Isolation and Identification of fatty acid and volatile compounds in tuna fish oil were successfully carried out using supercritical carbon dioxide. Samples of the oil were extracted in a 56 ml semi-batch stainless steel vessel under conditions which ranged from 80 to 200 bar and 40 to $60^{\circ}C$ with carbon dioxide flows from 10 ml/min. Volatiles in the oil extracted from the samples with supercritical carbon dioxide were analyzed by gas chromatography, mass detector with canister system. The extracts were contained with various fatty acids, 57.0% of unsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid(DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA), and 43.0% of saturated fatty acids. The aroma compounds in the oil showed over 129 peaks, of which 100 compounds were identified. Volatile components included 2,4-hepatadienal(fishy), dimethyldisulfide (unpleasant), dimethyltrisulfide (unpleasant) and 2-nonenal(fatty). The isolation efficiency of the volatile compounds from the samples was 99.4% at $50^{\circ}C$ and 200 bar.

Horse fat was extracted from fatty horse meat at $70^{\circ}C$ under vacuum conditions. The oxidative stability of horse fat was investigated by the addition of 0, 30, 60, and 150 mg/kg of ${\alpha}$-, ${\gamma}$-, or ${\delta}$-tocopherol during storage of 14 days at $65^{\circ}C$ in the dark. Changes of tocopherol concentration and fatty acid composition, peroxide value, and 2-thiobarbituric acid (TBA) value were analyzed during storage. The levels of the added tocopherols were found to decrease during storage. Unsaturated fatty acids contents of horse fat without tocopherol decreased from 60.87% to 57.22% after 14 days. The peroxide value and TBA value increased as storage time increased. The peroxide values of horse fat after addition of 0, 30, 60, and 150 mg/kg of ${\gamma}$-tocopherol were 43.75, 25.17, 20.87, and 15.41 meq/kg, respectively, and the TBA values were 7.87, 5.64, 4.43, and 4.23 mg malonaldehyde (MA)/kg, respectively, after 14 days. At the concentration of 150 mg/kg, both ${\gamma}$- and ${\delta}$-tocopherol impeded the oxidation of horse fat during storage.

The study analyzed the effects of salt concentration [high salt (HS) and low salt (LS)] and sodium nitrite ($NaNO_2$), which are typically utilized in Korean processing facilities, on fatty acid composition, free amino acids, microbial counts and sensory characteristics of processed dry-cured ham. Four different treatments were considered: three hams (11.30 kg) salted with 92 g/kg salt (w/w) (HS), three hams (10.65 kg) treated with HS and 100 ppm $NaNO_2$ (HS+$NaNO_2$), three hams (11.42 kg) salted with 62 g/kg salt (w/w) (LS), and three hams (10.62 kg) treated with LS and 100 ppm $NaNO_2$ (LS+$NaNO_2$). Fatty acid composition analysis revealed significantly (p<0.05) higher saturated fatty acid and lower (p<0.05) unsaturated fatty acid in the HS+$NaNO_2$ group compared with the other groups. Glutamate, alanine and lysine free amino acids were higher than the other free amino acids. The processing conditions did not significantly affect the free amino acids of biceps femoris muscles, except for the proline content (p>0.05). In sensory evaluation, the fermentation aroma of the LS group was higher than that of the HS group. The aerobic counts consistently ranged from from $2.3{\times}10^2$ to $1.11{\times}10^4$ CFU/g. Escherichia coli including strain O157:H7, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella spp. were not detected.
