This study explored the best domestication time for mud crabs domesticated in the same region and found that it takes at least a month. The results provide a theoretical basis and technical reference for the directional cultivation of mud crabs.
In this study, the best domestication time for mud crabs ( Scylla paramamosain ) that were domesticated in the same region was explored. MC crabs (Mang Cai City, Vietnam), TS crabs (Taishan City, Guangdong Province, China), and NB crabs (Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China) were used as experiment groups, which were all domesticated in the Sanmen area for 28 days. Then, free amino acids and flavor nucleotides in muscles and hepatopancreas were determined. In MC and NB crabs, flavor amino acids in hepatopancreas and equivalent umami concentration (EUC) of flavor nucleotides in the hepatopancreas and muscles were lower than those of CK1 and CK3 crabs before domestication (0 day). There was no significant difference between MC and CK1 and between NB and CK3 crabs after 28 days of domestication. The content of umami amino acids, the total content of flavor nucleotides, and EUC in the hepatopancreas in TS crabs were lower than those in CK2 crabs and were still lower than those in CK2 crabs after 28 days of domestication. Therefore, it takes at least a month to domesticate mud crabs. The theoretical basis and technical reference for the directional cultivation of the flavor quality of mud crabs were provided in this study..
