In order to enhance suitable processing methods of imported Pacific saury, Cololabis saira, storage stability of seasoned-dried Pacific saury (imported product) treated with liquid smoke (T2 product) was compared with a control (C, seasoning only) and T1 (treatment of 0.05% BHT instead of liquid smoke). The histamine contents of 3 seasoned-dried products were within a stable range (9.08 ~ 12.08 mg/100 g) during storage. The water activities of all products were in the 0.698 ~ 0.755 range. The viable cell count of T2 was lower than those of C and T1 during storage. The change in color values of C, T1 and T2 were not significant with increasing storage period. The results of the sensory evaluation during storage showed that the shelf-life of T2 was extended to 60 days, while those of C and T1 were limited to up to 45 days.

As a series of studies on improving the processing suitability of imported Pacific saury, oxidative stability of seasoned-dried Pacific saury treated with liquid smoke (T2 product) was examined during storage, comparing with control (C, seasoning only) and T1 (treatment of 0.05% BHT instead of liquid smoke). The pH of T2 treated with liquid smoke was relatively lower than those of C and T1 during storage. The contents of volatile basic nitrogen in all products increased continuously during storage. In the changes of TBA and POV of products during storage, the POV of T2 was lower than that of T1, and the TBA values of T1 and T2 were lower than that of C product. The major fatty acids were 22 : 1n-11, 20 : 1n-11, 16 : 0, 14 : 0, 22 : 6n-3, 20 : 5n-3, 18 : 4n-3, 16 : 1n-7, 14 : 1n-7 and 18 : 1n-9 in the both C and T2 products. The contents of polyunsaturated fatty acids in hath C and T2 somewhat decreased with increasing storage period, while those of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids increased.
