The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fermented chub mackerel extract (FCME) on lipid metabolism in rats fed diets without cholesterol. Four week-old male rats were divided into three groups of 10 rats with 0, 1% or 2% FCME supplementation to the diets. Purified diets were used in the present study. Feed and water were fed ad libitum. FCME supplementation had no effect on the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase, fatty acid synthetase, and the content of free cholesterol, triglyceride and phospholipid in the liver (p>0.05). 1% FCME supplementation significantly increased serum triglyceride (p<0.05) and hepatic 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase activity (p<0.05) with no effect on serum total cholesterol, free cholesterol and phospholipid concentration. FCME supplementation significantly reduced serum LDL+VLDL-cholesterol (p<0.01) and atherogenic index (p<0.01) with no effect on HDL-cholesterol. The current study showed that FCME inclusion might reduce the risk of atherosclerosis in rats fed diet without cholesterol.

This study focuses on the qualitative characteristics of mackerel marinated with herb extracts. By differentiating the amounts of garlic, ginger and basil, the optimal amount of each ingredient to he added has been found. According to the result of the experiment, the highest level of preference has been shown for the combination of 3% of garlic, 3% of ginger and 2% of basil, generating the optimal amounts to be added. Since the pH change shown by the mackerel marinated by adding the optimal combination of 3% of garlic, 3% of ginger and 2% of basil is included in the range of pH 6.2-6.4, which is the initial point of decomposition for red-fleshed fish, it can be considered to be appropriate for the qualitative characteristics of the product. According to the differences test, GA3 bas shown the lowest level of strength, making it soft. Also, GA3 has shown the highest level of elasticity together with the characteristic of being moist. As a result, it can be said that garlic is better than ginger and basil. According to the preference test, GA3 has shown the highest level of preference in terms of appearance, flavor, texture, taste and overall preference. By considering the above results of the experiment, GA3 (3% of garlic) can be regarded as the optimal amount to be added.

This study was performed to measure the mutagenicity of fish by cooking and storage. Mutagenicity of the fish extract was measured by Ames test(Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay with TA 100) in vitro and by micro-nucleus test in vivo. The fish samples screened in this study were white fish(Trichiurus, Croaker, Salted Croaker) and red fish(Saury pike, Mackerel, Yellowtail, Salmon). The number of revertants of red fish were significantly higher than that of white fish. And the mutagenicity of mackerel was higher than other red fish, so followed experiment was made by using the extract of mackerel. Mutagenicity of the samples cooked on microwave oven was the lowest, whereas there was no significant difference between the samples cooked on gas grill and the ones on electric grill. In the presence of S9 mixture, the methanol extract of mackerel showed 2∼4 times high values of mutagenicity in comparison with the extract without S9. The extract of mackerel cooked with various vegetable juices showed inhibitory effects on the mutagenicity in the order of green tea, ginger, and radish. Also, the number of revertants was increased in the stored samples. Mutagenicity of the samples stored in the refrigerator was higher than that of the freezer. In micronucleus test, the methanol extract treated with vegetable juice inhibited micro-nucleus formation in bone marrow by cyclophosphamide in the order of ginger, green tea, and radish. In TBA test, there was a tendency that TBA values were increased as the storage time increased. Also, the rancidity of sample were stored in the refrigerator was higher value than sample stored in the freezer. Samples cooked on microwave oven showed the highest value in rancidity. When the antioxidant effect of vegetable juice was measured by electron donating ability(EDA) of mackerel cooked with vegetable juice to DPPH, the samples treated with onion showed the highest value of EDA(%), and the samples treated with green tea, ginger and cabbage also showed the antioxidant effect.

This study was performed to assess the antioxidative properties of lipid from aquacultured mackerel Scomber japonicus fed with a diet fortified with conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and ascidian Halocynthia roretzi tunic extracts by radical scavenging assay. The fish were separated into squid oil (Control) and 2.5% CLA (CA25) groups during the 8-week feeding period. The reducing power of each sample showed high levels of activity compared with ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and butylated-hydroxyanisol (BHA) at 0.2-1.0 mg/mL of lipid. Inhibition of linoleic acid oxidation in samples from Control and CA25 groups showed similar activity after 2 days of incubation at $40^{\circ}C$. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), superoxide, and hydroxyl radical scavenging activities of CLA and carotenoid-deposited sample (CA25) were higher than those of the Control group. The results indicated that the lipid extracted from the viscera of mackerel showed slightly higher antioxidant activities than that from the muscle.

This study was carried out to analyze the quality change of mackerel treated extracts of Diospyros kaki, Teuceriun veronicoides and Zanthoxylum schinifoliun during storage to develope the preparation methods for high quality of salted mackerel. The mackerel treated with Z schinifoliun extract was lowest pH change among group. Titration acidity of mackerel was increased during storage at $4^{\circ}C\;and\;25^{\circ}C$. The changes of acid value (AV) of mackerel were lower treated herbal extracts at early storage than those in control group (5.79 meq/kg) at $4^{\circ}C$. Acid values were increased in all group at $25^{\circ}C$ during storage. Peroxide value (POV) was 10 meq/kg in the salted Mackerel. Increasing of peroxide values was lower in the salted mackerel during storage. Contents of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) were increased during storage, and were lower in group treated herb extracts than in control group. Total viable cells of mackerel were more in groups treated hem extracts at early storage than in control group, but less in groups treated herb extracts during storage than in control group.

We examined the quality characteristics of obtaining the optimal curing conditions for black garlic extract (BGE) added mackerel by using response surface methodology (RSM). The condition of RSM was included in 13 experimental points using two dependent variables: concentration of BGE (2.6~12.5 brix, X1) and curing time of BGE (17.58~102.42 min, X2). An assessment was conducted with four replicates on three independent variables: volatile basic amine (VBN, Y1), thiobarbituric acid (TBA, Y2), and shear force (Y3). The minimum content of VBN was 1.625 mg% at 3.17 brix, for 80.5 min. This was obtained when the BGE concentration was lower and the curing time was longer. The content of the TBA was 3.13~12.24 MA mg/kg at experiment range and the stationary point was at saddle point. Therefore, by using ridge analysis, the minimum point of TBA was 2.414 MA mg/kg at 3.5 brix for 84.4 min. The truth coefficient of the BGE concentration and curing time were 2.9 brix and 75.1 min, respectively, with a shear force ($120.764cm/kg^2$) shown at maximum point. The optimum Hunter color range was estimated from the lowest TBA value. The optimum range of the L color was 39.16~40.26, a and b color were 4.40~4.88 and 12.35~13.20, respectively.

The effect of dried mackerel extract on the production of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-${\alpha}$ (TNF-${\alpha}$), and interferon-${\gamma}$ (IFN-${\gamma}$), was investigated. All extracts and fractions from dried mackerel significantly reduced NO production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Among the extracts, acetone+methylene chloride (A+M), n-hexane, and 85% aqueous methanol (MeOH) showed the strongest inhibitory effects. The 85% aqueous MeOH fraction at a concentration of $10{\mu}g$ significantly decreased LPS-induced IL-6 and TNF-${\alpha}$ production after 6 hr of incubation. In the case of LPS-induced IFN-${\gamma}$ production, the 85% aqueous MeOH fraction decreased the production of IFN-${\gamma}$ afer 6, 24, and 72 hr of incubation in a dose-dependent manner. The results show that an 85% aqueous MeOH fraction inhibits the production of NO and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-${\alpha}$, IFN-${\gamma}$), suggesting that this fraction acts as a potent immunomodulator.

To examine the functional properties of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and ascidian tunic extracts in fish, we compared mackerel fed ascidian tunic extract and CLA (CA25) and a control group. The daily growth index of CA25 was 1.92 compared to 1.86 in the control group. The viscerosomatic index of CA25 was 36.7% lower than that of the control group. After 8 weeks, the protein content decreased from 19.7 to 17.5% in the CA25 group. The ascidian tunic extract content in the viscera was much higher than in muscle (0.13 vs. 0.03 mg/100 g) after 8 weeks. At the start, the n-3 fatty acid content of the experimental fish was 25.2% in muscle and 23.7% in viscera. The CLA content in muscle in the CA25 group was 2.1% after 4 weeks and 2.3% after 8 weeks. By contrast, the CLA content in viscera did not change after 8 weeks.
