A 93-day feeding trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and vitamin C (VC) on the growth performance, anti-oxidation and muscle quality of abalone Haliotis discus hannai (initial body weight: 26.89 ± 0.26 g; initial shell length: 60.36 ± 0.25 mm). Six exptl. diets in a 3 x 2 two-factor design were formulated with graded levels of dietary EPA (0.25%, 0.75% and 1.25%) and dietary VC (0 and 1260 mg/kg). Results showed that the weight gain rate (WGR) of abalone was significantly increased with the increasing dietary EPA levels (P < 0.05), but there was no significant effect of dietary VC on the WGR. The significant highest superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was observed in the group with 1.25% of dietary EPA and 1260 mg/kg of dietary VC, and there was a significant interaction between dietary EPA and VC (P < 0.05). Dietary EPA supplementation significantly improved muscle hardness and the content of ∑n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, volatile compounds, adenosine-5-monophosphate (AMP) and inosine-5-monophosphate (IMP) in muscle. Dietary VC supplementation significantly improved the muscle hardness, springiness, chewiness, and the contents of volatile compounds, hydroxyproline and IMP in muscle (P < 0.05). Significant interactions between dietary EPA and VC were observed on volatile compounds, AMP and IMP (P < 0.05). In conclusion, dietary EPA and VC interactively influence the anti-oxidative capability and muscle quality of abalone. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate (cas: 137-08-6Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks).
Calcium (R)-3-(2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethylbutanamido)propanoate (cas: 137-08-6) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. Alcohols may be oxidized to give ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids. These functional groups are useful for further reactions. Oxidation of organic compounds generally increases the number of bonds from carbon to oxygen (or another electronegative element, such as a halogen), and it may decrease the number of bonds to hydrogen.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
