The objective of this study was to estimate the food quality of commercial boiled-dried Pacific herring Clupea pallasi as a substitute for boiled-dried anchovy. Standards for controlling quality of boiled-dried Pacific herring were suggested based on international (US FDA and CODEX) and domestic (Korean FDA, Standards on Quality of Seafood and Seafood Products, KS) standards for boiled-dried anchovy. The standards included requirements for moisture [less than 30% (less than 35 in very tiny sizes)], water activity (less than 0.85), salinity (less than 10%), water-phase salt (less than 20%), acid-insoluble ash (less than 1.5%), yeast and mold (fewer than 1.0×10³ CFU/g), and different size and breakage (less than 5%). Based on the standards suggested, commercial boiled-dried Pacific herring passed nine levels (all levels) in water activity, acid-insoluble ash, mold and yeast concentrations; seven levels (L-1, 2, 3, 4, M-1, 2, S) in water-phase salt, and three levels (L-1, 3, 4) in the ratio of different size and breakage categories. These results suggest that the quality of commercial boiled-dried Pacific herring is similar to that of commercial boiled-dried anchovy.

The objective of this study was to investigate sensory and lipid characterizations of boiled-dried Pacific herring Clupea pallasii (PH) as a substitute for boiled-dried anchovies (A). The crude lipid content of commercial boiled-dried PH ranged from 1.3 to 5.1%, which was similar to that of commercial boiled-dried A (2.2-5.1%). The peroxide values (POVs) of commercial boiled-dried PH ranged from 20.5 to 129.1 meq/kg. The POVs of commercial boiled-dried PH suggest that boiled-dried PA of high quality should be controlled by a POV standard similar to that of boiled-dried A. The trichloroacetic acid soluble-nitrogen (TCA soluble-N) content of commercial boiled-dried PH ranged from 495.7 to 998.6 mg/100 g, which was high compared to that of commercial boiled-dried A (372.6-690.0 mg/100 g). Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) content of commercial boiled-dried PH ranged from 8.4 to 28.1 mg/100 g, which was low compared to that of commercial boiled-dried A (16.8-33.0 mg/100 g). Results from the lipid, POV, TCA-soluble-N, and VBN content analyses suggest that boiled-dried PH could be used as a substitute for boiled-dried A.
