Abstract
Elucidating the flavor profile of aquatic products cultured in saline-alkali water is crucial for the efficient utilization of such marginal resources and the enhancement of product quality. The flavor profile of Macrobrachium rosenbergii from saline-alkali water aquaculture has not been widely studied. This study compared non-volatile flavors in muscle from prawns cultured in saline-alkaline water (SA) versus freshwater (FW) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with a DAD (diode array detector). We found total free amino acids (TFAA) were significantly higher in SA (1336.85 ± 48.59 mg/100 g) than FW (1165.89 ± 57.37 mg/100 g; P < 0.05). Umami amino acids (59.05 ± 4.78 vs 45.44 ± 6.37 mg/100 g) and sweet amino acids (698.80 ± 47.56 vs 591.16 ± 41.37 mg/100 g) were also significantly elevated in SA (P < 0.05), with no difference in bitter amino acids. Key flavor nucleotides inosine monophosphate (IMP) (84.81 ± 9.27 vs 52.21 ± 5.13 mg/100 g), adenosine monophosphate (AMP) (203.62 ± 22.43 vs 116.08 ± 13.67 mg/100 g), and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) (11.97 ± 1.83 vs 5.85 ± 0.66 mg/100 g) were significantly higher in SA (P < 0.05). Taste activity value (TAV) analysis showed enhanced umami (Glutamate (Glu), IMP) and sweet (Glycine (Gly)) contributions in SA. Equivalent umami concentration (EUC) was significantly greater in SA (16.53 ± 0.09 g MSG/100 g) than FW (7.04 ± 0.42 g MSG/100 g; P < 0.05). These findings demonstrate saline-alkaline aquaculture enhances M. rosenbergii flavor attributes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Food Composition and Analysis publishes manuscripts on scientific aspects of data on the chemical composition of human foods, with particular emphasis on actual data on composition of foods; analytical methods; studies on the manipulation, storage, distribution and use of food composition data; and studies on the statistics, use and distribution of such data and data systems. The Journal''s basis is nutrient composition, with increasing emphasis on bioactive non-nutrient and anti-nutrient components. Papers must provide sufficient description of the food samples, analytical methods, quality control procedures and statistical treatments of the data to permit the end users of the food composition data to evaluate the appropriateness of such data in their projects.
The Journal does not publish papers on: microbiological compounds; sensory quality; aromatics/volatiles in food and wine; essential oils; organoleptic characteristics of food; physical properties; or clinical papers and pharmacology-related papers.
