The release mechanism of odorants in the oral cavity during consumption directly affects sensory attributes, consumers’ preferences, and ultimately purchase intent. Targets was set to monitor in real-time the key odorants released from grilled eel during mastication via an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) connected with a nose interface. The release and perception of odorants during mastication were divided into three distinct phases. Dimethyl sulfide was the main odorant in the first stage. The release and perception of fishy aromas were predominant in the middle and last stages of mastication contributed by trimethylamine, 1-penten-3-ol, and 2-methyl-1-butanol. Chewing behavior experiments suggested that extending the chewing period to >20 s and having a chewing frequency of 2 cycles/s could enhance the aroma delivery of grilled eel and optimize the consumer experience. Consequently, the results explained the relationship between aroma release and the optimal chewing behavior for grilled eel consumption.
Eel is a commercially important marine fish, frequently featured as sushi or roasted preparations. This study determined the formation of heterocyclic amines (HAs) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in roasted eel and evaluated the inhibitory mechanism of quercetin and l -ascorbic acid on their formation. The results indicate a respective reduction of 75.07% and 84.72% in total HAs, alongside a decline of 23.03% and 39.14% in AGEs . Additionally, fundamental parameters of roasted eel, lipid oxidation indicators and precursors were measured to elucidate the mechanisms and impact of natural antioxidants on HAs and AGEs formation in roasted eel. Furthermore, endeavors were made to probe into the molecular mechanisms governing the influence of key differential lipids on the generation of HAs and AGEs through lipid-mics analysis. This research emphasizes the potential of natural antioxidants in preventing harmful substances formation during eel thermal processing, which is helpful to food manufacturers for healthier food production.

The aim of this research was to determine the residues of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in cultured eel and find out the source of pollution and the distribution pattern of eels. One hundred samples of eel, 4 fodder samples, and 12 environmental samples (water, plants, and soil) were collected from 4 cities and counties in Jiangxi Province, China. The contents of 17 kinds of dioxins (PCDD/Fs) and 12 kinds of dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) were determined by high-resolution gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the exposure risk was evaluated by using risk index. The total toxicity equivalence quantity (TEQ) of dioxin and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in eel and fodder samples collected in the study area were 0.65 ± 0.31 pg/g and 0.10 ± 0.02 pg/g, respectively. Dl-PCBs were the main dioxin pollution in eel and fodder samples. 2,3',4,4',5-pentachlorodiphenyl and 2,3,3',4,4'-pentachlorobiphenyl were the main contributing monomers. The environmental samples were mainly polluted by polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), with the main contributing monomer being Octachlorodibenzodioxins (OCDD), while 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl and 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran were the main toxic compounds in eel and fodder. The dioxin pollution of eels cultured in Jiangxi Province was mainly from fodder polluted via dl-PCBs. The meat segment VI (tail) exhibited a strong enrichment effect of polychlorinated benzofurans (PCDFs). It should be the key part for dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls assessment. Further, the results were helpful to improve the edible safety of eel products and the efficiency of the risk assessment of dioxins and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls in fish. Graphical
