In this study, the possible changes in the quality characteristics of pastirma, Turkish-type dry-cured meat product, produced by using two different salts (NaCl-KCl) in a curing mixture and two different production techniques (natural and controlled condition) were examined. Moisture, pH, salt, sodium, potassium, TBA, fat, water activity, instrumental colour, texture, and sensory analyses were implemented in order to determine the possible effects of these applications. Fat, aw, pH, colour, tiobarbituric acid (TBA), texture, salt, Na and K values may allow these desired modifications in pastirma production to be limited. The substitution of 15% KCl instead of NaCl was acceptable in terms of the sensorial properties of the pastirma. However, the sensory analyses did not allow for using a higher KCl instead of NaCl because both the hardness and chewiness in the texture of the pastirma samples salted with 30% of KCl were not scored positively. Besides this, negative effects, which may occur during the pastirma production under natural conditions, can be eliminated by the production being under controlled conditions.

The objective of this study was to examine the effect of hot-boning and soy sauce as a curing agent on the processing properties of beef jerky. Beef jerky was prepared under the following four treatment conditions; Beef jerky with cold-boned beef and salt solution, beef jerky with cold-boned beef and soy sauce solution, beef jerky with hot-boned beef and salt solution, and beef jerky with hot-boned beef and soy sauce solution. Cured meat and jerky containing hot-boned beef had a significantly higher pH, water holding capacity (WHC), moisture content, Myofibrillar fragmentation index (MFI), processing yields, tenderness, and sensorial scores than samples containing cold-boned beef (p<0.05). Regardless of the raw materials, the jerky containing soy sauce had a significantly lower pH, WHC, moisture content, salt content, TBA, CIE $L^*$ and $b^*-$ values, and significantly higher MFI, mechanical tenderness, and sensorial scores (p<0.05). Based on these findings, we concluded that the use of hot-boned meat and soy sauce was the most effective boning method and curing agent during beef jerky processing.

To use the by-products of whelk processing, whelk internal organ with the addition of bromelain were used to make jeotgal, Korean traditional salted and fermented seafood sauce. The products were prepared at different salt concentrations of 10, 15 and 20% with various bromelain contents 0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.5%. The samples were stored at $10^{\circ}C$ and the chemical and microbiological analyses were evaluated for four weeks. The initial pH (near 6.1) in all conditions decreased in the beginning stage of aging, then gradually increased until three weeks and finally decreased to $5.6{\sim}6.0$. The sample with lower salt concentration showed less pH change For two weeks. The samples treated with higher bromelain in 10% and 15% salt concentration showed higher pH values after 4 weeks compared to the nontreated control. Amino nitrogen in the samples increased at lower salt concentration and at higher bromelain content. The amino nitrogen showed maximum value, 780 mg%, at 10% salt and 0.5% bromelain treatment. Total nitrogen contents increased with aging periods, especially increased rapidly in high concentrations of bromelain treated samples at early stages of aging. The higher salt concentrations in the product decreased the total microbial number and lactic acid bacterial number.

Lactobacilli proliferating in fermented sausages of the specific ripening conditions were isolated from fermented sausages, manufactured in the absence of an added starter, during ripening under controlled temperature-humidity conditions. Based on morphological, physiological and bio- chemical characteristics and carbohydrate fermentation of isolated strains, three strains of isolates were identified as Lactobacillus curvatus, two strains as Lactobacillus sake. Optimal temperature and pH for growth of isolated strains were 30$\circ$C and pH 6.0~7.0, respectively. These strains were salt tolerant, multiplying in the presense of 6~8% NaCl.

Changes of physicochemical properties during the preparation of persimmon pickles and its optimal preparing conditions including salt concentration, soaking temperature, soaking time, amount of fermented soy paste, and ripeness of fresh pesimmon were investigated. The salinity and pH of soaking solution were rapidly dropped during 40 days of soaking, while their changes were negligible after 40 days of soaking. When the fermented soy paste was added to the soaking solution with $10{\sim}40%$ the pH dropped more slowly. Salt content in persimmon pickles was gradually increased during soaking and soluble tannin content was rapidly decreased during the first 10 days of soaking. L value of persimmon pickles was gradually decreased, but a/b value was slightly increased. The hardness of persimmon pickles was slightly increased up to the 20th day of soaking and then decreased. Most acceptable persimmon pickles were prepared when the less ripened fresh persimmons were soaked in 10% salt solution at $15^{\circ}C$ for 40 days, and the suitable amount of soy paste added to the soaking solution for preparing persimmon pickles was 20%.

Anchovy homogenates with or without salt were autolyzed at various pH and temperature conditions. In the initial hydrolysis during 20 hours, the highest autolysis of anchovy homogenate was achieved at pH 4 and $50^{\circ}C$. However, the addition of 20% salt changed the optimum condition to pH 6 and $50^{\circ}C$. When the digestion time was prolonged to 8 days, the most favorable temperature for the autolysis of salted anchovy was lowered to $40^{\circ}C$ compared with $50^{\circ}C$ of initial hydrolysis while the optimum pH was unchanged. Under the best conditions described above, 60.5% of anchovy nitrogen was converted to TCA-soluble nitrogen in 20 hr-incubation without salting, but it was reduced to 49.8% with salting. In the 8 days hydrolysis of salted anchovy, as much as 83.1% of total nitrogen was transformed into TCA-soluble nitrogen. Slight increase in the degree of hydrolysis up to 89.6% was occurred during subsequent ripening period of 52 days at ambient temperature.

In this study, the effect of sodium chloride (salt) concentration and phosphate on the quality properties of samgyetang was investigated. Increasing the salt concentration by 0.5% increased the moisture and ash content, salinity, water holding capacity (WHC), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), whereas the protein content, pH, cooking losses, and shear forces were decreased. Addition of phosphate to the brine increased the pH and WHC, but decreased the TBARS, cooking losses, and shear forces. In a sensory evaluation, the scores for flavor and overall acceptability were the highest when the salt concentration of the brine was 2.0%. Overall, this study shows that the salt concentration and addition of phosphate to the brine of samgyetang substantially influences the overall quality of the chicken breast. Based on quality measurements and sensory scores, a 2.0% salt concentration with the addition of phosphate appear to be the most suitable conditions for the manufacturing of marinated samgyetang.

Various salt concentrations (1.0%, 1.3%, 1.6%, 1.9%, and 2.1% labeled as sample A, B, C, D, and E, respectively) were investigated for microbial diversity, identification of Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) in salted kimchi cabbage, prepared under laboratory conditions. These samples were stored at 4°C for 5 weeks in proper aluminum-metalized pouch packaging with calcium hydroxide gas absorber. A culture-independent method known as polymerase chain reaction - denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis was carried out to identify LAB distributions among various salt concentration samples that had identified 2 Weissella (W. confusa and W. soli), 1 Lactobacillus (Lb. sakei), and 3 Leuconostoc (Lc. mesenteroides, Lc. lactis, and Lc. gelidum) in the overall kimchi samples. The pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, and coliform counts were not affected by salt variations. In order to assess sensory acceptance, the conducted sensory evaluation using a 9-point hedonic scale had revealed that samples with 1.3% salt concentration (lower than the manufacturer's regular salt concentration) was more preferred, indicating that the use of 1.3% salt concentration was acceptable in normal kimchi fermentation for its quality and safety. Despite similarities in pH, titratable acidity, viable cell counts, coliform counts, and LAB distributions among the various salt concentrations of kimchi samples, the sample with 1.3% salt concentration was shown to be the most preferred, indicating that this salt concentration was suitable in kimchi production in order to reduce salt intake through kimchi consumptions.

As a method of utilization of sardine, sardinops melanosticta, proper processing conditions for a low salt fermented sardine were investigated. And changes of chemical components during fermentation and the effects of additives to improve the quality of the product were also discussed. A low salt fermented sardine was prepared with 8 or $10\%$ of salt and various contents of additives such as lactic acid, sorbitol, glycerin and ethanol as preservatives and flavor enhancers, and fermented for 80 days at $29\pm3^{\circ}C$. Judging from the changes in pH, amino-nitrogen and volatile basic nitrogen during fermentation of low salted sardine and the organoleptic evaluation on their flavor, the products of sardine meat containing 8 or $10\%$ of table salt, $0.5\%$ of lactic acid, $6\%$ of sorbitol and $6\%$ of ethanol as additives were most desirable when fermented for 60 days.
