Low-salted and fermented squid product, squid jeotkal was prepared with the addition of 10% salt and fermented for 50 day at 1$0^{\circ}C$. During fementation of squid, sensory evaluation and changes of volatile components were examined. Volatile flavor components in raw squid and low-salted squid jeotkal were extracted using a rotary evaporating system. The volatile concentrates were identified by GC and GC-MS. Major volatile components of raw squid were methional and 2-methyl-2-propanol. However, alcohols such as propanol, isoamyl alcohol, methionol and phenylethyl alcohol increased during the period of fermentation. The model reaction using microorganism was carried out, in order to confirm formation mechanism ofvolatile flavor compounds of the squid during fermentation. The main volatile components of Pseudomonas sp. D2 model system were isoamyl alcohol and acetoin. Those of Staphylococcus xylosus model system were isoamyl alcohol and phenylacetaldehyde.

Nitrite scavenging activity of Kimchi added with salted-fermented fish products(SFFP), such as low salt-fermented anchovy sauce(LSFAS), salted-fermented anchovy sauce(SFAS), salted-fermented anchovy(SFA), salted-fermented small shrimp(SFS), low salt-fermented sandlance sauce(LSFSS) and their alternatives, such as oyster hydrolysate(OH), Alaska pollack hydrolysate(APH) and Sea-staghorn extract(SSE) were studied during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C\;and\;4^{\circ}C$. Nitrite contents of Kimchi samples added with SFFP were roughly decreased except Kimchi added with SFS and SFAS, which increased at the 2nd day of fermentation. Fermentation of Kimchi at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;10^{\circ}C$ resulted a decrease in nitrite(<5 ppm). Nitrite contents of Kimchi samples added with SFFP alternatives rapidly decreased in the initial fermentation and then kept a low level (<2 ppm). Nitrite scavenging effects of Kimchi samples added with SFFP and their alternatives were steady during fermentation, showing a little variation in samples added with SFFP. Samples added with LSFAS and OH showed higher nitrite scavenging effects(90%) than others$(70{\sim}80%)$.

Low-salted Kochuzang was made by the replacement of a part of NaCl with 4% ethanol as the preservative. Comparative analysis were performed for general components in 7 kinds of low-salted Kochuzang. The activities of ${\alpha}-and{\beta}-amylase$ and protease were high in ripened Kochuzang of low salt concentration in case of addition of alcohol. The changes of total sugar and pH were remarkably decreased when alcohol and salt were added. Total acid contents showed a remarkable increase when alcohol was not added, and in case of salt concentration. Total nitrogen contents were not remarkably changed, but the contents of amino nitrogen and ammonia nitrogen were increased in case of low salt conuntration with alcohol. Reducing sugar contents were increased in case of low salt concentration and alcohol added. Alcohol contents were not remarkably changed in case of addition of alcohol, but when alcohol was not added and low salt concentration they showed a remarkable increase(about 2.2%). A good Kochuzang may be produced by adding 4% alcohol to a low salted one (5.1% content in Kochuzang) in seventy days of the fermentation.

There exist two interesting phenomena in making seafood products from surimi. When salted surimi is kept at a constant low temperature $(4\~40^{\circ}C)$, its rheological properties change from sol to gel, which is called 'setting'. Seafood processors can exploit changes that occur during setting in preparation of surimibased products, because heating at high temperatures, after the pre-heating during the setting process, enhances the gel-strength of salted surimi. Contrarily, when salted surimi or low-temperature set gel is heated at moderate temperatures $(50\~70^{\circ}C)$, a deterioration of gel is observed. The phenomenon is termed 'modori'. In the modori temperature range, heat-stable cysteine proteinases such as cathepsin B, H, Land L-Iike hydrolyze the myosins responsible for gel-formation, resulting in gel weakening modori. This article reviews molecular events occurring during gel setting that improve the quality of surimi-based products, and inhibition of modori by applying proteinase inhibitors. Application of recombinant protein technology to surimi-based products is introduced and its prospects for practical use are discussed.

This survey was carried out to investigate the usage of traditional fermented foods. Questionaries were answered by 283 female adults ranging from 20 to 60 ages in Daegu city and Kyungbuk province. 39.72% of total subjects answered that they made Meju and soybean paste by themselves. There were significant differences according to income, residential area, deucation level, and family size, In the results of the preference and consumption study on traditional soybean pastes, Kimchi and salted sea foods, preference of salted sea foods was the highest, whereas the consumption of salted sea foods was the lowest. The recognition of soybean pastes and traditional foods was remarkably low. However the consumption frequency of traditional fermented foods and the recognition of soybean pastes and traditional foods were significantly increased with age.

The antibacterial activity from Tricholoma matsutake extracts were confirmed by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test against various bacteria. Tricholoma matsutake extracts was applied for manufacturing low salted Jeot-gal with sodium DL-malate and sodium nitrite as food preservatives. Due to antibacterial activity from Tricholoma matsutake extracts, MIC of sodium DL-malate and sodium nitrite were significantly reduced to 0.025 g/L and 0.25 g/L, respectively. As a result of this study, a premium low salted Jeot-gal can be developed with low concentration of food preservatives by adding Tricholoma matsutake extracts.

Angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) inhibitory activity of Kimchi added with salted-fermented fish products(SFFP), such as salted-fermented anchovy(SFA), salted-fermented anchovy sauce(SFAS), low salt-fermented anchovy sauce(LSFAS), salted-fermented small shrimp(SFS), low salt-fermented sandlance sauce(LSFSS) and their alternatives, such as oyster hydrolysate(OH), Alaska pollack hydrolysate(APH) and sea-staghorn extract(SSE) were studied during fermentation at $20^{\circ}C,\;10^{\circ}C\;and\;4^{\circ}C$. ACE inhibitory activities of Kimchi samples added with SFFP were increased until some fermentation period and then kept similarly constant levels at every fermentation temperature. Similar tendencies were occurred in amino nitrogen (AN) content. ACE inhibitory activities of Kimchi samples added with SFFP alternatives rapidly increased in 1st or 2nd day fermentation and then very slowly increased but AN contents showed roughly constant levels $(400{\sim}600\;mg/100\;g)$ in every fermentation temperature. Kimchi added with LSFAS had higher ACE inhibitory activity (>80%) with elevated level of AN (>600 mg/100 g) among the tested Kimchi samples. Kimchi samples added with SFFP alternatives also showed comparable activity to Kimchi added with SFFP This study shows that Kimchi added with SFFP and their alternatives is a good source as a functional food.

For the improvement of Gulbi processing, yellow corvenia was salted by 2 different time (5 hours, low salted and 5 days, high salted) and then dried in the sun and stored for 5 and 21 days, respectively. Malonaldehyde contents and fatty acid composition were analyzed during Gulbi processing. The moisture contents of yellow corvenia were significantly decreased during processing procedure. The salt contents were 10 folds higher in 5 day-salted sample than in 5 hour-salted one. The salt contents showed reversed tendency to moisture contents. There was little change in pH during storage. The contents of malonaldehyde in yellow corvenia were increased during Gulbi processing and storage. Its contents were higher in 5 day-salted sample and exterior parts than 5 hour-salted sample and interior parts of Gulbi. The fatty acids composition showed higher oleic acid $(C_{18:1})$, palmitic acid $(C_{16:0})$ and docosahexaenoic acid $(C_{22:6})$ than any other fatty acids in Gulbi. Saturated fatty acids were increased but unsaturated fatty acids were decreased during Gulbi processing. After 21 days storage, unsaturated fatty acids remaining ratio in 5 hour-and 5 day-salted sample were 1.39 and 0.99 respectively. The contents of unsaturated fatty acids were dramatically changed as salt concentration increased during storage than in processing.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to analyze daily kimchi, vegetable and fruit consumption by general characteristics and vegetable and fruit consumption from 1998 to 2012 by the Korean population based on the data of the KNHANES (Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey). SUBJECTS/METHODS: This study is based on the 1998-2012 KNHNES. Analysis data on 54,700 subjects aged 19 years and older were obtained from health behavior interviews and the 24-hour dietary recall method. RESULTS: Daily kimchi consumption and portion size of kimchi decreased significantly from 1998 to 2012 (adjusted P for trend < 0.0001). Meanwhile, daily consumption of both non-salted vegetable and fruit with and without kimchi did not significantly change between 1998 and 2012. Reduced consumption of kimchi, non-salted vegetable, and fruit was observed for both genders as well as daily meal episodes and cooking locations. Male and female subjects with insufficient non-salted vegetable and fruit intake were increased 1.4 times and 1.3 times, respectively, in 2012 than 1998. All subjects consumed at least 400 g/day of non-salted vegetable, fruit, and kimchi in each survey year, although they consumed insufficient amounts (< 400 g/day) of non-salted vegetable and fruit without kimchi. CONCLUSIONS: Since Koreans generally consume high amounts of fermented vegetables, including kimchi, total vegetables and fruit. Consumption of these foods by the Korean adult population reached 400 g, which is the recommended intake of the WCRF/AICR. Based on this result, it is necessary to promote consumption of kimchi in the Korean population and research the development of low sodium kimchi in the future.

To evaluate the possibility of low-salinity of traditional fermented food, we investigated quality characteristic of low-salted Yacon Jangachi using soybean sauce with sugar or vinegar for 50 days. Sugar content, titration acidity, and salinity of all Yacon Jangachi was increased as storage time increased. All of the Yacon Jangachi had less than 3.0% salinity. Especially, the salinity of the Yacon Jangachi with sugar and vinegar was the lowest during storage time. The L value was decreased as storage time increased but the results of the a and b values were reversed. Cutting force was not significant among samples and storage periods. In the results of sensory evaluation, preference of all samples were increased as storage time increased. The preference of color was not significant among samples from 30 days but the taste was reversed. The preference of flavor was significant between samples in 40 days, texture was not significant during storage time. Overall preference was not significant after 30 days, which suggested that Yacon Jangachi using soybean sauce retains overall preference in steady level from 30 days. Yacon Jangachi using soybean sauce showed the highest preference when produced with sugar and vinegar.
