This research investigated the effects of processing conditions and natural antimicrobial materials on quality of freeze-dried, seasoned and roasted Alaska pollack (Theragra chalcogramma). The optimum dipping time and moisture contents of freeze-dried Alaska pollack were 1 sec in $1\%$ salt solution, $48.6\%$ respectively. The freeze-dried, seasoned and roasted Alaska pollack product showed high sensory value. As sterilization time increased over 30 mins in water bath at $100^{\circ}C$ the browning degree of the freeze-dried, seasoned and roasted Alaska pollack product increased. Among various antibrowning agents, $3\%$ corn starch was better in preventing browning than sporix treatment. The freeze-dried, seasoned and roasted Alaska pollack product added with lactate Ca and catechin had the antimicrobial, and the VBN contents of the product showed low level.
