Research Abstract

As samples, raw and cooked eight sorts of commonly eaten marine foods (common squid, common octopus, pacific giant octopus, shiba shrimp, northern shrimp, botan shrimp, tiger prawn, and kuruma prawn) which were purchased from Tokyo central wholesale fish market in the morning of the experiment day were used. The radical scavenging activity of each sample was measured using three methods, DPPH assay (DPPH radical scavenging activity), ORAC assay (hydroxyradical scavenging activity), and chemiluminescence method (superoxide anion radical scavenging activity). Also the amount of amino acids were analyzed. Tiger prawn was cooked separately or together with vinegar, soy sauce, white wine, sake, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, oregano, rosemary, thyme, basil, and/or clove, and compared their ORAC value. Results showed that the DPPH radical scavenging activity of the eight samples ranged from 37〜161 μmol AsA eq./100 g wet wt. (this is about 1/5〜1/100 of the activity of herbs). The hydroxyradical scavenging activity of the eight samples ranged from 1.5〜3.8 μmol Trolox eq./g wet wt. (this is about 1/10〜1/180 of the activity of herbs). Except for common octopus, the amount of total amino acid of the eight samples increased by cooking.
