To develop the rapid processing of northern sand lance sauce by thermoase, the rapid fermentation conditions and quality of fermented sauce were investigated gated The recommendable condition of rapid fermentation were determined as follows: thermoase concentration, fermentation time and fermentation temperature were $0.2\%$, 9hr and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The northern sand lance sauce fermented rapidly showed light brown color. The sweet amino acids were higher in the rapid fermented-sauce than commercal fermented sauce although the content of total nitrogen, amino nitrogen and total amino acids were low in it. Hereafter we suppose that the rapid fermented sauce by thermoase will be wide usable because it can use the salted northern sand lance in short time.

As a part of investigation to use sardine(Sardinops melanoslicta) more effectively as a food source, this study was undertaken the processing condition of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction of sardine. To prepare rapid fermented products, the chopped whole sardine was added 8% NaCl and then preheating treatment at $40^{\circ}C,\;45^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ in the manufactured fermenter(180L) for 9 hrs, and then fermentation at $33^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. The chemical changes such as amino nitrogen(amino-N), volatile basic nitrogen(VBN), and histamine in the hydrolysates of fermented sardine were analyzed as well as viable cell count and organoleptic evaluation during fermentation to compare the quality between control and preheating samples. During fermenting, the amino-N in the hydrolysates increased rapidly during the first 30 days and slowly thereafter. The highest content of amino-N appeared at 75 days in control sample and $60{\sim}75$ days in preheating samples. The changes of VBN in the hydrolysates increased rapidly during first 15 days in control samples and 30 days in preheating samples. However they were generally low level in preheating samples. Histamine content in the hydrolysates of the control samples increased markedly after 15 days, but preheating samples were generally low level, and then $75{\sim}90$ days of fermentation reached to the maximum which was about $2.0{\sim}3.0$ times lower than that of control samples. As for the organoleptic flavor evaluation, the control and preheating at $40^{\circ}C$ samples were unpleasant odor after 15 and 60 days, respectively. But preheating at $45^{\circ}\;and\;50^{\circ}$ samples were fresh odor after 90 days fermentation.

In order to improve functionality of kochujang which is one of the traditional foods in Korea, sea tangle powder(2, 4, 6 and 8% sea tangle powder on the glutinous rice weight basis) was added to the raw material of kochujang and then investigated the bacterial counts and enzyme activities with control kochujang during the fermentation at 3$0^{\circ}C$ for 120 days. Bacterial count was about 10$^4$ cfu/g at initial stage of fermentation and then maintained 10$^{8}$ cfu/g after 60 days of fermentation. $\alpha$-amylase activity was gradually reduced during fermentation periods, so the activity was lost almost at late of fermentation $\beta$-amylase activity was rapid increased until 30 days of fermentation and the rapid decreased at 60 days of fermentation and after 90 days was slightly decreased. Activities of acidic protease and neutral protease were increased until 30 days of fermentation and then these were shown irregularities decreased.

This study was attempt to improve the quality of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction of sardine (Sardinops melanoslicta). Effect of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding on fermented liquefaction of chopped whole sardine were investigated. The divisions of the experimental samples by pretreatment methods were as follows; Sample A (water adding and heating): chopped whole sardine adding 20% water and then adding 3 and 5% NaCl consecutively at the intervals of 3 and 6 hrs during heating for 9 hrs at $50^{\circ}C$ and then fermented at $33^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. Sample B (preheating): chopped whole sardine with 8% NaCl and heating at $50^{\circ}C$ for 9 hrs and then fermented at $33^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. Sample C (control): neither pretreatment methods of water adding nor preheating on chopped whole sardine with 13% NaCl and then fermented at $33^{\circ}C$ for 90 days. Comparison of the appropriate fermentation period, yield of hydrolysate, chemical composition of fermented liquefied products were carried out. The highest content of amino nitrogen appeared at 60 days in the sample A, 75 days in the sample B, and 90 days in the sample C during the fermentation period. The appropriate fermentation period of the sample A was shorten 15 days than the sample B and 30 days than the sample C in the processing of sardine. The product A was lower NaCl (8.5%) and lower histamine content (25mg/100g) than the sample B and C. Possibly, three kinds of pretreatment methods such as water adding, heating, and intermittent NaCl adding, might be recommend as the processing of rapid- and low salt-fermented liquefaction product of chopped whole sardine.

Addition of sugar, enzymatic hydrolysis and salt concentration were evaluated for their effects on the changes in some characteristics of Kimchi juice during fermentation. The Kimchi juice was prepared by brining and grinding of outer layer leaves of chinese cabbage, one of the wastes products of Kimchi processing, followed by fermentation proceeded significantly faster. Addition of sucrose or glucose at the ange of 0.5~2.0 % also improved the fermentation but the concentration effect was little. Enzymatic hydrolysis on the brined cabbage prior to fermentation with a commercial polysaccharides hydrolases also increased the fermentation. However the solid concentration in Kimchi juice was rather decreased by higher concentration of NaCl and enzymatic hydrolysis. The reducing sugar content showed a rapid decrease from 24 hours of fermentation and the effect of enzymatic hydrolysis was little.

We evaluated the possibility of rapid fermentation of anchovy sauce using a commercial protease. The fermentation characteristics were monitored by response surface analysis. The content of total nitrogen was high (around 1 %) with fermentation at 51.7～57.5$^{\circ}C$ after 10.2～16.4 hours, but rapidly decreased at higher temperatures (6$0^{\circ}C$ or over), while the $R^2$ of polynomial equation was 0.9185 (p<0.05). The amino acid content rapidly decreased to approximately 600 mg% and less at high temperature (6$0^{\circ}C$ and over), and the $R^2$ was 0.9578 (p<0.01). The free amino acids were affected more by fermentation time when fermentation temperature was lower, and the $R^2$ for total free amino acids was 0.8496 (p<0.10). The $R^2$ for sweet free amino acids was 0.9144 (p<0.05). According to the results of this study, the optimal conditions for anchovy sauce fermentation were predicted to be 52.5～56.9$^{\circ}C$ and 13.3～16.4 hours, and the predicted values and actual values of each response variable were similar to each other when the fermentation was performed at a random point within the optimal range. Also, the comparison of the quality between the quick anchovy sauce and sauces currently on the market showed that the content of sweet amino acids was higher in the former than in the latter.

The effective fermentation methods of Kimchi juice for utilization of outer layer of Chinese cabbage, an waste of Kimchi industry were studied. The Kimchi juice prepared with brining and grinding the waste of Chinese cabbage and addition of spices was fermented at $25^{\circ}C$. Addition of 5$^{\circ}C$15% fermented Kimchi juice of pH 5.4 at initial stage and pH 4.4 at middle state resulted in a significant increase in fermentation rate and solid content after 12 hours of fermentation. The combined method of enzymatic hydrolysis(0.1% viscozyme) of the brined and ground cabbage and addition of 2.0% NaCl, 1.0% sucrose and 10% fermented juice of pH 5.4 first and 4.4 during fermentation, respectively resulted in more rapid fermentation. The solid concentration was 5 times higher than control at maximum point and acidic and total flavor intensity were also significantly high.

Three kinds of grape yakju (Kyoho, Campbell and Moru) and grape-free control were fermented with rice using koji of Aspergillus kawachii as a fermenting agent, and their fermentation characteristics were investigated. For the three yakju, reducing sugar content decreased slowly over 2 days fermentation after an initial rapid decrease. In case of Brix, the reducing sugar content increased gradually after increasing rapidly during the first 2 days of fermentation. The Kyoho and Moru groups displayed a gradual increase in reducing sugar content after an initial 2-day decrease, and the sugar content of the Campbell group increased gradually during fermentation. Uniformly, pH increased gradually after an initial 2-day decrease, however total acid increased continuously throughout fermentation. Alcohol content of yakju showed almost no change after increasing until day 6 (Kyoho) of day 4 (others), with the control displaying the highest content. Control $\alpha$-amylase activity decreased gradually after an initial 2-day increase, while that of the three yakju decreased throughout fermentation. Activities of $\beta$-amylase activities paralleled the results of reducing sugar. Concerning total anthocyanin, the Moru and Campbell groups displayed a rapid increase until day 2, a decrease until day 12, and a gradual increase thereafter. While the Kyoho and control groups displayed virtually no change after an initial 2-day increase until day 12, after which a gradual increase also occurred. In concerning sensory evaluation, Moru yakju scored highest for violetness, flavor of grape, and sweet taste, and also displayed a low alcohol content. These attributed Moru yakju the preferred choice.
