MICROSCOPIC OBSERVATIONS OF FAT TRANSLOCATION IN THE TISSUE OF YELLOW CORVENIA DURING SALTING AND DRYING

"굴비" 제조과정중의 지방의 이동에 대한 조직학적 관찰

Salted and dried yellow corvenia(Pseudosciaena manchurica), so called 'Gul-bi', is one of nation-widely consuming fish foo::ls. It is suitable for a long term preservation and its pro-duce is also a great deal on sea food processing in this country. The texture of 'Gul-bi', however, have often appeared to be a delicate factor for the quality of the product. The loss or dislocation of fat in the tissue of the fish resulted by salting and drying is believed to profoundly relate to the texture of product. In this paper, the tissue of yellow corvenia and movement of fat were microscopically observed before salting, immediately after salting, and after drying and the results observed in the tissues dry salted, brine salted, and brine salted with the addition of BHA were compared. The cross section of yellow corvenia muscle showed that a distinctive border by connective tissue between white and red muscle could not be seen in general, and red muscle was surrounded by hypodermic fatty tissues. In the tissue of fresh yellow corvenia, the fat was mainly distributed in hypodermic fat layer which located under the corium while rarely distributed in white muscle. It was found that some parts of the fat in the tissue were permeated into intermuscular tissue passing through the connective tissues during salting. The result Was the same in both dry-salting and brine-salting tissue. However, the fat translocated into intermuscular tissues disappeared during drying process in the salted without BHA tissues whereas in BHA added tissue. This result suggested that BHA may take a role of multiple effect in translocation of fat in tissues as well as in retarding oxidation. In an advanced stage of salted and dehydration, the muscle fibers were ajoined together and then limits between muscle fibers already became indistinguishable. And the migrated fat into intermuscular tissue aggregated around the connective tissue and are apt to gradually to flow out from the muscular system through these tissues.

"굴비" 제조과정중 근섬유의 변화와 지방의 분포 및 이동상태를 조직학적으로 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 생조기는 진피 밑에 피하지방층이 있으며, 혈합육이 지방조직으로 둘러 쌓여 있는 곳이 많다. 대부분의 지방질은 피하지방층에 축적되어 있고, 백색육에는 거의 지방이 분포하지 않았다. 또한 혈합육과 백색육간에 결체조직으로 경계가 이루어지지 않아, 어떤 부위에는 혈합육과 백색육의 경계가 뚜렷하지 않은것 등이 특징이었다. "굴비" 제조과정중 염장공정중에는 피하지방의 일부가 결체조직이나 근섬유간을 통로로하여 침투되어 들어간다. 그러나 건조공노중 침투된 지방은 결체조직을 따라 이동하여 복공을 통하여 외부로 유출한다고 볼 수 있다. 그러므로 "굴비"의 심부백색육에는 거이 지방이 분포하지 않았다 . BHA 처리 "굴비"는 지방의 이동속도가 늦어, 내부에 침투된 지방이 상당양 그대로 잔존하였다. 그리고 "굴비"의 근육조직은 각섬유가 씨로 밀착하여 경계가 뚜렷하지 않는 것을 관찰 할 수 있다. 또한 "굴비" 제품중에는 상당량 지방이 주로 피하지방층에 함유되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 끝으로 본실험에 있어, 조개표본을 제작하는데 편의를 보아주신 부대학교 의과대학 해부학교실 박 해춘하 재청 양교수 그리고 현징경 사진촬영을 도와 주신 국립수산진흥원 김 성준 연구관, 김 복원 연구교사 몇 많은 조언을 주신 부산수산대학 김장양 교수, 신필현 교수에게 심심한 사의를 표한다.
