Intestinal microbiota community composition of four Xinjiang sheep breeds and its correlation with lipid metabolism and volatile compounds
The results revealed a link between the unique flavor profile of Xinjiang mutton and the composition of its intestinal microbiota. The intestinal microbiota directly modulates host lipid metabolism through the secretion of SCFAs, ultimately regulating lipid deposition and VOCs in mutton. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
