In the present study, we investigated the quality, sensory characteristics and commercialization potential of a rice collet snack made with the addition of dried shrimp. “Mild” and “spicy” snack products were produced with an edible oil coating and mixed seasoning powder coating, respectively. The approximate composition of the mild and spicy snacks, respectively, were 2.44% and 2.24% for moisture, 8.52% and 8.64% for crude protein, 18.36% and 26.54% for crude lipids, 1.28% and 1.38% for ash, 1.1% and 1.2% for salt, and 0.61 and 0.62 for pH. The L (lightness), a (redness), b (yellowness), and ⊿E (color difference) values were higher for the mild snack than the spicy snack. The mild and spicy snack had values of 7,776.4 and 7,655.8 mg/100 g for total amino acids, and 221.6 and 253.5 mg/100 g for total free amino acids, respectively. The TBA (thiobarbituric acid) value did not differ significantly between the two types of snack. The hardness value of the spicy snack was higher than that of the mild snack, but there were no significant differences in flavor between the two products. The sensory evaluation score of the spicy snack was slightly higher than that of the mild snack. Organoleptic inspection indicated that both snacks had a favorable, unique taste.

Several enzymes of kimchi ingredients were assayed to improve the product quality using these quality related enzyme information. Among various hydrolases, amylase and protease were selected with respect to lactic acid fermentation. Peroxidase and ascorbic acid oxidase were studied for off flavor production and ascorbic acid destruction. The amount of protein in kimchi ingredients, specific and total enzyme activity of sample were compared. Regarding total enzyme activity of sample, ${\alpha}-amylase$ activity of salted and fermented anchovy, dried red pepper and salted and fermented shrimp were higher than other ingredients. Activity of salted and fermented anchovy was 2,790.0 units/g sample. Salted and fermented anchovy, oyster and Chinese radish showed the highest ${\beta}-amylase$ activity (4.4, 2.1, 1.0 units/g sample, respectively). Salted and fermented anchovy showed the highest protease activity of 13.4 PU/g sample, followed by salted and fermented shrimp and dried red pepper. For peroxidase, Chinese radish, cucumber, green onion showed the highest activity of 7.2, 6.8 and 5.6 units/g sample, respectively. In case of ascorbic acid oxidase, salted and fermented anchovy showed the strongest enzyme activity (331.4 units/g sample), followed by dried red pepper and salted and fermented shrimp.

This study was carreid out to investigate present comsuming behavior and consumer preference of SEAFOODS as a stuff in KIMCHI making, adopting a questionaire survey for 500 housewives living in Korea except Chejudo Province. Frequency distribution and percentage of preferences were measured. Out of total housewives responded, 65.5% consider, THEY SHOULD EAT KIMCHI DAILY. Which conforms, kimchi is still an important side dish at most of the households On the other hand, some others consider EATING KIMCHI EVERY DAY is not neccesary(6.0%) or dislike it(0.5%). This result might suggest that kimchi may or may not be an essential sidedish for every households in the future. 96.3% of Housewives used fermented salited fish and 45% used seafoods as a staffing in making kimchi. Major reasons for adding seafoods in kimchi were: it improves teste and flavor(79.5%) and nutritional value(54.2%). Reasons for rejecting seafoods as a stuffing in making kimchi were: it worsens taste and flavor(13.5%), hygenic treatments of seafoods are below the necessary level(13.5%) and shelf life become shorter(12.8%), respectively. Among the fermented salted sauces, 84.9% and 69.1% of house wives responded as anchovy and shrimp sause were most favorite(base) material in Kimchi making, respectively. Out of total seafoods utilized in making kimchi,76.4%, 54.7% and 31.4% of housewives responded as oyster, small shrimp and sea-staghorn as the favorite seafoods in Kimchi making(raw material). Majority of housewives responded to develop it's taste and flavor to meet that of international one(86.5%) and that hygienic level(treatments) should be upgraded(50.9%).

ATP related compounds, ammonia, VBN, pH and sensory quality of shrimps were determined to evaluate quality changes during iced and frozen storage. ATP related compounds were determined by HPLC, ammonia by ammonia ion specific electrode, VBN by micro-diffusion method, pH by pH meter, sensory quality by multiple comparison test with 30 panelists. K value of ice stored shrimps gradually increased to 20% for 8 days, and then increased more rapidly, whereas that of frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 7 months. Ammonia contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 6 days and then rapidly after 8 days storage, whereas that in frozen stored shrimps increased slowly for 8 months. VBN contents in ice stored shrimps increased slowly for 10 days and then rapidly after 12 days. VBN contents in frozen stored shrimps slightly increased for 6 months. Sensory scores of taste and color of shrimps marked lowered values after 6 days storage in ice, and after 6 and 7 months frozen storage, respectively. Sensory flavor scores of stored shrimps had significant correlations with K value, ammonia, pH and VBN. These results indicated that ammonia contents in stored shrimps, rapidly determined by an ammonia electrode, could be used as a quality index of shrimps.

We evaluated physicochemical and sensory characteristics of 25 commercial salt-fermented shrimps by kind (Oh Jeot, Yook Jeot and Chu Jeot) by manufacturer (traditional marketer (TS) ＆ company (CS)). Salinity and pH ranged 17.9∼28.7% and 7.82∼8.74, respectively, of which Chu Jeot was somewhat higher in salinity and pH, compared with those of the others. Amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) and thiobarbituric acid reactive subjects (TBARS) showed great variation ranged with 21.41∼661.13 mg%, 263.2∼1180.2 mg% and 0.507∼1.322 $\mu\textrm{g}$/g, respectively. Hunter color of L value was 53.99∼67.45, a value, 4.98∼12.06 and b value, 4.45∼10.4. Physicochemical quality showed greater variations in Chu Jeot of TS than that of CS. Products of CS have higher salinity while lower VBN and AN than those of TS. Sensory results showed that mean scores of appearance, over-all taste, over-all flavor and over-all acceptability between TS and CS were not significantly different. The mean score of over-all acceptance was the highest in Yook Jeot. Physicochemical and sensory characteristics of salt-fermented shrimps in a PCA plot comprised of first principal component (68.36%) and second principal component (31.36%).

This study is to investigate the recognition and preference of tofu food among general consumers and housewives in order to develope new tofu menu. The questionnaires are consisted of general questions, style of dining out, frequency of dining, health status, preference of tofu, reason for prefer tofu. A total of 262 questionnaires were analyzed for statistical analysis. The statistical analysis was completed using SAS program (Version 8.2) for descriptive analysis and ${\chi}^2\;-test$. Main results of this study were as follows: Most of the respondents prefer Korean food, 70% of the respondents are general consumers while 73.5% of the respondents are housewives. The frequency of dining out was 1-2 times per week. The two groups bought pre-cooked food one to two times per week. Fourity seven percent of the general consumers and 50% of housewives did not like the taste of tofu due to plain flavor. The respondents overall preferred many different ways to prepare tofu dishes. The results also indicated that tofu dishes are used as side-dishes. Thirty three percent of house wives had tofu with miso soup and pan-fried tofu, while 29.6% of the general consumers had soft tofu stew. 34% of the general consumers preferred stuffed tofu with shrimp, while 35.5% of the housewives liked it. 17% of the general consumers liked grilled tofu with crab meat sauce while only 14.5% of the housewives preferred the menu. Tofu teriyaki was preferred among 8.2% of the general consumers while 13.2% of the housewives liked tofu teriyaki.

Sixteen somimembranosus muscles were seamed out from sixteen left carcasses. They were cut into $7{\times}10{\times}2cm$ pieces and mixed randomly. Samples were assigned to four treatments: (T1) soy-based sauce; (T2) Kimchi-based sauce; (T3) pickled shrimp-based sauce; and (T4) onion-based sauce. Each treatment was aged in plastic box at $1^{\circ}C$ for 10 days. These samples were vacuum-packaged after treatment with sauces and held in a chill at $1^{\circ}C$ for 28 days. The pH of aged port in general, was decreased significantly (p<0.05) with storage in all treatments. Its falling rate was the slowest in T4 of all treatments, while it was faster in T2 and T3 than in T4. The salinity of aged pork was decreased (p<0.05) for T2 with increased storage days, but increased (p<0.05) for T1. The salinity showed T2 to be significantly higher (p<0.05) than T1 and T4 on 1 day, but to be lower(p<0.05) than T1 on 28 day. The saccharinity of T3 was significantly higher (p<0.05) on 1 day than those of T1 and T4, but decreased (p<0.05) on 14 and 28 day. While saccharinity of T1 was significantly the lowest(p<0.05) of all treatments on 1 day and increased (p<0.05) with increased storage days. For T1 and T2, the WHC (water holding capacity) results showed higher (p<0.05) on 14 day than on 1 and 28 day. On 28 day, the WHC result showed T4 to be the highest(p<0.05) of all treatments, but T2 to be the lowest (p<0.05). On 28 day, the shear force results showed a big difference (p<0.05) among treatments, being in order of T4>T3>T2>T1. Panelists rated T1 as having higher(p<0.05) aroma, flavor and overall acceptability than other treatments.

In order to elucidate a responsible mechanism for the development of the odor characteristics of cooked desirable flavoring materials such as crab and shrimp, shore swimming crab flesh were extracted with various solvents and resulting extracts were evaluated organoleptically after cooking. As a result, $80\%$ aqueous methanol extract (AME) was found to produce a cooked desirable flavoring odor. After dialysis of AME, outer dialyzate was fractionated by ionexchange column chromatography, and each of the fraction obtained was subjected to cooking, fellowed by organoleptic evaluation. The outer dialyzate fraction, acidic and amphoteric fraction produced a cooked crab-like odor, On the basis of the composition of $80\%$ AME, an artificial crab extract was prepared with pure chemicals. The artificial crab extract thus obtained closely resembled $80\%$ AME in respect of the cooked odor. To elucidate the role of individual components, the artificial extracts from which certain component alone or as group was omitted were subjected to organoleptic evaluation after cooking. All of neutral, acidic, basic, and sulfur containing amino acids and quarternary base compounds were involved in the development of the cooked crab-like odor. The cooked odor of artificial extract without addition of ribose was lacking in the characteristics of cooked crab odor, and phosphorus compound accelerated the development of the cooked crab-like odor.

Free and total amino acids of before and after the heating of the small shrimps were analysed quantitatively, in order to confirm the role of amino acids as important precursors of cooked odor components. Differences of free amino acids contents of the three samples were slightly reconized but free amino acids contents of all sample decreased as about half by heating, It seems that decreased amino acids participate In volatile components of the Small Shrimps. (Sergia lucens Hancen, Euphausia Surperba and Euphausia pacifica Hancen). The amino-carbonyl model reaction was carried out, in order to confirm formation mechanism of volatile compounds of the small shrimps during cooking. The model systems constituted by diluted solutions. of glucose and amino acids (proline, taurine and betaine) the most containing in small shrimps. The volatile odor concentrates of model system were obtained by simultaneous distillation and extraction with Nickerson's apparatus. The odor concentrates of model systems(I, III) had not small shrimp-like odor and main compounds were 1,4,5,6-tetrahydro-2-acetopyridine and 2-acetyl pyridine. In model system II, hetero ring nitrogen and sulfur compounds identified in small shrimps were not did.
