Abstract
This study explored the effects of water flow on the muscle quality, nutrient composition, and volatile compounds in Cyprinus carpio. Fish were exposed to three treatments: sustained water flow (SG, 1 bl/s, 24 h/d), intermittent water flow (IG, 1 bl/s, 8 h/d), and control group (CG, 3 cm/s). Results indicated that SG improved water-holding capacity, muscle fiber density, hardness, and chewiness, while IG enhanced gumminess, springiness, and resilience. Nutritionally, CG exhibited higher crude lipid content and the highest levels of ΣSFA. Conversely, SG showed elevated ∑EPA + DHA and ω-3 fatty acid levels compared to IG. Volatile compound analysis demonstrated that CG contained higher levels of aldehydes and alcohols, associated with off-flavors, whereas IG and SG produced fresher and sweeter aroma profiles, enhancing sensory quality. These findings provide valuable insights into improving the muscle quality, nutritional value, flavor characteristics, processing, and preservation of common carp through water flow treatment.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
