In the present work, the quality stability of sun-dried Alaska pollack, Theragra chalcogramma, was discussed in the aspects of non-enzymatic discoloration as a function of relative humidity during storage at room temperature$(20^{\circ}C)$. Frozen Alaska pollack was dressed, filleted, dried for 48 hours in the open air, and finally stored in cylindrical acrylic chambers which contained saturated specific salt solutions proposed by Rockland(1960) for humidity control. The color development of the product was analyzed by spectrophotometry at 10 day-intervals during the storage. Lipid oxidation was measured as TBA value at wavelength of 538nm. And browning pigments were extracted, divided into two fractions and measured at 460nm: one was chloroform-methanol (2:1 v/v)soluble fraction attributed to lipid oxidation, and the other was water dialyzed fraction caused by so called Maillard reaction. The TBA value showed a maximum on 30 day storage, hereafter, intended to decrease gradually. On the other hand, the rate of brown pigment development in water dialyzed fractions as well as in chloroform-methanol soluble fractions was lower at 34 to 45%RH than at any other case, and propagation of lipid oxidation was also diminished at the same levels of humidity. From the facts described previously, it is recognized that storage at 34 to 45%RH provides higher quality stability for sun-dried Alaska pollack.

The objective of this study was to investigate the sensory quality attributes for the development of soy sauce containing Hutgae(Hovenia dulcis Thunb). Aqueous extracts of Hutgae were prepared from different parts such as trunk, twig, and fruit. These extracts were used for determining the antioxidant effect by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenging activity and sensory evaluation. Hutgae twig and fruit extracts had a strong DPPH scavenging effect compared to Hutgae trunk extract. In sensory analysis, high intensities of roast smell, bitter taste, and astringent taste were observed in Hutgae twig extract, whereas those of sweet smell and sweet taste were predominated within Hutgae fruit extract. Hutgae trunk and fruit extracts obtained higher overall acceptability. Various seasoning items such as anchovy, dried-pollack, katsuobushi, shiitake, radish, and kelp were used to determine the suitable type of soy sauce containing Hutgae extracts regarding the different parts. Hutgae fruit and trunk extracts were evaluated for use as a good source of seasoned soy sauce, and the dried-pollack and radish among the seasoning items were well-matched with Hutgae extracts. From these results, soy sauce containing Hutgae trunk and fruit extracts added to dried-pollack soup may be used as a functional seasoning in order to remove hangovers.

The present study was conducted to elucidate the pattern in changes of trimethylamine oxide and related compounds in the muscle of Alaska pollack during drying, especially referred to formaladehyde and dimethylamine. Three kinds of dried samples of Alaska pollack, sun dried, hot-air dried, and salted-sun dried, were prepared and analyzed for their contents of trimethylamine oxide, trimethylamine, dimethylamine, and formaldehyde. The amount of trimethylamine oxide remained in the salted-sun dried sample was relatively higher than those in the other two samples. In the content of trimethylamine, the hot-air dried sample showed an exceedingly high value shelving forty-two times higher than the raw sample while the other two samples showed barely three to four times content based on the raw sample. The dimethylamine content in the hot-air fried sample was comparatively lower than those in the other two samples, the former marked about ten folds of the raw sample's and tile latter showed about fifteen folds, respectively. Refering to the content of formaldehyde, it decreased to eighty-three percent of initial content in the hot-air dried sample. On the contrary, it increased about two times initial content in the other two samples, respectively. As a tendency, the formaldehyde content appeared increased or decreased correlatively with the dimethylamine content, whereas the case was reverse for the trimethylamine content.

This study was undertaken to investigate the knowledge and the use of Korean traditional basic side dishes, dried side dishes and Jabans, by housewives. Among the 59 kinds dried side dishes and Jabans, the most well-known food (above 90% of subjects) turned out to be squid Po (dried strip), kong Jaban (seasoned bean), pollack Po, dried yellow croacker, build -dried anchovy Jaban and laver Boogag in the order. In cooking experience of dried side dish and Jaban, over 40% of subjects for build-dried anchovy Jaban, squid Po, dried yellow croacker and kong Jaban have cooked frequently. The proportion of subjects who has bought the marketed dried side dishes and Jaban products was 61.5%. Major problem of that products was pointed out for a sanitary condition and high price. If marketed dried basic side dishes and Jabans were improved over the aspects, the proportion of subjects who would buy the products was 70.0%. Preparation ability of these basic side dishes was influenced by age and educational level. The working housewives had higher frequency in use than the non-job housewives. The interesting degree for basic side dishes was not significantly different from age, resident area and educational level.

Drying curves for raw Alaska pollack seemed to follow typical food dehydration process with a very short initial settling down period. It was evident that there are some differences in drying rates between each part of fish body showing the highest drying rate for fish head followed by that for fish skin and that for flesh, presumably because of differences in water holding capacity of the components of each part. Specifically, the drying curve of fish flesh revealed that a boundary layer, thereby, a time period, existed which showed a big difference in moisture content and/or water activity as drying proceeds. The boundary layer in fish flesh with high moisture content between the layer contributes to reduce drying rate mainly as a consequence of protein aggregation resulting in hardening of fish flesh. The first boundary layer in this work appeared to show within several hours after initiation of drying. For Hwangtae, a naturally cyclic freeze-thaw dried and aged Alaska pollack which was popular in Korea, manufacturing process, it is clear that periodic moistening of boundary layer in fish flesh prohibits hardening fish flesh in boundary layer and enables steady moisture diffusion from inside of the fish flesh to surface of the fish body.

An rat liver enzyme test was carried out in order to investigate preventing effect of selested amino acids and some food extracts on ethanol induced liver toxicity in vitro. Solutions of aspartic acid, arginine, glutamic acid were prepared and treated on ethanol treated rat liver preparation. Protective effect of amino acids on lipid peroxidation was determined. Same experiments were conducted using aqueous extracts of Dried soybean sprout, Dried Alaskan pollack and Ganoderma lucidum. The TBA value indicating the lipid peroxidation decreased significantly (p<0.05) by addition of aspartate, glutamate and arginine, repectively at concentrations of $6.25{\sim}50\;{\mu}g/mL$. Similar results were observed by adding the aqueous extracts of Soybean sprout, dried Alaskan pollack and Ganoderma lucidum. The aqueous extracts added after ethanol treatment presemted more effect than added before the treatment.

The following is the test result of a clculation of the quantity of flavor content, that is, sixteen different kinds of free amino acid, found in both fresh and dried fish used widely as foodstuff here in Korea. 1. Throughout our test we were able to extract only a small amount of arginine though the amount of lysine, histidine, glycine, alanine and glutamic acid was comparatively large. 2. The test also showed that the amount of lysine decreased when a given fish dried up. The amount of methionine decreased in the case of Alaskan pollack though it increased in the case of Yellow corvenia. We also learned in our experiment that the amount of other flavor components increased though in varying degrees. 3. On the other hand, the content of free amino acid found in Yellow corvenia was much higher than in Alaskan pollack 4. And lastly, the test showed us that if and when the inflence of free amino acid is viewed strictly as a flavor-producing component, dried fish has much more flavor (and taste) than fresh fish.

Fish protein hydrolysates (FPHs) with different degrees of hydrolysis by treatment with alcalase, pronase, flavourzyme and trypsin and isolated peptide were prepared from Hwangtae (yellow dried pollack, Theragra chalcogramma). Hwangtae protein hydrolysate was fractionated according to the molecular weight into six major types of APO1 (1.3 kDa), APO2 (1 kDa), APO3 (<1 kDa), APACE (<1 kDa), APG1 (70 kDa) and APG2 (70 kDa) isolated from the hydrolysate using consecutive chromatographic methods. Soluble peptide were produced from Hwangtae and evaluated for their nutritional and functional properties. Some functional properties of FPHs were assessed and compared with those of egg albumin or the soybean protein. APO2 had the highest nitrogen solubility value (94.2%), emulsion capacity and emulsion stability of the Alaska Pollack peptide ranged from 12.4 to 39.5 (mL of oil per 200 mg of protein) and 44.0% to 77.5%, respectively. Highest and lowest fat adsorption values were observed for APG1 (9.9 mL of oil per gram of protein) and APO3 (3.8 mL of oil per gram of protein), respectively.

A total of 31 commercial dried marine food products, consisting of 14 fishes, 2 shellfishes and 2 seaweeds species were analyzed for their contents of precusors of N-nitrosamine such as dimethylamine(DMA), trimethylamine(TMA), trimethylamine oxide (TMAO), betaine and nitrate and nitrite nitrogen as factors of N-nitrosamine formation. Carcinogenic N-nitrosamines were extracted by a steam distillation apparatus and were analyzed for their components using a gas chromatography-thermal energy analyzer. N-nitrosodimethylamine(NDMA) was confirmed by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The contents of betaine nitrogen in samples were in the range of $5.2{\sim}373.8mg\%$ and were significantly higher than tertiary amines such as TMA and TMAO. DMA nitrogen in those samples was in the range of trace-31.2ppm and was high, in the dried shark(31.2ppm), alaska pollack($22.9{\sim}24.3ppm$) and octopus($17.9{\sim}18.4ppm$). In dried laver and sea mustard, however, amines were not detected at all. The levels of nitrate nitrogen in the dried marine samples ranged from zero to 16.8ppm and were high in the dried stingray(16.8ppm), alaska pollack(16.3ppm) and squid($2.2{\sim}12.4ppm$), but were less than 1.0 ppm in other samples. The levels of nitrite nitrogen were lower than those of nitrate nitrogen and it was not detected in dried sea cucumber, laver and sea mustard. Twenty eight of 31 samples contained NDMA($range=1.2{\sim}86.0ppb$), which was the only volatile N-nitroso compound found. The NDMA levels of dried stingray($2.8{\sim}86.0ppb$), alaska pollack($8.2{\sim}55.5ppb$), squid($3.3{\sim}53.2ppb$), yellow corvenia($45.9ppb$) and plain dried shrimp($15.4{\sim}17.9ppb$) were high. However, it was not detected in dried sea cucumber, laver and sea mustard. Samples, containing high levels of NDMA, also contained high nitrate and nitrite nitrogen. From above results, it can be concluded that nitrate and nitrite were major factors for the formation of NDMA in dried marine food products.
