Cephalopods are important economic shellfish that have been developed extensively in the coastal water of various countries. This study explored the effect of different diets on the volatile flavor and nutritional ingredients of O. vulgaris. Four diets were tested in four groups: Group A (fish (Scomberomorus niphonius)), Group B (crab (Helice tridens tientsinensis Rathbun)), Group C (clam (Mactra veneriformis)), and Group D (squid (Loligo japonica)). Octopus muscles were sampled after 36 days of feeding, and volatile flavor substances (VFSs), fatty acids (FAs), and amino acids (AAs) were detected. Results showed that the VFSs, FAs, and AAs of octopus in the four groups were obviously different. The sum of volatile ketones and aldehydes was higher in Group B than in the other groups, which could present much more flavors. All groups were abundant in unsaturated FAs, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). In terms of content and variety, the FAs in Group B were more beneficial to human health than those in the other groups. The content of each AA in Group B was basically higher than those in the other groups and was significantly higher than that in Group D (P < 0.05). Comparing the VFSs, FAs, and AAs in samples fed with four kinds of diets, the results indicate that using crab to feed O. vulgaris can achieve better effects on volatile flavor and nutritional ingredients. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5Application of 868-57-5).
Methyl2-methylbutyrate (cas: 868-57-5) belongs to esters. Volatile esters with characteristic odours are used in synthetic flavours, perfumes, and cosmetics. Certain volatile esters are used as solvents for lacquers, paints, and varnishes. Esterification is the general name for a chemical reaction in which two reactants (typically an alcohol and an acid) form an ester as the reaction product. Esters are common in organic chemistry and biological materials.Application of 868-57-5
