Nutritional compositions, volatile compounds, and sensory attributes of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel (Scomber japonicus) were analyzed in order to examine its practical utilization as a food resource compared to commercial frozen mackerel. In the proximate analysis, lipid contents were $27.3{\pm}2.7%$ in grilled and fast-chilled mackerel. Palmitic acid was the most predominant fatty acid (20.68% and 18.88%), and the percentages of polyunsaturated fatty acid were higher than 40% in both. No benzopyrene was found in the grilled mackerel, and even grilling was employed at $260^{\circ}C$. For chemical stabilities, para-anisidine value (8.56 vs. 9.26) and acid value (2.96 vs. 3.35) in grilled mackerel were improved compared to those of commercial mackerel. Moreover, color index of grilled mackerel, a physiological property, showed greater lightness than commercial mackerel. Lastly, analysis of volatile compounds by gas chromatographic analysis and sensory tests by trained panels demonstrated higher potential for grilled mackerel as a highly marketable product compared to commercial mackerel. Taken altogether, the above results provide important preliminary results for utilization of grilled and fast-chilled mackerel as a quality food.

The content of zinc and copper were analyzed and compared for five favorite traditional Korean dishes. The purpose of the research was to substantiate traditional Korean foods, which are good sources of these two minerals, to emphasize the importance of the minerals and to improve nutritional conditions. Foods were collected from institutional food services and Korean restaurants. The result of the analysis of the minerals are listed below. 1. When the survey was done on the preference and the frequency of intake of 106 Korean traditional dishes, the most popular food item was soybean paste stew (doenjangchigae); the second, barbecued beef (pulgogi): the third, cooked rice with assorted vegetables (pibimpap): the fourth, grilled fishes : the fifth, spicy beef vegetable soup (yukkaejang). The frequency of intake of eating these dishes was also very high. 2. The average one serving portion of each of the five dishes from institutional food services and Korean restaurants are as follows. The average one serving size of cooked rice with assorted vegetables of the two systems were 451.2g and 403.0g; spicy beef vegetable soup, 379.3g and 512.3g; soybean paste stew, 292.0g and 278.8g; barbecued beef, 76.1g and 202.5g: grilled croaker(chogi, fish), 47.5g and 36.5g, and grilled spanish mackerel(samchi, fish), 60.0g and 250.0g. The differences of the average one serving portion between the two systems were very significant. 3. The total average zinc content of each of the five dishes from the two different systems were analyzed. The zinc content of cooked rice ith assorted vegetables from institutional food services was 4.3mg and that from Korean restaurants was 2.9mg; spicy beef vegetable soup, 1. 7mg and 3.2mg: sybean pste stew, 1.4mg and 1.6mg: barbecued beef, 1.9mg and 4.3mg; grilled croaker, 0.5mg and 0.4mg; grilled spanish mackerel, 0.8mg and 2.7mg. The difference between the average of total zinc content of two systems were not statistically significant. 4. The average total copper content of each item from the two different systems were compared. The average total copper content of barbecued beef from institutional food services was 692.4$\mu\textrm{g}$ and that from Korean restaurants was 502.5$\mu\textrm{g}$. The value of the institutional food services system was significantly higher(p＜0.05). Spicy beef vegetable soup, 161.1$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 208.3$\mu\textrm{g}$: soybean paste soup, 290.5$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 308.5$\mu\textrm{g}$; barbecued beef, 217.7$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 339.l$\mu\textrm{g}$: grilled croaker, 51.7$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 44.l$\mu\textrm{g}$; grilled spanish mackerel, 92.0$\mu\textrm{g}$ and 265.2$\mu\textrm{g}$.

It is known that mackerel and pork belly release a strong odor in the process of roasting. We evaluated a dilution factor of odor arising during roasting mackerel or pork belly and the relative odor strength using several cooking tools and analyzed compounds causing odors with gas chromatograph/mass detector. Roasting pans used were grill with lid, electric grill without lid and general roasting pan, and a grill with lid can attach the activated carbon charcoal deodorant at the inside of lid. And all electric grills have a drip tray under the heater. We investigated characteristics of odor emission depending on the presence of water and deodorants in these cooking tools. Study has shown that roasting mackerel produces approximately 36 time more odors than roasting pork belly, and the reduced odor emission when roast with water. And it shows the reduced deodorant effect when cooked with water after attaching activated carbon charcoal in the cooking pan. Major odor causing compounds arising when cooking mackerel and pork belly were aldehydes with high boiling point such as octyl aldehyde with a low odor threshold value.

The effects of cooking method (grilling, frying, steaming, and microwaving) on the proximate composition and protein quality of chub mackerel Scomber japonicus treated with 2, 6, and 10% sodium chloride (NaCl) brine were investigated. Moisture content decreased in all cooked samples from 60.22% in the raw sample to 48.7% in the fried samples. Brine (10% NaCl) treatment recorded the highest moisture loss. All cooked samples showed a decrease in fat content, except fried samples. Protein content increased in all cooked samples, from 47.21% in the raw sample to 63.87% in the grilled sample. Brine treatment resulted in the highest degree of fat oxidation (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances), which was highest in the fried samples and lowest in the microwaved samples. The trypsin inhibitor (TI) concentration was highest in the microwaved samples and lowest in the fried samples. In all samples, 6% salt treatment caused the lowest TI level and the highest in vitro protein digestibility. In vitro digestibility increased from 79.4% in the raw sample to 86.43% in the fried samples. The total essential amino acids of all cooked samples increased. Results suggested that grilling and steaming had beneficial effects on the protein quality of chub mackerel.

In this study, preferences and eating frequency of fish were surveyed in 390 foodservice employees in the Gyeongbuk and Daegu areas. The most common response to degree of fish intake was 'half eaten'. In the home, 'fish intake 1~2 times per a week' was chosen as the most common response. There was a significant difference(p<.05) in the frequency of fish consumption based on gender. 'Fish intake 3~5 times per a week' was most commonly chosen by subjects under 20 and over 60 years, whereas the most common response in those 41~60 and 21~40 years old was 'fish intake 1~2 times per a week'. The most preferred method of fish cooking was 'roast', 'frozen pollack' Tang was chosen as the favorite Tang(soup) dish and 'Hairtail' was chosen as the favorite boiled and grilled fish dish. Reasons for avoiding or preferring fish were related to 'tastes and recipes'. 'Mackerel' was the favorite dish for both men and women. 'Flatfish' and 'mackerel pike' were disliked by men and women, respectively. Cooked meat was eaten more often than fish regardless of gender. Besides, preference for meat was higher than that for fish in all age groups, except those over 60 years old. 'fish has good nutrition and health' was the most common response When subjects were asked to compare fish with cooked meat.

This study was conducted to analyse middle school students' perceptions of seafood as well as their eating experiences and favorite cooking methods for seafood. It also examined the frequency and use of seafood on school lunch menus. Questionnaires were distributed to 739 students in 5 middle schools in the Busan area. On a scale of 5.00, the average scores for perceptions toward seafood were as follows: 3.67 for health & nutrition, 3.53 for taste, 2.53 for smell, 2.77 for convenience. The male students had significantly_(p<0.05) higher perception scores for health & nutrition, taste, and smell than the female students. Among 38 types of seafoods, the highest percentages for eating experiences included seaweed_(99.2%), anchovies_(99.1%), fried fish paste_(98.6%), shrimp_(98.4%), crab_(98.2%), squid_(97.9%), sea mustard_(97.8%), mackerel_(97.7%), dried squid_(97.3%), and hair tail_(96.9%). However, the majority of students had eaten a limited amount of seafood. The degree of seafood intake at home was significantly_(p<0.01) higher than at school. The students' favorite cooking methods for seafood were in the order of grilling, stir-frying, steaming, deep-fat frying, and soup. However, the middle school lunch programs primarily served as soup, seasoning, stir-fried, braised, deep-fat fried, and grilled, respectively. The main reasons for leaving seafood on a plate were inconvenience due to the fishbones_(62.7%), tasteless_(45.4%), and disliking the smell_(35.7%). Improvements that students wanted for seafood on school lunch menus included removal of fishbone for convenience_(67.0%), taste_(52.0), and increased variety of seafood types_(38.2%).

Dietary habit of excess sodium consumption is formed mainly by excessive salt intake from the younger age and this may lead to hypertension, stroke, and stomach cancer. This study was performed to estimate the salt content in kindergarten meals and provide basic data on meal providers' dietary attitude to sodium intake for nutrition education. We collected data on161 food items from 16 institutions in Gyeonggi-do and salt content was calculated from salinity and weight of individual food items. The average salt content from lunch meals was 2.2 g, which was about daily adequate intake of sodium for children aged 3 to 5 years old. Greatest contributor to the salt content in a meal was soup and stew (47.8%). The most salty dishes were sauces and kimchi followed by stir-fried food, deep-fried food, braised food, and grilled food. The salt content was higher in soup and stew despite of low salinity, due to the large quantity per serving. The salt contents of soups and kimchi were 40.6% and 14.3%, respectively of the total salt content in dish groups. Staff members and caregivers at home who prepared food for the child showed preference for one-dish rice meal, dried fish and salted mackerel, and broth when eating soup, stew, and noodles. Caregivers showed higher sodium index score and had higher preference for processed food such as Ramen, canned food, and ham compared with staff members (p < 0.05). These results suggested that monitoring salt content of kindergarten meals and nutrition education for those prepare meals for children are needed to lower sodium intake in childhood.

Acrolein is highly toxic and may be formed from carbohydrates, vegetable oils, animal fats and amino acids during heating of food. In the present study, we investigated adults' intake level of cooked meat using high temperature cooking method such as pan frying or grilling directly over an open flame and indirect fire using pan. The 925 adults (438 men and 487 women) participated in this nationwide survey. According to the result of frequency intake of cooked meat at high temperature, the most frequently consumed cooked meat at high temperature was fried chicken, followed by indirect cooking-samgeybsal and directly grilled fish and mackerel pike among twenty five kinds of cooked meats and foods, which were eaten more than three times per month. The woman consumed direct grilled fish and mackerel pike more than three times per month, while the man consumed samgeybsal, pork cutlet, and fried chicken once per week. The order of total intake amount of cooked meat per adult for a year is 10.3 kg of fried chicken (man 13.1 kg, woman 8.04 kg), 6.7 kg of samgeybsal (man 9.4 kg, woman 4.7 kg) and 5.1 kg of jeyukbockeum (man 7.0 kg, woman 3.6 kg). The results of present study suggest that adult must realize the risk of consuming cooked meat at high temperature and the need for education for proper dietary habit to prevent geriatric diseases.
