  • Studies on the application of intermittent sterilization (Tyndallization) to fish paste products

    Project Period (FY): 2022/04  -  2025/03  Investigator(s): Osako Kazufumi

    Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(C)  Principal Investigator  22K05830 

    In order to obtain a high-quality fish paste product that can be stored for a long time, a manufacturing method for fish paste products using an intermittent sterilization method, the optimal processing conditions, and the effects of intermittent sterilization on the gel physical properties and physicochemical properties of proteins, as well as the effects on long-term storage were examined. As a result of the study, the optimal processing conditions for fish paste products were established, and compared them with those sterilized by retort, and found that kamaboko processed by the intermittent sterilization method showed superior physical properties. During long-term storage, no microbial growth was observed in either the intermittent-sterilized or retort-sterilized kamaboko gels. In addition, changes occurred in proteins and lipids during storage, but these are thought to be interrelated.

  • Development of kamaboko gel from small anchovy

    Project Period (FY): 2019/04  -  2022/03  Investigator(s): Kazufumi Osako

    Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(C)  Principal Investigator  19K06233 

    With the aim of utilizing small-sized Japanese anchovy as a raw material for kamaboko, a protein recovery method, the gel-forming ability of the recovered protein, and endogenous protease of the anchovy were investigated. It was found that proteins could be recovered by the salt-water recovery method with retaining their functionalities. It was suggested that serine-type proteases mainly deteriorate gel formation of the recovered protein by degrading the proteins during the dehydration process. The gel-forming ability of the recovered proteins was also found to be enhanced by inhibition of serine proteases.

  • Utilaization of isopod as a foodstuff

    Project Period (FY): 2016/04  -  2019/03  Investigator(s): Kazufumi Osako

    Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research(C)  Principal Investigator  16K07869 

    To utilize isopod Bathynomus doederleinii as a foodstuff, recovering method of protein from isopod, gel-forming ability of recovered protein, endogenous protease of recovered protein, and allergen were investigated. The protein with relatively higher functionality could be obtained by salt water treatment method. Although the gel-forming ability of recovered protein was somewhat lower than that of fish meat, recovered meat from isopod was assumed to be utilized as a raw material of kamaboko. The somewhat lower gel-forming ability is possibly caused by metallo-type protease and serine-type protease. However, isopod was clarified to contain tropomyosin which is an allergen of crustaceans. The further study is needed to reduce the amount of allergen including tropomyosin.
