This study was conducted to investigate the effects of gamma irradiation on the change of volatile flavor compounds of raw oyster and its cooking drips using headspace methods. Major volatile flavor compounds of the raw oyster were identified as methylthiomethane and 1,5-hexadiene. When the raw oyster was irradiated at the dose of 5 kGy, 1-pentane was newly detected. On the other hand, 9 compounds including N-methoxyformaldehyde were identified as the major volatile compounds of cooking drips from oyster. Among them, N-methoxyformaldehyde contents in cooking drip was decreased by the gamma irradiation. By the gamma irradiation above 30 kGy, new heterocyclic compounds was found in oyster cooking drips. Therefore, the amount of volatile flavor compounds in the raw oyster and cooking drips were changed by gamma irradiation, and these results could be potentially used in the seasoning industry.

Cooking drips which were obtained as by-product after seafood processing in the food industries, still contain lots of proteins, carbohydrates, and other functional materials. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the biological activities of seafood cooking drips. When the cooking drips of Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleini and Thunnus thynnus were irradiated, the antioxidant activities, whitening effect, and angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibition activity of the ethanol extract from seafood cooking drips were all increased by gamma irradiation. This was because of the increased extraction efficiency of available compounds by irradiation. These results suggested that the seafood cooking drips, wasted as by-products, can be used as functional compounds with gamma irradiation treatment.

In this study, the identification of the irradiated seafood cooking drips from Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleini and Thunnus thynnus was conducted. The physical detection methods used included photo-stimulated luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL), and the chemical detection methods were hydrocarbons analysis. In the PSL study, all seafood cooking drip samples showed 260~510 photon counts; thus, the PSL method could not be used for the detection of irradiated seafood cooking drips. The TL method could be used for the detection of irradiated H. fusiformis and E. dofleini cooking drips. In both cooking drips, the shapes of the glow curves indicated a specific peak at 150$^{\circ}C$~250$^{\circ}C$, which made it possible to identify the irradiated samples. The hydrocarbons derived by gamma irradiation of T. thynnus cooking drip were not detected due to low concentration and inconsistent content of fatty acids in the untreated T. thynnus cooking drip.

Cooking drips which were obtained as by-product after seafood processing in the food industries, still contain lots of proteins, carbohydrates, and other functional materials. But, the seafood cooking drips are easily contaminated because of its rich nutrients, and their color are very dark. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the quality of seafood cooking drips including Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleini, and Thunnus thynnus. The Hunter's color values (L, Brightness) of H. fusiformis, and T. thynnus were increased with increasing irradiation doses, showing becoming bright. The crude protein content and crude lipid content were increased by gamma irradiation. These results indicated that gamma irradiation increased extraction efficiency of available compounds in cooking drips.

Although seafood cooking drips were the byproducts from the fishery industry it was known that the cooking drips had many nutrients and could be used as functional materials. Previously, the physiological properties of cooking drips were shown to be increased by a gamma irradiation. But, there was no report on the safe for the genotoxicity on the irradiation. In this study, the genotoxicity of the cooking drips from Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleni and Thunnus thynnus was evaluated by the Ames test (Salmonella typhimurium reversion assay) and the SOS chromotest. The results from all samples were negative in the bacterial reversion assay with S. typhimurium TA98, TA100. No mutagenicity was detected in the assay, both with and without metabolic activation. The SOS chromotest also indicated that the gamma-irradiated seafood cooking drips did not show any mutagenicity. Therefore, this study indicated that gamma irradiation could be used for the hygiene, functional properties and processibility of seafood cooking drips.

Microorganisms in seafood cooking drips were counted and identified. Total viable cell counts were 6.40 and 3.10 log CFU/g in cooking drips of Hizikia fusiformis and Thunnus thynnus, respectively. However, microbial populations fell with increased irradiation doses. In H. fusiformis cooking drips, a 5-log reduction in total aerobic bacteria was obtained by irradiation with 5 kGy. In T. thynnus cooking drips, however, contaminating microorganisms were more resistant to gamma irradiation and only a 1-log reduction was seen. DNA sequence analysis showed that the principal contaminating microorganisms in H. fusiformis and T. thynnus cooking drips were Lactobacillus and Bacillus species, respectively. Therefore, the high irradiation resistance of T. thynnus cooking drips microbes may result from spore formation by Bacillus species.

Although the seafood cooking drips were the byproducts from the fishery industry and being wasted, it had many nutrients including proteins. In this study, the effect of a gamma irradiation on the cooking drips from Hizikia fusiformis, Enteroctopus dofleni and Thunnus thynnus were investigated. The cooking drips were extracted with 70% ethanol solution, and the extracts were analysed for the protein concentration by three different methods of Lowry, BCA and Kjeldahl. The extracts were irradiated with different doses and the protein contents were compared with respect to the absorbed doses. Total content of the proteins was increased with increasing irradiation dose. The change of protein pattern in the irradiated cooking drips was also confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis. These results shown that the proteins in cooking drips could be unfolded or aggregated by the irradiation. Therefore, gamma irradiation could be considered as an effective method for extracting useful proteins.

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.

This study was conducted to investigate the reason for the increase in the antioxidant activity of cooking drip from Enteroctopus dofleini by gamma and electron-beam irradiation. To define the effect of irradiation on the antioxidant activity of polyphenol in cooking drip, polyphenol excluded cooking drip extracts were prepared with polyclar$^{TM}$. But, the antioxidant activity of the cooking drip extracts without polyphenol was still increased by both irradiations. Instead, the effect on the proteins in the cooking drips prepared by ammonium sulfate precipitation showed great increase in antioxidative activity by irradiation. From these results, it was concluded that the increase in the antioxidative activity in cooking drips by the irradiation was caused by the structural modification of proteins in the cooking drips.

This study was conducted to investigate the food components of cooking drips from shell oysters steamed under various retort pressures. Among the drips from shell oyster steamed under different retort pressures (1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 kg/$cm^2$) the oyster drip obtained at the 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ of retort pressure had the highest degree of brix, yield, crude protein, glycogen and trichloroacetic acid soluble-N contents, while its salinity was the lowest. In the results of food safety test, the presence of E. coli (18 MPN/100 g>) and viable cell (30 CFU/g>) in the oyster drip was in acceptable level as a food-stuff. However, the sensory evaluation such as color, flavor and taste, total amino acid and free amino acid contents of cooking drip from shell oyster steamed at 4.5 kg/$cm^2$ were inferior to those of oyster wash water. Differences in the major amino acids of total amino acid and free amino acid between oyster cooking drip and oyster wash water were also found. The results suggested that the effective use methods of oyster cooking drip should be investigated.
