This study was conducted to compare the sensory and enzymatic properties of Israeli carp Cyprinus carpio muscle (ICM) according to size [normal large (NLF) and small fish (NSF)], part [ventral (VM) and dorsal muscles (DM)], and commercial value [NLF, recessive (RF), or deformed fish (DF)]. There was not difference in salty of all samples. The sourness was stronger in NLF and DM than in NSF, RF, and DF, and VM, respectively. The umami of ICM showed no size-associated differences; however, those of DM, and DF and RF, were superior to those of the VM and NLF, respectively. The sweetness was also stronger in NLF than in NSF and RF, and in DM than VM. The sweetness of DF didn't differ compared to those of NLF and RF. The intensity of fish odor was weaker in NSF or DF than that in NLF, and was higher in DM than in VM. The color of ICM was bright in NSF and DF compared to NLF. Enzyme activity was very low in the muscles and high in viscera. Therefore, ICM could be used as a material for seafood products, regardless of size, part, and commercial value; however, the issue of lipid oxidation must be considered.

The surge in online seafood consumption has increased parcel delivery, leading to a need to implement effective preservation methods. As the cold chain system is not fully established in Korea, styrofoam boxes and cold packs are commonly used for low-temperature seafood distribution. The impact of cold packs on product preservation depends on the number utilized. Herein, the freshness of vacuum-packed frozen fish fillets (Paralichthys olivaceus and Scomber japonicus) stored at 25±0.5℃ for up to 84 h was measured. Chemical (pH and volatile base nitrogen), microbiological (viable cell count), and physical (odor intensity) properties were assessed using 2 or 4 cold packs in a styrofoam box. Four cold packs yielded lower values, indicating superior freshness, and extended fish freshness by approximately 12 h compared with two cold packs. Therefore, it is recommended to use a minimum of 4 cold packs (-350 g/cold pack) in a styrofoam box for distributing approximately 300 g of frozen fish fillets at room temperature during the summer, considering an average delivery period of 2 days in Korea.

Alaska Pollack (Theragramma), Mackerel (Socomber japonicus), yellow corvenia (Pseudosc iance manchurica) were dressed, and then meat was separated from the other parts through a fish meat separator. After dehydration, the meat was ground with a silent cutter, packaged in polyethylene bags, and stored at -15。C for days. Samples were taken at regular intervals throughout the storage period and investigated for changes in puality characteristics such as the amounts of nitrogenous compounds, degree of lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition, and organoleptic factors. The resrlts obtained in this study were as follows; 1. The volatile basic nitrogen[VBN] contents of Alaska pollack, and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased from 14.4, 11.2 and 10.8mg% to 41.6, 38.3 and 40.6mg%, respectively during a 120 day storage period, whereas the trimethylamine oxide nitrogen [TMAO-N] contents decreased from 117.2, 12.8 and 17.2mg% to 40.3, 2.6 and 7.1mg% during the same period. 2. The TBA value of the mackerel meat paste showed a maximum peak after 60 days, and then decreased gradually, whereas the TBAvalues of the alaska pollack and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased steadily during the same period. The acid values of the meat pastes increased during the storage period, while the iodine values decreased. 3. The fatty acid composition of the total lipid of the meat pastes changed considerably during ghe 120 days storage period : saturated fatty acids in the total lipid such as myristic, palmitic, and stearic acid increased, while unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, gadoleic, eicosapentaenoic, erucic and docosahexaenoic acid decreased steadily. The initial percentage contents of the unsaturated fatty acids in the total lipid of the Alaska pollack, mackerel, and yellow corvenia meat pastes were 87.2%, 63.9%, and 75.9% respectively. However, the contents decreased to 46.0%, 42.5% and 51.3% after the 120day storage period. 4. The color of the meat pastes changde gradually into dark brown. L values of the meat paste measured with a thistimulus colorimeter decreased steadily during the storage period, while a and b values increased during same period. 5. Judging from the results of organoleptic evaluation on the fish odor, color and overall acceptability, significant difference were found between the odor and color of the mackerel and those of the yellow corvenia meat pastes. Overall acceptability score of yellow corvenia was higher than that of Alaska pollack or mackerel meat pastes.

This study was conducted to improve functional properties of salmon frame extracts using various commercial enzymes (Alkalase 2.4 L FG, Flavourzyme 500 MG, Neutrase 0.8 L and Protamex 1.5 MG). The ACE (angiotensin I converting enzyme) inhibitory activity was the highest ($IC_{50}=0.67mg/mL$) in the product incubated with Neutrase for 4 hrs (N4-treated hydrolysates) among the various extracts incubated with commercial enzymes for different times. However, antioxidant activities of all salmon frame extracts were less than 15%. There were no significant differences in the proximate composition and sensory evaluation of the fish odor and taste. However, N4-treated hydrolysate was improved in the extractive-nitrogen content and transmission compared to the other enzymatic hydrolysates. When compared to commercial Gomtang products, N4-treated hydrolysate was also high in protein, extractive-nitrogen, total amino acid, and calcium contents, while low in taste sensory score. There were no differences in transmission and sensory score on the fish odor between N4-treated hydrolysates and commercial Gomtang.

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.

Purpose: This study analyzed and compared the physico-chemical and affective properties between mackerels cooked by an electric pan and under superheated steam. Methods: Mackerel were cooked by an electric pan ($95^{\circ}C$) for 10 min and mackerel cooked under superheated steam ($250^{\circ}C$) for 5 min to be internal temperatures of $75{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and tests to measure proximate composition, color values, texture profiles, microorganism counts and sensory acceptance were performed. Results: The moisture contents were 60.30% and 73.81% in mackerels cooked by electric pan and under superheated steam, respectively. The rate of weight loss in mackerel cooked by electric pan was 39%, whereas it was 29% in mackerel cooked under superheated steam. Mackerel cooked under superheated steam exhibited more yellowness, higher springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness, and resilience with more acceptable preferences (appearance, odor, taste, and texture) compared to the mackerel cooked by electric pan. Conclusion: The application of superheated steam technology to fish products could reduce the cooking time and nutritional loss. Also, it could produce highly preferred fish products compared to that prepared by conventional electric pan.

Soy sauce, a basic ingredient in Asian cuisine, is made of fermented soybeans, salt, water, and barley or wheat flour. The sensory characteristics of soy sauce are not only determined through its main ingredients but also by various flavor compounds produced during the fermentation process. This study was conducted to identify the sensory attributes of five different commercial soy sauce samples that differ in Meju types (traditional Meju or modified Meju) and usage types. Thirty three sensory attributes, including appearance (1), odor (16), flavor (14), and mouthfeel (2) attributes, were generated and evaluated by eight trained panelists. The collected data were analyzed by analysis of variance and principal component analysis. There were significant differences in the intensities of all sensory attributes among the soy sauce samples. Soy sauce made with traditional Meju had high intensity of fermented fish, beany, musty odors and salt, Cheonggukjang, fermented fish flavors. Whereas two soy sauces made with modified Meju were strong in alcohol, sweet, Doenjang, roasted soybean flavors. Two soy sauces for soup made with modified Meju had medium levels of briny, sulfury, fermented odors and bitter, chemical flavors and biting mouthfeel characteristic.

Food waste in school foodservices is an important factors in managing expense and in evaluating the acceptance of served meals. This study was undertaken to investigate the management of food waste and the opinion of dietitians in one hundred fourty nine elementary school foodservices, in Pusan, Korea. When serving places were compared, the classroom generated more leftover and plate waste than those of lunchroom(p<0.05). In rank for generating raw waste, the residue from vegetables was the highest in first order. Fruit, eggs, fish, and shell fish also left the most raw waste, respectively, in descending order. The residue that generated the most plate waste in the first and the second order was from soup and pot stew, and vegatables side dishes, respectively. The treatment process of food waste which was the most common in school foodservices was the fertilization by processing machine in order to make recyclable fertilizer(52.1%). Food waste at 30.8% of foodservices was processed for live stock feed. At 92.3% of investigated foodservices, food waste water was drained through a round net basket. Before treating as a waste, food residue was recycled at only 41.9% of foodservices. The main utilization of food residue was the production of soap from used oil. Most dietitians in school foodservices recognized that treating food waste was not so inconvenient, although, the problems of odor and hygiene were not solved. They also thought that the liquid residue(54.1%) and oil(30.4%) among food waste were primarily responsible for resulting environmental pollution.

Quality of meaty textured fish protein concentrate (MT-FPC) prepared from filefish. Navodon modestus, and sandfish. Arctoscopus japonicus, was investigated. The stability of the product during storage under various conditions was evaluated with rehydration capacity, thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value and browning colour density. MT-FPC packed in glass bottle with air and stored at room temperature showed no significant differences in TBA value, rehydration capacity and browning colour density during the storage period of 90 days. The jelly strength of product prepared from filefish was weaker than that of sandfish: and beef meat could be substituted with MT-FPC up to 50% in making hamburger and fried meat balls without a significant loss in taste, odor and texture.

We explored preprocessing-mediated quality changes in red snow crab fish sauce. A control (C) group and groups treated with autolysis (A), boiling (B), enzymatic hydrolysis (E), and addition of Aspergillus oryzae (K) were formed. The titratable acidity of the K group increased with storage time, whereas that of groups C, A, B, and E decreased. The total and amino nitrogen contents initially increased on storage of all samples, but decreased in later periods. The total plate count (TPC) of the K group was initially 5.26 log CFU/mL and increased to 7.28 log CFU/mL at 3 months of storage. The TPCs of the C, A, B, and E groups were initially <5.00 log CFU/mL and decreased with storage. The lactic acid bacteria count of the K group was initially 4.80 log CFU/mL and increased until month 5 to approximately 6.06 log CFU/mL. The K group scored higher in terms of sensory attributes than the other groups and maintained marketable scores for all relevant properties (color, flavor, off-odor, and overall acceptance). Furthermore, the free amino acid content of the K group was the highest among all groups at approximately 3,000 mg per 100 g. These results suggest that K treatment may be beneficial in the preparation of fermented fish sauce.
