Conditions for Rapid Processing of Modified Fish Sauce using Enzymatic Hrdrolysis and Improvement of Product Quality 3. Fish Sauce from Whole Sardine and Its Quality.

효소분해법에 의한 개량어장유의 속성제조 및 품질에 관한 연구 3. 정어리 전어체를 이용한 어장유의 속성제조 및 품질

Processing conditions of whole sardine into modified fish sauce were investigated. Thawed and chopped sardine was homogenized and hydrolyzed using commercial proteolytic enzymes such as complex enzyme-2000($2.18{\cdot}10^4U/g solid$) and alcalase($1.94{\cdot}10^4\;U/g solid$) in a cylindrical vessel with 4 baffles and 6-bladed impeller. Optimal pH, enzyme concentration and temperature for the hydrolysis with complex enzyme-2000 were 7.0, $7\%$ (W/W) and $52^{\circ}C$, and-those with alcalase were 8.0, $6\%$ (W/W) and $60^{\circ}C$. In both cases, the reasonable amount of water for homogenization, agitation speed and hydrolyzing time were $100\%$ (W/W), 100 rpm and 210 minutes. Thermal treatment of the filtered hydrolysate at $90^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours with $6\%$ of invert sugar was adequated to inactivation of the enzymes and pasteurization of the hydrolysate. Flavor, taste and color of the hydrolysate were improved during the heating process in which the browning products might participate. The content of free amino nitrogen in the fish sauce seasoned with $15\%$ of table salt was ca. $1,640 mg\%$. Yield of the fish sauce based on the contents of proteinous and free amino nitrogen in the raw whole sardine was ca. $86\%$, and ca. $96\%$ of these compounds of the fish sauce was in the form of free amino nitrogen. The pH, salinity and histamine content of the fish sauce were $6.1\~6.3,\;14.2\~14.3\%$ and less than $10\;mg\%$.
