This study was performed to observe the cytotoxic effect of the various salted fish extracts against cancer cell line, human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) using MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) method. Urechis unicinctus was the strongest cytotoxic effects among any other traditional salted fish products. The growth inhibition ratio of Urechis unicinctus hot-water extracts was 94.5% at the concentration of 1000$\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$. On the other hand, in case of salted fish methanol extracts, salt-fermented shad gizzard was showed the strongest cytotoxic effects. The growth inhibition ratio of salt-fermented shad gizzard methanol extracts was investigated 90% at the concentration of 1000$\mu\textrm{g}$/.$m\ell$.

Quality of commercial salted and fermented fish sauce was evaluated through physicochemical and sensory analyses. Moisture contents of all samples tested except one salted and fermented sandlance sauce were acceptable. Salinity of some samples was higher than that of Korean food standard. Higher contents of total nitrogen (TN) and amino nitrogen (AN) resulted in higher levels of specific gravity, pure extract and solid of some samples. Two salted and fermented anchovy and three salted and fermented sandlance sauce samples showed lower levels of TN and AN than those of Korean food standards. TN, AN, specific gravity, pure extract, solid, and volatile basic nitrogen levels highly correlated with sensory scores, indicating that these values could be used as quality parameters to evaluate salted and fermented fish sauce quality.

The sucrose, MSG, fresh oyster and salted-fermented anchovy and shirmp were added into Kimchi in the concentration range of $1{\sim}3%$ and studied for their effects on the changes in chemicl properties and fermentation rate. The control Kimchi was prepared with addition of 2% red pepper, garlic, Welsh onion and 1% ginger. It was found that the fermentation rate was increased as the concentration of all of ingradients tested increased. Among them M.S.G affected most significantly. However, ascorbic acid formed was reduced for those Kimchi added with salted-fermented anchovy and shrimp while the changes in pH and titrable acidity was affected a little.

Salted anchovy, generally favored in Europe, is one of the traditional fermented fish products in southern European countries and raw anchovy are aged in 20∼30％ NaCl solution for 6 months (Ishida et al., 1994). They are then steeped in oil in glass jar or can, and marketed. The salt-fermented fish sauce, such as anchovy sauce and shrimp sauce are tropical fermented seafood from fish in Korea. (omitted)

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$(70{\sim}80%)$.

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.

This study investigated the quality of seven commercial salted and fermented sand lance Ammodytes personatus sauces by measuring their chemical compositions, bacteria concentrations, and biogenic amine contents. The sauces had a 63.97-67.32% (mean: 65.72%) moisture content, 23.16-24.03% (mean: 23.60%) salinity, 5.51-6.14 (mean: 5.81) pH, 164.76-217.98 mg/100 g (mean: 182.97 mg/100 g) volatile basic nitrogen, 0.94-1.42% (mean: 1.24%) total nitrogen, and 673.77-791.86 mg/100 g (mean: 720.76 mg/100 g) amino nitrogen content. Viable cell counts ranged from $1.2{\times}10^1$ to $2.9{\times}10^2CFU/mL$, and number of biogenic amine-forming bacteria was very low or not detected. Overall, the tested samples had average levels of histamine of 301.02 mg/kg, cadaverine of 29.78 mg/kg, tyramine of 199.21 mg/kg, putrescine of 183.00 mg/kg, and tyramine of 13.01 mg/kg. This strongly suggests that it is necessary to monitor the biogenic amine contents of commercial salted and fermented sand lance sauces carefully to ensure consumer health.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the availability of salted and fermented fish (SFF) including salted and fermented anchovy (SFA) and shrimp (SFS) as a marinade of beef jerky. In curing solutions, half (SFA 1 and SFS 1) or whole (SFA 2 and SFS 2) salt-water was replaced with SFF juices. Higher water activity ($a_w$) was found in the beef jerky cured with SFFs than the control (C) (p<0.05). The SFFs had the effect of causing a decrease in hardness and an increase in cohesiveness (p<0.05). Among the treatment samples, springiness was the highest in SFA2 and SFS2 (p<0.05) and the lowest values of Warner-Bratzler shear force were found in SFA1 and SFA2 (p<0.05). The SFFs also had the effect of increasing the flavor of the sensory properties; however, color measurements from both the instrumental surface color ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$, chroma, and hue angle) and color of sensory evaluation were decreased by addition of SFFs (p<0.05). Therefore, we conclude the SFFs can improve the texture and sensory properties of the beef jerky. In particular, the SFS is a good ingredient for the curing solution. However, studies are still needed on improving the $a_w$, pH, and surface color of the beef jerky to apply the SFFs for making beef jerky.

The objective of this study was to analyze bacteriological and chemical hazards in minimally processed commercial fish products, including Hwangtae (freeze-dried pollock), dried anchovy, fermented anchovy sauce, and salted and dried yellow croaker. Escherichia coli counts from all samples were below the regulation limits of the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety Standards on Quality of Seafood and Seafood Products (Food Code). However, the food poisoning bacterium Staphylococcus aureus was detected at levels above $1.0{\times}10^2$ colony forming units (CFU)/g in Hwangtae, dried anchovy, and salted and dried yellow croaker, which are commonly ingested without heating and pose bacteriological hazards. The detection of S. aureus, an organism indicative of poor personal hygiene, which can be introduced by employees and multiply during distribution, indicates the necessity of improving the sanitary control of minimally processed commercial fish products. Histamine was not detected from dried anchovy or salted and dried yellow croaker, but was detected at some of the highest levels in fermented anchovy sauces. This result suggests that efforts to reduce the amount of histamine in fermented anchovy sauces are required.

The difference between Kimchi, Japanese pickles, Korean Salted and fermented fish intestines and Japanese Salted and fermented fish intestines was investigated by comparising composition of inorganic cation in them. A high-performance liqid chromatography was used for the determination of Na, K, Ca and Mg in Kimchi, Japanese pickles and Salted and fermented fish intestines. The Kimchi samples analyzed were produced in the home, in the restaurant, in the nunnery and by food manufactures in Korea, and the pickles used were produced by food manufactures in Japan, and Salted and fermented fish intestines used were produced by food manufactures in Korea or Japan. The results obtained were summarized as following: (1) Sodium chloride in Kimchi was $1.8{\pm}0.37%$, $2.8{\pm}0.60%$ in Asazuke, Japanese picles which the fresh vegitables was seasoned with sodium chloride and seasoning, $1.8{\pm}0.32%$ in Japanese Kimchi, Japanese pickles which the fresh vegitables was seasoned with the mixture of sodium chloride, garlic powder, red peper's powder and seasoning, $5.3{\pm}0.66%$ in Shoyu Zuke, Japanese pickles which the salted vegetables was seasoned with sodium chloride and seasoning after desalting. (2) Na/K value in Kimchi was $1.7{\pm}0.17$ and $4.6{\pm}1.44$ in Asazuke, $2.6{\pm}0.85$ in Japanese Kimchi and $27.3{\pm}6.79$ in Shoyu zuke respectively. (3) Kimchi contained more K and Ca than Japanese pickles. (4) Kimchi remarkably contained the Ca originating to salted and fermented fish intestines. As the results of this study, it was presumed that while Kimchi and Japanese pickles is well known as a food that contributed to high blood pressure, Kimchi and Japanese Kimchi might not cause the high blood pressure because they have an excellent balance of Na/K value and low Na content. And also it was considered that these differences might be caused by the difference of th food taste between and Korean and Japanese people.
