The effects of salt and temperature on changes of K value, IMP, free amino acids and histamine concentration in Makerel muscle during storage were examined. The content of salt was 0, 3, 5 and 10% and storage temperature was at 0, 8, 16 and 20℃,
1. Content of IMP was 607.3㎎% in raw material and as storage temperature was decreased and as salt content was increased, the rate of decrease in IMP was slow.
2. K value of raw material was 14% and rapidly increased as temperature increased and salt content decreased.
3. The time required to reach at 50% in K value was 13.6~16.6 days at 0℃ and 1.4~3.3 days at 20℃, in 0~10% salt content.
4. Except taurine and histidine, the contents of all free amino acids were slowly increased during storage at 0℃ and in high salt content but at 20℃ and in 0% salt they were more rapidly increased. The contents of Ala., Glu., Val., Leu., Lys., and NH₃were rapidly increased than the contents of Phe., Gly, and Ile.
5. Taurine and histidine were rapidly decreased at high temperature and in 0% salt during storage.
6. The storage condition which produced more than 100㎎% in histamine was 3 days at 16℃ (180㎎%) and 20℃ (443.5㎎%) in 0% salt and was 10days (163.1㎎) at 16℃ in 3% salt.
