Abstract

Japanese Spanish Mackerel (JSM) Scomberomorus niphonius (Cuvier 1832) is an important commercial fish species in South Korea. The postharvest handling, preservation, and storage of JSM have not been clearly understood, and therefore, it is very often oxidized to produce off-flavor while marketed as the raw or frozen state. To overcome these problems, the present study was designed to adapt the hot smoke processing technique for improving the sensorial, physicochemical, and microbial qualities of JSM with extended shelf life. The hot smoking (70°C) with different sawdusts at the different smoke times (0, 20, 25, and 30 min) was applied to process JSM fillet. The smoked JSM obtained higher sensory attributes (appearance, odor, taste, color, texture, and overall preferences) and suppressed bacterial growth, pH, volatile base nitrogen, thiobarbituric acid-reactive species, and trimethylamine N-oxide at an optimum smoking time of 25 min using oak sawdust. Moreover, it possessed higher nutritional value and beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), 4.19 g/100 g, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), 1.82 g/100 g. The smoked JSM product extended shelf life up to 42 days at 10°C storage temperature. The overall findings indicate that the hot smoking technology with JSM could be effective in achieving good sensorial, nutritional, and functional attributes to the consumer.

Effect of time‐dependent smoking (0, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 min) on instrumental odor and sensory quality attributes (appearance, odor, taste, and overall preference) of hot‐smoked JSM products. Data were expressed as mean ± std (n = 10), and statistical significant level was *p < .05, **p < .01, and ***p < .001 (ANOVA)

Data were expressed as mean ± std, and statistical significant level was expressed as *p < .05, **p < .01, and ***p < .001, compared with smoke time 0 (which is considered as raw JSM) (ANOVA)

The quality features were compared at two different storage temperature (10 ℃ and 15 ℃) in the storage days of 0 to 42. Data were expressed as mean ± std, and statistical significant level was expressed as *p < .05, **p < .01, and ***p < .001, compared with the day 0 (ANOVA)
