We prepared salmon patties and compared the quality characteristics thereof with those of commercial tuna and pork patties. The moisture and crude ash contents of salmon patty were lower, whereas the crude protein content was higher, than those of commercial patties. The crude lipid content of salmon patty was higher than that of tuna patty, but lower than that of pork patty. The pH value and the volatile basic nitrogen content of salmon patty were lower than those of the commercial patties. Hunter color values (L, a, b) in a cross-section of cooked salmon patty were higher, whereas the ${\Delta}E$ value was lower, than those of the two commercial patties. The lipophilic browning index (0.397) of salmon patty was higher, whereas the hydrophilic browning index (0.047) was lower, than those of commercial patties. Trichloroacetic acid-soluble N content (272 mg/100 g) of salmon patty was lower than of commercial patties. The major fatty acids of salmon patty were palmitic acid (11.9%), oleic acid (27.6%), and linoleic acid (30.1%), whereas small amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 3.7%) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 8.4%) were also found. The predominant amino acids of all patties were arginine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, threonine, and proline, and the contents of these amino acids in salmon patty were higher than in the two commercial patties. The Fe, Ca, K, P, and Mg contents of salmon patty were 2.4 mg/100g, 42.6 mg/100g, 207.5 mg/100g, 211.6 mg/100 g, and 29.9 mg/100 g, respectively. The sensory quality of salmon patty was higher than that of pork patty. These results indicate that salmon patty may have good quality characteristics, comparable to those of the two commercial patties.

This study was conducted to prepare salmon patty using muscle separated from salmon frame (SPFM) and to investigate the food component characterization. When compared to salmon patty with fillet muscle (SPM), SPFM was lower in the moisture content, while it was higher in crude lipid content. However, no differences in the ash and protein contents between SPFM and SPM were found. Compared to SPM, the Hunter color value in cross section of cooked SPFM was higher in a and $\Delta$E values, while the color was lower in Land b values. Trichloroacetic acid soluble-N content of SPFM was 279 mg/100 g, which was insignificantly different (P>0.05) compared to those of SPM and commercial patty. The hardness of SPFM was 0.44 kg/$cm^2$, which was insignificantly different (P>0.05) compared to that of SPM, while was higher than that of commercial patty. The major fatty acids of SPFM were 16:0 (16.5%), 18:1n-9 (29.2%) and 18:2n-6 (26.1%). The 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3 were also detected in high composition. The total amino acid content of SPFM was 16.6 g/100 g, which was similar to that of SPM. However, the total amino acid of SPFM was 14% higher than that of commercial patty. From the results of the mineral content, SPFM was higher than that of SPM in Fe and Ca, while the K in SPFM was lower. According to the result of sensory evaluation on the color, flavor and taste, no significant differences in all sensory items between SPFM and SPM were found.

To prepare high-quality fast foods using salmon, this study developed a docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)-enriched salmon patty, and compared its quality with soybean oil-added patty and commercial patty. The moisture and lipid contents of the DHA-enriched patty were 61.9% and 7.7%, respectively. The moisture content was lower than in the commercial patty, while the lipid content was higher. The lipophilic and hydrophilic browning indices of the DHA-enriched patty were 0.10 and 0.05, respectively, which were lower than those of the commercial patty. The DHA-enriched patty had 5% less trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble nitrogen than the commercial patty, and it was firmer. There were no differences in the proximate composition, browning indices, TCA-soluble nitrogen content, and hardness between the soybean-added and DHA-enriched patties prepared in this experiment. Examining the fatty acid compositions of the patties, the saturated acid and monoenoic acid compositions decreased in the following order: DHA-enriched patty > soybean oil-added patty > commercial patty, while the polyenoic acid composition increased in that order. The total amino acid content of the DHA-enriched patty was 19.13 g/100 g, which was 32% higher than that of the commercial patty (14.47 g/100 g). No enriching effect of minerals would be expected on eating a 100 g DHA-enriched patty, except for phosphorus. The sensory evaluation indicated that the DHA-enriched patty was superior in color and taste to the commercial patty, while there was no difference in flavor between the patties.
