L-ascorbyl-2-monophosphate-Na/Ca (AMP-Na/Ca) was used as a vitamin C source to investigate its ascorbic acid (L-AA) enrichment and retention in boosted Artemia biomass (AB) and squid mantle muscle (SM). Different doses of AMP-Na/Ca (500, 1000, and 1500 AMP-Na/Ca mg/kg) were gradually dissolved into the culture tanks at time 0 (T 0 ) and at each hour until Hour 6 (T 6 ). Samples of AB and SM were taken for AMP-Na/Ca and L-AA analysis at T 0 , T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , T 4, T 5 , T 6 , T 12 , and T 24 . There were no significant differences (P > 0.05) among the AB groups at T 1 . The T 6 enrichment analysis for AB resulted in significant differences (P < 0.05) in the AMP-Na/Ca content for the 1500 mg/kg treatment, in which the initial concentration (0.001 ± 0.002 mg/kg) increased by more than 16-fold. For all AB enrichment treatments, the AMP-Na/Ca content demonstrated a decrease (32-11%) for the T 6 , T 12 and T 24 analysis. The T 1 analysis for SM at the higher AMP-Na/Ca enrichment concentration registered 30 mg/kg of L-AA and decreased (27.6%) at T 6 . This study demonstrated that AB and SM can be boosted with AMP-Na/Ca.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
