| Abstract: |
| Litopenaeus vannamei is one of the very popular seafoods with higher nutritional value. However，
melanosis of the shrimp occurs easily because polyphenol oxidase（ PPO） catalyses a series of biochemical reactions
during storage and processing after capture. Although melanosis does not affect the nutritional value of shrimp，it
seriously affects shrimp sensory quality and commercial value，then causes severe economic loses. At present，sulfite
and 4-hexylresorcinol（ 4-HR） are widely used to prevent melanosis of the shrimps commercially. However，some
researches show that they have potential hazards to human health and have been prohibited to use as food additives in many countries. Therefore，it is very important to develop green，safe and effective melanosis inhibitors of shrimps.
In the previous studies，three sulfydryl compounds（ L-cysteine，glutathione and N-acetyl-L-cysteine） had better
inhibitory effects on PPO from L. vannamei. In this study，regarding sterile water，sodium sulfite and 4-HR treatment
as controls，melanosis inhibition of three sulfhydryl compounds on L. vannamei was explored during refrigerated storage.
The results show as follows：Compared with the sterile water treatment，three sulfydryl compounds have better inhibitory
melanosis effect on L. vannamei. Three sulfydryl compounds have the same inhibitory melanosis effect on L. vannamei
with sodium sulfite，but less than that of 4-HR. Three sulfydryl compounds do not have obvious preservation effect on L.
vannamei. Therefore，three sulfhydryl compounds can replace sodium sulfite as effective melanosis inhibitors of shrimps.
They must be mixed with other antibacterial substances if shrimps need to be preserved meanwhile. |
