To evaluate the possibility of using a by-products of skipjack canning as a food or feedstuff, the proximate composition, total and free amino acids, total lipid composition, and nucleotide related compounds were analyzed. The crude protein was highest in dark muscle, while lipid was highest in head. The important total amino acids in by-products were founded to be glycine, glutamic acid, alanine and histidine. The important free amino acids from dark muscle and head were taurine, histidine and anserine. The amounts of histidine, anserine and carnosine in dark muscle was higher than those of cooking drips, head, and raw vicera. The major fatty acids in by-products were palmitic, stearic, oleic and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The inosine and hypoxanthine were important nucleotide related compounds in by-products. The results suggests that by-products from skipjack can be used as food sources and feedstuffs especially for marine fish culture.

This study was conducted to compare the food quality of commercial salt-fermented silver-stripe round herring (SFS) to that of commercial salt-fermented anchovy (SFA). The contents of moisture and crude protein of SFS were higher than those of SFA. However, the crude lipid and crude ash contents of SFS were lower than those of SFA. The salinity of SFS was 13.2%, which was lower than that of SFA. The taste value of SFS was 148.1, which was higher than that of SFA. The total amino acid content of SFS was 18.1 g/100 g and its major amino acids were glutamic acid (9.5%) and aspartic acid (8.1%). The contents of calcium, phosphorus and iron in SFS were 647 mg/100 g, 363 mg/100 g and 4.1 mg/100 g, respectively. Twenty six types of fatty acids were detected in SFS and the major components were 16:0, 18:0, 18:1n-9 and 22:6n-3. The angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibiting and the antioxidative abilities of SFS were 50.0% and 1.15, respectively, which were similar to those of SFA. Sensory evaluation revealed that SFS had a superior taste and color to SFS, while to the flavor of two products was similar.

This study was conducted to improve yield and functional properties of autoclave-treated salmon frame extracts (SFETA) using commercial enzymes (Alcalase 2.4 L FG, Flavourzyme 500 MG, Neutrase 0.8 L and Protamex 1.5 MG). Yield and angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of all enzymatic hydrolysates improved compared to those of control (undigested extracts), which were the highest in hydrolysates incubated with Protamex 1.5 MG for 4 hrs (P4-treated hydrolysates) and 2 hrs (P2-treated hydrolysates), respectively. However, antioxidant activities of all enzymatic hydrolysates showed less than 29%. According to the trichloroacetic acid soluble-N, volatile component intensity and sensory evaluation, when compared to control, taste of P4-treated hydrolysates improved, while its fish odor strongly smelt. Therefore, for efficient use of P4-hydrolysates, the fish odor should be improved by Maillard reaction of extracts or pre-treatment of salmon frame.

This study investigated the potential of collagenous protein fractions (CPFs) as functional foods. The specific CPFs studied were recovered from the roe of bastard halibut (BH), Paralichthys olivaceus; skipjack tuna (ST), Katsuwonus pelamis; and yellowfin tuna (YT), Thunnus albacares through the alkaline solubilization process at pH 11 and 12. The buffer capacity, water-holding capacity and solubility of CPFs with pH-shift treatment were significantly better at alkaline pH (10-12) than at acidic pH (2.0). At pH-shift treatment (pH 2 and 12), the foaming capacities of CPFs from ST and YT were improved compared to those of controls, but they were unstable compared to BH CPFs. The emulsifying activity index (EAI, $m^2/g$ protein) of CPFs (controls) was 16.0-21.1 for BH, 20.1-23.9 for ST and 9.3-13.7 for YT (P<0.05). CPFs adjusted to pH 12 showed improved EAI and YT CPFs showed significantly greater emulsifying ability than those from BH and ST. CPFs recovered from fish roe are not only protein sources but also have a wide range of food functionalities, confirming the high availability of fish sausage and surimi-based products as protein or reinforcing materials for functional foods and alternative raw materials.

The present study compared the sensory and physicochemical characterizations of Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma roe according to the L, M, S, 2S, KA, KB, KC, and G grades. The mean weights of the Alaska pollock roe were 81.2 g (74.1-85.7 g) in the L grade, 48.4 g (41.1-54.8 g) in the M grade, 38.6 g (33.5-45.6 g) in the S grade, 29.3 g (25.7-34.2 g) in the 2S grade, 45.7 g (41.4-50.0 g) in the KA grade, 41.4 g (37.7-46.1 g) in the KB grade, 38.3 g (36.0-42.6 g) in the KC grade, and 15.0 g (14.2-15.6 g) in the G grade. The results of the sensory (transparency, physical damage, texture, and odor) and physicochemical (moisture, amino nitrogen and volatile basic nitrogen contents, Hunter redness, and texture) evaluations revealed that, in the normal group, the quality of Alaska pollock roe was highest in the L grade followed by the M, S, and 2S grades whereas, in the cut-group order, the quality was highest in the KA grade followed by the KB, KC, and G grades. The present results suggest that the L, M, S, 2S, KA, and KB grades could be used for high-quality Alaska pollock roe products.

Busan is a representative of ocean cities in South Korea, which attracts many Chinese tourists. As a number of Chinese tourists increase, Chinese tourists' evaluations of sightseeing resources in Busan appear extremely important. However, there are few researches on Chinese tourists' evaluations of sightseeing in Busan. The purpose of this paper is to analyze Chinese tourists' evaluations of Busan tourism. Chinese tourists who travel to Busan are chosen as research objects and several aspects including marine, fisheries and general tourism are investigated to evaluate the tourists' overall satisfaction of the tourism in Busan. IPA analysis, factor analysis multiple regression analysis are used for the research. The results are as follows. Chinese tourists' evaluations of the importance and performance level of variables on Busan tourism were significantly different (total 19 of 25 variables) and the performance was lower than importance. This means the outputs of the various Busan tourism elements do not live up to their expectations. The findings show that Chinese visitors have high satisfaction on infrastructures of fisheries tourism (e.g. cleanness of aquatic product tourism facilities and sanitary state on fishery products), but low satisfaction in terms of the contents (e.g. unique cooking method experience of seafood and traditional seafood cooking consumption). The factors of fisheries tourism (e.g. product services of fisheries tourism and the attractiveness of seafood in Busan) never affect their satisfaction and intention to revisit and recommend the city.

Olive flounder contains rich amount of lysine which is required for children's growth. Moreover, it is good foodstuffs for elderly, convalescent and diabetics because of low lipid content and high digestibility. This study was investigated for the purpose of obtaining basic data which can be applied to the processing of olive flounder steak. Olive flounder 100 g were chopped, mixed with vegetable (onion 20%, celery 10%, carrot 15%, garlic 1% of chopped olive flounder meat) and ingredient (bread crumbs 20 g, onion 15 g, celery 10 g, egg 1 ea, tarragon 1/2 t, blanc sauce 20 g, fresh cream 20 mL, salt and pepper pinch). Mixed dough was molded into steak shape ($12{\times}7cm$) and was processed by two types of products, Steak-1 {Roasting for 2 minutes in a frying pan wrapped with olive oil and then vacuum packaging in polyethylene film ($20{\times}30{\times}0.05mm$), and then storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, next thawed and warmed by microwave for 2 minutes} and Steak-2 {vacuum-packaging in polyethylene film ($20{\times}30{\times}0.05mm$), and then storage at $-20^{\circ}C$ for 7 days, after thawed, roasted during 2 minutes in a frying pan wrapped with olive oil}. The factors such as pH, TBA value, amino-N, free amino acid, chemical composition, color value (L, a, b), texture profile, sensory evaluation and viable bacterial count of the olive flounder steak (Steak-1, Steak-2) were measured. From the result of sensory evaluation, Steak-2 showed a bit more high scores than Steak-1 but it was difficult to distinguish significant difference (color, odor, taste, texture and acceptance) between Steak-1 and Steak-2 products.

This study was conducted to provide the information necessary for the development of native local foods associated with the "2008 World Insect Festival in Hampyeong" and to contribute to the efforts to market the festival as tourist attraction and increase the income of the local community. To assess the local foods and restaurants, we investigated the principal products, inclination for sightseeing and recognition of the "Butterfly festival" by distributing questionnaires to local restaurant operators, employees and general tourists. The result was as follows: 1. The general tourists chose scenery as the most important factor in a sightseeing tour, followed by food, lodging, and transportation. 2. The tourists enjoyed eating native local foods, and they indicated that the taste was important. 3. Regarding the cost of food, 53.6% of the respondents answer that 10 to 20 thousand won was a resonable price, and they also reported wanting to eat seafood in Hampyeong. Thus the Menu of seafood to be served at the Hampyeong festival needs to be developed first followed by that of the healthy food. This result showed that individuals prefer fish to meat and healthy food to high-calorie foods.

This study was conducted to improve the fish odor of extracts obtained from salmon frame. Salmon frame extracts were prepared using four kinds of pretreated salmon frame (salmon frame soaked in soybean milk and fried salmon frame) or containing additives (cystine and xylose-added salmon frame, and methionine and xylose-added salmon frame). Among the extracts prepared in this study, extracts containing cystine and xylose had the highest volatile component intensity and odor sensory score. These suggested that the fish odor of salmon frame extracts can be reduced by adding cystine and xylose before extraction.

This study was conducted to investigate optimal conditions for preparation of extracts from salmon frame using an autoclave. According to the results of various extraction conditions (extraction method, extraction time, volume and pH of extraction solution, and necessity of re-extracting), higher quality extracts could be prepared by adding salmon frame into 3 times (vol/wt) of water to raw material, and then autoclaving for 4 hrs before filtering extracts with cheese cloth. For efficient use as basic materials of liquid or powder Gomtang, however, fish odor of the extracts prepared under optimal condition should be improved.
