Trimethylamine (TMA) is a well-known off-odor compound in fish and fishery products and is a metabolic product of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) generated by the enzymatic action of microorganisms. The off-odor is a factor that can debase the value of fish and fishery products. The present study aimed to remove TMA using lactic acid bacteria (LAB). A total of fifteen isolates exhibiting the TMA reduction efficacy were isolated from Korean traditional fermented foods. Among these isolates, five LAB isolates (Lactobacillus plantarum SKD 1 and 4; Lactobacillus paraplantarum SKD 15; Pediococcus stilesii SKD 11; P. pentosaceus SKD 14) were selected based on their high TMA reduction efficacy. In situ reduction of TMA efficacy by the LAB cell-free supernatant was evaluated using a spoiled fish sample. The results showed effective TMA reduction by our selected strains: SKD1 (45%), SKD4 (62%), SKD11 (60%), SKD14 (59%), and SKD15 (52%), respectively. This is the first study on TMA reduction by the metabolic activity of LAB and in situ reduction of TMA using cell-free supernatant of LAB. The present finding suggests an economically useful and ecofriendly approach to the reduction of TMA.

We explored preprocessing-mediated quality changes in red snow crab fish sauce. A control (C) group and groups treated with autolysis (A), boiling (B), enzymatic hydrolysis (E), and addition of Aspergillus oryzae (K) were formed. The titratable acidity of the K group increased with storage time, whereas that of groups C, A, B, and E decreased. The total and amino nitrogen contents initially increased on storage of all samples, but decreased in later periods. The total plate count (TPC) of the K group was initially 5.26 log CFU/mL and increased to 7.28 log CFU/mL at 3 months of storage. The TPCs of the C, A, B, and E groups were initially <5.00 log CFU/mL and decreased with storage. The lactic acid bacteria count of the K group was initially 4.80 log CFU/mL and increased until month 5 to approximately 6.06 log CFU/mL. The K group scored higher in terms of sensory attributes than the other groups and maintained marketable scores for all relevant properties (color, flavor, off-odor, and overall acceptance). Furthermore, the free amino acid content of the K group was the highest among all groups at approximately 3,000 mg per 100 g. These results suggest that K treatment may be beneficial in the preparation of fermented fish sauce.

Trimethylamine (TMA) is a nitrogen-based aliphatic organic compound. It is a major odorous component of fish and fishery products and is often used as an indicator of fish quality. The efficacy of TMA removal by various yeast strains was investigated. The five yeast strains found to be most effective in removing TMA were isolated from fermented foods and were identified as Saccharomyces cerevisiae based on biochemical and 18S rRNA sequence analyses. These strains were designated as S. cerevisiae SK1511, SK1512, SK1513, SK1514 and SK1515. Yeast cultures were treated with a TMA solution (0.3%, v/v), and the level of TMA reduction was analyzed by headspace gas chromatography. The five S. cerevisiae strains removed 32.02-50.34% of the TMA from the solution. This study is the first to demonstrate TMA reduction by microbial treatment.

Alaska Pollack (Theragramma), Mackerel (Socomber japonicus), yellow corvenia (Pseudosc iance manchurica) were dressed, and then meat was separated from the other parts through a fish meat separator. After dehydration, the meat was ground with a silent cutter, packaged in polyethylene bags, and stored at -15。C for days. Samples were taken at regular intervals throughout the storage period and investigated for changes in puality characteristics such as the amounts of nitrogenous compounds, degree of lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition, and organoleptic factors. The resrlts obtained in this study were as follows; 1. The volatile basic nitrogen[VBN] contents of Alaska pollack, and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased from 14.4, 11.2 and 10.8mg% to 41.6, 38.3 and 40.6mg%, respectively during a 120 day storage period, whereas the trimethylamine oxide nitrogen [TMAO-N] contents decreased from 117.2, 12.8 and 17.2mg% to 40.3, 2.6 and 7.1mg% during the same period. 2. The TBA value of the mackerel meat paste showed a maximum peak after 60 days, and then decreased gradually, whereas the TBAvalues of the alaska pollack and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased steadily during the same period. The acid values of the meat pastes increased during the storage period, while the iodine values decreased. 3. The fatty acid composition of the total lipid of the meat pastes changed considerably during ghe 120 days storage period : saturated fatty acids in the total lipid such as myristic, palmitic, and stearic acid increased, while unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, gadoleic, eicosapentaenoic, erucic and docosahexaenoic acid decreased steadily. The initial percentage contents of the unsaturated fatty acids in the total lipid of the Alaska pollack, mackerel, and yellow corvenia meat pastes were 87.2%, 63.9%, and 75.9% respectively. However, the contents decreased to 46.0%, 42.5% and 51.3% after the 120day storage period. 4. The color of the meat pastes changde gradually into dark brown. L values of the meat paste measured with a thistimulus colorimeter decreased steadily during the storage period, while a and b values increased during same period. 5. Judging from the results of organoleptic evaluation on the fish odor, color and overall acceptability, significant difference were found between the odor and color of the mackerel and those of the yellow corvenia meat pastes. Overall acceptability score of yellow corvenia was higher than that of Alaska pollack or mackerel meat pastes.

A grilled-type shrimp flavor was developed through the Maillard reaction to reduce or mask fish odor or off-flavor in seafood. Model systems were created by using enzymatic hydrolysate of shrimp and adding precursors to increase flavor quality and stability. Amino acid precursors such as cysteine and methionine, sugar precursors such as glucose, xylose, ribose, and sucrose, and one particular compound of glucosamine were tried and their flavor qualities were tested by sensory evaluation. Also, the optimum reaction condition was investigated using the pH values of pH 5, 6, 7, and 8 with reaction times of 1 hr, 2 hr and 3 hr after the best precursors were determined. The best condition of the precursors for grilled-type shrimp flavor was the mixtures of methionine, threonine, xylose, and glucosamine. The optimum reaction condition was at pH 8.0 and 2 hr reaction time.

시중에서 판매중인 청국장에 Co-60의 감마선을 $0{\sim}120\;kGy$의 선량으로 조사한 후 미생물과 화학적 성분 변화, 특히 지방산 조성 변화를 비교하였다. 조사된 청국장의 미생물 수는 10kGy 조사시 비조사구에 비하여 $10^4$ 정도 감소되었고, $D_{10}$ 값은 3.17 kGy로 나타났다. 일반성분은 조사량이 증가하여도 변화가 없는 것으로 나타났으며 pH는 조사구와 비조사구간에 차이가 없었으나, 산도는 조사구가 비조사구에 비하여 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 청국장의 지방상 조성은 대두나 증자대두와 유사하게 12종이 확인되었다. 청국장의 주요 지방산 양은 대두나 증자대두에 비해 oleic acid와 palmitic acid는 적고, linoleic acid와 linolenic acid는 더 많은 것으로 나타났다. 감마선 조사 청국장의 지방산 조성은 조사선량 20 kGy 조사구는 비조사구와 크게 다르지 않았으나 40 kGy 이상의 고선량 조사에서 linoleic acid와 linolenic acid가 감소하였다. 감마선 조사 청국장을 관능검사한 결과 비조사구에 비하여 갈색도(p<0.05), 꼬린내(p<0.01), 생선비린내(p<0.001), 이취(p<0.001), 수용성(p<0.001) 항목이 유의적 차이를 보여 감마선 조사 선량이 커질수록 비조사구와 색이나 냄새에서 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 안전성을 고려하여 1, 5, 10 kGy 조사구를 대상으로 실시한 맛 관능검사의 결과는 비조사구와 비슷한 수준이었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼 때 청국장의 멸균을 위해서는 40 kGy 이상의 조사량이 필요하나, $20{\sim}40\;kGy$ 정도의 조사 선량으로 미생물 수를 $10^2$이하로 충분히 낮출 수 있고 다가불포화지방산의 감소를 방지하면서 청국장 고유의 관능적 특성을 유지할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

본 연구에서는 폐기되거나 사료로 이용되고 잇는 대구 frame에 다량으로 포함되어 있는 단백질로부터 쓴맛이 없는 효소분해 간장을 개발하기 위해 참치유문수 유래의 조효소를 추출하고 이를 이용하여 대구 frame을 가수분해 시켰으며, 한외여과막을 사용하여 분자량별로 분획하여 조미간장을 제조한 후 간 장으로서의 이용가능성을 검토하였다. 한외여과막을 사용하여 분자량별로 분획한 각각의 가 수분해물들은 25,000 kDa 이하에서 서로 유사한 분자량 분포를 보였으나, 분획에 사용된 막 의 한계분자량에 따라 분포 비율은 서로 차이를 보였다. 또한, 아미노산의 조성분석에서도 각 가수분해물에 포함되어 있는 아미노산의 함량 차이는 거의 없었으나, 1 K 가수분해물에 서 유리아미노산의 함량이 상대적으로 높았다. 분자량별로 분획된 TPCCE 가수분해물들의 관능평가 결과 1 K 가수분해물이 모든 항목에서 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 이를 원 료로 하여 효소분해간장을 만들어 다시 관능평가한 실시한 결과, 1 K 가수분해물로 제조한 간장은 육단백질을 효소분해할 때 나타나는 쓴맛은 사라졌지만 시판용 간장과 맛의 비료평 가에서 약간 낮은 점수를 얻었다. 그러나 효소분해간장 원액을 시판 양조간장과 일정한 비 율로 섞어 관능평가를 실시하였을 때는 모든 항목에서 우수한 점수를 얻었다. 따라서, 1 K 가수분해물로 제조한 효소분해간장과 양조간장을 일정비율로 혼합할 경우, 현재 시판되는 산분해 혼합간장의 안정성을 향상 시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
