Razor clams, which are rich in diverse lipids, are notable for their unique health benefits and functional properties. This study comprehensively characterized and compared the composition and bioactivities of razor clam lipids after freeze drying (FD) and hot air drying (HD) using UPLC-MS/MS-based lipidomics and zebrafish models. Lipidomics analysis identified 1056 lipids classified into five lipid classes, among which glycerophospholipid (GP) was the most abundant, accounting for 57.39% of the total lipids. The total lipids were also grouped into 24 lipid subclasses, including dominated triglycerides, phosphatidylethanolamines, and phosphatidylcholines. Differential lipid species were identified between the FD, HD, and fresh (FS) sample groups, with 174, 141, and 154 species differing between FD vs. FS, HD vs. FS, and FD vs. HD, respectively. The antithrombotic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities of lipids extracted from FD, HD, and FS razor clams were evaluated using the zebrafish model. Lipids from FD and FS razor clams exhibited all bioactivities at some concentrations, while HD lipids showed antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory activities but lacked antioxidant activity. In summary, the lipid composition and bioactivities of fresh razor clams were altered following FD and HD processes, with significant differences observed between the two methods. These findings underscore the nutritional value of fresh razor clams after processing and provide insights for developing razor clam products.
蛏子富含多种脂质,以其独特的健康益处和功能特性而闻名。本研究使用基于超高效液相色谱-串联质谱(UPLC-MS/MS)的脂质组学和斑马鱼模型,全面表征并比较了冷冻干燥(FD)和热风干燥(HD)后蛏子脂质的组成和生物活性。脂质组学分析鉴定出1056种脂质,分为五类脂质,其中甘油磷脂(GP)含量最高,占总脂质的57.39%。总脂质还被分为24个脂质亚类,包括占主导地位的甘油三酯、磷脂酰乙醇胺和磷脂酰胆碱。在FD、HD和新鲜(FS)样品组之间鉴定出了差异脂质种类,FD与FS、HD与FS、FD与HD之间分别有174、141和154种不同。使用斑马鱼模型评估了从FD、HD和FS蛏子中提取的脂质的抗血栓、抗炎和抗氧化活性。FD和FS蛏子的脂质在某些浓度下均表现出所有生物活性,而HD脂质表现出抗血栓和抗炎活性,但缺乏抗氧化活性。总之,新鲜蛏子的脂质组成和生物活性在FD和HD处理后发生了变化,两种方法之间存在显著差异。这些发现强调了新鲜蛏子加工后的营养价值,并为开发蛏子产品提供了见解。
