Outline of Final Research Achievements

The study explored effective cooking methods to detoxify heat-stable histamine, traditionally managed through low-temperature storage to prevent food poisoning. Various cooking techniques, such as using an electric oven, frying, and grilling on an iron plate, led to similar high-char results. However, grilling fish on a gas stove with a ceramic component significantly reduced histamine levels by nearly 50% without much charring. Side dishes like plum extract and vinegar were also effective. Baking soda was impractical, but seasoning with sweetened plum extract or vinegar was recommended. The study concluded that grilling fish with a sweet vinegar marinade using a fish grill is the most effective method to reduce histamine levels.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究結果で、セラミック材の高温効果を利用した加熱がヒスタミン含有量低下に有意な効果を持つことが分かったことから、甘酢につけた魚肉をセラミック付き魚焼き器で加熱する調理法により、生きが良くないと感じつつ家庭で調理する際の中毒予防のレシピとして用いられることで、ヒスタミン食中毒患者の減少の一助とすることが可能となった。
