ABSTRACT

This study examines the conformity of senior-friendly seafood products-hash browns (HB), cream gratin (CG), and vegetable porridge (VP)-made from Alaska pollock Theragra chalcogramma, with domestic standard specifications. According to the Korean Industrial Standard for physical properties, HB, CG, and VP are classified as first-stage (tooth intake), second-stage (gum intake), and third-stage (tongue intake) senior-friendly seafood, respectively. Nutritional analysis per 100 g, based on the Korean food code, reveals that HB and CG contain three essential nutrients: protein, riboflavin, and niacin, while VP contains two essential nutrients: protein and riboflavin. All products tested negative for Escherichia coli, meeting acceptable safety limits for senior-friendly foods. The total amino acid content ranged from 5.88 to 10.93 g/100 g. Digestibility rates for HB, CG, and VP were 81.1%, 85.5%, and 95.8%, respectively, highlighting their suitability for senior consumption.
