Although the mackerel is an excellent food, there are disadvantages of its own smell and its shelf-life. So this study aimed to examine the quality assessment, shelf-life and acceptability of mackerel marinated with different amounts of thyme extract through the salinity, pH, texture, change of color, and sensory evaluation for reducing the smell of it and improving the shelf-life and acceptability of it with the thyme of various physiologic activities. The salinity of mackerel marinated with different amounts of thyme was a lower 2% than that of the existing salted mackerel, 5%, when producing the salted mackerel in the experimental method of this study, reducing the intake of salt. The shelf life of the existing salted mackerel was up to 4 weeks, while that of the salted mackerel marinated with thyme extract was up to 5 weeks. The change in pH during storage showed that the salted mackerel marinated with thyme extract after 5 weeks were within the initial decomposition of dark-fleshed fishes, pH 6.2-6.4, which the shelf life was extended due to the preservative effect of antioxidant content. The acceptability test showed that T 1 marinated with 1% thyme extract was ideal in all flavor, taste and general acceptability.

This study aims to examine the quality characteristics of mackerel marinaded with different amounts of dry rosemary extract as there is increasingly higher interest in functional food. The changes of pH were appropriate for the quality characteristics of the product, and hardness and color difference were suitable for quality of mackerel. According to salimetry, it was found that mackerel marinaded with dry rosemary extract had lower salt content than that of traditional Andong mackerel; therefore, salt consumption could be reduced by adding dry rosemary extract. Moreover, mackerel marinaded with dry rosemary extract made its storage period much longer. As the reference test showed that R 2 got the best taste and overall acceptance, the optimum addition was found to be 2% of dry rosemary extract.

The antioxidative effect of ethanol extract of ginger on mackerel pike(Colorabis saira) flesh was investigated by periodically measuring TBA value and perioxide value(POV) during storage. The ethanol extract of ginger was added to minced mackerel pike flesh and the fish oil by concentration(2%, 4%, 6%, 8%). Then the minced flesh was storaged at $-5^{\circ}C$ and the fish oil was incubated at $40^{\circ}C$. The TBA values of minced flesh were approximately increased in inverse proportion to concentration of ginger extract. Peroxide values were attended with the same effect as TBA value in the aggregate. In addition, The relationship between $TBA_{37^{\circ}C-2hrs}$ of the minced flesh and their lipid oxidation during storage at -$5^{\circ}C$ for 4 weeks was observed(r=O.98). $TBA_{37^{\circ}C-2hrs}$ can be expressed as the susceptibility to lipid oxidation of minced mackerel pike flesh during storage. In the results, the antioxidative effect of alcohol extract of ginger on mackerel pike flesh was observed.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of garlic extract on histamine reduction in mackerel meat stored at $4^{\circ}C$ and $15^{\circ}C$, respectively. The number of total bacteria in mackerel meat treated with 7.5% garlic extract was ten times lower than that of the control stored for 6 days of $4^{\circ}C$. However, there was no difference among the samples after 9 days of storage. Reduction of eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6) contents was observed in the normal control group at both temperatures. However, contents of these two polyunsaturated fatty acids slightly increased in garlic extract-treated fish. Amounts of volatile basic nitrogen increased over time in the control group, but decreased in the garlic extract-treated meat, indicating that garlic extract might suppress decomposition. No histamine was detected initially in all samples. However, a small amount of histamine (42.87 mg/kg) was detected in the control at 3 days after storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Histamine content increased continuously with storage period but was lower in mackerel meat containing garlic extract, in which histamine suppression was proportional to the concentration of garlic extract. It can be concluded that garlic extract could be utilized to extend the storage period of mackerel.

Effects of muscle extracts of five species of fish and shell-fish, mackerel, jack mackerel, yellow corvenia, shrimp and baby-neck clam, on lipid oxidation were investigated using a model system consisting of methyl linoleate absorbed in micro crystalline cellulose and extracts of fishes. Ethanol extracts of both mackerel and jack mackerel apparently showed inhibitory effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate, while the extract of yellow corvenia, and baby-neck clam showed a slight catalyzed effect on contrary. The ethanol extract of shrimp, however, revealed no effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate. When the ethanol extracts were dialyzed, the outer fractions of dark fleshed fish had a strong inhibitory effect on the oxidation of methyl linoleate, while the inner fractions did not. The outer fraction of yellow corvenia showed catalyzed effect, but the inner fraction inhibited the oxidation slightly. The outer fraction of shrimp had a strong inhibitory action, but the inner fraction showed no effect. The methanol-water fraction of chloroform-methanol extract of shrimp showed a quite strong inhibitory effect on the oxidation, whereas that of four other samples did the same levels of effect as ethanol extracts.

Quality characteristics of citron-treated mackerel oil and fillet during refrigerated storage were evaluated. Citron-treated and non-treated mackerel oil and fillet were estimated by periodical measurements of acid, peroxide, carbonyl, volatile basic nitrogen, trimethylamine-N, and thiobarbituric acid values. Volatile basic nitrogen and trimethylarnine-N values in mackerel fillet treated with citron for 25 days during refrigerated storage were significantly lower than those of citron non-treated mackerel fillet, with those of boiled citron water-treat group significantly decreasing compared to 1 and 2% citron extract groups. Acid, peroxide, carbonyl, and thiobarbituric acid values of citron-treated mackerel oil were significantly lower than those of citron non-treated mackerel oil throughout storage period. Overall acceptability of salted mackerel fillets treated with boiled citron water and 1% citron extract was significantly than those of control and 2% citron extract. Results indicate application of citron juice on mackerel surface may be useful to lower rancidity degree and fish odor during refrigerated storage.

This study was performed to investigate the inhibitory effects of brown algae extracts on histamine production in mackerel muscle. First, antimicrobial activities of brown algae extracts against Morganella morganii were investigated using a disk diffusion method. An ethanol extract of Ecklonia cava (ECEE) exhibited strong antimicrobial activity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ECEE was 2 mg/ml. Furthermore, the brown algae extracts were examined for their ability to inhibit crude histidine decarboxylase (HDC) of M. morganii. The ethanol extract of Eisenia bicyclis (EBEE) and ECEE exhibited significant inhibitory activities (19.82% and 33.79%, respectively) at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. To obtain the phlorotannin dieckol, ECEE and EBEE were subjected to liquid-liquid extraction, silica gel column chromatography, and HPLC. Dieckol exhibited substantial inhibitory activity with an $IC_{50}$ value of 0.61 mg/ml, and exhibited competitive inhibition. These extracts were also tested on mackerel muscle. The viable cell counts and histamine production in mackerel muscle inoculated with M. morganii treated with ${\geq}2.5 $ MIC of ECEE (weight basis) were highly inhibited compared with the untreated sample. Furthermore, treatment of crude HD-Cinoculated mackerel muscle with 0.5% ECEE and 0.5% EBEE (weight basis), which exhibited excellent inhibitory activities against crude HDC, reduced the overall histamine production by 46.29% and 56.89%, respectively, compared with the untreated sample. Thus, these inhibitory effects of ECEE and EBEE should be helpful in enhancing the safety of mackerel by suppressing histamine production in this fish species.

In odor to develop fillet-type seasoner and mixed powder-type seasoner using smoked mackerel as primary material, processing conditions of the mackerel meat and flavoring extract from various materials were examined. The approximate composition of mackerel meat and mixed powde-type seasoner using mackerel as primary material were 10.9 and 11.7%, for moisture 79.1 and 57.2% for crude protein, 5.3 and 2.9% for crude lipid, and 4.3 and 24.6% for crude ash, respectively. It was suitable to simmer raw mackerel in 3% chitooligosaccaride solution at 8$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min., for the enhancement of reaction their meat and chitooligosaccharide. Considering effect of type of woodsmoke on organoletic properties of mackerel after smoking, oak and mixture(oak wood ＋ citrus wood = 1 : 1) were superior to another woodsmoke, the smoking conditions favoring the most overall preference were 8$0^{\circ}C$, 25min. for smoking time, 20$0^{\circ}C$, 20min. for baking, and 10$0^{\circ}C$. 4hrs. for drying. The optimal material mixing ratio for mixed powder-type seasoner was powder of smoked mackerel 60%, dried anchovy 15%, dried sea tangle 10%. The most appropriate extraction condition of mixed powder seasoner with packing tea bag(10g/bag) was 98$^{\circ}C$ for 5min. in the boiling water.

This study examined the influence of sea wind mugwort extract treatment on quality characteristics of mackerel during storage. Mackerel were packaged individually and then immersed in 5% sea wind mugwort extract for 2, 3, or 4 hr and stored at $-20^{\circ}C$. The salinity of a control (no treatment) and that of mackerel immersed in sea wind mugwort for 2 hr was lowest (0.07%). pH of 5.90-6.23, and the change in acidity was in the opposite range. Immersion for 2, 3, and 4 hr led to a decrease in the tensile strength of the samples following storage, whereas the tensile strength of the control increased. The volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of the mackerel immersed for 2 hr was significantly lower than that of the control (5.6-15.4 mg% vs. 4.2-50.7 mg%). In the mackerel immersed for 2 hr, the total polyphenol and total flavonoid content was 286.3-497.0 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g and 177.5-385.6 mg quercetin equivalents (QE)/100 g, respectively. The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2-azino-bis(3-ethyl-benzothizoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging activities of the mackerel immersed in sea wind mugwort for 2 hr were 50.6% and 61.3%, respectively. Overall, the immersion of mackerel in sea wind mugwort for a short time significantly improved quality characteristics, such as salinity, pH, acidity, hardness, antioxidant activity, and perceptible quality, following storage.

The present study was conducted to evaluate effect of fermented chub mackerel extract (FCME) on lipid metabolism of rats fed a diet supplemented with 1% cholesterol. Four week-old male rats were divided into three groups of 15 rats with 0, 0.1% or 0.2% FCME supplementation. In comparison with control, rats fed 0.2% FCME showed reduction of activities of acetyl-Coenzyme A carboxylase (p<0.05), 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl Coenzyme A reductase (p<0.01) and fatty acid synthetase (p<0.01). Rats fed 0.2% FCME also showed reductions in free cholesterol in the liver (p<0.05), and in concentrations of free cholesterol (p<0.05), LDL+VLDL-cholesterol (p<0.05), triglyceride (p<0.01) and phospholipid (p<0.01) in the plasma. Plasma HDL-cholesterol concentration was significantly (p<0.05) higher in treatment groups as compared with control group. Atherogenic index was also significantly lower in rats fed 0.1% or fed 0.2% supplement diet, whereas bile acid in feces was not significantly affected. The current study showed that 0.2% inclusion level of the fermented chub mackerel extracts might have hypolipidemic properties.
