Comparison of quality characteristics between belacan from Brunei Darussalam and Korean shrimp paste

Background: This study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics between shrimp pastes from Korea and Brunei. Belacan is a fermented shrimp paste from Brunei. Korea manufactures two products: one is fermented and dried Saewoojeot shrimp paste, and the other is a dried shrimp paste. Method...

description Background: This study was conducted to compare the quality characteristics between shrimp pastes from Korea and Brunei. Belacan is a fermented shrimp paste from Brunei. Korea manufactures two products: one is fermented and dried Saewoojeot shrimp paste, and the other is a dried shrimp paste. Methods: The quality characteristics studied were: chemical composition, amino acids, minerals, fatty acids, cholesterol, water activity, pH, and salinity. Results: The moisture and salinity content were highest in Belacan (p < 0.05). The fat and ash content, Mg, Na, unsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids were highest in the Korean fermented Saewoojeot shrimp paste. Conclusion: The protein content, pH, water activity Ca, Fe, K, P, Zn, total amino acids, essential amino acids, saturated fatty acids, and cholesterol content tended to be higher in the Korean dried shrimp paste than in Bruneian belacan and Korean fermented Saewoojeot shrimp paste.
