To determine changes of heme compounds on lipid oxidation during repeat heating in white muscled fish (yellowfin sole and yellow croaker), myoglobin, metmyoglobin, total iron, nonheme iron and heme iron contents were analysed. Myoglobin content was decreased in the step of repeat heating. Especially, it was decreased the most rapidly roasted at 180$^{\circ}C$ for 20 min in fillet samples. The skinless fillet roasted at the lower temperature resulted in the higher level of metmyoglobin associated with the reduced myoglobin. Regardless of roasted temperature and time, total iron content was not change in contrast of raw meat throughout processing. Nonheme iron content was increased, but heme iron content was decreased during roasted, heated and reheated.

With a view to increase utility of ethanol fractionated fish skin gelatin as a food source, the effect of gelation condition on physical properties of the gelatin was investigated. The physical properties of gelatins treated with or without ethanol were improved with a concentration of gelatin increased. The properties such as gel strength, melting point and gelling point of 10% gelatin sol or gel were reached to maximum at pH 6.0 in ethanol treated gelatin and pH 5.0 in non treated one, respectively. Gel strength and melting point of both gelatin gels chilled for long time at low temperature were superior to those of both gelatin gels chilled for short time at high temperature. Gel strength, melting point and gelling point of ethanol treated gelatin gel or sol prepared under optimized gelation conditioning were superior to those of non treated one.

This study investigated the potential of collagenous protein fractions (CPFs) as functional foods. The specific CPFs studied were recovered from the roe of bastard halibut (BH), Paralichthys olivaceus; skipjack tuna (ST), Katsuwonus pelamis; and yellowfin tuna (YT), Thunnus albacares through the alkaline solubilization process at pH 11 and 12. The buffer capacity, water-holding capacity and solubility of CPFs with pH-shift treatment were significantly better at alkaline pH (10-12) than at acidic pH (2.0). At pH-shift treatment (pH 2 and 12), the foaming capacities of CPFs from ST and YT were improved compared to those of controls, but they were unstable compared to BH CPFs. The emulsifying activity index (EAI, $m^2/g$ protein) of CPFs (controls) was 16.0-21.1 for BH, 20.1-23.9 for ST and 9.3-13.7 for YT (P<0.05). CPFs adjusted to pH 12 showed improved EAI and YT CPFs showed significantly greater emulsifying ability than those from BH and ST. CPFs recovered from fish roe are not only protein sources but also have a wide range of food functionalities, confirming the high availability of fish sausage and surimi-based products as protein or reinforcing materials for functional foods and alternative raw materials.

A continuous hollow fiber membrane reactor(CHFMR) was developed and optimized for the production of yellowfin sole(Limanda aspera) skin gelatin hydrolysates using trypsin. The results were summerized as follows: The $K_m$ value of the CHFMR was 2.4 times higher than that of the batch reactor, indicating reduced enzyme affinity for the substrate. The $K_2$ value of the CHFMR was 8.5 times lower than that of the batch process, showing a significant reduction in trypsin activity in the CHFMR. The optimum operating conditions for the CHFMR process were $55^{\circ}C$, pH 9.0, flux 7.79 ml/min, residence time 77min, and trypsin to substrate ratio, 0.01(w/w) After operating for 60min under the above conditions, $79\%$ of the total amount of initial gelatin was hydrolysed. Enzyme leakage was observed through the 10,000 MWCO membrane after the 20min of reactor operation, while none occurred after 5hr. Total enzyme leakage was about $12.95\%$ at $55^{\circ}C$ for 5hrs. However, there was no apparent correlation between enzyme leakage and substrate hydrolysis. The membrane has a significant effect on trypsin activity loss for 60min of the CHFMR operation. The CHFMR operating with the membrane lost $34\%$ of the initial activity versus a $23\%$ loss of activity after 3hr in the continuous reactor lacking the hollow fiber membrane. The measurement of fouling property showed that relative flux reduction was $91\%$ and flux recover rate was $92\%$ at $10\%$ substrate solution. The productivity(378.85mg product/mg enzyme) of the CHFMR was more than 4 times higher than that of the batch reactor at $55^{\circ}C$.

The food components of fish (skipjack tuna, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, conger eel, salmon, Spanish mackerel, armored weasel-fish) frames and their hot-water extracts were investigated to explore their possibilities as resources for fish Gomatang. According to the results of volatile basic nitrogen and heavy metal, bluefin tuna and salmon frames were below the safety limits suggested by Codex Code. Thus, bluefin tuna and salmon frames appeared to be safe as basic ingredients for fish Gomtang. The major components of all hot-water extracts from fish frames were nitrogenous component. According to the results of extractive nitrogen and sensory evaluations of hot-water extracts from fish frames, the salmon frame was a good raw material as a basic ingredient of fish Gomtang. The calcium and phosphorus contents of hot-water extracts from salmon frame were 18.0 mg/100mL and 33.1 mg/100mL, respectively.

To utilize effectively fish skin wasted from fish processing, a dover sole skin gelatin was prepared by alkaline extraction method and the physico-chemical properties were examined. Conditions for the suitable pretreatment, extraction and decolorization for gelatin preparation from dover sole skin are as follows: the skin is limed with 1.0% calcium hydroxide solution at $5^{\circ}C$ for 4 days, washed thoroughly for 2 days with tap water, extracted with 5 volumes of water $(pH\;5.0{\sim}7.0)$ to dehydrated skin for 3 hours at $50^{\circ}C$, and then bleached with 3% activated carbon. Though dover sole skin gelatin was prepared under above conditions, physico-chemical property values such the melting point and gelling point of that were lower than those of yellowfin sole skin gelatin as well as the commercial pork skin gelatin. Therefore, the purified dover sole skin gelatin requires a suitable modification operation for better quality gelatin manufacture.

This study evaluated the protein recovery and functional properties and biological activity of boiled and steamed process water (BPW and SPW, respectively) generated from the preparation of concentrated roe of bastard halibut (BH; Paralichthys olivaceus), skipjack tuna (ST; Katsuwonus pelamis), and yellowfin tuna (YT; Thunnus albacares) using the cook-dry process. The protein loss from the water extracts (EXT) of 100 g of roe protein was 15.05-19.71% and was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of BPW (5.47-10.34%) and SPW (3.88-8.18%). The foam capacity of BPW (166-203%) and SPW (15-194%) was better than that of EXT. The emulsifying activity index of the original samples was lower than those ($15.40-107.86m^2/g$) of diluted protein samples. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and the reducing power of BPW and SPW were stronger than those of EXT. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid ($ABTS^+$) radical scavenging activity of EXT (0.028-0.045mg/mL) was significantly higher those of BPW and SPW. The angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity of SPW was the highest for BH (1.04 mg/mL), followed by YT and ST. The predominant amino acids in SPW were Glu, Ala, Leu, and His. These results demonstrate that processing water containing diluted organic components, including protein, can be consumed directly by humans as a functional reinforcing material after appropriate concentration processes.

A protease inhibitor was fractionated from fish eggs using methods based on protein solubility. Fractionation efficiency was evaluated with regard to percent recovery and total inhibitory activity (U). The fractionation of protease inhibitor (PI) from egg extracts of skipjack tuna (ST, Katsuwonus pelamis), yellowfin tuna (YT, Thunnus albacores), and Alaska pollock (AP, Theragra chalcogramma) was performed by precipitation with cold acetone or ammonium sulfate (AS). Fractions exhibiting the strongest inhibitory activity contained 20-40% (v/v) cold acetone or 40-60% saturated AS fractions. AS fractionation was more effective in isolating PI than was precipitation with acetone. The total inhibitory activity and percent recovery of fraction obtained with AS 40-60% toward trypsin and $N{\alpha}$-benzoyl-L-arginine-p-nitroanilide (BAPNA) were 4,976 U and 24.2% for ST, 3,331 U and 38.1% for YT, and 4,750 U and 43.8% for AP, respectively. In comparisons against six commercial proteases, 40-80% AS fractions, made by combining the 40-60% and 60-80% AS fractions from fish egg extract, exhibited the strongest inhibition of trypsin when using a casein substrate. These results suggest that fish eggs act as serine protease inhibitors and may be useful for protease inhibition in foodstuffs.

The materials were obtained in the eastern Gulf of Alaska and the south- eastern Bering Sea during the cruise of the research vessel, Ohdae San, from July to October 1978. A total of 76 samples were taken by NORPAC net from a depth of 200 meters or less in coastal areas. 1. The surface water temperature in the coastal waters, varing from 9 to 10$^{\circ}C$, was lower than that in offshore waters which varied from 10 to 12.9$^{\circ}C$ in the eastern Gulf of Alaska. Thermocline was formed in the 30∼50 meter layer. Salinity of the coastal waters of Kenai Peninsula and Kodiak was 30 which was slightly lower than that of offshore. 2. The water temperature of the surface layer down to 30 meters varied from 7 to 10$^{\circ}C$ and from 1 to 9$^{\circ}C$ in the layer below 30 meters in the south-eastern Bering Sea. Meandering thermal front spread from the Alaska Peninsula to St. Matthew Island by way of St. Paul, and a thermocline was found at the 30∼50 meter layer Salinity ranged from 31.0 to 33.0 and that of northern and coastal waters was little lower than that of offshore. 3. Zooplankton biomass fluctuated from 0.1 to 23.6cc/10㎥ in the eastern Gulf of Alaska and 2.0 to 26.1cc/10㎥ in the south-eastern Bering Sea. Plankton was rich in the following areas, the inshore Kodiak waters, the northern Bering Sea, the Coastal waters and waters adjacent to Alutian islands however, poor in the central Bering Sea. In general, the south-eastern Bering Sea has a higher concentration of plankton volume than the eastern Gulf of Alaska. 4. Twenty three species representing 17 genera of copepods were identified from the samples. These were mostly composed of the cold water species, such as Pseudocalanus minutus, Acartia longiremis, Metridia lucens and Eucalanus bungii var. bungii. 5. The cold oceanic species were composed of Calanus cristatus, C.plumchrus, Metridia lucens, Eucalanus bungii var. bungii and Scolecithricella minor. The cold neritic species were Centropages abdominalis, Pseudocalanus minutus, Acartia longiremis, Eurytemora herdmanii, Pontella pulvinata, P. longipedata and Tortanus discaudatus. On the other hand, the warm oceanic species were Calanus tenuicornis and Oithona plumifera. The cosmopolitan species were Calanus finmarchicus and Oithona similis. 6. It was suggested that the cold oceanic species, Eucalanus bungii var. bungii and Metridia lucens in the south-eastern Bering Sea can be recommended as a valuable indicator species for finding the fishing grounds of demersal fish such as pollock and yellowfin sole in this area.

This study evaluated the protein recovery, functional properties and biological activity of isolate processed water (IPW) generated in the preparation of protein isolates from fish roes (BH, bastard halibut Paralichthys olivaceus; ST, skipjack tuna Katsuwonus pelamis; YT, yellowfin tuna Thunnus albacares) by an isoelectric solubilization and precipitation process. The IPWs contained 2.7-5.4 mg/mL of protein, and the protein losses were 8-21% (P<0.05). The form capacity of IPW-3 for BH and ST, and IPW-4 for YT was 155, 194, and 164%, respectively. The emulsifying activity index ($27-43m^2/g$) of the YT-IPWs was the strongest, followed by ST ($7-29m^2/g$) and BH ($10-19m^2/g$). The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activities of IPW-1 and -3 were higher than those of IPW-2 and -4. The 2,2'-azino-bis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid scavenging activity ($IC_{50}$, mg/mL) of IPW-2 and -4 was 0.03 mg/mL for BH, 0.04-0.08 mg/mL for ST, and 0.04-0.07 mg/mL for YT. BH IPW-3 had the strongest reducing power (0.41 mg/mL) and superoxide dismutase-like activity (1.68 mg/mL). The angiotensin-I converting enzyme inhibitory activity of IPW-3 was the highest for ST (1.52 mg/mL), followed by BH and YT. The common predominant amino acids in the IPWs were the essential amino acids Val, Leu, Lys, and Arg and the non-essential amino acids Ser, Glu, and Ala.
