“…Grass carp had a slight weight loss due to the deprivation of food during the experiment. A period of food deprivation is usually used for improving the quality and flavor of the fish [18][19][20]. In the study of Murray cod, fish had an organoleptic quality amelioration after 2 and 4 weeks of food deprivation, and had a weight loss of 4.1% and 9.1%, respectively [18].…”

Fish muscle quality is an important parameter in the aquaculture industry. In this study, we analyzed and compared the muscle quality of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) cultured at salinities of 0‰, 3‰, and 6‰ (GC0, GC3, GC6). There was no significant difference in crude protein and crude fat content of muscle between GC0 and GC3. Crude fat was significantly lower in GC6 compared to the other groups. GC3 and GC6 had higher hydroxyproline content, which suggested that these groups had higher collagen content. GC3 and GC6 had higher contents of free amino acids and umami amino acids than GC0, but there was no significant difference in sweet or sour amino-acid content among groups. GC3 and GC6 had better texture properties, including hardness, gumminess, chewiness, resilience, and springiness, than GC0. GC3 had the highest water-holding capacity among the groups. As the salinity increased, the diameter of muscle fibers decreased and the sarcolemma showed a thickening trend. These results suggest that a slight increase in salinity (i.e., 3‰) can effectively improve the muscle quality of grass carp.

“…The multivariate correlation analysis of metabolomics data in FBT research shows that the metabolomics approach is a powerful tool to elucidate biochemical changes occurring during the manufacturing processes. The HPLC–MS approach has been widely utilized in metabolomics, owing to its high-throughput capacity, powerful separation ability, high resolution, and strong sensitivity [ 16 ]. This approach mainly focuses on the identification of small molecular endogenous metabolites in organisms [ 17 ].…”

Fu brick tea (FBT) is one of the major brands of dark tea. Microbial fermentation is considered the key step in the development of the special characteristics of FBT. The systemic corelationship of the microbiome and metabolomics during manufacture of Fu brick tea is not fully understood. In this study, we comprehensively explored the microbiome and metabolite dynamic evolution during the FBT manufacturing processes, and revealed decisive factors for the quality and safety of FBT based on the grouped methods of metabolomics combined with biochemical measurements, microbiome sequencing combined with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and multiplex analysis. Both the microbiome and quantitative PCR showed that fungi displayed concentrated distribution characteristics in the primary dark tea samples, while bacterial richness increased during the flowering processes and ripening period. All microorganism species, as well as dominant fungi and bacteria, were identified in the distinct processes periods. A total of 178 metabolites were identified, and 34 of them were characterized as critical metabolites responsible for metabolic changes caused by the corresponding processes. Metabolic analysis showed that most metabolites were decreased during the FBT manufacturing processes, with the exception of gallic acid. Multivariate analysis verified that the critical metabolites were correlated with specific dominant microbial species. All the top fungal species except unclassified_g_ Aspergillus showed positive correlations with six critical metabolites (L-The, epigallocatechin (EGC), Gln, tea polyphenol (TP), tea polysaccharides (TPs) and caffeine). Five of the top bacteria species (Cronobacter, Klebsiella, Pantoea, Pluralibacter, and unclassified_ f_Entero-bacteriaceae) showed positive correlations with epigallocatechins and tea polyphenols, while the other 11 top bacterial species correlated negatively with all the critical metabolites. The content of amino acids, tea polyphenols, tea polysaccharides, and flavonoids was reduced during microbial fermentation. In conclusion, our results reveal that microbial composition is the critical factor in changing the metabolic profile of FBT. This discovery provides a theoretical basis for improving the quality of FBT and enhancing its safety.

“…The enrichment analysis and metabolic pathway analysis showed that the differential metabolic pathways were “purine metabolism” pathway, and dietary arginine levels led to changes in the relative levels of AMP, IMP, hypoxanthine, and xanthine, which are involved in purine metabolism. AMP is a precursor of IMP, and IMP degrades into xanthine and hypoxanthine ( 19 , 20 ). AMP and IMP present an umami taste ( 21 ), and hypoxanthine and xanthine are the sources of bitterness ( 22 ).…”

It is no doubt that the improvement of flesh quality of Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) reared in freshwater contributes to its development potential in aquaculture. In this study, we aimed to explore the effect of arginine supplementation on the flesh quality of L. vannamei reared in freshwater and its mechanism. L. vannamei were randomly fed with three diets for 56 days, of which arginine level was 10.15 g kg–1 (arginine-deficient diet), 21.82 g kg–1 (arginine-optimal diet), and 32.46 g kg–1 (arginine-excessive diet), respectively. Each diet was randomly assigned to triplicate tanks, and each tank was stocked with 35 shrimps (initial weight: 1.70 ± 0.02 g). Results showed the arginine-optimal diet increased the weight gain, flesh percentage, crude protein and flavor amino acid contents in muscle, and improved the flesh hardness by conversing fast myofibers to slow myofibers, increasing myofiber density and myofibrillar length, and promoting ornithine and collagen synthesis. The arginine-optimal diet influenced the purine metabolic pathway by reducing hypoxanthine, xanthine, and inosine contents. Ornithine, citrulline, and glutamate were identified as the key metabolites affecting flesh quality traits after arginine treatments. Only increasing the levels of dietary arginine did not result in an increase in endogenous creatine synthesis in muscle and hepatopancreas. Overall, the arginine-optimal diet improved the flesh quality traits of L. vannamei reared in freshwater due to the enhanced muscular hardness, protein deposition, and flavor, which may be contributing to the transformation of muscle fiber type and increase in protein synthesis by the metabolites of arginine (ornithine, citrulline, and glutamate).
