Popis: We investigated the free amino acid (FAA) composition, glycogen content, and body index of 31 brands of oyster Crassostrea gigas to evaluate their taste graphically using a three-dimensional (3D) graph. Taurine was the most abundant FAA, followed by glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, and proline. Based on the sensory evaluation, oysters with a higher glycogen content were more often evaluated as “sweet” or “rich.” Furthermore, higher total FAA and serine (Ser) contents were associated with a higher probability that an oyster brand would be evaluated as “sweet” or “rich,” respectively. On a 3D graph correlating the taste of oyster brands with their total FAA, Ser, and glycogen contents, two new brands, “Amakoro-kaki” and “Atamakko-kaki,” were located within the strong sweet and rich taste group, which supported the findings of the sensory evaluations. Our results indicate that both richness and a refreshing sensation can be predicted from body index, glycogen content, and sensory evaluation.
