The effects of processing and frozen storage conditions on the quality of anchovy Engraulis japonica fried surimi gels were investigated. Protein content decreased after surimi gel processing from 19.6% (raw meat) to 12.1% (kamaboko) due to the added ingredients and change in water content. Lipid content decreased from 2.8% (raw meat) to 1.3% in minced and 0.5% in surimi, but fried kamaboko showed a 6.9 % lipid level. Thiobarbituric acid values and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances levels were highest in kamaboko samples, 89.5 and 1.9 mg/g solid, and increased gradually with storage time to 101.8 and 4.6 mg/g solid, respectively. In vitro protein digestibility increased from 79.2% in raw anchovy to 88.5% in kamaboko samples. Levels of trypsin inhibitor decreased gradually with processing and during storage time from 2.43 in raw anchovy to 0.31 mg/g solid in the kamaboko sample after 60 days of frozen storage. No noticeable changes in total essential amino acid was observed during processing conditions. Computed protein efficiency ratio for kamaboko was highest (2.59) compared with whole anchovy (1.96), minced (1.94) and surimi (2.50). Fresh fried anchovy kamaboko showed similar values of hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness to commercial surimi gel, but a higher values were seen for fracturability and adhesiveness, and lower values for cohesiveness and resilience. The frozen and thawed anchovy kamaboko showed higher values for all of these rheological parameters compared with fresh and commercial kamaboko. Anchovy kamaboko showed the lowest lightness (62.9) and redness (0.16) and similar yellowness (11.9) compared with commercial kamaboko. Frozen storage and vacuum packaging were effective maintaining the shelf life of anchovy kamaboko within 30 days, but were not effective after 45 days due to fat oxidation.

To confirm the food quality and storage stability of commercial Korean kamaboko, we experimented with the composition and textural properties using various surimis and kamaboko products. We also investigated changes in protein digestibility and lipid oxidation of vacuum packed products under chilled storage at $4{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. Among the fish meatbased surimi, vegetable mixed surimi had the lowest protein content (23.73 %), as compared to other surimi (51.9-73.6%). Siginificant (P<0.05) differences in protein, lipid content and degree of fat oxidation were noted between the fried kamaboko products of three companies. Adhesiveness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience were similar in all samples, but there were notable differences in hardness and fractuability between samples. In vitro protein digestibility and trypsin indigestible substrate (TIS) were not inversely proportional in fried kamaboko products. The protein digestibility (80.30%) of steamed vegetable mixed fried kamaboko was lower than that of other fried samples (84.9-86.2%). Computed protein efficiency ratio (C-PER) of companies A and C's fried kamaboko was 2.6 but company B's was 1.9. There was no noticeable change in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs) or protein digestibility for any of the vacuum packed fried kamaboko during 30 days of chilled storage.

In this study, by using Landrock method modified by Yokozeki (1973) and Koizumi (1980), water activity ($a_w$) of various model preparations of Kamaboko was measured and ability of lowering $a_w$ of humectants added such as sodium chloride, sugars and polyols was discussed. The results were as follows : 1 The effect of sodium chloride on lowering aw was the highest among all of examined. When $4\%$ sodium chloride as humectant was added to the model Kamaboko, the $a_w$ was reduced to 0.94 or below. 2. Among the sugars, glucose was so effective that it lowered $a_w$ to 0.96 by adding $10\%$, but it would cause browning reaction on the Kamaboko surface. 3. Glycerin was the most effective among the polyols. When it was added by $10\%$, the $a_w$ of Kamaboko was reduced to 0.95. 4. It was more effective to decrease $a_w$ to lower moisture content of model Kamaboko.

Optimal processing conditions and shelf-life of steamed kamaboko made from Alaska pollock surimi were investigated, including protein digestibility, computed protein efficiency ratio (C-PER), trypsin inhibitor content and protein solubility. Steamed kamaboko containing $5\%$ starch and $33\%$ water in pollock surimi showed the best protein quality in terms of C-PER and protein digestibility. Steaming could not give any significant advantage over kamaboko protein digestibility but a higher C-PER resulted from steamed kamaboko. All kamaboko products had trypsin content of 1.4 to $2.0mg\%$ which was $10\%$ of total trypsin inhibitor levels in frozen pollock meat. A two stage steaming process, the first at $40^{\circ}C$ for 20min followed by a second 10min steaming period at $95^{\circ}C$, was found to be the most effective way of the most effective heating process for kamaboko protein quality. C-PERs of marketed Korean surimi products ranged from $2.8{\sim}2.9$ for steamed kamaboko and $2.9{\sim}3.2$ for crab meat analog which were superior to ANRC casein(2.5). Measured protein digestibility of all products were ranged from 86 to $89\%$. VBN and protein solubility data suggest Korean marketed surimi products could have a shelf-life of 15 days at $4^{\circ}C$ for crab meat analog and 20 days at $4^{\circ}C$ for steamed kamaboko.

The effects of the addition of herbs belonging to Allium species on the quality and storage characteristics of kamaboko were studied. The herbs employed in the study were garlic (Allium sativum for.Pekinenese Makino), leek(.Allium tuberosum Roth), onion(Allium cepa Linnaeus), and onion skin. water activity(Aw) , pH, TBA, VBN, microbial load, textural characteristics and sensory evaluation were tested. 1. Aw of all the samples decreased on storage, the Aw on lower day ranged from 0.937~o.950. All thesamples containing herbs retained the pH 6 ~7 during the entire storage period even though it decreased gradually on storage. 2. In general, TBA and VBN of the samples containing herbs were lower than the control. The sample containing 3% onion skin showed the lowest TBA and VBN value. 3. The total plate count of the samples containing herbs was low compared to the control even though the total count increased during the storage. The samples containing 3% garlic and 3% onion skin showed the lowest total plate count on 20 days of storage. 4. The sample with garlic showed remarkably low value in sensory evaluation. The samples containing onion and onion skin, however, reached to the high sensory points as storage period increased. They received high points in taste as well as overall acceptance.

The effect of starches such as potato, corn and wheat starch on the rheological properties of ocean jumbo squid kamaboko was investigated. Changes in the water holding capacity and color values of those kamaboko gels was also studied using the maximum gel strength endowing starch, Wheat starch could ive the better water holding capacity and breaking stress than potato or corn starch within $10{\%}$ additional level but corn starch resulted the highest those value at $20{\%}$ added. Wheat starch had higher level of breaking strain and jelly strength at $10{\%}$ then in descending order were corn starch, potato starch. But those starches were decreased after $15{\%}$ level. Texture map showed the simple rheological properties of each starches heat gel with jumbo squid kamaboko, Corn starch map showed more tough and brittle than the other. Potato starch map showed more elastic gel than corn starch. Wheat starch map could make elastic-mushy gel. There was no significant color differences of each starches but the whiteness of each starch showed increase when the starch rate was increased.

Mackerel water-soluble protein solution Mackerel meat washing water were concentrated by isoelectric point shifting precipitation process, and the concentrates were utilized as a material for processing of an elastic gel food such as kamaboko. The water-soluble proteins were partly polymerized during the isoelectric point shifting precipitation process. Then, the water soluble protein concentrates were partly substituted for frozen minced Alaska pollack meat in processing of a good quality kamaboko. The maximum substitution percentage for good quality kamaboko manufacturing was concluded to be below $30\%$, according to the criteria of color difference, jelly strength and folding tests using the substituted recovered protein concentrates.

In order to establish quality indices of commercial fish paste products, the contents of starch in fried fish meat pastes, crab meat analogs and steamed kamaboko were investigated, and significant correlation between starch and texture was also evaluated. from the results, the starch contents in fried fish meat pastes, crab meat analogs and steamed kamaboko were $16.5\sim20.6\%,\;12.4\sim17.3\%\;and\;8.1\sim8.7\%$, respectively. Two texture profiles such as hardness and elasticity had significantly correlation (p<0.01) with starch contents. Namely, the hardness had significantly positive correlation in fried fish meat pastes (r=0.78) and in crab meat analogs (r=0.71), respectively. Elasticity also had significantly negative correlation in fried fish meat pastes (r=-0.99).

For the effective utilizing of refined filefish viscera oil, it was added to fish meat paste based products as a dietary supplement of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The storage stability and physicochemical properties of the product(kamaboko) was tested. Lipid oxidation of kamaboko could be retarded and texture expressed as jelly strength could be enhanced by adding of emulsion curd prepared from water, refined filefish viscera oil and soybean protein and sodium erythorbate during the storage at 5$^{\circ}C$. These results suggested the possibility that the refined filefish viscera oil containing highly polyunsaturated fatty acid, especially EPA and DHA could be used as a food ingredient for dietary supply of the lipids.

In the previous study, we have reported the effect of lowering water activity of sodium chloride, sugars and polyols. In this study, water activity($a_w$)of various model Preparations of Kamaboko was measured and ability of lowering $a_w$ of starch, glycine and sodium lactate was discussed. In addition, the aw measurements were also compared to the predicted values of au which were derived from the equation of Raoult's law and the linear slope method by Sloan ana Labuza. The effect of starch on lowering $a_w$ was very low, and glycine was more effective than starch. Sodium lactate was shown to be the most effective among humectants examined. When it was added by $7.5\%$, the $a_w$ of model Kamaboko A was reduced to 0.93-0.94. Generally, prediction by the equation of Raoult's law turned out to be useful for determining $a_w$ lowering effect of humectants, excepting sodium chloride and sodium lactate. The equation of regression derived from the least squares could be applied to Predicting au in the model Kamaboko.
