Notes:
Adenine nucleotides and their related compounds in white and dark muscles of yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata were measured and compared during ice storage. In white muscle, adenosine 5′-triphosphate was degraded rapidly to inosine 5′-monophosphate, which then underwent gradual build-up of inosine (HxR). In dark muscle, HxR accumulated very rapidly and the K value, a freshness index, thus increased at a greater initial rate than in the white muscle (62 vs 3%/day). Urate occurred in a small amount only in the white muscle stored for over 40 days (0.2 μmole/g), while little was found in the dark muscle during the entire storage period. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, which existed in both the fresh white and dark muscles (0.8 vs 0.4 μmole/g), decreased rapidly in the early stage of storage.
