Commercially distributed salted and fermented anchovy sauces in Korea were purchased from six different companies. Microbiological, chemical, rheological and sensory analyses were carried out to evaluate the quality and safety and to provide basic information of the products. The salinity of every product was lower than of regulatory standard. All samples tested had acceptable in moisture content and pH. However, wide range of amino nitrogen (AN), volatile basic nitrogen(AN), volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and trimethylamine (TMA) contents were observed. One product among tested had lower level of AN than regulatory standard. Pathogenic microorganisms were also detected from the samples, therefore sanitation procedure will be needed to ensure safety. From the results, AN, VBN, and viscosity were highly correlated to sensory scores, suggesting that these values can utilized as a standard method to evaluate quality of the salted and fermented anchovy sauce.

Gamma irradiations at 5 or 10 kGy were applied to salted and fermented anchovy sauce, for improving the hygiene Quality and evaluating the genotoxicological safety. In vitro genotoxicological safety of irradiated sauces was evaluated by Salmonella Typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TAI535 and TAI537) and E. coli WP2 uvrA, reversion assay, SOS chromotest (Escherichia coli PQ37), and chromosome aberration test (Chinese hamster lung fibroblast cells) in the absence or presence of an exogenous metabolizing system (S9 mix). The gamma-irradiated samples were not significantly different from nonirradiated-control for three in vitro tests (p＜0.05). ：In vivo micronucleus test using ICR mice (male) was not significantly different from the control at p＜0.05. The salted and fermented anchovy sauce exposed to 5 or 10 kGy-gamma ray revealed negative results in these three in vitro mutagenetic tests and in vivo micronucleus test upto 50,000 $\mu$g/plate, respectively. The results indicated that 5 or 10 kGy gamma-irradiated salted and fermented anchovy sauces did not show any mutagenicity.

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.

To establish a new manufacturing process of low-salted fermented anchovy sauce, commercial fermented anchovy sauce with 23% NaCl was desalted using a spirit. The proximate composition, total nitrogen, amino nitrogen, Escherichia coli, and total and free amino acid contents were analyzed to evaluate the quality characteristics of commercial salted fermented anchovy sauce (CFAS) and low-salt fermented anchovy sauce by desalting processing (LFAS). The salinity of saltwater and fermented anchovy sauce decreased with an increase in the spirit added to 23% NaCl saltwater and 23% NaCl commercial fermented anchovy sauce. The total nitrogen and amino nitrogen contents were higher in LFAS than in CFAS. The major amino acids that were commonly found in CFAS and LFAS were glutamic acid, alanine, lysine and leucine. Basic data were provided for commodification research on low-salt fermented anchovy sauce, which is very important for the diet of humans.

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)

Gamma irradiation was used to improve sanitation and quality of salted and fermented anchovy sauce. For commercial production, comparison with currently using sterilization methods, such as micro-filtration and heat treatment were also conducted. Control was prepared without irradiation and sterilization process. Microbiological, physiochemical, and sensory qualities were analyzed to observe the Quality changes during the storage. Irradiation at 5 kGy or above and micro-filtration process completely eliminated microorganisms detected in this study As irradiation dose increased, the color appeared brighter and irradiation at 5 kGy or above showed similar color L-value to that of sample treated with microfiltration. The color L, a, b-value of heat-treated sample always showed lower. The pH, salinity, and viscosity were sustained during storage. From the results of sensory evaluation, the samples treated with gamma irradiation and microfiltration obtained better scores than control or heat-sterilized. Gamma irradiation to salted and fermented anchovy sauce presented the best quality products among different sterilizing methods, especially at 5 kGy dose. Therefore, gamma irradiation can be successfully applied to commercial large scale production as a new sanitation technology with improved quality.

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 performed recognition and preference tests on hometown foods given to University students in NaePo province, which is in the northwest area of Chungnam, Korea. The results indicated that female students and people who majored in food science were less interested in hometown foods than male students or who are not majors in food science. Moreover, they preferred Korean-style foods to food from other countries. Mass media has aroused interest in hometown foods. However, hometown foods require standard recipes certain levers of autonomy for the population. Hometown foods are valuable and should be handed down the next generation through publicity. For example, Kkotgetang(blue crab soup) was the best known hometown foods followed by kkotgegang(fermented blue crab with sauce), saeujeot(salted and fermented shrimp), eorigul jeot(salted and fermented oyster with red pepper) in that orders. The most preferred food was kkokgetang(blue crab soup) followed by kkotgegang(fermented blue crab with sauce).

To develop the rapid processing of northern sand lance sauce by thermoase, the rapid fermentation conditions and quality of fermented sauce were investigated gated The recommendable condition of rapid fermentation were determined as follows: thermoase concentration, fermentation time and fermentation temperature were $0.2\%$, 9hr and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. The northern sand lance sauce fermented rapidly showed light brown color. The sweet amino acids were higher in the rapid fermented-sauce than commercal fermented sauce although the content of total nitrogen, amino nitrogen and total amino acids were low in it. Hereafter we suppose that the rapid fermented sauce by thermoase will be wide usable because it can use the salted northern sand lance in short time.
