Processing conditions of retort pouched fried mackerel fish meat paste and quality stability during storage were investigated. The reasonable amounts of added ingredients to the frozen mackerel meat paste were $10\%$ of corn starch, $1\%$ of soybean protein, $1.5\%$ of sodium chloride, $0.6\%$ of monosodium glutamate, $0.3\%$ of alcoholic extract of red pepper, and $0.1\%$ of sodium erythorbate as an antioxidant and also added water corresponding to $10\%$ of the frozen mackerel meat paste. After grinding the defrosted mackerel fish meat paste with ingredients, the meat paste was molded in bar type and fried in soybean oil at $170-180^{\circ}C$ for 3 minutes. The fried mackerel meat paste was cooled, vacuum-packed in laminated plastic film bag (polyester/polyvinylidene chloride/unoriented polypropylene : $12{\mu}m/15{\mu}/50{\mu}m,\;14{\times}19cm$) and finally sterilized at $120^{\circ}C$ for 20 minutes in a hot water circulating retort. The pH, volatile basic nitrogen, moisture content, water activity, color, thiobarbituric acid value, peroxide value, texture and viable bacterial count of products were examined during 100 days of storage at $25{\pm}3^{\circ}C\;and\;5^{\circ}C$. The results showed that products could be preserved in good condition for 100 days at $25{\pm}3^{\circ}C$. Judging from sensory evaluation, the quality of products was not inferior to that of market products.

As an effort to expand the utilization of mackerel which has been thought disadvantageous to processors due to the defects in bloody dark color of meat, high content of lipid, and low stability of protein, and to develope a new type of product, so called, preservative fish meat paste, the processing method was studied in which dielectric heating was applied by means of cooking, pasteurization, dehydration, and control of water activity. The principle of this method is based on that dielectric heating can initiate a rapid dispersion or displacement of moisture in the meat tissue so that the level of water acivity can be controlled by dehydration with hot air meanwhile the product is cooked, pasteurized, and texturized. And the product is finally heated with electric heaters and vacuum sealed to stabilize water activity and storage stability. In present paper, a formula for preparing the fish meat-stach paste, the conditions of dielectric heating and dehydration, shape and size of the product, and other parameters were tested to optimize the process operation. A formula of the fish meat-starch paste to provide proper textural properties and water activity was $10\%$ starch, $1.5\%$ salt, $3\%$ soybean, $0.6\%$ MSG, $2\%$ sucrose, and $3\%$ sorbitol against the weight of fish meat. A proper shape and size of the product to avoid foaming and case hardening during heating was sliced disc of 8 cm $diameter{\times}0.8$ cm thickness or $10{\times}10$ cm square plate with 1.0 cm thickness. The disc shape was recommended because it resulted more uniform heating, minimum foaming and case hardening. And it was also advantageous that disc was simply provided when the fish meat disc was stuffed in the same, solidified in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes, and sliced. Condition of dielectric heating was critical to decide the levels of sterility, water activity, and textural property of the product. The temperature at the center of the meat disc slices was raised up to $95^{\circ}C$ in 1.5 minutes so that continuous exposure to microwave caused expanded tissue and hardening ending up with a higher water content. Heating for 5 to 6 minutes was adequate to yield the final water activity of 0.86 to 0.83(35 to $40\%$ moisture). It is important, however, that heating had to be done periodically, for instance, in the manner of 2.0, 1.5, 1.5, and 1.0 minute to give enough time to displace or evaporate moisture from the meat tissue. The product was dehydrated for 2 to 3 minutes by hot air of $60^{\circ}C$, 3 to 5m/sec and finally exposed to electric heaters for 5 to 6 minutes until the surface was roasted deep brown. These conditions of heating and dehydration resulted in a complete reduction of total plate count from an initial count of $5.3{\times}10^6/g$ to less than $3{\times}10^2/g$. General composition of the product was $40.1\%$ moisture, $20.8\%$ protein, $17.4\%$ lipid, $16.2\%$ carbohydrate, and $5.5\%$ ash. Textural properties revealed folding test AA, hardness 42, cohesiveness 0.53, toughness 4.6, and elasticity 0.8.

To develop natural-tasting fish paste from the pufferfish Lagocephalus wheeleri, steamed pufferfish paste (SPP) was prepared and its optimal processing conditions, quality metrics, and shelf-life characteristics were examined. SPP was produced by thawing golden threadfin Nemipterus virgatus surimi (FA grade), then adding 10% unwashed pufferfish surimi (PS), 1.5% salt, 8.0% wheat starch, 0.25% calcium carbonate, 0.25% sugar, 0.75% sorbitol, 0.25% polyphosphate, and 12.0% pufferfish hot-water extract (Brix 10°). The meat was ground with a Stephan mixer, molded at low temperature (18℃, 10 h), vacuum packed in a laminated plastic film bag, heat treated with hot water (95℃, 50 min), and cooled. As the amount of PS added increased, the whiteness, gel strength, and shear strength of the SPP decreased slightly. However, the SPP folding test showed no deterioration in the texture. In the sensory evaluation, the SPP received a higher rating for taste, smell, and overall taste than commercial Japanese pufferfish Kamaboko. The total amino acid content of the SPP was 10,262.6 mg/100 g; the major amino acids were aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, valine, leucine, lysine, and arginine. The free amino acid content was 133.0 mg/100 g; the major amino acids were taurine, glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, cystine, and lysine.

The staple foods are Guksu (wheat vemicell as like western noodles) 5, Mandu (bun stuffed with seasoned meat and vegetables) 6 kinds in this book. the side dishes are Guk (soup) 8, J'm (steamed meat or fish) 6, chae6, Nooruemi 5, Hyae (sliced raw fish) 3, Jockpyun (jellied beef soup) 3, Jockgall (salted sea food) 2, Jock (skewer or broach) 2, jihee 2, Sun (Steaming of stuffed vegetable) 1, Bockuem (saute) 1, Jon (pan fried fish) 1, Gui (meat or fish grilled with seasoning) 1, and the other 13 kinds. The desserts are D,ock (Korean rice cake) 11, jabgwa 8, Beverages 5 kinds and Jungwa 1 kind. The alcohol and fruits wine are 51 kinds. The alcohol and fruits wine are 51 kinds. The seasonings are Soybean sauce, oil, Sesamol oil, pepper, Ginger, Garlic, Vinegar, Wine, Salt, Bean paste etc. Raw materials of Guksu, Mandu, D'ock, Jabgwa, Beverage, Wine, vinegar are all carbohydrates. It shows that a tendency of Korean people too much take a carbohydrates. Now and then, there are no special difference of winter over pass for vegetables, fruits, dried beef, dried fish and salt fishes. In yi dynasty, there are 62 kinds of table ware and cooking kitchen utensils, but many of them come to uselessness. 19 kinds of measuring unit are very non-scientific because that is not by weight but by bulk or volume. There are many food making terms which are 198 kinds of prepared cooking term, 11 kinds of cutting term and 20 kinds of boiling term. And 10 kinds of expression of taste can see this book.

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)

Radurization effects on fried fish meat paste with Co-60 gamma irradiation at 0-5 kGy and physicochemical aspects of the stored samples at low ($3{\pm}1^{\circ}C$, LT) and room ($10-20^{\circ}C$, RT) temperatures were investigated. The initial microbial loads of the samples were $2.2{\times}10^3/g$ in total bacterial count, $2.8{\times}10^2/g$ in yeasts & molds, and $1.0{\times}10^2/g$ in coliform group, respectively. An irradiation dose of more than 3 kGy was shown to be effective for the radurization of stored samples and there is no apparent difference between air and vacuum packaging groups. The chemical components related to the quality underwent similar changes in the nonirradiated and irradiated groups; however, as the storage time was prolonged the quality of nonirradiated samples rapidly deteriorated. Textural parameters of the samples were little affected by the applied doses, and sensory evaluations showed that 3 kGy irradiation was the optimum dose level to extend the shelf-life of fried fish meat paste up to 2 times at RT and 3 to 4 times at LT, respectively compared with the nonirradiated control.

It has been reported that alginic acid hydrolysate retains antimicrobial activity but the enzyme which hydrolyze alginic acid is not developed for industrial use. The authors developed chemical method for hydrolyzing alginic acid. For preparing alginic acid hydrolysate, equal quantity of alginic acid and ascorbic acid were added to water. Then the solution was heated at $121^{\circ}C$ for $20{\sim}30{\;}minutes$. The 4% solution of alginic acid hydrolysate was revealed relative viscosity 1.05, pH 3.2 and opaque whitish-yellow color. By addition of this hydrolysate to nutrient broth with the concentration of 0.1%, the growth of Bacillus sp. isolated from fish meat paste products was inhibited. The fish meat paste products containing 0.3% alginic acid hydrolysate prepared were prolonged their shelf life by 1 day stored at $30^{\circ}C$, 2 days at $20^{\circ}C$ and 4 days at $15^{\circ}C$.

Western countries came to Asia aggressively in the early 1900s. Westerners who came to Korea at that time also had a various jobs with diplomats, missionaries, doctors, and so on. Korean diet was curious and shocking to foreigners in the early 1990s, so they made a record of the Korean diet. They thought Korea was peaceful, attractive and rich to eat. Koreans ate mainly rice and kimchi, a variety of grains, vegetables and bibimbap. Korea had a variety of meat and fish, seaweed, and herbs(ginseng). Foreigners said Koreans were greedy for food and ate a lot. Koreans ate basically a bowl of rice(bap), a bowl of soup(kuk), kimchi, soy sauce and other dishes. If Koreans wanted to set a table in abundance, they have meat soup(kuk) with meat and additional fish like as raw fish, dried fish, and boiled or fried fish. Korean people had a jangdokdae with Ongki(Earthen jar) where soy sauce(kanjang), soybean paste(doenjang), red pepper paste(kochujang), pickles (jang-achi) have been fermented. Foreigners felt the smell of lacquer tree and kimchi hung in the air from Korean people. While they were compared it to the smell of western rim cheese burger, they said Korea was a country with nasty smell in the feet. By the records of foreigners in the early 1900s, Korean's diets and image were appeared objectively.

"Gyuhapchongseo" was published in 1809, and introduced the cooking method of the noble class in the late Joseon dynasty. The characteristics of the side dishes in "Gyuhapchongseo" are as follows. Firstly, red pepper was used as whole red pepper, shredded red pepper, powdered red pepper, or Korean hot pepper paste. Secondly, salt-fermented fish was used in some forms of Kimchi, including Sukbakgi, Dong A Sukbakgi, and Gyochimhae. Thirdly, to retain the juiciness of meat during roasting, meat was spread cold water on the surface, dipped into the washing water of rice or wrapped with wet paper. Fourth, to improve the visual effect of a dish, cooked foods were displayed with various color schemes, panfried foods with two tones (egg white and yellow) of color on each side and the use of radish pigmented with deep red color. On examination of the characteristics of food in "Gyuhapchongseo", I would suggest applicable practices for the present cuisine. The use of gravy produced from the boiling down of fish flesh could raise the nutritive value of Kimchi. In "Gyuhapchongseo", Yak po (semi-dried minced beef) is noted as being good for elderly people with bad teeth. A steamed dish with dog meat in Dong A in "Gyuhapchongseo" is made by hollowing out Dong A and putting a dog in it to cook the dog meat to well done in a fire made with the hulls of rice. This technique could be used to present cuisine for steamed and roasted dishes using food ingredients such as pumpkin, sweet pumpkin, and overripe cucumber.

For the effective utilization of the fish resource in coastal regions, an investigation on optimum processing conditions and meat quality textured fish protein concentrate (FPC) was carried out with the fish meat of filefish and sardine. Optimum pH and sodium chloride content of fish meat were 7.5 and 1.0 %, respectively. The most effective soaking conditions were as follows ; soaking time, 30 min ; temperature of ethanol, 5 to $20^{\circ}C$ ; amount of added ethanol, 3 times the weight of the fishmeat paste ; repeated number of soaking in ethanol for filefish and sardine, 2 and 4, respectively. The ethanol remaining is meaty textured FPC could be removed effectively by forced-air drying. Yields of the product to the minced meat weight and the contents of protein lipid in meaty textured from filefish were 21.1, 77.6 and 0.2 % and those from sardine were 24.3, 75.8 and 3.6 %, respectively. Contents of essential amino acids in meaty textured FPC of filefish and sardine were not inferior to those of beef, textured soybean protein and FAO pattern. Beef meat could be substituted with the meaty textured FPC up to 50 % in the processing of typical meat balls and hamburger without any significant loss in its taste, odor and texture.
