As the first step to improve the off-flavor in retorted Kamaboko, the relationship between the quality of raw fish-meat and the production of hydrogen sulfide in retorted Kamaboko, the relationshop between the quality of raw fish-meat and the production of hydrogen sulfide in retorted Kamaboko was investigated. Lizard fish, <i>Saurida undosquamis</i>, white croaker, <i>Argyrosomus argentatus</i>, and frozen Surimi (frozen meat paste made from Alaska pollack, <i>Theragra charcogramma</i>) were popular raw fish for Kamaboko manufacturers and were used as the experimental raw fish.<br> The amount of hydrogen sulfide in retorted Kamaboko increased with an increase in the pH of the washed meat, prepared from raw fish-meat (white croaker) during the ice storage. Irrespective of the species of raw fish, the amount of hydrogen sulfide produced was directly related to the pH of raw fish-meat and increased with the rise of pH, when the pH of raw fish-meat was adjusted with 0.2_N HCI or NaOH.Therefore, it was revealed that the manufacturing condition which reduces the pH of raw fish-meat was effective in inhibiting the pro-duction of hydrogen sulfide in retorted Kamaboko. In addition, it was estimated that for-maldehyde generated from trimethylamine oxide in Alaska pollack and lizard fish played a significant role in inhibiting the production of hydrogen sulfide in retorted Kamaboko.
