Supplementation with Japanese bunching onion ( L.) expressing a single alien chromosome from shallot increases the antioxidant activity of Kamaboko fish jelly paste .

Kamaboko is a traditional type of processed seafood made from fish jelly paste that is unique to Japan. We supplemented Kamaboko with Japanese bunching onion ( L.) with an alien monosome from shallot ( L.

Biochemical analyses of the antioxidative activity and chemical ingredients in eight different Allium alien monosomic addition lines.

We measured the antioxidant contents and antioxidative activities in eight Allium fistulosum-shallot monosomic addition lines (MAL; FF+1A-FF+8A). The high antioxidative activity lines (FF+2A and FF+6A) showed high polyphenol accumulation. These additional chromosomes (2A and 6A) would therefore have anonymous genes related to the upregulation of polyphenol production, the antioxidative activities consequently being increased in these MALs.
