Fish Fermentation Technology
Edited by Cherl-Ho Lee, Keith H. Steinkraus,
and P. J. Alan Reilly
The first part of this study considers the role of fermented foods in different food traditions around the world. The major types of food fermentation are described in terms of their regional importance, historical development, and the microbial processes involved. Following a detailed analysis of the cultural aspects of fermented foods in Asia, a comprehensive presentation is made of the fish fermentation technologies of Burma, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, and Thailand. The final section of the book concerns the microbiological and biochemical aspects of low- and high-salt fishery products, focusing mainly on Korea.
