Surimi has been traditionally used as the main ingredient in gelling foods, such as imitation crab sticks. However, it can also be used to manufacture snacks without gelling properties. To assess the properties of surimi as a snack ingredient, we prepared fried fish snacks with different surimi grades of Alaska pollack (AP) and threadfin bream (TB) and evaluated their quality characteristics. AP had significantly higher protein and gel strength values than TB did. Regarding color, TB showed significantly lower lightness (L) values and higher redness (a) and yellowness (b) values than AP did, consistent with the appearance of a brown color. TB had significantly lower hardness values, higher thickness expansion, and higher oil content than AP did. Hardness was found to be positively correlated with gel strength and negatively correlated with oil content. In the micro-structure images, more blistering was formed in TB, indicating higher expansion and crispiness. In the sensory evaluation, TB showed higher overall sensory acceptance than AP did, which is the result of its high color content, crispiness, taste, and aroma. Principal component analysis of the electronic nose and tongue revealed that the samples were clearly separated. In particular, TB had more aromatic components than AP in the electronic tongue. Our findings indicate that gel strength, which determines the quality properties of surimi, does not need to be considered in snack manufacturing. In fact, surimi with low gel strength is a more suitable ingredient for snack manufacturing.

The effects of processing and frozen storage conditions on the quality of anchovy Engraulis japonica fried surimi gels were investigated. Protein content decreased after surimi gel processing from 19.6% (raw meat) to 12.1% (kamaboko) due to the added ingredients and change in water content. Lipid content decreased from 2.8% (raw meat) to 1.3% in minced and 0.5% in surimi, but fried kamaboko showed a 6.9 % lipid level. Thiobarbituric acid values and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were highest in kamaboko samples, 89.5 and 1.9 mg/g solid, and increased gradually with storage time to 101.8 and 4.6 mg/g solid, respectively. In vitro protein digestibility increased from 79.2% in raw anchovy to 88.5% in kamaboko samples. Levels of trypsin inhibitor decreased gradually with processing and during storage time from 2.43 in raw anchovy to 0.31 mg/g solid in the kamaboko sample after 60 days of frozen storage. No noticeable changes in total essential amino acid was observed during processing conditions. Computed protein efficiency ratio for kamaboko was highest (2.59) compared with whole anchovy (1.96), minced (1.94) and surimi (2.50). Fresh fried anchovy kamaboko showed similar values of hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness to commercial surimi gel, but a higher values were seen for fracturability and adhesiveness, and lower values for cohesiveness and resilience. The frozen and thawed anchovy kamaboko showed higher values for all of these rheological parameters compared with fresh and commercial kamaboko. Anchovy kamaboko showed the lowest lightness (62.9) and redness (0.16) and similar yellowness (11.9) compared with commercial kamaboko. Frozen storage and vacuum packaging were effective maintaining the shelf life of anchovy kamaboko within 30 days, but were not effective after 45 days due to fat oxidation.

Transglutaminase(TGase) 첨가가 튀긴 어묵의 레올로지 특성에 미치는 영향이 평가되었다. 최적의 TGase 함량과 setting시간은 저온$(25^{\circ}C)$ setting에서는 0.1%와 180분이었고, 고온$(40^{\circ}C)$ setting에서는 0.3%와 80분으로 각각 결정되었다. 각각의 최적조건에서의 겔 강도는 $25^{\circ}C$에서는 TGase를 첨가한 겔이 첨가하지 않은 겔보다 최대 750(g cm)도 증가했으며, $40^{\circ}C$에서는 약 800(g cm)정도의 증가를 보여주었다. 동적 점탄성의 setting 측정 결과로부터 TGase 첨가 시료는 $25^{\circ}C$인 경우 G#과 G@ 값이 각각 1.0 kPa과 0.5 kPa 정도 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, $40^{\circ}C$ 경우는 G#과 G@ 값이 각각 15 kPa과 2.2 kPa 정도 증가함을 보여 주었다. 동적 점탄성의 가열-냉각 측정 결과에서도 $25^{\circ}C$와 $40^{\circ}C$ setting 모두에서 G#, G@ 값이 $5{\sim}15\;kPa$ 정도 증가함을 나타났다.

Microbial contamination of ready-to-eat ingredients for Kimbab manufacturing and the effect of irradiation to reduce the microbial contamination of the products were investigated. Among 9 food items tested, there were no viable cells in the ham, seasoned and cooked beef, imitation crab leg, fried egg, and seasoned burdoc. Cucumber, surimi gel, and seasoned and blanched spinach were counted at 5.07$\pm$0.97, 3.50$\pm$0.14, and 5.41$\pm$0.51 log CFU/g, respectively. Irradiation at 1 kGy reduced the number of microorganism in these ready-to-eat foods to an undetectable level. However, the dried laver showed an 8.83$\pm$0.10 log CFU/g and an irradiation at 3 kGy reduced the level to only 7.14$\pm$0.23. Sensory evaluation of the irradiated Kimbab prepared from these food materials indicated that the measure of the control of the sensorial quality should be provided before applying an irradiation to the prepared Kimbab.

고품질 어묵의 개발을 위하여 항암성 및 혈압강하작용이 있는 큰 느타리버섯(Pleurotus eryngii)을 각각 0, 5, 10, 15 및 20% 첨가한 튀김 어묵을 제조한 다음 색조 변화, 물성특성 및 관능적 특성을 조사하였다. 큰 느타리버섯의 함유량이 증가할수록 어묵의 색도는 L값은 감소하는 경향, a값은 증가하는 경향 그리고 b값도 대체로 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 또한, 어묵의 유연성을 나타내는 절곡검사의 결과로는 모든 시료에서 AA로 측정되어 큰 느타리버섯의 첨가에 관계 없이 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 물성검사 결과에서, 10%의 팽이버섯을 함유한 어묵에서 강도, 응집성, 탄성, 껌성 및 파쇄성이 가장 높게 관찰되었다. 관능검사의 결과로, 버섯이 첨가할수록 어묵의 향기에 대한 선호도는 높았으나 맛과 조직감에 대한 선호도는 낮게 나타났다. 전체적인 선호도는 큰 느타리버섯 10% 첨가군에서 가장 높았다.
