Lipid oxidation is one of the major factors affecting on deterioration of nutritional quality in dried fish products. In this paper, the relationship between oxidized products of lipid and brown pigments, free amino acids and available lysine during the storage of dried sea eel, Muraesox cinereus, was investigated. And the inhibiting effect of antioxidant to lipid oxidation and its role to the protein quality were also discussed. From the results, TBA and carbonyl value rapidly increased while amino-N and available lysine diminished during hot air drying. This suggests that drying conditions greatly affected to the oxidation of lipid and making amino acids 'unavailable'. TBA value increased up to 20 days, and hereafter gradually diminished. Increase in TBA and carbonyl value and formation of fat oxidative brown pigment were closely related to the loss of free amino-N and available lysine. The loss of available lysine seemed to be affected by the formation of unsaturated carbonyl compounds rather than saturated carbonyl compounds. By the treatment of antioxidant, the loss of amino acids and available lysine was somewhat retarded. This may suggests that the oxidation of lipid or oxidative browning reactions are functioning to the loss of available lysine. In antioxidant treated sample, 23% of amino-N to the total amino-N in the fresh sample was lost after 20 days storage at $30^{\circ}C$ while the loss of amino-N to 39% in case of the control, and afterward the value treated to be slightly reduced or remained steady.

Changes in some qualities of boiled-dried anchovy during storage at $-18^{\circ}C$, $-3^{\circ}C$, $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ and room temperature for 12 months were studied. The monolayer moisture contents were 8.12% and 5.88% at $5^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content was found to be higher at $5^{\circ}C$ and $-3^{\circ}C$ than those values at $10^{\circ}C$, $-18^{\circ}C$ and room temperature. Lipid oxidative browing and Hunter color values of L, a and b were remarkably developed with increase of storage temperature. Judging from organoleptic evaluation boiled-dried anchovy could be preserved in acceptable condition for $4{\sim}6\;months$ at room temperature, $5{\sim}8\;months$ at $10^{\circ}C$, $8{\sim}10\;months$ at $5^{\circ}C$ and 12 months at 7 below $-3^{\circ}C$. During storage at room temperature for 5 months after 7 months storage at $5^{\circ}C$ and $-18^{\circ}C$. VBN concept was increased by 1.03 and 1.38. browning rate by 1.03 and 2.15, and a and b values by $1.21{\sim}1.60 $and $1.02{\sim}2.80$ times in comparison with the basic room temperature, respectively.
