Development of a Convenient Home Meal Replacement Product Containing Roasted Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) with Honey Butter Sauce

초록

Abalone (Haliotis discus hannai) has high nutritional value and market demand. However, it is generally sold as a raw product, which suffers from lengthy preparation, low commercial value, and a short shelf life. To address these problems, we processed abalone as a home meal replacement (HMR) product using superheated steam and quick freezing technology. Response surface methodology was used to optimize the roasting process. A test HMR product was produced by mixing roasted abalone with honey butter sauce at a ratio of 70:30 (w/w), then evaluated for its physicochemical, biological, and nutritional characteristics and shelf life. Roasting abalone at 220 degrees C for 2 min resulted in high scores for hardness and overall acceptance. The roasting process successfully maintained the chemical characteristics of abalone, including pH, volatile basic nitrogen, and thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. The sensory characteristics of the test HMR product were maintained using quick freezing methods. Moreover, nutritional analysis revealed that the test HMR product contained macro- and micronutrients, amino acids, and fatty acids, which could contribute to meeting daily nutritional needs. The estimated shelf life of the product was 30 months. Therefore, this study successfully developed a high-quality HMR product containing abalone.
