The ATP related compounds play an important role in a taste of traditional salt-fermented seafoods (Jeotkals). The ATP related compounds were analyzed in the traditional anchovy Jeotkal during fermentation and 11 kinds of commercial Jeotkals by enzymatic method compared with existing HPLC method, In the traditional anchovy Jeotkal, the contents of $ATP{\~}IMP$ decreased during fermentation, while the contents of Hx reached maximum value at 60 days fermentation and thereafter decreased gradually. Uric acid was detected at 30 days fermentation and showed the gentle increment after that. In the commercial Jeotkals, uric acid was detected $14.6{\~}28.4{\%}$ of total ATP related compounds content by enzymatic method, while it was not detected by HPLC method. From these results, enzymatic method is more accurate than HPLC method for analysis of the ATP related compounds in Jeokals.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the preferred methods for making summer kimchi as a basic research of making commercial kimchi. Questionnaire were collected from 590 housewives nationwide in Korea, and the data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows: (1) The average salting time of Chinese cabbage was 3~5 hrs when the combined method of dry and brine salting was used, regardless of the region. (2) Seven jeotkals (salt-fermented fishes) including anchovy, anchovy juice, shrimp, northern sand lance juice, hair-tail viscera, flatfish and yellow corvenia were mainly used in kimchi. Among them, anchovy and anchovy juice jeotkals were preferred to all others in Southern area (Busan, Gwangju, Gyeongnam, Gyeongbuk, Jeonnam), while shrimp jeotkal in Seoul, Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Chungnam and Jeju, and northern sand lance juice jeotkal in Daegu, Daejeon and Gyeonggi, respectively. In most regions, however, blending type of 2 jeotkals was used in kimchi. (3) Eleven ingredients such as red pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, radish, leek, onion, carrot, sugar, sesame and MSG were used as basic components for making kimchi. In particular, MSG was used as a basic ingredient regardless of region and age. However, a standard taste for making kimchi was depended on housewife in this study.

The Microbiological, chemical and sensory analyses were carried to evaluate the quality of commercial salted and fermented seafoods and to establish a standardization. The results showed that amino nitrogen(AN) and volatile basic nitrogen(VBN) contents were appropriate in evaluating the quality of shrimp jeotkal. In the range of $150{\sim}300\;mg%\;and\;25{\sim}70\;mg%$, AN and VBN contents were highly correlated to sensory scores, respectively. In the case of squid jeotkal, pH and VBN contents were appropriate to evaluate quality. The coefficients of the correlation between pH and sensory evaluation was 0.84 and the sensory acceptability was high and above pH 6.0. In addition, the coefficients of the correlation between VBN contents and sensory evaluation was 0.95, and the sensory acceptability was high but below 30 mg%. In the case of shell-fish jeotkal, the coefficient of the correlation between VBN content and sensory evaluation was 0.94, and sensory acceptability was high but below 40 mg%.

Among thirteen strains of the genus Bacillus isolated from Shrimp-jeotkal in our laboratory, a strain BA34 showing good antifungal activity against Phytophthora infestans in a previous experiment was tested for the inhibitory effect against Akt, protein kinase B. Since Akt is known to play an important role in controlling apoptosis, its inhibitors can be used as potential apoptosis-inducing agents in the treatment of cancer. Two active compounds were isolated and their structures were determined. They have similar structures, despite showing different inhibitory effects. In order to elucidate the reasons for these different effects, three-dimensional studies were carried out.

식품첨가제의 사용없이 저장성과 품질이 우수한 저염의 새우젓을 rokf하기 이한 바업으로 방사선 조사기술을 이용하였다. 식염농도를 각각 10%, 15%, 20%로 조절한 새우젓에 감마선을 조사한 후 15$^{\circ}C$에서 발효시키면서 일반성분, 염함량, 수분활성도, pH, 총균수 및 관능적 품질 변화를 조사하였다. 감마선 조사직후 및 발효기간 중 일반성분과 식염함량 및 수분활성은 감마선 조사에 의해 영향을 받지 않았다. 새우젓의 총균수와 pH는 식염농도와 감마선 조사선량이 높을수록 변화가 적었다. 관능검사 결과, 15%의 식염 첨가와 10 kGy의 감마선 조사 및 20%의 식염첨가와 5 kGy 이상의 감마선 조사를 병용처리한 새우젓을 발효시킨 경우 비조사구에 비해 적절한 미생물의 생육 억제로 저장기간 연장 효과를 보였고, 발효 10주까지도 관능적 품질이 적합하게 유지되었다.

This study was attempted to investigate preference characteristics affecting for winter kimchi. Questionnaire were collected by 646 nationwide households during 3 months from December 2000 in Korea, and the data were analyzed by SPSS program. The results were as follows: (1) Seven minor ingredients including red pepper, garlic, ginger, green onion, paste (e.g. glutinous rice, rice and/or wheat flour paste), sugar and sesame were user in high preference for making winter kimchi in that odor. Seafoods (oyster, shrimp, Alaska pollack, yellow corvenia, squid and hairtail) were also utilized for making winter kimchi related with regional characteristics. (2) Two jeotkals, anchovy and anchovy juice, were popular ingredients for winter kimchi in southern region, while shrimp jeotkal in middle region including Seoul, Chungnam, Chungbuk, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju and Jeju northern sand lance juice jeotkal in western region, respectively. (3) Two kimchi, green onion and leek kimchi were high favored by people in spring regardless of region, and baby radish kimchi and cucumber kimchi in summer, pony-tail kimchi and gutjuli (fresh kimchi) in autumn, respectively. Except for winter cabbage kimchi, however, dongchimi and godulbaegi (Korean lettuce kimchi) were high favorite kimchi in winter. It was estimated that Koreans consume about 80 g of kimchi per person per day.

Proteolytic bacteria isolated from fermented anchovy jeotkal were immobilized in capsule type with $0.8\%$ sodium alginate and $CaCl_2/carboxymethyl$ cellulose (CMC). For making the immobilized capsule, the optimal concentration of both $CaCl_2$ and CMC, with respect to the membrane hardness and the growth of proteolytic bacteria in capsule, were $2.0\%$ at following conditions: flow rate of $CaCl_2/CMC$ solution and cell suspension were respectively 3.54 ml/min and 0.15 ml/min when inside diameter of inner and outer capillary tube in immobilizing apparatus were 0.32mm, 0.74mm, respectively. The density of proteolytic bacteria in capsule reached maximum, i.e. $10^8-10^9cells$/capsule during culture under optimal conditions in TPY broth, and these were $10^2-10^4$ times higher than these of before culture. During culture of proteolytic bacteria immobilized in capsule type (PBImC) for 72hrs, few growing cells were lost in the outer medium.

Strain NK181 was isolated for probiotic use from jeotkal and based on results of API 50 CHL kit and 16S rDNA sequencing was tentatively named Lactobacillus plantarum NK181. L. plantarum NK181 was highly resistant to artificial gastric juice (pH 2.5) and bile acid and demonstrated strong adherence to Caco-2 cells. In test using API ZYM kit, eight enzymes were produced. Supernatant of L. plantarum NK181 exhibited about 30% 1,1-diphenyl-2-picyryl hedrazyl (DPPH) radical-scavenging activity and reduced cholesterol by 70%. These results demonstrate potential use of L. plantarum NK181 as health-promoting probiotic.

Salt-fermented fish and fish sauce are very important materials to make Kimchi. They provide good taste and plenty of nutrition to Kimchi during fermentation. However, it is difficult to purchase Korean salt-fermented fish or fish sauce out of Korea. Therefore, to generalize Kimchi for other countries, this research carefully compared the quality differences between Kimchi made with South East Asian fish sauce, which is fairly similar to traditional Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract (Aekjeot) in terms of taste and ingredients, and that made with traditional Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract. To determine quality differences among traditional Korean Kimchies made with different sauces, Korean-made salt-fermented shrimp, salt-fermented shrimp extract, salt-fermented anchovy and salt-fermented anchovy extract were used. Of the four Kimchis, the one made with salt-fermented anchovy extract was chosen as a control sample and compared with those made with three different South-East Asian fish sauces. In the sensory evaluation for acceptance of fish sauces, characteristics of taste, texture and overall acceptance showed significant differences. In the sensory evaluation for differences, characteristics of fish odor and crunchiness showed visible differences. For umami taste, all fish sauces received higher points than Korean salt-fermented anchovy extract (control sample), although the difference was not significant. Sensory evaluation and research results show that Kimchi can become a highly likable food overseas and Kimchi can substitute easily bought South-East Asian fish sauces for Korean salt-fermented fish sauces (Jeotkal).
