Abstract
Oysters, particularly Portuguese oyster (Crassostrea angulata), are highly valued for their nutritional and flavor qualities, making them important in global aquaculture. Triploid oysters have gained attention for maintaining higher meat quality year-round compared to diploids, but there is limited research on how ploidy affects their biochemical and flavor profiles. This study uses a non-targeted metabolomics approach, including gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), to investigate flavor substance differences between triploid and diploid C. angulata. A total of 13 volatile compounds were identified in diploid oysters, while 28 were found in triploids. Significant upregulation of inosine, guanosine, L-aspartic acid, and taurine in triploids contributes to their enhanced flavor profile. Additionally, triploids showed higher nicotinamide concentrations, while diploids had increased 25-hydroxycholesterol. These findings highlight the advantages of triploid oysters in aquaculture for improved flavor and nutrition, supporting their potential for year-round production.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Marine Science publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of all aspects of the environment, biology, ecosystem functioning and human interactions with the oceans. Field Chief Editor Carlos M. Duarte at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Thuwal is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, policy makers and the public worldwide.
With the human population predicted to reach 9 billion people by 2050, it is clear that traditional land resources will not suffice to meet the demand for food or energy, required to support high-quality livelihoods. As a result, the oceans are emerging as a source of untapped assets, with new innovative industries, such as aquaculture, marine biotechnology, marine energy and deep-sea mining growing rapidly under a new era characterized by rapid growth of a blue, ocean-based economy. The sustainability of the blue economy is closely dependent on our knowledge about how to mitigate the impacts of the multiple pressures on the ocean ecosystem associated with the increased scale and diversification of industry operations in the ocean and global human pressures on the environment. Therefore, Frontiers in Marine Science particularly welcomes the communication of research outcomes addressing ocean-based solutions for the emerging challenges, including improved forecasting and observational capacities, understanding biodiversity and ecosystem problems, locally and globally, effective management strategies to maintain ocean health, and an improved capacity to sustainably derive resources from the oceans.
