For the effective use of salmon processing by-products, the food components of muscle around pectoral fin (MAPF) were investigated and compared with those of salmon fillet muscle (SFM). The proximate composition of MAPF was 64.4% for the moisture, 17.2% for the crude protein, 16.2% for the crude lipid and 1.4% for the ash. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content and yield of MAPF were 6.73, 7.8 mg/100 g and 7.4 (g/100 g SFM), respectively. The trichloroacetic acid (TCA) soluble-N content of MAPF was 479 mg/100 g, which was lower than that (612 mg/100 g) of SFM. The Hunter value of MAPF was 54.86 for L value, 22.08 for a value, 22.41 for b value and 52.35 for ${\Delta}$E value, which were similar to those of SFM. The total content in amino acids of MAPF was 17.1 g/100 g, its major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine and lysine. The major fatty acids of MAPF were 16:0, 18:1n-9 and 18:2n-6, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3. No differences were found in the major fatty acids and the major amino acids between MAPF and SFM. The calcium and phosphorus contents of MAPF were 19.1 mg/100 g and 211.7 g/100 g, respectively. These results suggested that MAPF could be used as seafood resources.

The purpose of this study was to determine the possibility of using Oenanthe javanica as a natural health food source. To accomplish this, its general and biological activities were measured. Its carbohydrate, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash contents were 44.7, 9.8, 8.9, and 27.8%, respectively. The K content was largest for minerals followed by Ca, P, and Mg, which means that Oenanthe javanica is an alkali material. The concentrations of total phenol and flavonoids of OJE were $88.9{\pm}0.46$ mg GAE/g, and $28.6{\pm}0.64$ mg QE/g, respectively. Gallic acid, catechin, chlorogenic acid, and caffeic acid in OJE as measured by using HPLC were $0.9{\pm}0.23$, $1.2{\pm}0.19$, $227.1{\pm}0.62$, and $4.0{\pm}0.35$ mg/g. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities of OJE were 72.2%, and 66.1%, respectively, at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. The FRAP and reducing power of OJE were 0.79, and 0.41 absorbance units value respectively, at $1,000{\mu}g/mL$. OJE possessed significant antioxidant properties, which suggests its great potential as a functional ingredient for food applications.

The effects of olive oil on the quality characteristics of pressed ham were investigated. Five different treatments were carried out varying the amount of olive oil added to pressed ham. for the control, 10% back fat among the total ham components was added without any olive oil. For the first treatment, 5% olive oil within the lard component was added into the pressed ham. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th treatments included 10%, 15% and 20% olive oil, respectively. Manufactured pressed hams containing olive oil were vacuum packaged and then stored for 28 days at $4^{\circ}C$. The crude protein and crude fat were not significantly different between the control and olive oil treated hams. The moisture and crude ash contents of olive oil treated hams was significantly lower than that of the control(p<0.05). There was no significant difference in pH between the control and olive oil treated hams. The pH increased during the first 7 days of storage and then decreased somewhat for the remainder of the 28 day storage period for all treatments. The meat color $b^*$ value of olive oil treated hams was higher than that of the control, whereas the meat color $a^*$ value decreased with the inclusion of olive oil. Neither value changed during the period of storage. There was no significant difference in texture between the control and olive oil treated hams throughout the storage period. In summary, pressed ham manufactured with added olive oil showed no change in physico-chemical properties and texture characteristics. Thus, it may be assumed that high quality pressed ham can be manufactured with increased monounsaturated fatty acid content.

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of grape seed oil on quality characteristics of pressed ham. Five different treatments were tested based on differences in the amount of grape seed oil added to the pressed ham. As a control, 10% back fat was added without any grape seed oil. For the first treatment, 10% grape seed oil replaced a portion of the lard component added to the pressed ham. For the 2nd, 3rd and 4th treatments, 20%, 30% and 40% of grape seed oil were substituted for lard, respectively. Pressed ham manufactured with grape seed oil was vacuum packaged and stored for 1, 7, 14,21 and 28 d at $4^{\circ}C$. Samples were analyzed for chemical composition, physico-chemical properties (pH, color) and texture characteristics. Typical chemical composition characteristics (crude protein, crude fat, crude ash) were not significantly different between control and grape seed oil treatment groups. Moisture content of grape seed oil treatment groups (GSO 30% and 40%) was significantly lower than that of controls (p<0.05). There was a not clear difference in pH between control and grape seed oil treatment groups. In the 21 d of storage, pH values of all treatments were significantly higher than those of other storage days. Meat color $(CIEL^*\;and\;b^*)$ of grape seed oil treatment group (GSO 40%) was significantly higher than that of control. Whereas meat color a value of GSO 40% treatment was significantly lower than that of control. It was not clearly changed as storage time increased. There was no significant difference in texture between control and grape seed oil treatment groups, and appeared to be unaffected by storage length. Based on these findings, we conclude that the chemical composition and texture characteristics of manufactured pressed ham were not affected by grape seed oil addition. These results also indicate that high-quality pressed ham can be manufactured with increased polyunsaturated fatty acid content.

Chemical components relevant to the characteristic taste of the Korean native persimmon(Diospyros kaki, Thumb) leaf tea were analyzed. Samples were processed by using three different methods ; SHT(steamed and then hot-air dried), DHT(dried in the shade, steamed and then hot-air dried) and RHT(roasted and then hot-air dried). The components analyzed were general compositions of dried perisimmon leaves and extracted solution. The composition of moisture, ash, crude lipid and total nitrogen did not show significant variation among different processing methods of the persimmonleaf tea. The contents of caffeine, tannin and vitamin C in persimmon leaf tea were in the range of $178.4~209.8{\mu}mol/g$, 29.1~38.5mg% and 325.3~2084.7mg%, respectively. The vitamin C content was significantly higher in the RHT than other treatments. The contents of caffeine, tannin and vitamin C in the tea extracted solution were in the range of $101.5~130.1{\mu}mol/g$, 15.4~25.9mg% and 111.0~1274.3mg%, respectively. The vitamine C in the tea solution was the highest in the RHT treatment and 61.1% of vitamin C in the leaf tea was extracted out in these processing methods. The major amino acids contained in the leaf tea were in decreasing order glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine and phenylalanine, these four amino acids consisting 38.9~39.8% of the total amino acid contained in the persimmon leaf tea. The major amino acids contained in the tea solution were glutamic acid, proline, histidine and arginine. Six kinds of 5'-nucleotides, CMP, AMP, UMP, IMP, GMP and hypoxanthine were detected and CMP was the most abundant component in fresh leaf, leaf tea and tea solution. The second highest 5'-nucleotides in both leaf tea and tea solutions were GMP, AMP and UMP in all processing method. The highest free sugar contained in the fresh leaf tea and tea solution was sucrose.

The objective of this study was to investigate the components and nutritional quality of red-tanner crab (Chionoecetes japonicus) paste in order to explore possibility for food processing source such as surimi gel containing crab paste. Yield of crab paste was $30\%$ from whole body after crushing and dehydrating. Crude protein contents $(9.5\%)$ of crab paste was lower than that $(13.1\%)$ of crab muscle, but fat $(0.5\%)$ and ash contents $(8.0\%)$ of paste were higher than $0.2\%\;and\;1.3\%$ of crab muscle, respectively. Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of the crab paste was lower than those of the edible parts. Total amino acid content (9,497mg/l00g) of paste was lower than that (12,980mg/100g) of muscle. Aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine and leucine were the predominant amino acids in the protein fraction. The calcium content (6,539mg/l00g) was higher than those of phosphorus (579mg/100g), and potassium (793mg/100g) while manganese and iron were present in trace amounts. Major fatty acids of total lipid were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, and no difference of composition between paste and muscle. Sensory evaluation showed that scores of color and flavor of $15\%$ substituted surimi gel increased significantly when compared to surimi gel without crab paste (p<0.05). From the above results, the addition of crab paste enhanced nutrition and functionality of surimi gel.
