Quality Characteristics of Cod Bone Stock Containing Various Amounts of Tomatoes

Using high performance liquid chromatography, tomato cultivars which contain the Crimson gene (og) were usually found to have higher lycopene content (5086 to 5786 μg/100 g fresh weight) than those cultivars lacking the gene (2622 to 4318 μg/100 g fresh weight). A comparison of the color readings taken from tomatoes at the equatorial region with those of the homogenate prepared from the same region showed that the hue of tomato homogenate was a better indicator of lycopene content than tomato surface hue. The tomatoes' lycopene content was not affected by ethylene treatment or cooking for 4, 8, and 16 min at 100 °C.

Cultivar, Maturity, and Heat Treatment on Lycopene Content in Tomatoes

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of soaking and blanching of chicken- head on the quality of chicken-head broth. The longer soaking time, the lower the contents of free amino acids and nucleotide and its derivatives in chicken-head broth. Sensory panel showed that increased soaking time led to decreases in the degree of darkness, yellowness, turbidity and the intensity of bloody flavor and organ meat-like flavor. Optimal soaking time was determined to be 30 min according to the result of sensory evaluation. While the broth using unblanched chicken-head contained more free amino acids, nucleotide and its derivatives than the broth using blanched one, sensory test revealed no significant difference between two broths. Therefore, blanching was found to be unnecessary process for the preparation of chicken-head broth.
