The purpose of this study is to investigate the management of Indigenous fermented foods during the period of economic development starting from 1960 until now, and to specify their correlation, while paying special concern to the variables of social change such as the increase of people's income, ceaseless migration of population, change in the family structure, heightening up of the educational level of women and the resulting increase of chances for getting employment, all of which may affect the management of Indigenous fermerted foods in korean families. The result is as follows. Basic seasonings and dishes such as soy bean sauce, red pepper paste, pickled seafoods, and Kimchi, are inclined to be bought as readymade products or provided by relatives in case of many nuclear families rather than made at home, which is a traditional way of home life. However, Kimchi and basic sauces or redpepper paste still show high rate of being made at home. Social variables which affect such tendency are the number of family members, the age and educational level of housewife, and the type of residence.

An alkaline protease producing microorganism was isolated from korean traditional Meju and identified as Scopulariopsis brevicaulis. The optimum culture condition of Scopulariopsis brevicaulis for the production of alkaline protease was as follow: 2% soluble starch, 0.2$, tryptophan, 0.1% (NH$_{4}$) $_{2}$S$_{2}$O$_{8}$ 0.2% NaHPO$_{4}$, pH 7.5, 35$\CIRC $C. The optimum pH and temperature for the enzyme activity of alkaline protease producing Scopulariopsis brevicaulis were pH 9.0 and 50$\circ $C, respectively. The enzyme was relatively stable at pH 6.0~11.0 and at temperature below 40$\circ $C. The activity of the enzyme was inhibited by Hg$^{2+}$ whereas Cu$^{2+}$ gave rather activating effects on the enzyme activity. Phenylmethanesulfonyl fluoride inhibited the enzyme activity. This result indicates that serine is very important role in this enzyme. Km value for casein was 1.2410$^{4}$ M/L, V$_{max}$ value for casein was 25.99 $\mu $g/min.

The fruits of Zanthoxylum piperitum are known as having various physiology vitality, and the abstraction ingredient of the pericarp is also known as having strong antibiotic activities against various bacteria. Therefore, this study was carried out to estimate the effect of physiology vitality when the abstraction ingredient of Z. piperitum was added in soy sauce(Chopi-kanjang) and soybean paste(Chopi-doenjang). For the antibiotic activity against the pathogens of sitotoxism such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella typhimurium, Vibrio parahemolyticus, Escherichia coli 0157:H7, the extracts of the Chopi-kanjang was added 1%, 2%, 4% pericarp of Z. piperitum in the manufacturing process of soy source. According to the results, the growth of E. coli 0157:H7 and V. parahemolyticus were respectively inhibited as 70% and 50% by the Chopi-kanjang added 2% of the ingredient. For the antibiotic effects of the aforementioned Chopi-kanjang against Sal. typhimurium and Sta. aureus, the growth of those pathogens was also inhibited between 40% and 60% according to the manufacturing period of Chopi-kanjang. It was confirmed that the antibiotic activity using the mixture of the abstraction ingredient and Chopi-doenjang was lower than those of Chopi-kanjang. In order to estimate the anticancer activity using by caspase-3 activity, the mixture of the abstraction ingredient of the pericarp of Z. piperitum and Chopi-kanjang was treated to leukemia cells. According to the results, the activities of caspase-3 using the mixture added 1%, 2% and 4% of the abstraction ingredient were respectively increased as much as 4, 12, 15 times comparing with the control which was treated with the soy source only. It could be that the mixture of the abstraction ingredient of the pericarp of Z. piperitum and soy source induced apoptosis, and the mixture of the abstraction ingredient and soybean paste had no effect on the activity of caspase-3. In order to find out the death of the aforementioned cells caused by necrosis or apoptosis, DNA fragmentation in the cell was examined. U-937 cells showed apoptotic DNA fragmentation in the incubation with Chopi-kanjang extract.
