The objective of this study was to investigate Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma roe grade distribution among blocks and its nutritional components by grade. M grade roe was predominantly distributed in blocks labeled as L and M (52.1 and 82.8%, respectively), and S grade roe was mainly found in blocks labeled as S (98.6%). Products labeled as containing KB and KC grade roe contained 77.1 and 65.5% normal roe, respectively. Among the five roe grades (L, M, S, G, and Off), total amino acid content was higher in normal roe than in abnormal roe. The major amino acids found in normal roe were leucine, aspartic acid, and glutamic acid, whereas G and Off grade roe contained leucine and glutamic acid, but not aspartic acid. The calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and iron contents of the five roe grades were within the ranges 13.0-20.0, 314.4-392.0, 124.1-157.7, and 1.7-2.2 mg/100 g, respectively. The five roe grades contained total fatty acid contents of 765-1,252 mg/100 g, with no significant differences among grades. The major fatty acids were 16:0, 18:1n-9, 20:5n-3, and 22:6n-3.

Alaska pollock roe is mainly used as the production salted instead of salt-seasoned seafood (Myungranjeot). Alaska pollock roes with broken egg membrane are usually discarded as a waste product. In order to utilize the broken roes of Alaska pollock, imitated fish sausage was manufactured for commercial production. Hardness, cohesiveness, elasticity, brittleness, and gumminess of Alaka pollock roe sausage were evaluated based on mixture design and regression models. The higher amounts of carrageenan and tile lower amounts of starch caused the higher the texture intensity of Alaska pollock roe sausage. The pHs of control, vacuum and $N_2$ packages, increased up to 6.28, 6.23 and 6.24, respectively, during 4 months storage and then decreased. The values of volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), thiobarbituric acid (TBA), and total viable cell counts increased during storage periods, while the parameters were higher in control than in vacuum and Na packages. Coliform bacteria was not detected in all treatments during storage periods.
