For the use of skipjack tuna cooking drip (STC) as a source of functional seasoning, the STC was hydrolyzed with various commercial enzymes, such as Alcalase, Flavourzyme, Neutrase and Protamex, and its hydrolysate was also investigated on the food component characteristics. The hydrolysate incubated with Alcalase for 30 min (HA30) showed 56.8% for angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and 1.18 for antioxidative activity, which were high or similar compared to the other enzymatic hydrolysates. There were no differences in ACE inhibitory activity and antioxidative activity among HA30, two-step enzymatic hydrolysates, and ultrafilterates (molecular weight cut off, 10 kDa). The HA30 was very stable on the digestive enzymes, such as chymotrypsin, pepsin, trypsin according to the TCA (trichloroacetic acid) soluble index. The results suggested that skipjack tuna cooking drip could be used as a source for preparing functional seasoning sauce.

This study was conducted to investigate on food component characteristics of seafood cooking drips (skipjack tuna cooking drip, octopus cooking drip and oyster cooking drip) as a source of functional seasoning. Heavy metal contents of seafood cooking drips were below food safety level. Among seafood cooking drips concentrated to 5 folds, the crude protein content was the highest (18.1%) in skipjack tuna cooking drip (SCD). The free amino acid content and taste value were higher in SCD than in other seafood cooking drips, and the major free amino acids were glutamic acid and aspartic acid. Total amino acid content of SCD was 16.2 g/100 mL and the major amino acids were glutamic acid (11.9%), proline (9.2%), glycine (9.1%) and histidine (11.5%). SCD in comparison with other seafood cooking drips showed the highest angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity at $IC_{50}$ of 14.1 mg/mL. These results suggested that SCD could be used as a source of functional seasoning.

The enzymatic hydrolysate of skipjack tuna cooking drip with good functionality was prepared by incubation with Alcalase for 30 min. For the preparation of functional seasoning sauce with enzymatic hydrolysate (SSE), the additives, such as concentrated enzymatic hydrolysate (100 mL), yeast extract powder (0.7 g), lactose (0.4 mL), liquid smoke (0.3 g) and sea tangle powder (1.4 g), were added to the enzymatic hydrolysate and boiled before filtration. The proximate composition of SSE was 11.8% for crude protein, 5.77 for pH and 11.9% for salinity. The SSE was higher in the crude protein, while lower in the salinity than commercial seasoning sauce. ACE inhibitory activity ($IC_{50}$) and antioxidative activity (PF) of SSE were 6.2 mg/mL and 1.14, respectively, which were superior to those (9.9 mg/mL in IC50 and 0.91 in PF) of commercial seasoning sauce. The free amino acid content (1,905.2 mg/100 mL) and taste value (58.65) of SSE were higher than in those (712.7 mg/100 mL and 34.30, respectively) of commercial sauce. Total amino acid content of SSE (10,965 mg/100 mL) was higher than that (4,818 mg/100 mL) of commercial sauce. The major amino acids of SSE were glutamic acid (12.2%), proline (11.0%), histidine (10.7%) and glycine (9.9%). The results suggested that SSE could be commercially sold.
