어패류 자원중 기호도가 높은 굴, 홍합, 게를 원료로 하여 열수추출법(熱水抽出法)에 의해 추출물을 제조하고 유리아미노산과 핵산관련물질등 품질을 조사하였다. 추출시험 결과 온도 $95^{circ}C$에서 추출시간 40분, 가수량은 원료중량의 $1.5{sim}2$배가 적당하였고 유리아미노산의량은 굴 추출물이 554.17mg%, 홍합 추출물은 765.95mg%, 게 추출물은 1,886.87mg%였으며 맛성분에 관여하는 glutamic acid, glycine, proline 및 alanine등의 양이 전체 유리아미노산의 약 50% 이상을 차지하였다. 핵산관련물질의 량은 굴 추출물이 581.51mg%,홍합 추출물은 941.77mg%, 게 추출물이 606.24mg%였다.
In an attempt to develop natural seasoning materials by use of shellfishes and crustaceans, contents of taste components such as amino acids, nucleotide and its derivatives, the extractability of oyster (Crassostrea gigas), sea mussel(Mytilus coruscus) and crab(Portanus tribuerculata) were investigated. As a result of chemical analysis and sensory evaluation, the optimum condition of extraction could be concluded as extracting fresh or frozen raw materials for about 40 min. at $95^{circ}C$ with 1.5 to 2 times of water by volume. The contents of free amino acids in the extractions were much in sequence as crab(1,886 mg%), mussel(765 mg%) and oyster(554 mg%), and the dominant amino acids in each extracts were identified as glutamic acid, alanine, glycine, proline and arginine in oyster, threonine, alanine, arginine, glycine and glutamic acid in mussel, arginine, proline, lysine, alanine and threonine in crab respectively. In addition, the major nucleotides affecting as taste enhancer of each extracts were estimated as inosine in oyster and crab, and inosine monophosphate in mussel respectively.
