Kimchi, a Korean fermented vegetable is packaged without pasteurization and distributed with live bacteria actively working to produce lactic acid and carbon dioxide gas in the product. The $CO_2$ production consisting of two distinct phases of initial fast and later slow rates depends on kimchi type, salt content and storage temperature. The $CO_2$ produced from kimchi is accumulated in the product package causing volume expansion and pressure buildup. The dependence of $CO_2$ production rate on salt content and storage temperature has been published formerly and can be used for estimating the package volume and pressure under a variety of storage conditions. As methods to alleviate the problems from the produced $CO_2$, package designs with controlled diffusion pinhole, high $CO_2$ permeable film or $CO_2$ absorber have been tried by several researchers. Properly designed packages adopting the device or tool were shown to have high dissolved $CO_2$ in kimchi without volume expansion and pressure buildup, giving good sensory quality with carbonic taste. Advantages and limitations of each method have been discussed.

We investigated changes in the physicochemical characteristics and functional components of the Saengsik cereal grains-milled rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, and barley- by washing with electrolyzed water. There were no changes in the composition of all cereal grains that was dried with hot-air and freeze-dried after being washed with electrolyzed water. The L and a values were not affected by drying in milled rice, brown rice, glutinous rice, or barley, but the b value increased in milled rice and glutinous rice-this increase was greater with hot-air drying than with freeze-drying. The dietary fiber content of the all cereals increased with hot-air drying. The niacin content decreased in all cereals; the extent of this change was greater with hot-air drying than with freeze-drying. The ${\beta}-glucan$ content of barley was higher in samples that underwent freeze-drying than in those treated by hot-air drying, but was not affected by washing with electrolyzed water. Thus, other than a change in color for milled and glutinous rice, no changes in the physicochemical characteristics and functional components these products were observed with freeze-drying. Data indicate that the electrolyzed water washing could be effectively used as pasteurization step in the uncooked cereal grains.

Processing conditions of whole sardine into modified fish sauce were investigated. Thawed and chopped sardine was homogenized and hydrolyzed using commercial proteolytic enzymes such as complex enzyme-2000($2.18{\cdot}10^4U/g solid$) and alcalase($1.94{\cdot}10^4\;U/g solid$) in a cylindrical vessel with 4 baffles and 6-bladed impeller. Optimal pH, enzyme concentration and temperature for the hydrolysis with complex enzyme-2000 were 7.0, $7\%$ (W/W) and $52^{\circ}C$, and-those with alcalase were 8.0, $6\%$ (W/W) and $60^{\circ}C$. In both cases, the reasonable amount of water for homogenization, agitation speed and hydrolyzing time were $100\%$ (W/W), 100 rpm and 210 minutes. Thermal treatment of the filtered hydrolysate at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours with $6\%$ of invert sugar was adequated to inactivation of the enzymes and pasteurization of the hydrolysate. Flavor, taste and color of the hydrolysate were improved during the heating process in which the browning products might participate. The content of free amino nitrogen in the fish sauce seasoned with $15\%$ of table salt was ca. $1,640 mg\%$. Yield of the fish sauce based on the contents of proteinous and free amino nitrogen in the raw whole sardine was ca. $86\%$, and ca. $96\%$ of these compounds of the fish sauce was in the form of free amino nitrogen. The pH, salinity and histamine content of the fish sauce were $6.1\~6.3,\;14.2\~14.3\%$ and less than $10\;mg\%$.

Effect of anti-microbial agents, such as alcohol, garlic, chitosan, K-sorbate, or mustard, or pasteurization on the quality of traditional kochujang was investigated during storage at $30^{\circ}C$ for 24 weeks. Water activities of kochujang decreased after 12 weeks of storage. Consistency increased during storage and highest consistency of kochujang was obtained by the addition of mustard or garlic. Hunter a- and b-values decreased linearly as storage time passed. The degree of increase in total color difference$({\Delta}E)$ of alcohol added group was the highest among the tested anti-microbial agents. Gas was rapidly produced in the control and chitosan added group of kochujang. Capsanthin content decreased more rapidly in the group of alcohol, garlic or mustard added kochujang than the other group. Viable cell counts of yeast and aerobic bacteria in kochujang increased up to 12 weeks of storage, and then decreased slowly. The number of yeast was low in K-sorbate or alcohol added group. Activity of ${\alpha}-amylase$ decreased during storage, but that of ${\beta}-amylase$ increased in alcohol, garlic, K-sorbate added or pasteurized kochujang. Protease activities did not show any remarkable differences in the groups of tested during storage.

This study aimed to establish the optimum culture conditions for Mozzarella cheese by using Streptococcus macedonicus LC743, a strain selected for its immunomodulatory activity. For process optimization, 1.0% and 2.0% strain was inoculated and incubated at $32^{\circ}C$ and $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. The general components, bacterial count, total solids, yields, and immunomodulatory activity of the Mozzarella cheese were investigated. When the strain was inoculated at 2.0% and incubated at $32^{\circ}C$, the product quality and immunomodulatory activity was optimal and required minimal processing time. Therefore, 2.0% of S. macedonicus LC743 starter culture was added to milk at $32^{\circ}C$, after pasteurization at $63^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and agitated for 4~5 min after addition of $230{\mu}L/kg$ of rennet. Curd was made by setting the milk 25~35 min after addition of 0.01~0.02% calcium chloride. The curd was cut at 0.1~0.12% acidity (81 min later) and after heating the cheese to up to $43^{\circ}C$. Whey was removed at an acidity of 0.17~0.18% by agitation for 53 min. Next, cheddaring for 210 min up to an acidity of 0.6~0.65%, stretching at $72{\sim}75^{\circ}C$, and molding at $65{\sim}70^{\circ}C$ were performed, and the product was allowed to cool down to $5^{\circ}C$. Salting was done with a solution of $18{\sim}20^{\circ}B{\acute{e}}$ at $12^{\circ}C$ for 20 min and drying occurred at 80~90% relative humidity at $10^{\circ}C$ for 2~3 days.

Lethal effect on Chinese radish Kimchi was investigated by using a pilot scale Kimchi pasteurizer. A simulation model was presented so as to predict the change in viable cell concentration of the Kimchi during pasteurization. D values of microorganisms in the Kimchi were found to be 2.21, 1.62, 0.73, 0.39 and 0.21min at 60, 64, 70, 75 and $80^{\circ}C$, correspondingly, and thereby z value was $19^{\circ}C$. One cycle time required was 0.99min at flow rate of 4 l/min. The ratio of lethality in preheating section to total lethality was 0.3 and the ratio of lethality in holding, precooling and cooling sections to total lethality was 0.7. The experimental data were in good agreement with the values simulated by two model equations to which linear and exponential temperature profiles were applied at $65^{\circ}C\;and\;70^{\circ}C$ in holding section.

Milk is well known to be rich in some nutrients such as protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins. In particular, absorption and bioavailability of calcium receive lots of attention because calcium is very little absorbed until it is changed to the ionized form in the intestine. In this study, concentration of the soluble calcium was determined in the commercial bovine milk products, which were processed by different heat-treatment methods for pasteurization. As for general constituents, lactose, fat, protein, and mineral were almost same in the liquid milk products by different processors. Ultrafiltration of the skimmed milk caused little change in the permeate as for lactose content but both fat and protein decreased. pH values ranges from 6.57-6.62 at room temperature and slightly increase after centrifugation, 10,000 g, 10 min. Rennet-coagulation activity was the lowest in the ultra high temperature (UHT-)milk compared to the low temperature long time (LTLT-) and high temperature short time (HTST-)milk products. Each bovine milk products contains 1056.5-1111.3 mg/kg of Ca. The content of sulfhydryl group was the lowest in raw milk compared to the commercial products tested. For the skimmed milks after ultrafiltration with a membrane (Mw cut-off, 3 Kd), soluble Ca in the raw milk was highest at 450.2 mg/kg, followed by LTLT-milk 336.4-345.1 mg/kg, HTST-milk 305.5-313.3 mg/kg, UHT-milk 370.3-380.2 mg/kg in the decreasing order. After secondary ultrafiltration with a membrane (Mw cut-off, 1 kD), total calcium in raw milk had a highest of 444.2 mg/kg, and those in the market milk products. As follow: UHT-milk, 371.3 to 378.2 mg/kg; LTLT-milk, 333.3 to 342.2 mg/kg; HTST-milk 301.9 to 311.2 mg/kg in a decreasing order.

Spinach was minimally processed into the unseasoned side dish to be used for Korean food service industry, using the techniques of cook-chill and sous vide. Spinach was blanched at 10$0^{\circ}C$ for 6 minutes, vacuum-packaged in the unit of 500 g by plastic film of low gas permeability, pasteurized at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and then cooled rapidly at 3$^{\circ}C$. The chilled products were then stored at 3 and 1$0^{\circ}C$ with measurement in their quality. Six log cycle (6D) inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and 13 log (13D) thermal destruction of Streptococcus faecalis were compared as two pasteurization conditions, which corresponded to heating for 22.8 and 30.0 minutes at 9$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Milder heat processing based on 6D process of L monocytogenes gave better quality of color, texture, ascorbic acid and chlorophyll than the conditions of 13D process of S. faecalis. Any microbial growth in total aerobic, psychrophilic and anaerobic bacteria was not observed until 8 days at 1$0^{\circ}C$ and 14 days at 3$^{\circ}C$, which might be regarded as strict guidelines of shelf life. Storage times based on the changes in physical and chemical quality were longer than those based on strict microbial quality in case of the products pasteurized by 6D process of L. monocytogenes. The seasoned vegetables prepared from sous vide processed spinach were found to be inferior in sensory quality to those from freshly blanched one.

To obtain the basic data for commercial 10% salted egg yolk for mayonnaise preparation, 3 types of egg yolks [pasteurized egg yolk (Yolk A)-not salted, pasteurized before salting (Yolk B)-salted, and pasteurized after salting (Yolk C)-salted] were prepared, and the changes in quality characteristics of these egg yolks with frozen storage were tested. The results obtained were as follows; Yolk A gelatinized during frozen storage, thus could not used for mayonnaise preparation. The viscosity of the egg yolk increased $3{\sim}5$ times after salting. Viscosity of the salted egg yolk increased with frozen storage time. Viscosity of Yolk B was higher at $-20^{\circ}C$ than $-15^{\circ}C$. Viscosity of Yolk C, however, was higher at $-15^{\circ}C$ than $-20^{\circ}C$. Frozen storage of pasteurized salted egg yolk showed some effects on the emulsification capacity. The effect, however, was smaller than that of unpasteurized salted egg yolk. Microbes of salted egg yolk were decreased with frozen storage, but there was no difference between Yolk B and Yolk C. It was suggested that commercially pasteurized 10% salted egg yolk for mayonnaise preparation can be successfully stored for 12 months at the temperature of $-15{\sim}-20^{\circ}C$.
