We have studied on the effect of hydrochloric acid on the hydrolysis of dried cuttlefish, sardine, shrimp, sea mussel and undaria taking various concentration of acid, heating at various periods at constant temperatures and under atmospheric pressure following results were obtained. 1. The addition of HCl increases hydrolysis ratio of marine products rapidly, having maximum point of its ratio at 30% of dried cuttlefish and shrimp, at 25% of sea mussel and undaria, at 15% of sardine. 2. Hydrolysis ratios of cuttlefish and shirmp, sea mussel and undaria, and sardine reach maximum values at 30% of HCl, 25% of HCl and 15% of HCl, respectively.
