摘要

In our present study, we developed quantitative 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-qNMR) spectroscopy to quantify several hydrophilic components related to fish quality indices and applied it to evaluate the characteristics of Japanese horse mackerel. The K-values from several fish, as determined by 1H-qNMR, closely matched those obtained by conventional high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. Following that, we applied 1H-qNMR to Japanese horse mackerel stored for up to 24 h. Although the K-values remained nearly constant within 24 h, the lactate content changed drastically, which was also reflected in the sensory evaluation of sourness. This study demonstrated that 1H-qNMR is applicable for a comprehensive assessment of fish quality and is highly useful in evaluating freshness on the basis of K-values, as well as other quality indices such as taste and fish odor.
