The effects of Kwamaegi on serum lipid profiles and ROS(reactive oxygen spices) generating and scavenging enzyme activities were investigated in rats. The three experimental groups were divided as follows: normal control diet group (NC), 5% naturally prepared and freeze-dried Kwamaegi supplemented diet group (NPK) and 5% chitosan-ascorbate treated and artificially dried (CWDD: Chilly Wind & Dehumidification Drier) Kwamaegi supplemented diets group (CAK). There were no significant differences in weight gain, feed intake, feed efficiency ratio or organs weights per body weight including liver, kidney, heart and spleen among the group. In addition, there were no significant differences in serum triglyceride and total cholesterol contents. The HDL-cholesterol contents of the NC, CAK and NPK groups were 62.00, 36.48 and 78.44 mg/dL while LDL-cholesterol contents were 62.00, 36.48 and 78.44 mg/dL, respectively, which were significantly different. The atherogenic indeces in the experimental groups were 0.62, 1.20 and 0.13, respectively. There were no significant differences in total XOD (xanthine oxidoreductase) activities; however XOD type O activity was higher in the NPK group than un the NC group and in the CAK group XOD type O activity was 21~45% lower compared to NC and NPK groups. SOD (superoxide dismutase) activity was significantly higher in the CAK group than in the NC and NPK groups, while there were no significantly differences in GST (glutathione S-transferrase) activity among the groups. Furthermore, serum ALT activity was higher in the NPK group versus the NC and CAK groups. GSH (glutathione) content was higher and LPO (lipid peroxide) content lower in the CAK group compared to the NC and NPK groups. Forem the above results, we suggest that CA treated and artificially dried Kwamaegi is not only a hygienic product but also has lowering effects on LDL-cholesterol and the atherogenic index together with the lowering of ROS-generating and increasing of ROS-scavenging enzyme activities compared to other natural products.

New drying method was tested comparison with a traditional one used for production of Kwamaegi, semi dry pacific saury in east coast area of Kyungbuk province. During 15 days of total drying period, change in nucleotides and free amino acids were measured in edible portion of pacific saury from different dry methods, natural(traditional) and artificial method. ADP and AMP detected in raw fish were decrease while IMP, inosine, hypoxanthine increased during drying period. K1 values expressed as(Hx+HxR$\times$100/Hx+HxR+IMP) increased gradually throughout drying period, indicating the decline of freshness by drying. Freshness judged by change in nucleotides and related compounds was better in samples from artificial drying than from natural one. Special flavors of Kwamaegi were regarded to be synergistic actions of IMP and some amino acids. Content of total free amino acids of raw fish comprised 2.9g by weight(100g) and sum of glutamic acid, aspartic acid and histidine was over 34% of total amino acid content. Glutamic acid content. Glutamic acid, aspartic acid contents were reduced rapidly from 3rd to 9th day more decrease by artifical drying than by natural drying. Lysine content were gradually increased under two different drying conditions and threonine didn't change by two drying conditions.

We examined saury, herring, gizzard shad kwamaegi to measure of microbic contamination rate of kwamegi that are sold in the market now. In the total bacteria, staphylococcus, peroxide value, and microorganisms is inhibited that from sample that we treated a substance with chitosan-ascorbate (CA) and other orders deep water (DW), ginseng steamed red and wine (GRW), NT (not treated). When we compared between SGRW and SNT, SCA show us more inhibition effect 0.22-0.49 log cycle in the total aerobacter. When we compared between HDW and HNT, HCA restraint 0.05-0.45log cycle, and when we compared between GDW and GNT, GCA inhibited 0.45 log cycle. In the coliform and E. coli, growths of microorganisms were inhibited followed order by treatment of CA, NT, and DW. GDW, HCA and HNT checked enough amount of water from the moisture measurement; but SGW, GCA, HEW and SCA showed 7-15% lack of moisture, and SNT and GNT have 10% more moisture. Peroxide value is changed to 41-51meq/kg when we did treat CA in there and a side that didn't add antimicrobial expressed the result numerically that 56-58meq/kg. In the sensory evaluation, customer gave preference to followed by Saury kwamaegi, herring, and gizzard shad kwamaegi. We have a point of view when kwamaeki manufactured if we add natural antibiotic and it uses to vacuum drying, we would inhibited of multiplication of microorganism, and of peroxides.

The effects of kwamaegi (0, 6, 12 and 18%, all w/w) on the quality characteristics of Kimchi during fermentation at $10^{\circ}C$ were investigated. The mixtures are denoted KK. The late of decrease in pH during KK fermentation was lower than that of control. The number of total microbes (T) in Kimchi controls fermented for 14 days did not differ, and were in the range of $8.64{\sim}8.68\;log\;CFU/g$, whereas the numbers of lactic acid bacteria (L) in KK were higher than in controls. The L/T(%) was 78.41 in control, 85.76 in 6% KK and $93.68{\sim}94.25%$ in the 16% or 18% KK samples. The hardness of tissue ($2.98{\sim}3.66{\times}10^7\;dyne/cm^2$) in KK fermented for 14 days was higher than that of control ($2.67{\times}10^7\;dyne/cm^2$). The content of alcohol-insoluble substances in KK juice (1.281.08 g/100 g) was lower than that of control (1.45 g/100 g). In sensory evaluation, the appearance and texture of KK were better than those of control. Although some fishy flavor was noted in KK, this did not affect acceptability. Sourness was less, whereas ripened taste and overall acceptability were higher in KK (especially 12% KK) compared to control.

New drying method was tested for the Quality control for Kwamegl, dry Pacific saucy(Cololahis saira) In east coast area of Kyungbuk province, Korea. Cholesterol content of raw fish was 56% on dry basis, and decreased to 50.82 mg% rapidly the first 3 day and then, it was almost unchanged. However, the cholesterol content decreased slowly to 52.3 mg% during 15 days in new artificial drying.

The seven trace metals contents of agricultural products in Kwang-ju were investigated to provide the basic data for its residual limits. Ten kinds of agricultural products (onion, welsh onion, garlic, lettuce, cabbage, pepper, spinach, radish, pear, peach) collected within from Kwang-ju in 1999 were analyzed by Mercury Analyzer for mercury. Inductively Coupled Plasma spectrometer and Atomic Absorption spectrophotometer equipped with Vapor Generation Accessory for Cu, Cd, Mn, Pb, Zn and As. Hg contents were not detected in all samples and As content were detected N.D. ∼0.005 ppm. Cd and Pb contents were detected N.D ∼0.088 ppm and N.D.∼0.096 ppm, respectively, Cu, Mn and Zn contents were 0.109∼1.072 ppm. 0.829∼6.195 ppd and 0.731∼6.176 ppm, respectively. The trace metal concentrations of the agricultural products in Kwang-ju called clean area were within the background level which growth is facilitated.
