In this study, lipoxygenase (LOX) extracted from dry-cured mackerel was purified, resulting in a 4.1-fold purification factor with a specific activity of 493.60 U/min·g. LOX enzymatic properties were assessed, referring to its optimal storage time (1-2 days), temperature (30 °C), and pH value (7.0). The autoxidation and LOX-induced oxidation of palmitic acid (C16:0), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:2n9c), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), arachidonic acid (C20:4), EPA (C20:5), and DHA (C22:6n3) were simulated to explore the main metabolic pathways of key flavors in dry-cured mackerel. The results showed that the highest LOX activity was observed when arachidonic acid was used as a substrate. Aldehydes obtained from LOX-treated C18:1n9c and C18:2n6c oxidation, which are important precursors of flavors, were the most abundant. The key flavors in dry-cured mackerel were found in the oxidative products of C16:0, C18:0, C18:1n9c, C18:2n6c, and C20:4. Heptanaldehyde could be produced from autoxidation or LOX-induced oxidation of C18:0 and C18:1n9c, while nonal could be produced from C18:1n9c and C18:2n6c oxidation. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed that C18:1n9c, C18:2n6c, EPA, and DHA made great contributions to the overall flavor of dry-cured mackerel. This study may provide a relevant theoretical basis for the scientific control of the overall taste and flavor of dry-cured mackerel and further standardize its production.

To meet the demand of consumers for high-quality dry-cured fish. This study investigates the relationship between microbial diversity and the changes in physicochemical properties and non-volatile flavor compounds of dry-cured Spanish mackerel (DCSM) throughout the curing process. Our findings demonstrate that moisture content significantly decreased during curing, while NaCl generally increased.

Cured Spanish mackerel has a promising market owing to its nutritious nature as well as ease of transportation and preservation. However, the nutritional and flavor formation mechanism of Spanish mackerel after curing and drying is unclear. To overcome this problem, the effects of different processing conditions on the free amino acid, microbial community, and flavor of Spanish mackerel were explored.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the microbiological safety of processed fish products like salmon, swordfish, and yellowfin tuna during a controlled dry-curing process, focusing on colony counts and specific pathogens.
- Total aerobic colony counts varied between fish types, while Enterobacteriaceae remained low and Listeria monocytogenes was undetected in raw materials.
- Shotgun metagenomic analysis revealed distinct microbial populations, with salmon and tuna showing higher microbial richness compared to swordfish, highlighting the need for better data on the safety of processed fish products.

This study aimed to evaluate the contribution and mechanisms of Lactobacillus plantarum and Zygosaccharomyces mellis inoculation to the enhancement of protein-derived volatile flavor compounds (PVFCs) in low-salt dry-cured mackerel (LDCM). The contents of PVFCs (3-methylbutanal and phenylacetaldehyde), intermediates (α-ketoisocaproate and phenylpyruvic acid), precursor (α-ketoisocaproate and phenylpyruvic acid), and key enzyme activities (protease and transaminase) significantly increased (p < 0.05) in probiotic-treated groups.
