本实验将南美白对虾分别放入盐度为0‰、10‰、20‰、30‰、40‰、50‰水体暂养5 min,取其肌肉测定游离氨基酸含量.结果表明,在南美白对虾肌肉中,游离氨基酸含量最高的是甘氨酸(Gly),其次是精氨酸(Arg)、脯氨酸(Pro)和丙氨酸(Ala).在5 min内,盐度为10‰时,游离氨基酸总浓度达最高,为221.587 μmol/g鲜重,比盐度为0‰和50‰时分别提高11.7%和10.85%,差异显著(P＜0.05).其中,天冬氨酸(Asp)丝氨酸(Ser)、甘氨酸(Gly)、半胱氨酸(Cys)、缬氨酸(Val)、蛋氨酸(Met)、亮氨酸(Leu)、酪氨酸(Tyr)、苯丙氨酸(Phe)、赖氨酸(Lys)、精氨酸(Arg)等11种氨基酸在不同盐度中其浓度变化存在显著差异(P＜0.05),其余无显著变化.     

盐度对凡纳滨对虾肌肉中游离氨基酸含量的影响

通过逐渐升高盐度的方法,分别测定盐度为0、10、20、30和40时凡纳滨对虾肌肉中游离氨基酸(FAA)的含量,实验周期40 h。结果表明:在盐度0~40时,总游离氨基酸(TOFAA)、必需氨基酸(EAA)、非必需氨基酸(NEAA)和鲜味氨基酸(TAA)的含量都随盐度的增加而明显升高(P0.05);特别是当盐度从20增加到30时,肌肉中TOFAA、EAA、NEAA和TAA含量的增高幅度最明显。在凡纳滨对虾肌肉FAA中,含量最高的是甘氨酸(Gly),其次是脯氨酸(Pro)、精氨酸(Arg)和丙氨酸(Ala)。在盐度为0~40范围内,肌肉中主要的渗透压调节因子是甘氨酸(Gly)、脯氨酸(Pro)、精氨酸(Arg)、丙氨酸(Ala)和牛磺酸(Tau);而天冬氨酸(Asp)、丝氨酸(Ser)、缬氨酸(Val)、甲硫氨酸(Met)、异亮氨酸(Ile)、亮氨酸(Leu)和酪氨酸(Tyr)的含量在各盐度组未呈现显著变化(P0.05)。在淡水养殖凡纳滨对虾出售前的40 h,通过提高水体盐度来提高凡纳滨对虾肉质的鲜味是完全可行的。

盐度胁迫对三疣梭子蟹肌肉和血淋巴中游离氨基酸含量的影响

为探究不同盐度环境下三疣梭子蟹肌肉和血淋巴中游离氨基酸(free amino acids,FAAs)的含量及浓度的变化规律,明确FAAs的组成以及在盐度适应中发挥的作用,丰富FAAs在甲壳动物盐度适应领域的研究,为后续分子机理的研究提供依据,实验设定胁迫盐度分别为10、20、40、50,以正常海水(盐度33)为对照,用日立835-50型氨基酸自动分析仪测定三疣梭子蟹血淋巴与肌肉组织中游离氨基酸的组分,分析不同盐度环境下三疣梭子蟹肌肉和血淋巴中FAAs的含量及变化规律。结果显示,在正常海水中三疣梭子蟹血淋巴和肌肉中含量较高的FAAs主要为牛磺酸(Tau)、精氨酸(Arg)、甘氨酸(Gly)、脯氨酸(Pro)和丙氨酸(Ala)。盐度为10~50,梭子蟹肌肉和血淋巴总游离氨基酸(total free amino acid,TOFAA)的含量随盐度的增加而显著升高,非必需氨基酸(non-essentical free amino acid,NEAA)的含量随盐度的升高而上升,而必需氨基酸(essentical free amino acid,EAA)的含量变化不显著,因此,TOFAA在渗透压调节方面的作用主要取决于NEAA。发挥主要渗透压调节作用的FAAs为脯氨酸(Pro)、丙氨酸(Ala)、甘氨酸(Gly)、天冬氨酸(Asp)、谷氨酸(Glu)。Ala、Gly、Asp、Glu属于鲜味氨基酸(taste amino acid,TAA),研究表明,NEAA中的TAA在渗透压调节方面作用显著,Pro含量的升高对TOFAA含量的增加作用显著,盐度为40~50尤甚,表明Pro在梭子蟹高渗调节中发挥重要作用。

The essential amino acid requirements of the Dungeness crab, Cancer magister

The essential amino acid requirements for juveniles of the Dungeness crab Cancer magister were determined by the radiometric method. Both the protein and free amino acids were quantified and their specific activities compared.Injection of five crabs with [U-¹⁴C] glucose resulted in the labelling of the amino acids cysteine, aspartate, serine, glutamate, proline, alanine, and glycine. One crab injected with [U-¹⁴C] glutamate showed results similar to the glucose-injected crabs, with the notable exception that proline did not become labelled. An animal injected with [U-¹⁴C] phenylalanine produced radioactive tyrosine, alanine, and glutamate. Since fumarate is one of the breakdown products of phenylalanine in those species that have been studied, the lack of labelled aspartate is of interest.These results suggest that cysteine, aspartate, serine, glutamate, alanine, proline, and glycine are dispensable and that tyrosine is dispensable if phenylalanine is supplied. The non-labelled amino acids threonine, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, lysine, histidine, and arginine are inferred to be essential.     

不同盐度对凡纳滨对虾血淋巴及肌肉游离氨基酸组成的影响

Seasonal variations of free amino acids and nucleotide-related compounds in the muscle of cultured Taiwanese puffer Takifugu rubripes

SUMMARY: Seasonal variation in the level of extractive nitrogenous components was investigated in the muscle of puffer Takifugu rubripes cultured in two different areas of Taiwan. There were no seasonal and regional variations in the proximate composition of the fish. Of the free amino acids (FAA) in the muscle of puffer, the predominant one was taurine, followed by glycine, lysine, and alanine. Among nucleotide-related compounds, inosine monophosphate (IMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) were the most prominent compounds. The total nucleotide-related compounds in the muscle of puffer were higher in July and November than those in the other months. The level of total taste-active components including glycine, alanine, arginine, GMP, IMP, and adenosine 5'-monophosphate was much higher in the muscle of puffer collected from July to January. Therefore, the puffer is probably more palatable in these periods.     

Tail Muscle Free Amino Acid Concentration of Pacific White Shrimp,Litopenaeus vannamei,Fed Diets Containing Protein‐bound versus Crystalline Amino Acids

Tail muscle tissue free amino acids (FAA) concentration is reported for subadult (4.3 g) Litopenaeus vannamei fed diets containing only protein‐bound amino acids, crystalline lysine as a supplement to protein‐bound lysine, and only crystalline amino acids (CAA). FAA were determined in shrimp at 0.00, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 h postfeeding. Highest total tissue concentrations of essential amino acids and individual amino acids were typically observed 4 h postfeeding for shrimp fed intact and crystalline lysine‐supplemented feeds. Those shrimp offered diets containing only CAA showed no tissue maxima. Similar uptake patterns for lysine shown by shrimp fed the intact and crystalline lysine‐supplemented diet indicate the potential use of small amounts of crystalline lysine in shrimp feeds.     

Amino Acid Profile of Various Body Tissues and Eggs of Discus Fish,Symphysodon aequifasciata

Abstract

Amino acid profiles of various body tissues from juvenile and adult discus fish, Symphysodon aequifasciata, were compared. Results from whole-body tissue revealed significant difference (P < 0.05) between the levels of lysine, phenylalanine, alanine, aspartic acid, and serine among the two different fish sizes. Levels of arginine, histidine, leucine, methionine, phenylalanine, and threonine were also higher in muscle tissue of adult fishes. Analysis of gill tissues showed significant difference in levels of histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, proline, and serine were significantly different among the different fish stages. This study also showed that among all ten essential amino acids, muscle had the highest levels of histidine, isoleucine, lysine, and tryptophan; gills had the highest level of arginine; while levels of methionine and threonine were higher in the intestinal tissue. Regression analysis between the calculated whole-body A/E ratio of discus juveniles and with quantitative dietary amino acid requirements of several fish species also showed significant correlation, with highest r values (> 0.90) obtained with tilapia, common carp, channel catfish, and Japanese eel. This profile may be useful as a preliminary reference index to evaluate suitability of various ingredients in terms of amino acid profile for development of economical diet for discus farming.     

A comparative study on the composition and importance of free amino acids in semen of gilthead sea bream, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sparus aurata</Emphasis>, and perch, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Perca fluviatilis</Emphasis>

A comparative study was conducted on the free amino acid composition of gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata, and perch, Perca fluviatilis. Also the effect of 21 free amino acids on sperm motility was investigated. Spermatozoa were incubated in species-specific motility-inhibiting saline solution containing the different amino acids for 48 h. Thereafter, the motility was activated and investigated using computer-assisted cell motility analysis. Twelve free amino acids, respectively, were detected in S. aurata and P. fluviatilis semen. Arginine, cysteine, glutamic acid, leucine, and methionine occurred in semen of both species. In S. aurata, arginine, glycine, hydroxyproline, lysine, and phenylalanine in concentrations of 1.25 and 2.50 mmol/l, methionine in a concentration of 2.5 mmol/l, and serine in a concentration of 1.25 mmol/l had a positive effect on the motility of spermatozoa. In P. fluviatilis, alanine, asparagine, cysteine, glycine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, serine, threonine, and valine in concentrations of 2.50 mmol/l positively affected motility. From these data, it can be concluded that the amino acid composition and the effect on motility are species specific. Possible consequences for spermatozoa functionality are discussed.     

Estimating the ideal dietary indispensable amino acid pattern for growth of white sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus (Richardson)

Juvenile white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus, Richardson) were fed or starved for 4 weeks, and their whole body amino acid composition determined at the beginning and the end of the study. The amino acid compositions of muscle, liver, gill and gastrointestinal tract, and the free amino acids in plasma of fed and starved fish were also determined. Very little variation was observed in the amino acid compositions of all the tissues examined after starvation. However, the plasma free amino acids were significantly (P < 0.05) decreased following starvation. On the basis of the amino acid composition and nitrogen retention values of the whole fish, daily indispensable amino acid requirements for protein accretion and obligatory nitrogen losses (mg amino acid 100 g body weighr^?1 day^?1) were estimated. The pattern of indispensable amino acids required for each of these is different, with the pattern for protein accretion containing much higher levels of lysine, but lower levels of tryptophan and sulfur amino acids. Individual amino acid retention rates varied from 33.3% of dietary tryptophan to 80.2% for arginine. The estimated dietary indispensable amino acid pattern for young growing white sturgeon (expressed as a percentage of total indispensable amino acids plus cystine and tyrosine) is: arginine, 14.0; histidine, 6.6; isoleucine, 8.8; leucine, 12.5; lysine, 15.8; methionine (plus cystine), 6.6; phenylalanine (plus tyrosine), 15.5; threonine, 9.7; tryptophan, 0.8; and valine, 9.7.     

Comparison of extractive components in muscle and liver of three Loliginidae squids with those of one Ommastrephidae species

Extractive components were determined for the mantle muscle and liver of three species of Loliginidae squid, Sepioteuthis lessoniana, Loligo bleekeri, and L. edulis, and one species of Ommastrephidae, Todarodes pacificus, as a control. Total free amino acid levels and the major free amino acids in muscle, taurine, proline, glycine, alanine, and arginine, were significantly higher in Loliginidae squids than in T. pacificus. The main nucleotide was adenosine 5′-monophosphate, which did not differ significantly between species. Malate was the organic acid found in muscle in highest concentrations. The muscle of these species contained a large amount of trimethylamine oxide. A large amount of glycine betaine was also detected in the muscle, but showed no large species difference. From these results, the muscle of Loliginidae species is considered to have a much sweeter taste than that of T. pacificus. Compared with muscle, squid liver was characteristic with high contents of taurine, glutamate, bitter amino acids, succinate, propionate, trimethylamine, and glycine betaine, and with low contents of sweet amino acids, arginine, nucleotides, malate, and trimethylamine oxide. These results suggest that squid liver is characterized by a complicated taste containing umami, bitterness, sourness, fishy flavor, and less sweetness.
