Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored how ultrasound-assisted curing and UV-assisted drying affect the quality of semi-dried tilapia fillets, enhancing the texture and reducing moisture content with ultrasound showing more effectiveness.
  • - Both treatments increased lipid oxidation, which changed the flavor profile, with UV treatment being better at boosting key aroma compounds compared to ultrasound.
  • - A total of 420 lipid molecules and 213 metabolites were identified, revealing key flavor precursors; sensory evaluations showed that using ultrasound and UV together improved the overall quality of the tilapia fillets.

Non-targeted analysis of high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) can identify thousands of compounds, which also gives a huge challenge to their quantification. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of mass spectrometry ionization efficiency on various compounds in food at different solvent ratios and to develop a predictive model for mass spectrometry ionization efficiency to enable non-targeted quantitative prediction of unknown compounds. This study covered 70 compounds in 14 different mobile phase ratio environments in positive ion mode to analyze the rules of the matrix effect.
