Studies on Quality Deterioration and Metabolomic Changes in Oysters Induced by Spoilage Bacteria During Chilled Storage by Hanzheng Dou, Wenxiu Zhu, Siyang Chen, Yue Zou, Xiaodong Xia

“…In addition, the results of the metabolomics of spoiled oyster meat suggest that 7, 8-Dimethoxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-oxo-4H-chromen-5-yl-2-O-pentopyranosylhexopyranoside, 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydropyridine-4-carboxylic acid, Propionic acid, and L-phenylalanine are potential markers of spoilage in oysters. These findings extend our understanding of the roles that microorganisms play in the spoilage of oysters and offer valuable insights into the development of technologies for monitoring the freshness of oysters based on these potential spoilage markers.…”
