Nucleotide Degradation in the Muscle of Iced Haddock (Gadus aeglefinus), Lemon Sole (Pleuronectes microcephalus), and Plaice (Pleuronectes platessa)

Abstract: SUMMARY The muscle of trawl‐caught haddock, lemon sole, and plaice contained little adenosine 5′‐triphosphate (ATP) and much inosine 5′‐monophosphate (IMP) at death. ATP, adenosine 5′‐diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine 5′‐monophosphate (AMP) changed rapidly after the fish died. IMP was lost from the muscle more slowly, with liberation of inosine, which was, in turn, degraded to hypoxanthine. A little adenine was formed by an alternative pathway of ATP degradation in lemon sole. A relatively high initial level of… Show more

“…ATP degradation in post-mortem fish muscle has been considered one of the earliest indices in assessing fish freshness (Kassemsarn et al 1963). The pathway of ATP degradation in fish muscle has been extensively documented as a degradative sequence to ADP, AMP, IMP, Ino and Hx (Ehira and Uchiyama 1987).…”

“…ATP in muscle during postmortem aging are converted to ADP, AMP, IMP, inosine and hypoxanthine by several enzymes, such as ATPase, AMP deaminase and so on (Kassemsarn et al, 1963). ATP contents in bovine muscle immediately after death and 24-h postmortem are reported to be 6.4 and I .7 pmol/g muscle, respectively (Bodwell et al, 1965).…”

“…After the death of a fish, the decomposition of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) in the fish meat sets in and ADP (adenosine di phosphate), AMP (adenosine 5' phosphate), IMP (inosine 5' phosphate), HxR (inosine), Hx (hypoxanthine), X (xanthine) and U (uric acid) [1] . Whereas IMP is one of the major contributing factors to the pleasant flavour of fresh fish, it's degradation product hypoxanthine imparts the bitter "off-taste" [2] .…”
