Alaska pollock roe is mainly used as a raw material for fermented seafood, especially in the East Asia. Kernels of Alaska pollock roe are not valuable as a raw material and usually discarded as a waste product. In order to utilize the broken roes of Alaska pollock, the smoked product, a imitated sausage, was manufactured for commercial production. Texture intensity (hardness and gumminess) and sensory evaluation (taste and acceptability) of the smoked Alaska pollock roe packed with collagen casing were evaluated based on mixture design and regression models. At higher concentration of carrageenan and lower concentration of starch in the formula of the smoked Alaska pollock roe, higher texture intensity and sensory scores were obtained. pH values of all treatments (control, vacuum and $N_2$ packages) increased up to 6.28, 6.23 and 6.24 on 4 months of storage, respectively, and then decreased. The numbers of VBN, TBA and viable cell counts increased during storage periods, higher in control than in vacuum and $N_2$ packages. Coliform bacteria was not detected in all treatment during storage periods.

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.

Alaska pollock roe is mainly used for the production of salt-seasoned and fermented seafood (Myungran-jeot). Alaska pollock roes with broken egg membrane are usually discarded as a waste product. In this study, the broken roes of Alaska pollock were salt-seasoned and stuffed into cellulose casing for commercial production. The chemical and microbial changes of the broken roes of Alaska pollock stuffed into cellulose casing fermented at 5 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, were analyzed at different ripening periods. On 5 week fermentation, pH decreased down to 5.60 and 5.10 at 5 and $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, but the amounts of lactic acid, amino-nitrogen, and volatile basic nitrogen increased continously as ripening period increased, higher at 25 than $5^{\circ}C$. The amounts of amino-nitrogen, 620 and 780 mg/100 g, were the highest on 3 week fermentation at $5^{\circ}C$ and on 1 week at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively. The numbers of total viable cell and lactic acid bacteria, $3.1{\times}10^6$ and $3.1{\times}10^5\;CFU/g$ at $5^{\circ}C$, and $1.9{\times}10^7$ and $2.8{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$ at $25^{\circ}C$, respectively, were the highest on 2 week fermentation.
