To evaluate the effects of surimi substitution to spent laying hen crushed breast meat on the quality of the Cremi during storage, this study was conducted. Spent laying hen breast meat was crushed using a silent cutter, which is normally adapted to the sausage process. The Cremis were manufactured by the addition of 5 or 10% CSBM and separated to three different groups including control and 5 (05CM) and 10% crushed meat (10CM) treatments. All cremis were packaged and stored at $10{\pm}1^{\circ}C$ for 3 weeks, and the analysis for the determination of physicochemical and sensory properties of cremi was conducted on week 0 and 3 of storage only. Moisture content was significantly differed depending on storage days and both 05CM and 10CM had high moisture content as compared to that of control (p<0.05). In addition, TBARS was lowered when surimi was substituted up to 10% CM as compared to cremis manufactured by the addition of 5% CM. The cremis sampled from 05CM and 10CM treatments had low in CIE $a^*$, in contrast showed high in CIE $b^*$ than control (p<0.05). The substitution of surimi to CM did not influence on sensory characteristics even though shear force and gel characteristics were affected (p<0.05). In conclusion, the results indicate that although significantly lowered shear force and gel characteristics were determined in 05CM cremis (p<0.05), trained sensory panels did not recognize the differences of 5 or 10% CM addition. Therefore, it seems that the substitution of surimi up to 10% CM may be secured and economically considerable.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pH adjustment and addition of sodium chloride (NaCl) on quality characteristics of pork leg surimi. The pork leg surimi was manufactured with one of following pH 3.0 or pH 11.0 adjustment and contained 2% NaCl or not; C (Alaska pollack surimi, two times washing, 0% NaCl), T1 (pork leg surimi pH 3.0 adjustment, 0% NaCl), T2 (pork leg surimi, pH 3.0 adjustment, 2% NaCl), T3 (pork leg surimi, pH 11.0 adjustment 0% NaCl), T4 (pork leg surimi, pH 11.0 adjustment, 2% NaCl). The $L^*$ and W values was increased with increasing of pH value, but the $a^*$ and $b^*$ values lower. The W values were higher (p<0.05) as addition of NaCl, but $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were lower. In textural properties, the cohesiveness was increased with increasing of pH value, however with the exception of springiness all traits were higher (p<0.05) as addition of NaCl. The breaking force and gel strength was increased with increasing of pH value. The breaking force, gel strength and breaking force u deformation were higher as addition of NaCl, but shear force lower. In sensory evaluation, the tenderness was increased with increasing of pH value and all traits of sensory evaluation also were higher (p<0.05) as addition of NaCl. There were no differences in interaction of pH adjustment and without or with NaCl on color, textural properties, breaking force, deformation, gel strength, shear force and sensory evaluation of pork leg surimi. The color, textural and physical characteristics and sensory evaluation ot T2 and T4 were similar to treatment C. Therefore, the pH 11.0 and 2% NaCl addition on process of manufacture of pork leg surimi would be recommended.

Purpose : To retrospectively evaluate the usefulness of diffusion-weighted images, ADC maps and conventional MR images for determination of brain tumor consistency. Materials and Methods : Twenty-three patients with brain tumor underwent MR examinations with T1, T2 and diffusion-weighted images. Regions of interest (ROIs) were drawn in the tumors, and the measured signal intensities (SI) were normalized with the contralateral side. We evaluated the correlation between SI ratios from various images and tumor consistency assessed at surgery. In three patients with both cystic and solid components, each component was evaluated independently. Qualitatively observed SIs were also correlated with tumor consistency. Results : Statistical analysis revealed significant correlation between tumor consistency and ADC ratio (r = -0.586, p = 0.002), SI ratios on T2-weighted images (r = -0.497, p = 0.010), and observed SIs on T2-weighted images (r = -0.461, p = 0.018). The relative ratio of ADC value correlated with tumor consistency most strongly. Conclusion : The measured ratio of ADC, SI ratio and observed SI grade on T2-weighted images can provide valuable information about the consistency of brain tumor.

This study was conducted to determine the effect of pH adjustment and the addition of cryoprotectants on the quality characteristics of chicken breast surimi. We prepared surimi from Alaska pollack, as a the control, by two time washing times and the addition of cryoprotectants. Different preparations of surimi were manufactured by adjusting to pH 11.0 and the addition of different addition cryoprotectants during frozen storage (T1 : 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate, T2: 4% sugar, 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate, and T3: 2% salt, 4% sugar, 5% sorbitol and 0.3% polyphosphate). The moisture content was significantly lower in the control and T3 samples. The crude protein content was increased with storage times. The crude protein was higher in the control. The water-holding capacity, myofibrillar protein and shear force were significantly higher in T3 than other surimi samples. All gel characteristics were significantly higher in the control and T3 than other surimi samples. pH 11.0 adjusted chicken breast surimi had greater lightness than the control, and T3 samples had the highest lightness and whiteness. Sensory evaluations were significantly higher in the control and T3 than the other samples. The gel, and physical characteristics and sensory evaluation of T3 were similar to the control. T3 samples had superior color and pH than the control Alaska pollack surimi.

This study was carried out to compare the physico-chemical and sensory characteristics of surimi manufactured by four different materials. We prepared surimi from alaska pollack, as the control, by washing method. The different treatments of surimi were manufactured by pH 11.0 adjustments with barren hen breast meat(T1), commercial mechanically deboned chicken meat(MDCM)-S. Co. (T2)and MDCM- J. Co.(T3). Whiteness, cohesiveness and overall acceptability were significantly higher but gumminess, chewiness and gel characteristics were significantly lower in control than other surimi samples(P<0.05). Lightness, brittleness, deformation, jelly strength and flavor were higher but texture properties and folding test of T1 were lower than those of other treatments(P<0.05). Texture properties, shear force and gel characteristics were higher, while deformation and acceptability of T2 were lower than those of other treatments(P<0.05). On the other hand, cohesiveness was higher, and lightness and whiteness were lower in T3 than those of other treatments(P<0.05). Correlation coefficients(>0.9) among texture properties and gel characteristics was positive, while negative among surface surimi colors(P<0.05). The content of crude protein, cohesiveness and gel characteristics indicated that the acceptable surimi can be made is replaced barren hen breast meat and MDCM.

The Present study has been carried out to investigate the effect of refrigerated seawater (RSW) at $-1^{\circ}C$ in order to delay spoilage and extend the shelf-life in Sardine(Sardinops melanosticta). The result obtained are summarized as follows : In case of freshness, K-value was shown above $30\%$ at 1 day of storage by icing, but in RSW system was shown $20\%$ until 2 days by storage. VBN and TMA were also shown the similar tendency when compared to K-value. The lipids extracted from sardine muscle held in ice was oxidized much more than those in RSW system by way of chemical test such as TBA and POV. The myofibrillar protein extracted from sardine stored in RSW system was denaturized more slowly compared with those by ice. $Ca^{2+}-ATPase$ activity indicated that myofibrillar protein held in RSW system was more stable than those held in ice. Total viable counts for sardine in RSW system showed an overall lower values. By TPA(Textural Porfile Analysis) , sardine meat pastes held in RSW system have a higher value than those held in ice.

To effectively utilize fish skin wastes from marine manufactory, the optimal extraction conditions to prepare gelatin from fish skins of Alaska pollack, cod and yellowfin sole were investigated. In addition, the physical properties of the fish skin gelatins prepared under the optimal extraction conditions were compared with the commercial animal skin gelatin. The conditions for extraction of gelatins from fish skins were as follows ; The skins were limed with 1.0~1.5%(w/v) calcium hydroxide solution. The fish skin gelatins were extracted with 6~7 volumes of water(pH 6.0~7.0) for 5hrs at $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$, and the yield of Alaska pollack skin gelatin extracted under the above conditions was higher than those of cod and yellowfin sole skins. The heavy metal contents, jelly strength and electric conductivities of fish skin gelatins were lower than those of a commercial gelatin(bovine skin), but the viscosity and isoelectric point were higher. The amount of amino acid in fish skin, such as gelatin, glutamic acid, serine, threonine, methionine and cysteine, were higher than those in pig and ox skin. However, the contents of hydroxyproline and proline were lower.

The effect of additional amounts of subsidiary materials on texture of fish meat paste were examined using Instron Universal Testing Machine to obtain fundamental data for steamed Alaska pollack meat paste showing good qualify. The hardness revealed the good correlation with jelly strength among the six kinds of parameters of Instron texturometer. Products with higher hardness showed a better quality, but those with hardness higher than 16 kg showed decreasing quality with increasing hardness. Predicting the quality of steamed Alaska pollack meat paste with various additional amounts of subsidiary materials as a function of hardness, H, the equation could be deduced as follows: H=11.56+0.54 Xcs, H=12.22-0.23 Xsp and H=11.65-7.13 Xpp. The reasonable equations for predicting the duality of steamed Alaska pollack meat paste with various additional amounts of mixed subsidiary materials could be summarized as follows : H=11.57+0.53Xcs+0.44Xsp, H=11.97-1.83Xpp-0.17Xcs, and H=11.58十0.08Xpp-0.23 Xsp. (Xcs; added amount of corn starch, Xsp: added amount of soy protein isolate, Xpp; added amount of polyphosphate)

As a part of investigation for quality improvement of surimi gel from fish with a red muscle by addition of calcium-based powder from fish bone, we investigated the processing condition of calcium-fortified mackerel surumi gel and its quality stability during storage at $5^{\circ}C$. Judging from the results of the soluble calcium content and jelly strength, the reasonable addition concentration of calcium-based powder from Alaska pollack bone for improvement of functional properties in surimi gel was revealed 0.9% on the weight basis of the chopped mackerel meat. The soluble calcium content of the calcium-fortified surimi gel (105.0 mg/100 g) was more than that of the ordinary surumi gel (2.9 mg/100 g). During cold storage of calcium-fortified surumi gel, the moisture contents, amino acid compositions, soluble calcium and phosphorus contents were little changed, the pH, volatile basic nitrogen contents, histamine contents, peroxide values and brown pigment formation were slightly increased and viable cell counts and coliform groups were not detected. The calcium-fortified surimi gel was superior in the lysine and calcium contents, EPA and DHA compositions to the ordinary surumi gel. Judging from the results, it was suggested that calcium-fortified surumi gel was nutritive, functional and safety foods.
