separated from flounder, and the growth of all of them were 90% (SA), 96% (EO) inhibited at the 0.1% CA. The inhibition times at $37^{\circ}C$ in soy broth was 36 hr. However when CA was added directly to flounder, it appeared inhibition effect to 0.88 log cycle. The effect of CA was better when gills removed and 20% drying.

We made an experiment of keeping extension of raw and semi-dried flounder (Pleuronectes herzensteini). Effect of with(WG) or without gill (OG), drying degree (20% drying：20D, 40% drying：40D) and storage temperature (5 and $10^{\circ}C$) and 0.1% chitosan-ascorbate (CA) treatment of vacuum packaging flounder on growth of contaminated microorganism during storage for 10 days were investigated. Total aerobacter (TA) in the OG-treated raw flounder was $0.3{\sim}0.5$ log cycle lower than that of WG-treated flounder and also, number of coliform (CF) and E. coli (CO) in OG were lower compared with WG. Number of TA,. Especially, the TA was $0.42{\sim}1.20$ log cycle lower compared with raw flounder. The TA of the raw flounder stored at $5^{\circ}C$ compared to $10^{\circ}C$ was $0.6{\sim}1.3$ log cycle lower. The growth of total aerobacter, coliform (and E. coli separated from raw flounder in tryptic soy broth were completely inhibited by 0.1% CA. But the growth of TA in the raw and 20% dried flounder was 1.5 log cycle inhibited by 0.1% CA, and the growth of CF and CO were also slightly inhibited. We did value raw sample that treated CA 0D and 20D, and did vaccum packaging at the $10^{\circ}C$ for 10 days, Sensory quality such as appearance, freshness, and texture and overall acceptability after cooking of the 0.1% CA-treated raw and 20% dried flounder were evaluated from good to very good, while CA non-treated products were evaluated to moderate.
