| More Details: | This study evaluated the efficacy of varying environmental alkalinity levels on the growth performance, flesh quality, volatolomics, and metabolomics of Aral barbel Luciobarbus brachycephalus. The results indicated that an alkalinity level of 15 mmol/L is optimal for enhancing growth performance, amino acid nutritional value, and flesh taste of L. brachycephalus muscle. Volatolomic and metabolomic analyses identified a total of 13 differential volatile compounds and 164 differential non-volatile compounds between the alkalinity and control groups. The volatile compounds hexanal, hexadecanal, and oct-1-en-3-ol may enhance the flavor of L. brachycephalus. Additionally, the pathways of glycerophospholipid metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acid, amino acid metabolism and protein digestion and absorption are associated with the growth performance, umami, bitter, and salty tastes of L. brachycephalus cultured in alkaline water. These findings will serve as a reference for producing high-quality protein and for the comprehensive development and utilization of saline-alkaline water. |
