The purpose of this study was to develop a seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot(a kind of salted and fermented fish) with chitosan having less fishy smell and salty taste. In order to decrease the fishy smell and increase the palatable taste effectively, four types of seasoning were developed, in which minced ginger, garlic and onion were included. In order to improve the color and flavor of seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot, high-quality powdered hot red pepper was also added in all the seasonings. Seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot type 1 had the oil and roasted powder of sesame, which are known to decrease fishy smell and palatable taste, and was the basis of other seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot. Type 2 had the oil and roasted powder of perilla, which also were known to decrease fishy smell and to increase palatable taste effectively. Type 3 had roasted soybean powder and laver to increase savory and palatable taste. It was developed especially for old and young people who like savory taste. Type 4, containing citron syrup, was for the young and children. All the developed seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot samples had better red color and other sensory properies than the control (S-company's seasoned Hwangseoke-jeot), as tested by colorimetry and sensory evaluation. More than 1% (w/v) of chitosan gave an astringent taste to seasoning, so it is recommended not to exceed 1% (w/v) in the seasoning. The developed functional seasonings of jeot would be applicable to other kinds of jeot.

In this study, gamma-irradiated mackerel (Scomber japonicus) meat was stored in a refrigerator for 20 days to examine the physicochemical changes related to fishy smell. The effect of gamma irradiation on the inhibition of the activity of crude urease extracted from Vibrio parahaemolyticus was also evaluated. Increased levels of trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content, which are the main components causing fishy smell, were significantly reduced by day 20 of storage after gamma irradiation, indicating that freshness was maintained during storage. The ammonia nitrogen contents of 3, 7, 10, and 20 kGy gamma-irradiated groups were significantly decreased by 6.5, 15.2, 17.4, and 23.9%, respectively, compared to non-irradiated groups on day 20 of storage. In addition, urease activity decreased in a gamma irradiation intensity-dependent manner. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured during the storage of gamma-irradiated mackerel meat. The contents of ethanol, 2-butanone, 3-methylbutanal, and trans-2-pentenal, which are known to cause off-flavors due to spoilage of fish, were significantly reduced by day 20 of storage. Therefore, gamma irradiation can be considered useful for inhibiting urease activity and reducing fishy smell during fish storage.

In this study, the physicochemical changes related to fishy smell were determined by storing high hydrostatic pressure (HHP)-treated mackerel (Scomber japonicus) meat in a refrigerator for 20 days. The inhibition of crude urease activity from Vibrio parahaemolyticus using HHP treatment was also investigated. The mackerel meat storage experiment demonstrated that production of trimethylamine (TMA) and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), the main components of fishy smell, was significantly reduced on the 20th day of storage after the HHP treatment compared to the untreated mackerels. The results demonstrated that the increased ammonia nitrogen rates in the 2000, 3000, and 4000 bar, HHP-treated groups decreased by 23.8%, 23.8%, and 31.0%, respectively, compared to the untreated groups. The enzyme activity of crude urease was significantly reduced in the HHP-treated group compared to that in the untreated group. Measurement of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in mackerel meat during storage indicated that the content of ethanol, 2-butanone, 3-methylbutanal, and trans-2-pentenal, which are known to cause off-flavor due to spoilage, were significantly reduced by HHP treatment. Collectively, our results suggested that HHP treatment would be useful for inhibiting the activity of urease, thereby reducing the fishy smells from fish and shellfish.

This study investigated the quality characteristics of anchovy Engraulis japonicus sauce added with onion to improve flavor, reduce salinity, and enhance the antioxidative activity. 4 samples were prepared to find the proper amount of onion, including a control group without onion and 3 samples with different amounts of onion: 10% (Fs-10), 20% (Fs-20), and 40% (Fs-40). The samples were collected at intervals of 15 days while fermenting at 25℃ for 60 days. As the amount of added onion increased, the browning index decreased, and the flavor of anchovy sauce was enhanced. The composition of amino acids showed high content of glutamate and alanine that can improve the overall taste. In the free radical scavenging activity test, the Fs-40 group showed the highest value, 74.72%, compared to 10.98% of the control in the antioxidative activity. When evaluating overall preference such as color, fishy smell, flavor with richness, and overall acceptability, the control was rated the lowest, while the Fs-40 was rated the highest and was recognized for its overall excellence. Adding onion not only reduced salinity and increased antioxidant activity but also improved overall sensory properties by adding richness and minimizing fishy smell.

The major part of non-commercial food service is food service for school which has no any objective quality standards. Each school has different standard when they buy seafood for SFS(School Food Service). The research purpose is whether or not the extrinsic cues of the seafood such as price, the source origin, company image, safety standards, etc or the intrinsic cues such as fishy smell, the hardiness of fish meat, others have any effect on the seafood evaluation when school nutritionist purchase it, for more objective basis. The research method is distributing questionnaire survey through e-mail or directly visiting the schools from October 30 to November 9, 2007. The questionnaire was distributed to 70 nutritionists of food service for elementary school in Busan. Total 50 questionnaires are used as data in the statistical analysis using SPSS package software. The research results are; First, there is interaction effect between the extrinsic and intrinsic cues of seafood for SFS. That is when the school nutritionist valued on intrinsic cues of seafood such as a fishy smell, the hardiness of fish meat and etc influence on the extrinsic cues such as price, source origin, reliable circulation process, HACCP application, etc. Second, the extrinsic cues of the seafood give no effect on perceived quality. Since seafood for SFS are heavy buying, prearrangement contract and most of them using pre-treated frozen aquatics. Third, the intrinsic cues of the seafood give no effect on perceived quality. The extrinsic cues consist of 5 parts namely "opening about quality", "source origin", "company image", "safety/standards" and "price/package". However, "safety/standard" was the only affecting factor to perceive quality. The reason is that in fact they have no standards or any document proving the quality of the seafood unless safety standards factor. Last, the perceived quality is an important factor for perceived value and purchase intention. It is showed that there is a path to form a willing to buy through the perceived value after school nutritionist recognizes the perceived quality.

Duck down is a feather of waterfowl and is used as an accessory for bedding products such as evil, pillow and outdoor sleeping bags due to its soft and bulky characteristics. Down is used mainly for winter outdoor such as padding and jumpers because of its excellent thermal insulation effect. Down wear is known as a product with high added value. Down is processed and sanitized because a large amount of oil and fat, bacteria, dust, insects, and soil are mixed. In particular, if the proper amount of oil and fat is not removed, it may cause odor or bacteria, and since the fishy smell peculiar to down and harmful VOCs (toluene, benzene, etc.) are released, there is a need to suppress the occurrence of bacteria through the provision of antibacterial function. In this study, we investigated the substances that cause the fishy odor of down, and confirmed the effect on the deodorization and antibacterial properties of down according to processing agents and processing conditions in order to impart deodorant and antibacterial properties to down.

A giant squid has not been utilized in the manufacture of the surimi-based product because of its strong fishy smell and weak gel forming ability. In this study, Amorphophallus konjac flour (AKF) was used to improve the quality of giant squid surimi-based products. The response trace plots showed that the gel texture and water retention ability (WRA) of surimi gel increased as the contents of AKF and surimi increased, whereas the water content decreased. Meanwhile, the whiteness of surimi gel increased as the contents of water and surimi increased, and AKF content decreased. Based on a sensory evaluation, giant squid surimi-products with AKF was inferior in color and taste compared to commercial surimi-based products, This inferiority could be improved by the addition of seasoning ingredients such as sweeteners. AKF successfully removed the fishy smell and improved the surimi gel properties. Therefore, AKF could be used as a food ingredient in surimi-based products.

When manufacturing Alaska pollack Gadus chalcogrammus surimi for 3D printing, it examined the characteristics of physical properties and sensuality by adding polysaccharides alginic acid [0, 1, 2, 3% (w/w)]. As a result of the color value of surimi by adding alginic acid, it showed that the lightness of heated surimi containing 2% (w/w) alginic acid was the highest and ∆E value was the lowest. In the changes in physical properties, the heated surimi of 3% (w/w) alginic acid content showed the lowest values of hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience, but the highest adhesiveness. In the case of fried surimi, its hardness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience were the lowest at the content of 3% (w/w) alginic acid. After 7 days of cold storage, the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of heated surimi with an alginic acid content of 2% (w/w) were significantly higher, and fried surimi was also the same. In the results of the sensory evaluation, there were significant differences according to the alginic acid content in hardness and fishy smell, and as the alginic acid content increased, it felt more fishy smell, resulting in poor preference.
