description This study aims to shed light on the association between non-volatile and volatile compounds related to flavor/taste characteristics as well as sensory acceptability of Nile tilapia fillet (<i>Oreochromis niloticus</i>) cooked by various sous-vide (SV) conditions (50–60 ℃, 30–60 min), with fish cooked with boiling water used as control. Higher temperatures and longer processing times of SV cooking led to greater protein and lipid oxidation as indicated by the increase in total sulfhydryl (-SH), carbonyl, free fatty acid (FFA) contents as well as peroxide values (PV) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) values. The differences in flavor/taste components including adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-related compounds, free amino acids (FAAs) and volatiles were also obtained, which directly affect sensory acceptability as evaluated by using the hedonic scale. Based on principal component analysis (PCA) results, the acceptability score was strongly correlated with inosine monophosphate (IMP) and acetoin, which seem to be the most crucial flavor enhancers for cooked tilapia. Among all samples, tilapia processed at 60 °C for 45 and 60 min, which contained significantly higher IMP and acetoin (<i>p</i> < 0.05) than others, had significantly higher flavor-liking and overall-liking scores, with a more than 7.5 meaning for high acceptability (<i>p</i> < 0.05), indicating the optimal SV conditions for tilapia fillet. Overall, the present finding indicated that the SV-cooking technique, at the optimal conditions, can improve the meat quality of cooked fish, in terms of flavor/taste characteristics, compared with traditional cooking (control).
