Abstract: Purpose: In order to provide the basis for the processing and value-added utilization of Crassostrea hongkongensis, we analyzed the chemical composition and odor characteristics of cultured C. hongkongensis from different coastal areas in China. Methods: Nutrient components, amino acids, betaine, heavy metal elements and microelements, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and ATP-related compounds, the composition and contents of volatile odor compounds were determined in oysters from Qinzhou of Guanxi, and Yangjiang, Zhanjiang and Shantou of Guangdong. Results: The highest contents of ash, protein and taurine were found in Qinzhou oyster, the highest content of glycogen in Yangjiang oyster, the highest contents of water and betaine in Zhanjiang oyster, the highest contents of fat and total sugar in Shantou oyster , and the highest amount of amino acids in Qinzhou oyster. Inosinic acid (IMP) contributed the most to the taste of oyster, and the contents of Fe, Zn and Cu in Shantou oyster were the highest. (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal played a significant role in the characteristic odor of Chengcun, Qinzhou and Zhanjiang oysters, whereas 1-octen-3-one was found to be the most important volatile odor substance in Shantou oyster. Conclusion: The flavor and volatile components of C. hongkongensis varied among different culture areas, with significant differences being found in the contents of nutrients, amino acids and elements.
