This study was conducted to investigate sensory characteristics and consumer acceptance of sliced raw fish. The two most popular varieties in Korea, flounder and rockfish, were used. Samples of each variety were prepared as follows to create consistent perceptible sensory differences: 'fresh' (consumed within 2 h after sacrifice), 'aged' (stored at $1^{\circ}C$ for 24 h), 'frozen' (frozen at $-16^{\circ}C$ for 23 h then thawed at $23.5^{\circ}C$for 1 h), and 'immersed' (immersed in sterilized water at $1^{\circ}C$ for 24 h). Sensory profiles of samples were determined through quantitative descriptive analysis using 10 trained panelists. Consumer acceptance test was conducted using 47 consumers. Analyses of variance were conducted to test significance of differences in sensory profiles and hedonic ratings among samples. Consumers were clustered according to their overall liking scores, and their preference patterns were cross-checked with sensory profiles. For both fish varieties, 'fresh' was characterized by stronger hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, cartilage-like texture (applied to only rockfish), and fishy flavor, whereas 'frozen' and 'immersed' were distinguished from other samples for their stronger wetness, juiciness, and fresh fish flavor than those of other samples. 'Aged' was significantly less hard, cohesive, and springy than 'fresh' as well as less juicy and wet than 'frozen' and 'immersed'. Consumers significantly preferred 'fresh' flounder and rockfish to others for their strong cohesiveness and springiness, indicating textural attributes were main factors affecting consumer preferences. However, for both flounder and rockfish, 40~50% of respondents preferred 'frozen' and 'immersed' to 'fresh' for their tenderness and fresh fish flavor. For this group of consumers, flavor liking had a greater effect on overall preference than texture preference. The result suggests that cohesive and springy textures and fresh fish flavor are major drivers of preferences for raw fish slices, but their relative importance and optimal levels varied across individual consumers.

Frozen sardine meat paste for fish sausage was prepared to obtain the basic data on improving the quality of sardine sausage, and its gel formation ability was compared with meat paste from raw sardine. In addition, its quality stability was studied during frozen storage. For the preparation of frozen sardine meat paste, the addition of 4% of sorbitol and 0.3f of polyphosphate to the fish meat appeared effective to keep the processing suitability and storage stability. Also, the gel formation ability of the frozen sardine meat paste was not inferior to that of raw sardine paste.

We investigated the effect of the modified starch [physical treatment, acetate (SA-1, SA-2, and SA-3), hydroxypropyl (HS), and acetylated distarch adipate] content on the physicochemical properties of fish cakes, called Eomuk in Korea, during storage at -20℃. When wheat flour (native starch, NS) was used, the moisture content decreased during frozen storage, resulting in a lower water-holding capacity and higher expressible drip. Compared with NS, adding modified starch had a lower effect on the moisture content during frozen storage. The water-holding capacity and expressible drip differed with the type of modified starch added. The expressible drip was lowest with HS; the SA-3 and HS modified starch were whiter than NS. Therefore, HS and SA-1 are suitable additives to improve the quality of frozen fish cakes.

The changes of the get forming ability of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and conger eel (Astroconger myriaster) meat during ice and frozen storage were investigated in connection with the other quality indices, such as pH, K-value, VBN, viable cell count and sensory evaluation. The shelf-life of iced common carp and conger eel as the raw materials for fish jelly product was considered to be about 16 and 13 days, respectively. Little change in gel forming ability of two species was found during frozen storage at $-30^{\circ}C$ for 3 months. From the results obtained in the examination on the gel forming abilities of the two species stored at $-30^{\circ}C$ for 3 months were superior to those stored in ice for 3 to 4 and 4 to 6 days individually. Fish jelly from the common carp was much more elastic than that of conger eel meat. The overall qualities of two species held in frozen storage as the raw material for fish jelly product were excellent.

This paper suggests a modeling technique for shape and volume prediction of fishes to cut them with identical weights for group meals. The measurement and prediction of frozen fishes for group meals are very difficult because they have a bending deformation occurring at frozen stage and a hollow by eliminating the internals. Besides there exist twinkles problem of surface caused by freeze and variable weights by moisture conditions. Therefore a complex estimation algorithm is necessary to predict the shape and volume prediction of fishes exactly. Hollow prediction, pattern classification and modeling for tails using neural network, integration based volume prediction algorithm are suggested and combined to solve those problems. In order to validate the proposed method, the experiments of 3-dimensional measurement, volume prediction and fish cutting for spanish mackerel, saury, and mackerel are executed. The cutting experiments for real fish are executed.

The surge in online seafood consumption has increased parcel delivery, leading to a need to implement effective preservation methods. As the cold chain system is not fully established in Korea, styrofoam boxes and cold packs are commonly used for low-temperature seafood distribution. The impact of cold packs on product preservation depends on the number utilized. Herein, the freshness of vacuum-packed frozen fish fillets (Paralichthys olivaceus and Scomber japonicus) stored at 25±0.5℃ for up to 84 h was measured. Chemical (pH and volatile base nitrogen), microbiological (viable cell count), and physical (odor intensity) properties were assessed using 2 or 4 cold packs in a styrofoam box. Four cold packs yielded lower values, indicating superior freshness, and extended fish freshness by approximately 12 h compared with two cold packs. Therefore, it is recommended to use a minimum of 4 cold packs (-350 g/cold pack) in a styrofoam box for distributing approximately 300 g of frozen fish fillets at room temperature during the summer, considering an average delivery period of 2 days in Korea.

To provide basic information for the proper usage of frozen convenience foods in elementary school foodservice operations, 51 dietitian employeed in school foodservices in Inchon were surveyed. Among the frozen convenience foods, dumpling-type foods(60.8%) and processed meats(40.4%)were used widely in school foodservice. Generally, the frequency of using frozen food items was fewer than 1 time per month. More than 15% of respondents were using pork cutlet, chicken, chickenball, dumpling stuffed with meat about 2-3 times per month. Sweet and sour pork(Tangsuyuk), kebap(Sanjuk), fish/shrimp cutlet, fried potato items were used only fewer than 1 time per month. Dietitian's age, carrier, employed status influenced the utilization rate. The grand mean of satisfaction score was 3.36 out of 5. The factors affecting satisfaction in using frozen foods were sanitation, taste, price, nutrition, food additives in order. The major reasons of utilizaing frozen convenience foods were 'improved labor productivity(4.47)' and 'meet customer preference(4.25)'. The limiting factors in using frozen foods were taste(35.3%), price(23.5%), nutrition(17.6%). The management practices of frozen convenience foods through food processing flow were assessed. Average performance rate was 64.7%. To enlarge the usage of frozen convenience foods in foodservice operations, dietitians should observe sanitary practices.
