This study was preformed to make high quality fish cake made with silver pomfret, which is one of the savory, soft and delicious fishes by adding wasabi powder (WP). WP as natural additives was added to the ratio of 0.6%, 1.2%, 1.8%, 2.4%, 3%, a color values, texture, folding test, sensory evaluation, peroxide value, TBA value, and viable cell count were analyzed. L and a value were decreased significantly by the increase of the ratio of WP. However, b value was increased. In the folding test to show the flexibility of fish cake, it was measured AA in the all samples. As the result of measuring texture, hardness was increased significantly by the addition of WP, cohesiveness was the highest in 1.8 WP and 0.6 WP, Springiness showed no significant difference among samples. However gumminess and chewiness of fish cake adding wasabi powder were significantly higher comparing with control group. In sensory evaluation, 1.8 WP had the best score in overall acceptability. Fish cakes had lower peroxide value, TBA value and viable cell count after frying compared to the one without WP. These results indicate that fish cake could be prepared by adding the WP for high quality and functionality. Consequently, wasabi can be applied as a food preservative or additive in fish cake.

For the probiotic feed production from residual food waste, aerobic liquid fermentation was conducted by thermophilic bacteria. 11 Strains of bacteria were isolated from several soil sources and residual food waste. Screening was carried by shaking incubator for the separation of thermophilic strain at $55^{\circ}C$. The isolated strains were tested for enzyme activities such as ${\alpha}$-amylase and protease. 6 Bacterial strains were chosen and were adapted by repeated fermentation processes in food waste substrate. The viable cell count of them at final fermentation stages were shown as $3-7{\times}10^9/ml$ in 2L-jar fermenter. Among them B3, B6 showed higher enzyme activity. By the mixed fermentation of B3, B6 and Bacillus stearothermophilus, the highest viable cell count reached to $1.4{\times}10^{10}/ml$ in 8 hours.

This research investigated how low dose radiation affected the quality characteristics of Takju. The treatment group were the quality characteristics of control group, Takju treated by radiation of separate 4, 7, 10 Gy and sterilized Takju. We measured pH, titratable acidity, alcohol, brix, total viable cell count, Hunter's color values, sensory characteristic. As a result, We discovered there were minute changes in pH, titratable acidity, alcohol, brix, total viable cell count. Likewise, The color appeared changes on separate radiation dose. In the sensory characteristic, People's preference ranked better than average level according to priority Takju treated by 4, 7, 10 radiation. In conclusion, Low dose radiation had little effect on the quality characteristics of Takju. However, Takju received a favorable review by some people In test of taste such as after taste. So We thought, such as preservation, the research using the radiation should be continually conducted.

This study was used samples, mackerel (Scomber japonicas), Japanese Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus niphonius), alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma), yellow croaker (larimichthys crocea) known as some of the major species fisheries products in Korea We were investigated temperature change during thawing processing, water holding capacity, drip loss, extractive-nitrogen and viable cell count by various thawing methods, thawing at the room temperature (TRT), hot-air thawing (HAT), aeration thawing (AT), high-frequency thawing (HFT). The temperature changes have taken 2~3 hours in HFT and 24 hours by TRT. The expressible drip loss was 0.47~0.87 g/100 g in HFT, 1.91~4.42 g/100g in TRT, 1.31~4.93 g/100g in HAT, and 2.01~4.59 g/100g in AE. The water holding capacity was higher samples thawing by HFT than other thawing methods. Extractive-nitrogen was 276~452 mg/100 g in HFT, 177.21~420.27 mg/100 g in TRT. Viable cell count was $10^2$ to $10^3$ in HFT, $10^3$ to $10^5$ in other thawing methods. The processing speed and uniformity by HFT was minimized the risk of product degradations (drip losses, deterioration of sensorial, chemical and physical characteristics, bacteria growth, etc.), thus helping to preserve at its best the product quality than those by thawing methods. Therefore, HFT was expected to make high-quality thawing products anticipate future thawing technology

The effects of ethanol extract of onion (EEO) on the qualify of fried fish paste were investigated. EEO was added at 0, 1, 3 and 5% level. Quality attributes including moisture content, pH, acid value, TBA value, volatile basic nitrogen, color value, viable cell count and sensory evaluation were analyzed. Moisture content was not changed by addition of EEO. Increasing the amount of EEO, pH, acid value and TBA value of fried fish paste tended to decreased but volatile basic nitrogen increased. L-value was decreased and a-value and b-value were increased by addition of EEO. Viable cell count was decreased by addition of EEO. In sensory evaluation, the higher amount of EEO obtained higher favorite score in flavor and taste, and 3% EEO had the best score in overall acceptance. These results suggest that EEO can be applied to fried fish paste for the purpose of high quality and functionality.

In a previous study, we have isolated a number of lactobacilli from Korean women, and one of them (KLB46) was identified as Lactobacillus crispatus by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. For the ecological treatment of bacterial vaginosis (BV) cell suspension of L. crispatus KLB46 was instillated into BV patients. L. crispatus KLB46 was found to persist for several days in cell suspension with no nutrients. In this study, in order to assess the influence of starvation on physiological activity, we compared the viability and culturability of KLB46 following suspension in various buffer solutions. A pair of in situ fluorescent dye was used to assess viability (i.e. membrane integrity) and the culturability was examined by plate count assay. A rapid epifluorescence staining method using the LIVE/DEAD Bacterial Viability Kit $(BacLight^{TM})$ was applied to estimate both viable and total counts of bacteria in cell suspension. $BacLight^{TM}$ is composed of two nucleic acid-binding stains ($SYTO\;9^{TM}$ and propidium iodide). $SYTO\;9^{TM}$ penetrates all bacterial membranes and stains the cells green while propidium iodide only penetrates cells with damaged membranes, therefore the combination of the two stains produces red fluorescing cells. Optimal staining conditions for $BacLight^{TM}$ were found to be with 0.0835M $SYTO\;9^{TM}$ and 0.05M propidium iodide for 15 min incubation at room temperature in dark. When cells were microscopically examined during 140 hours of starvation, the culturability decreased markedly while the viability remained relatively constant, which suggests that large fraction of KLB46 cells became viable but non-culturable (VBNC) upon starvation.

This study assessed the safety of raw oysters Crassostrea gigas for consumption during processing in a processing plant. Bacterial contamination (e.g., viable cell counts, coliform groups, Escherichia. coli and pathogenic bacteria) and chemical contamination (e.g., heavy metals and shellfish toxins) were measured on raw oysters, a processing equipment, employees and work areas. No total mercury, lead, paralytic shellfish poison, diarrheic shellfish poison or norovirus was detected in any post-harvested oyster samples. However, the cadmium level ranged from 0.1-0.2 mg/kg. The viable cell count, E. coli and coliform group levels in post-harvested oysters ranged from 4.00-4.54 log CFU/g, ND-210 MPN/100 g and 110-410 MPN/100 g, respectively. The viable contaminating cell counts on employees, equipment and work areas were in the range of $0.90-3.46log\;CFU/100cm^2$. Airborne bacteria in the work areas ranged from 0.60 to 1.81 log CFU/plate/15 min. Thus, no significant health risks were detected in the processing plant.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of proteolytic pork hydrolysate (PPH) on yoghurt production by Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Fresh lean pork was cut into pieces and mixed with deionized water and dealt with protease, then the resulting PPH was added to milk to investigate the effects of PPH on yoghurt production. The fermentation time, the viable cell counts, the flavor, free amino acids compounds, and sensory evaluation of yoghurt were evaluated. These results showed that PPH significantly stimulated the growth and acidification of the both bacterial strains. When the content of PPH reached 5% (w/w), the increased acidifying rate occurred, which the fermentation time was one hour less than that of the control, a time saving of up to 20% compared with the control. The viable cell counts, the total free amino acids, and the scores of taste, flavor and overall acceptability in PPH-supplemented yoghurt were higher than the control. Furthermore, the contents of some characteristic flavor compounds including acids, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones and esters were richer than the control. We concluded that the constituents of PPH such as small peptide, vitamins, and minerals together to play the stimulatory roles and result in beneficial effect for the yoghurt starter cultures growth.

Fermented kale juices using four types of lactobacilli were produced in the present study. After 48 h of fermentation time, viable cell counts of all ferments reached an above $10^9CFU/mL$. The viability of the ferments after cold storage in the refrigerator for 4 weeks showed $10^8CFU/mL$ in all ferments. Among four types of fermented kale juices, the ferment of Lactobacillus acidophilus IFO 3025 indicated a good nutritional composition, including neutral sugar ($1,909.76{\mu}g/mL$), reducing sugar ($564.00{\mu}g/mL$, P<0.05), and protein contents ($160.06{\mu}g/mL$, P<0.05). The results of mineral composition analysis had the highest potassium value in all ferments ($854.16{\sim}895.07{\mu}g/mL$), particularly in the ferment of Lactobacillus brevis FSB-1 (P<0.001), which is necessary to sustain osmotic pressure, prevention of high blood pressure, and protein synthesis. Moreover, calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium contents related to bone health were generally sufficient in all ferments. Consequently, in this study, fermented kale juices may be suggested as a healthy fermented beverage with essential nutrients. However, the acceptability of the fermented kale juice to the Korean taste should be further investigated with a trained taste panel to determine whether inoculated fermentation could be an option for the consumers.

Microbial distribution as well as content of salt and preservatives in side dishes was investigated by analyzing cell count of viable cells, coliform bacteria and food poisoning bacteria of sliced squid bokum and anchovy bokum, purchased at 17 different department stores and 2 different traditional market in Seoul, which are most preferred by many consumers to any other side dishes available in the market. 6.2$\times$103~1.2$\times$108 cells/g of viable cell was detected in 19 different samples of the sliced squid bokum, among which samples of the sliced squid bokum and 14 samples of the anchovy bokum contained 103~108 cells/g of coliform group. However food poisoning bacteria were not detected in all the samples tested. Salt content was 2.42~4.89 %w/w and 2.28~6.46 w/w for the sliced squid bokum and the anchovy bokum respectively. Analysis of preservatives by HPLC such as sorbic acid, benzoic acid, dehydroacetic acid and another 6 kinds of esters resulted that 1.0$\times$73.8 mg/100 g of sorbic acid was detected in the 19 samples of the sliced squid bokum, while only 6 samples of the 15 anchovy bokum samples contained sorbic acid.
