As a part of investigation for quality improvement of surimi gel from fish with a red muscle by addition of emulsion curd, we investigated the processing conditions of emulsion curd contained succinylated gelatin from conger eel skin as an emulsifier and emulsion curd-added surimi gel. Activity and stability of emulsion curd on standing at room temperature, chilled temperature and vibration were remarkably improved by the addition of 15 tunes of soybean oil and 5 times of water to succinylated gelatin from conger eel skin. The proximate composition of the emulsion curd was moisture 18%, protein 5%, lipid 76% and ash 0.5% and its appearance was white. Peroxide value and fatty acid composition of emulsion curd contained succinylated gelatin as an emulsifier were similar to these of soybean oil. By the addition of 6% of emulsion curd to mackerel surimi, gel strength, appearance and texture of the resulting surimi gel were improved, while its peroxide value and brown pigment revealed minor change. From the results of volatile basic nitrogen, viable cell counts and histamine content, the emulsion curd-added mackerel surimi gel can be safe In the sense of food sanitation.

The pectin content in tangerine peel and the characteristics of extracted pectin and its gel were determined. The pectin contents of citrus peel and citrus albedo were 11.52% and 9.3% on a dry weight basis, respectively The equivalent weight, methoxyl content and acetyl content of the extracted citrus peel pectin were 596, 13.41% and 0.125% respectively. The intrinsic viscosity and molecular weight of extracted citrus peel pectin were higher than those of commercial citrus pectin samples. The anhydrouronic acid content and jelly grade of the extracted pectins were 98.4% and 138.1, respectively. These were higher than those of commercial citrus pectin. In the textural characteristics of gels, the gel made from the extracted pectin was shown to have lower values in hardness, cohesiveness, adhesiveness and gumminess than the gels made from commercial citrus pectins.

The objective of this study was to characterize three different commercial (A, B and C) and two handmade (HM-AP, atmospheric pressure; HM-RP, reduced pressure) strawberry jams in relation to soluble solids, pH, total acid, total polyphenol, anthocyanin, color values, texture properties, and sensory evaluation. The soluble solid contents varied from 62.33 to 68.33 $^{\circ}Brix$, and the pH ranged from 3.59 to 3.70. The color L and a values were the highest in the HM-RP strawberry jam (p<0.05). The total polyphenol contents of commercial jams A, B, and C were 56.10, 97.59, and 105.85 mg GAE/100 g, respectively, and those of the HM-AP and HM-RP of handmade jams were 156.13 and 189.94 mg GAE/100 g. The anthocyanin contents of A, B, and C commercial jams were 1.51, 0.95, and 0.80 mg/100 g, respectively, and those of the HM-AP and HM-RP handmade jams were 2.64 and 9.16 mg/100 g. The phenolic contents of the HM-RP jam were significantly much higher than those of the other jams. The hardness ranged from $5.67{\times}10^3$ (HM-AP jam) to $41.91{\times}10^3$ (jam B) dyne/$cm^2$, the jelly strength ranged from 40.08 (HM-AP jam) to 180.33 (jam B) dyne, and the strength ranged from 83.84 (jam C) to 302.93 (jam B) g. The sensory evaluation of the color, flavor, sweetness, sourness, viscosity and overall acceptability of the HM-RP jam showed higher values than those of the other jams. Especially, the highest value of the color score was found in the HM-RP jam. The electon donating abilities of jams A, B, and C and of the HM-AP and HM-RP jams were 44.27, 41.70, 53.06, 69.08, and 73.21%, respectively. These results indicated that the HM-RP strawberry jam prepared with reduced pressure using micro-oxygen technology was a good source of phenolic compounds, total polyphenols and anthocyanin, and had a high level of antioxidant activity.

Pectin, hesperidin and naringin were extracted from hot air-dried peel ($60^{\circ}C$, 1 hr and air velocity 160 fpm) of citrus produced in Korea in order to see the amount of each component contained in the peel. Pectin was extracted by three different methods and the quality and contents of the pectins were determined respectively. 1. The pectin yield by the total pectic substance method was the highest (26.0% for unshiu (U) and 28.5% for natsudaidai (N) expectedly and the soluble pectic substance method the least (13.5%(U) and 15.6% (N)) The yield by method III (extraction by water at pH 1.5 followed by isopropanol precipitation) was intermediate (18.1% (U) and 20.8%(N)). Anhydrouronic acid (AUA) content was the highest (92.0% (U) and 90.3%(N)) in those by method III. The AUA contents of the other pectins were 80.0% for soluble pectin (for both U and N), 71.6% for the commercial pectin (Sunkist Groups Inc., U.S.A.), 58.0%(N) and 63.4%(U) for total pectic substance. 2. The methoxyl content of total pectic substance was the lowest (4.81%(U) and 4.88%(N)). However, there was no significant difference in methoxyl content among the rest which were found to have low levels(5.27-7.20%). 3. The pectin by method III gave the highest jelly strength. The commercial pectin, soluble pectice substance and total pectic substance were next in order. 4. The hesperidin content of unshiu was 5.07% (dry basis) and the naringin content of natsudaidai 3.03% (dry basis).

Processing conditions of the krill products such as paste food, krill protein concentrate, seasoned dried krill, powdered seasoning, meat ball, and snack have been examined and the quality was evaluated chemically and organoleptically. In the processing of paste food, krill juice was yielded $71\%$ and krill scrap $29\%$. The yields of paste and broth from the krill juice showed $53\%$ and $43\%$, respectively. In amino acid composition of the krill paste, proline, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, lysine, and leucine were abundant, while histidine, methionine, tyrosine, serine and threonine were poor. The optimum condition for solvent extraction in the processing of krill protein concentrate was the 5 times repetitive extraction using isopropyl alcohol at $80^{\circ}C$ for 5 mins. The yield of krill protein concentrate when used fresh frozen materials was $10.2\%$ in isopropyl alcohol solvent and $8.8\% in ethyl alcohol, and when used preboiled frozen materials, the yield was $13.0\%$ in isopropyl alcohol and $11.8\%$ in ethyl alcohol. Amino acid composition of krill protein concentrate showed a resemblance to that of fresh frozen krill meat. In quality comparison of the seasoned dried krill, hot air dried krill was excellent as raw materials and sun dried krill was slightly inferior to hot air dried krill, but preboiled frozen krill showed the poorest quality. The result of quality evaluation for seasoning made by combination of dried powdered krill, parched powdered sesame, salt, powdered beef extract, monosodium glutamate, powdered red pepper and ground pepper showed that the hot air dried krill was good in color and sundried krill was favorable in flavor. When krill meat ball was prepared using wheat flour, monosodium glutamate and salt as side materials, the quality of the products added up to $52\%$ of krill meat was good and the difference in quality upon the results of the organoleptic test for raw materials was not recognizable between fresh frozen and preboiled frozen krill. In the experiment for determining the proper amount of materials such as dried Powdered krill, $\alpha-starch$, sweet potato starch, sugar, salt, monosodium glutamate, glycine, potassium tartarate, ammonium bicarbonate, and sodium bicarbonate in processing krill snack, sample B(containing $7.7\%$ of dried powdered krill) and sampleC (containing $10.8\%$ of dried powdered krill) showed the most palatable taste from the view point of organoleptic test. Sweet potato starch in testing side materials was good in the comparison of suitability for processing krill snack. Corn starch and kudzu starch were slightly inferior to sweet potato starch, while wheat flour was not proper for processing the snack. In the experiment on frying method, oil frying showed better effect than salt frying and the suitable range of frying temperature was $210-215^{\circ}C$.
