Abstract
Modernization of the traditional fermentation industry has been a major trend recently, such as the upgrading of fermentation containers. This study investigated the taste differences and their material basis of soy sauce fermented in tank and pond (SSFT and SSFP), and further explore the key influencing factors of taste. The intensities of umami, kokumi and sour taste in SSFT were weaker than SSFP, which were associated with 9 basic taste-active compounds, including acetic acid, lactic acid, propanedioic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid, alanine, tyrosine, d-galactose and erythritol. Moreover, 270 peptides and amino acid derivatives were potential compounds for taste difference, of which 78 % were more abundant in SSFP. Five bacterial genera (Kocuria, Tetragenococcus, Pediococcus, Staphylococcus, Weissella) and 4 fungal genera (Wickerhamiella, Millerozyma, Candida, Zygosaccharomyces) may be the functional core microbe for flavor differences in SSFT and SSFP. This study will provide theoretical value for quality improvement in the modern large-scale production of soy sauce.

Screening of a Microbial Culture Collection: Empowering Selection of Starters for Enhanced Sensory Attributes of Pea-Protein-Based Beverages. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:15890-15905.

Abstract
Pea-protein-based ingredients are gaining attention in the food industry due to their nutritional benefits and versatility, but their bitter, astringent, green, and beany off-flavors pose challenges. This study applied fermentation using microbial cultures to enhance the sensory qualities of pea-protein-based beverages. Using UHPLC-TOF-MS analyses along with sensory profile comparisons, microbial species such as Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus johnsonii, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium longum were preselected from an entire culture collection and found to be effective in improving the overall flavor impression by reducing bitter off-notes and enhancing aroma profiles. Notably, L. johnsonii NCC533 and L. fermentum NCC660 exhibited controlled proteolytic activities after 48 h of fermentation, enriching the matrix with taste-active amino acids, nucleotides, and peptides and improving umami and salty flavors while mitigating bitterness. This study has extended traditional volatile analyses, including nonvolatile metabolomic, proteomic, and sensory analyses and offering a detailed view of fermentation-induced biotransformations in pea-protein-based food. The results highlight the importance of combining comprehensive screening approaches and sensoproteomic techniques in developing tastier and more palatable plant-based protein products.

Abstract
In the study of protein-rich byproducts, enzymatic hydrolysis stands as a prominent technique, generating bioactive peptides. Combining exo- and endopeptidases could enhance both biological and sensory properties. Ultrasound pretreatment is one of the most promising techniques for the optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis. This research aimed to create tasteful and biologically active pork liver hydrolyzates by using sequential hydrolysis with two types of enzymes and two types of ultrasound pretreatments. Sequential hydrolyzates exhibited a higher degree of hydrolysis than single ones. Protana Prime hydrolyzates yielded the largest amount of taste-related amino acids, enhancing sweet, bittersweet, and umami amino acids according to the Taste Activity Value (TAV). These hydrolyzates also displayed significantly higher antioxidant activity. Among sequential hydrolyzates, Flavourzyme and Protana Prime hydrolyzates pretreated with ultrasound showed the highest ferrous ion chelating activity. Overall, employing both Alcalase and Protana Prime on porcine livers pretreated with ultrasound proved to be highly effective in obtaining potentially tasteful and biologically active hydrolyzates.

Abstract
This study investigated the mechanism underlying the flavor improvement observed during fermentation of a pea protein-based beverage using Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC533. A combination of sensomics and sensoproteomics approach revealed that the fermentation process enriched or generated well-known basic taste ingredients, such as amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids, and dipeptides, besides six new taste-active peptide sequences that enhance kokumi and umami notes. The six new umami and kokumi enhancing peptides, with human recognition thresholds ranging from 0.046 to 0.555 mM, are produced through the degradation of Pisum sativum's storage protein. Our findings suggest that compounds derived from fermentation enhance umami and kokumi sensations and reduce bitterness, thus improving the overall flavor perception of pea proteins. In addition, the analysis of intraspecific variations in the proteolytic activity of L. johnsonii and the genome-peptidome correlation analysis performed in this study point at cell-wall-bound proteinases such as PrtP and PrtM as the key genes necessary to initiate the flavor improving proteolytic cascade. This study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the flavor improvement of pea protein during fermentation and identifies potential future research directions. The results highlight the importance of combining fermentation and senso(proteo)mics techniques in developing tastier and more palatable plant-based protein products.

Abstract
Douchi is a kind of traditional Chinese fermented soybean product with outstanding umami taste. Besides the umami amino acids in Douchi, peptides were also considered as an important contributor for the umami taste of Douchi. Peptides with molecular weight below 0.66 kDa accounted for more than 50 % in all samples except for TongChuan Douchi, and a total of 421 peptides were identified from the ten kinds of Douchi samples by using LC-MS/MS. Combined with sensory evaluation results, 19 peptides containing Glu, Asp or known umami peptide sequences were chosen as potential umami peptides via PLS-DA and RDA analysis. Among them, 17 soluble peptides exhibited obvious umami taste and the threshold of 7 peptides were lower than MSG solution. Especially, the VD was detected with a minimum umami taste threshold at 0.16 mg/mL. The results indicated that the umami peptides might be the important components affecting the umami taste of Douchi.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the flavor changes in Huangshan floral mushroom by different enzyme treatments. Seven enzyme groups were used to hydrolyze its protein to obtain protein hydrolysates (FPHs). Flavourzyme composite with dispase hydrolysates (FDHs) were selected for ultrafiltration to obtain peptides (FPs) with different molecular weights (Mw). Changes in flavor were investigated using HPLC, LC-MS, GC-MS, amino acid analysis and sensory evaluation. Color parameters and DPPH-scavenging activity were also determined. The results revealed that flavor characteristics of FPHs obtained from different enzyme treatments varied. FDHs presented the highest degree of hydrolysis (DH) (58.61 ± 1.55) %, rich 5'-nucleotides (8.61 ± 0.43 mg/mL), volatile compounds (28.54 ± 0.11 μg/g) and free amino acids (FAAs) (7.73 ± 0.51 mg/g). Further tests suggested that FPs with small Mw (<1K, 1-3 K) were optimal for the development of novel flavors, thus providing application value for rational utilization of Huangshan floral mushroom.

Abstract
Taste receptors are found in the gastrointestinal tract, where they are susceptible to dietary modulation, a key point that is crucial for diet-related responses. Insects are sustainable and good-quality protein sources. This study analyzed the impact of insect consumption on the modulation of taste receptor expression across various segments of the rat intestine under healthy or inflammatory conditions. Female Wistar rats were supplemented with Tenebrio molitor (T) or Alphitobius diaperinus (B), alongside a control group (C), over 21 days under healthy or LPS-induced inflammation. The present study reveals, for the first time, that insect consumption modulates taste receptor gene expression, mainly in the ascending colon. This modulation was not found under inflammation. Integrative analysis revealed colonic Tas1r1 as a key discriminator for insect consumption (C = 1.04 ± 0.32, T = 1.78 ± 0.72, B = 1.99 ± 0.82, p-value <0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Additionally, correlation analysis showed the interplay between intestinal taste receptors and metabolic and inflammatory responses. These findings underscore how insect consumption modulates taste receptors, influencing intestinal function and broader physiological mechanisms.

Abstract
Taste is one of the five senses that detect vital information about what we are eating. Comprehending taste is crucial for enhancing the flavor of foodstuffs and high-protein foods like meat. Umami has global recognition as the fifth elementary taste, alongside sweetness, sourness, saltiness, and bitterness. Umami compounds are known to enhance the sensation of recognized flavors such as salty, sweet, bitter, and others. This could end up in greater food consumption by consumption by consumers. With the rising global population, meat consumption is rising and is projected to double by 2025. It is crucial to comprehend the umami mechanism of meat and meat products, identify novel compounds, and employ laboratory methodologies to gather varied information. This knowledge will aid in the development of new consumer products. Although very limited information is available on umami taste and compounds in meat through research data. This article discusses recent advancements in umami compounds in other foodstuff as well as meat to aid in designing future research and meat product development. Moreover, another objective of this review is to learn present techniques in foodstuffs to enhance umami taste and utilize that knowledge in meat products.

Abstract
Umami substances play a significant role in the evaluation of food quality, and their synergistic enhancement is of great importance in improving and intensifying food flavors and tastes. Current biosensors available for umami detection still confront challenges in simultaneous quantification of multiple umami substances and umami intensities. In this study, an innovative dual-channel magnetic relaxation switching taste biosensor (D-MRSTB) was developed for the quantitative detection of representative umami substances. The multienzyme signal of D-MRSTB specifically catalyzes the umami substances of interest to generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which is then used to oxidate Fe2+ to Fe3+. Such a valence-state transition of paramagnetic ions was utilized as a magnetic relaxation signaling switch to influence the transverse magnetic relaxation time (T2) within the reaction milieu, thus achieving simultaneous detection of monosodium glutamate (MSG) and inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP). The biosensor showed good linearity (R2 > 0.99) in the concentration range of 50-1000 and 10-1000 μmol/L, with limits of detection (LOD) of 0.61 and 0.09 μmol/L for MSG and IMP, respectively. Furthermore, the biosensor accurately characterized the synergistic effect of the mixed solution of IMP and MSG, where ΔT2 showed a good linear relationship with the equivalent umami concentration (EUC) of the mixed solution (R2 = 0.998). Moreover, the D-MRSTB successfully achieved the quantitative detection of umami compounds in real samples. This sensing technology provides a powerful tool for achieving the detection of synergistic enhancement among umami compounds and demonstrates its potential for application in the food industry.

Abstract
Chrysanthemum tea, a typical health tea with the same origin as medicine and food, is famous for its unique health benefits and flavor. The taste and sensory quality of chrysanthemum (Juhua) tea are mainly determined by secondary metabolites. Therefore, the present research adopted untargeted metabolomics combined with an electronic tongue system to analyze the correlation between the metabolite profiles and taste characteristics of different varieties of chrysanthemum tea. The results of sensory evaluation showed that there were significant differences in the sensory qualities of five different varieties of chrysanthemum tea, especially bitterness and astringency. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that there were significant metabolic differences among the five chrysanthemum teas. A total of 1775 metabolites were identified by using untargeted metabolomics based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS analysis. According to the variable importance in projection (VIP) values of the orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), 143 VIP metabolites were found to be responsible for metabolic changes between Huangju and Jinsi Huangju tea; among them, 13 metabolites were identified as the key metabolites of the differences in sensory quality between them. Kaempferol, luteolin, genistein, and some quinic acid derivatives were correlated with the "astringency" attributes. In contrast, l-(-)-3 phenyllactic acid and L-malic acid were found to be responsible for the "bitterness" and "umami" attributes in chrysanthemum tea. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis showed that the flavonoid and flavonol biosynthesis pathways had important effects on the sensory quality of chrysanthemum tea. These findings provide the theoretical basis for understanding the characteristic metabolites that contribute to the distinctive sensory qualities of chrysanthemum tea.

Abstract
In the realm of human nutrition, the phenomenon known as taste refers to a distinctive sensation elicited by the consumption of food and various compounds within the oral cavity and on the tongue. Moreover, taste affects the overall comfort in the oral cavity, and is a fundamental attribute for the assessment of food items. Accordingly, clarifying the material basis of taste would be conducive to deepening the cognition of taste, investigating the mechanism of taste presentation, and accurately covering up unpleasant taste. In this paper, the basic biology and physiology of transduction of bitter, umami, sweet, sour, salty, astringent, as well as spicy tastes are reviewed. Furthermore, the detection process of taste components is summarized. Particularly, the applications, advantages, and distinctions of various isolation, identification, and evaluation methods are discussed in depth. In conclusion, the future of taste component detection is discussed.

Abstract
The human bitter taste 2 receptor member 16 (TAS2R16) is one of 25 class A G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and responds to a variety of molecules responsible for the bitter taste sensation perceived in humans. TAS2R16 can be activated by β-glucopyranosides, and its activation can be inhibited by probenecid, a synthetic drug compound used to treat gout. In this study we describe naturally derived compounds which can inhibit the activation of TAS2R16 by salicin in vitro. These compounds belong to the lignan class derived from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis, which is commonly known as the five-flavour berry. We further tested other analogs with this lignan scaffold, found their differential inhibitory activities towards TAS2R16 in vitro, and sought to rationalize the activity using molecular docking of these lignans on a computationally modelled structure of TAS2R16. Selected lignans with inhibitory activity against other TAS2Rs reveal sub-millimolar inhibitory activity towards TAS2R10, TAS2R14, and TAS2R43 in cell-based assays. These compounds with demonstrated in vitro inhibition of bitter taste receptors may serve as tool compounds to investigate the molecular mechanisms of hTAS2Rs biology in gustatory and non-gustatory tissues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To understand the mechanism of co-inoculation of Staphylococcus vitulinus and Staphylococcus xylosus (SX&SV) on taste quality of dry-cured bacon, physicochemical parameters, microbial community, metabolite compositions and taste attributes were investigated during the processing of dry-cured bacon with Staphylococcus inoculation. The potential correlation between core bacteria and metabolites was evaluated, and the metabolic pathway of key metabolites was further explored. RESULTS The values of pH, water activity and adhesiveness were significantly lower in SX&SV, and more than 2.56- and 2.15-fold higher values in richness and overall acceptance were found in SX&SV bacon than in CK bacon. The overwhelming advantage of Staphylococcus was confirmed in SX&SV by high-throughput sequencing. Sixty-six metabolites were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and oligopeptides, amino acid derivatives and organic acids were the key components. Pearson correlation demonstrated that the accumulation of oligopeptides, amino acid derivatives and organic acids were positively correlated with high abundance of Staphylococcus. The pathways of purine metabolism, glutathione metabolism and glutamate metabolism were mainly involved in developing the taste quality of SX&SV. CONCLUSION The co-inoculation of Staphylococcus vitulinus and Staphylococcus xylosus enhanced the taste attributes of dry-cured bacon. The present study provides the theoretical reference with respect to regulating the taste quality of fermented meat products by starter cultures of Staphylococcus during manufacture. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Cui H, Li H, Wu Y, Hu X. Identification, flavor characteristics and molecular docking of umami taste peptides of Xuanwei ham. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113211.

Abstract
To better understand the palatable properties of Xuanwei ham, the aqueous extract was isolated, analyzed and combin with sensory evaluation. Of umami-tasting activity and umami-enhancing impact, four new peptides (MDAIKKMQ, RKYEEVAR, YVGDEAQSKRG, and VNVDEVGGEALGR) were extracted and identified by ultrafiltration, gel separation, reverse performance liquid chromatography, and nano-LC-MS / MS. Sensory evaluation results showed that all of them had umami activity and enhanced umami taste, among which VNVDEVGGEALGR had the best effect. These peptides' umami taste thresholds ranged from 0.25 to 0.8 mg/mL. The MSG solution's umami taste threshold ranged from 0.125 to 0.5 mg/mL. Molecular docking results showed that the four umami peptides could be embedded into the binding pocket of the T1R3 cavity of the umami taste receptor T1R1/T1R3, wherein the binding sites Asp219, Asp150, and Thr179 may play crucial roles, and Glu222, Asp108, Glu217 and Glu148 play auxiliary roles. Hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions were the most prominent interaction forces. This study helps to clarify the flavor characteristics of Xuanwei ham and could improve new processing technology.

Abstract
Unclear taste mechanisms of peptides limit rapid screening of taste peptides with high intensity. In this study, the taste mechanisms of umami and bitter peptides from Chouguiyu were compared. After molecular docking of core umami (NWDDMEK, WFKDEEF, EEEKPKF, DFDDIQK, and DGEKVDF) and bitter (VQDVLKL, VELLKLE, LVVDGVK, VVDLTVR, and VVDGVKL) peptides with T1R1/T1R3 and TASR14, respectively, salt bridges and conventional hydrogen bonds were the main interactions in all taste peptides, in which acidic amino acid residues contributed to the interaction with their receptors. The taste intensity of peptides after solid-phase synthesis was further verified using electronic tongue technology. Spearman correlation analysis showed that docking energy was an important factor for the intensity of taste peptides, while interaction energy and the distance between the binding unit (BU) and the stimulating unit (SU) were also responsible for the bitter intensity. This study provides a theoretical basis to screen novel taste peptides with high taste intensity in fermented foods.

Abstract
Umami peptides have received extensive attention due to their ability to enhance flavors and provide nutritional benefits. The increasing demand for novel umami peptides and the vast number of peptides present in food call for more efficient methods to screen umami peptides, and further exploration is necessary. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop deep learning (DL) model to realize rapid screening of umami peptides. The Umami-BERT model was devised utilizing a novel two-stage training strategy with Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and the inception network. In the pre-training stage, attention mechanisms were implemented on a large amount of bioactive peptides sequences to acquire high-dimensional generalized features. In the re-training stage, umami peptide prediction was carried out on UMP789 dataset, which is developed through the latest research. The model achieved the performance with an accuracy (ACC) of 93.23% and MCC of 0.78 on the balanced dataset, as well as an ACC of 95.00% and MCC of 0.85 on the unbalanced dataset. The results demonstrated that Umami-BERT could predict umami peptides directly from their amino acid sequences and exceeded the performance of other models. Furthermore, Umami-BERT enabled the analysis of attention pattern learned by Umami-BERT model. The amino acids Alanine (A), Cysteine (C), Aspartate (D), and Glutamicacid (E) were found to be the most significant contributors to umami peptides. Additionally, the patterns of summarized umami peptides involving A, C, D, and E were analyzed based on the learned attention weights. Consequently, Umami-BERT exhibited great potential in the large-scale screening of candidate peptides and offers novel insight for the further exploration of umami peptides.

Abstract
Introduction The knowledge accrued through research in the domain of crossmodal correspondences has had a significant influence on a diverse array of disciplines, including behavioral studies, neuroscience, computational modeling, and notably, marketing, with the objective of aligning sensory experiences to help shape patterns of consumer behavior. A study is reported that explores the extension of these principles to the communication of products having a notably complex sensory profile, specifically within the context of wine. The central aim of the project is to explore the feasibility of using crossmodal communication as a strategic tool to augment the congruence between the consumers' multisensory expectations and their sensory experiences. For consumers venturing into the realm of wine selection without the advantage of prior tasting experience, it is of paramount importance to possess a robust understanding of the mandated information. This encompasses critical elements such as the wine's origin, grape varietal(s) used, geographical indications, producer qualifications, and the potential implications of these factors on the final wine product. This level of comprehension stands as a necessary prerequisite, enabling these consumers to make informed choices that align with their preferences, even in the absence of previous sensory encounters. Nonetheless, semiotic investigations underscore the significance attributed to symbolic components such as signs, logos, colors, gestures, and linguistic cues. Research from the field performing multisensory studies, presents a counterpoint to prevailing communication paradigms, advocating for a heightened incorporation of metaphors, analogies, symbols, metonymies, and allegories. This alternative approach aims to enhance the efficacy of communication strategies, offering a more profound and evocative means of conveying intricate messages on a more holistic level. Methods A questionnaire was sent to a specific group of engaged wine consumers (n = 329). Besides questions regarding demographics, purchase behavior, and consumption behavior, the questionnaire included examples of multisensory communication through a selection of symbols, as well as alternative wine information. Results The results showed significant correlations between demographics, consumption behavior, and attitudes toward the tested multisensory symbols and alternative information, thus helping to gain a better understanding of the sensory properties that should be communicated on wine labels. Discussion The findings reported here highlight the effectiveness of visual crossmodal communication as a promising pathway capable of skillfully capturing consumer attributes, conveying multisensory experiences, and portraying the comprehensive timeline of taste evolution. As a result, it assumes a pivotal role as a communicative tool for intricate consumables, like wine, functioning at the crossroads of visual and sensory dimensions.

In order for its umami peptides to be discovered, huangjiu was subjected to ultrafiltration, ethanol precipitation, and macroporous resin purification processes. The target fractions were gathered according to sensory evaluation. Subsequently, we used peptidomics to identify the sum of 4158 peptides in most umami fractions. Finally, six novel umami peptides (DTYNPR, TYNPR, SYNPR, RFRQGD, NFHHGD, and FHHGD) and five umami-enhancing peptides (TYNPR, SYNPR, NFHHGD, FHHGD, and TVDGPSH) were filtered via virtual screening, molecular docking, and sensory verification. Moreover, the structure-activity relationship was discussed using computational approaches. Docking analysis showed that all umami peptides tend to bind with T1R1 through hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic forces, which involve key residues HIS71, ASP147, ARG151, TYR220, SER276, and ALA302. The active site calculation revealed that the positions of the key umami residues D and R in the terminal may cause taste differences in identified peptides.

[PMID: 37509799 PMCID: PMC10378946 DOI: 10.3390/foods12142707] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2023] [Revised: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/12/2023] [Indexed: 07/30/2023] Open
Abstract
To elucidate the relation of flavor in soy sauce (SS) kept at room temperature (SSAT) and SS kept under accelerated aging condition (SSAA), four analytical instruments, including electronic nose (E-nose), electronic tongue (E-tongue), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactory combined with solvent assisted flavor evaporation, and amino acid analyzer, were applied for analyzing the overall flavor profiles and flavor constituents in SSAT and SSAA. The results of E-nose and E-tongue showed overall flavor profile in SSAT for 3 weeks was similar to that of SSAA for 1 week, and 6 weeks (SSAT) was similar to 2 weeks (SSAA). In SS, a total of 35 odor-active compounds were identified and quantitated, and 22 compounds with odor activity value ≥1 were determined as key odorants. The compounds with the highest concentration were 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone (28,756 μg/mL), followed by acetic acid (8838 μg/mL) and maltol (7984 μg/mL). The heatmap and hierarchical cluster analysis indicated that the concentrations of key odorants and amino acids in SSAT for 3 weeks was close to those of SSAA for 1 week, and 6 weeks (SSAT) was similar to 2 weeks (SSAA). Based on the results obtained above, it was concluded that the flavor changes in SSAA for 1 week were equivalent to those in SSAT for 3 weeks.

Abstract
Bitter and sweet taste G protein-coupled receptors (known as T2Rs and T1Rs, respectively) were originally identified in type II taste cells on the tongue, where they signal perception of bitter and sweet tastes, respectively. Over the past ~15 years, taste receptors have been identified in cells all over the body, demonstrating a more general chemosensory role beyond taste. Bitter and sweet taste receptors regulate gut epithelial function, pancreatic β cell secretion, thyroid hormone secretion, adipocyte function, and many other processes. Emerging data from a variety of tissues suggest that taste receptors are also used by mammalian cells to "eavesdrop" on bacterial communications. These receptors are activated by several quorum-sensing molecules, including acyl-homoserine lactones and quinolones from Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, competence stimulating peptides from Streptococcus mutans, and D-amino acids from Staphylococcus aureus. Taste receptors are an arm of immune surveillance similar to Toll-like receptors and other pattern recognition receptors. Because they are activated by quorum-sensing molecules, taste receptors report information about microbial population density based on the chemical composition of the extracellular environment. This review summarizes current knowledge of bacterial activation of taste receptors and identifies important questions remaining in this field.

Abstract
Sensory attributes are essential factors in determining the quality of wines. However, it can be challenging for consumers, even experts, to differentiate and quantify wines' sensory attributes for quality control. Soft sensors based on rapid chemical analysis offer a potential solution to overcome this challenge. However, the current limitation in developing soft sensors for wines is the need for a significant number of input parameters, at least 12, necessitating costly and time-consuming analyses. While such a comprehensive approach provides high accuracy in sensory quality mapping, the expensive and time-consuming studies required do not lend themselves to the industry's routine quality control activities. In this work, Box plots, Tucker-1 plots, and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) score plots were used to deal with output data (sensory attributes) to improve the model quality. More importantly, this work has identified that the number of analyses required to fully quantify by regression models and qualify by classification models can be significantly reduced. Based on regression models, only four key chemical parameters (total flavanols, total tannins, A520nmHCl, and pH) were required to accurately predict 35 sensory attributes of a wine with R2 values above 0.6 simultaneously. In addition, for classification models to accurately predict 35 sensory attributes of a wine at once with prediction accuracy above 70%, only four key chemical parameters (A280nmHCl, A520nmHCl, chemical age and pH) were required. These models with reduced chemical parameters complement each other in sensory quality mapping and provide acceptable accuracy. The application of the soft sensor based on these reduced sets of key chemical parameters translated to a potential reduction in analytical cost and labour cost of 56% for the regression model and 83% for the classification model, respectively, making these models suitable for routine quality control use.

Abstract
Synergistic effect is one of the main properties of umami substances, elucidating the synergistic effect of umami is of great significance in the food industry. In this study, a bimetallic bionic taste sensor was developed to evaluate the synergistic effect of umami substances based on the perceptual mechanism of the human taste system. The Venus flytrap domain of T1R1 which is in charge of recognizing umami ligands was employed as the sensing element and self-assembled on the bimetallic nanomaterial (MoS2-PtPd) by Au-S bonding, the binding of receptors and ligands is characterized by changes of electrical signals. The sensor had good linearity (R2 > 0.99) and wide detection range in the detection of different kinds of umami substances (amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids, umami peptides) with detection limits as low as 0.03 pM. Comparing with electronic tongues, the sensor owned multiple characteristics of human taste system and could recognize the presence of synergistic effect of umami substances in a variety of real samples. Moreover, the differences in synergistic effect at different concentrations and ratios were also explored, the findings showed that the synergistic effect was more obvious at lower concentrations and balanced ratios of multiple umami substances added. The strategy would afford a promising platform for in-depth research on the mechanism of synergistic effect and multifunctional industrial applications.

Abstract
Bitterness is one of the basic tastes, and sensing bitterness plays a significant role in mammals recognizing toxic substances. The bitter taste of food and oral medicines may decrease consumer compliance. As a result, many efforts have been made to mask or decrease the bitterness in food and oral pharmaceutical products. The detection of bitterness is critical to evaluate how successful the taste-masking technology is, and many novel taste-sensing systems have been developed on the basis of various interaction mechanisms. In this review, we summarize the progress of bitterness response mechanisms and the development of novel sensors in detecting bitterness ranging from commercial electronic devices based on modified electrodes to micro-type sensors functionalized with taste cells, polymeric membranes, and other materials in the last two decades. The challenges and potential solutions to improve the taste sensor quality are also discussed.

Abstract
To understand the umami taste of fermented broad bean paste (FBBP) and explore the umami mechanism, eight peptides (PKALSAFK, NKHGSGK, SADETPR, EIKKAALDANEK, DALAHK, LDDGR, and GHENQR) were separated and identified via ultrafiltration, RP-HPLC, and UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS methods. Sensory experiments suggested that eight novel peptides showed umami/umami-enhancing and salt-enhancing functions. Significantly, the threshold of EIKKAALDANEK in aqueous solution exceeded that of most umami peptides reported in the past 5 years. The omission test further confirmed that umami peptides contributed to the umami taste of FBBP. Molecular docking results inferred that all peptides easily bind with Ser, Glu, His, and Asp residues in T1R3 through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions. The aromatic interaction, hydrogen bond, hydrophilicity, and solvent-accessible surface (SAS) were the main interaction forces. This work may contribute to revealing the secret of the umami taste of FBBP and lay the groundwork for the efficient screening of umami peptides.

Abstract
Umami peptides have currently become the research focus in the food umami science field and the key direction for umami agent development. This is because umami peptides have good processing characteristics, umami and nutritional values. We here used virtual screening (including online enzymolysis through ExPASy PeptideCutter, bioactivity screening using the PeptideRanker, toxicity and physicochemical property prediction using Innovagen and ToxinPred software), molecular docking, and electronic tongue analysis to identify umami peptides generated from Atlantic cod myosin. Twenty-three putative umami peptides were screened from the myosin. Molecular docking results suggested that these 23 peptides could enter the binding pocket in the T1R3 cavity, wherein Glu128 and Asp196 were the main amino acid residues, and that hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions were the main binding forces. Twelve synthetic peptides tested on the electronic tongue exhibited umami taste and a synergistic effect with monosodium glutamate (MSG). Among them, GGR, AGCD, and SGDAW had higher umami intensities than the other peptides, while SGDAW and NDDGW exhibited stronger umami-enhancing capabilities in 0.1% MSG solution. This study offers a method for the rapid screening of umami peptides from marine protein resources and places the foundation for their application in the food industry.

Abstract
Yogurt and its related products are popular worldwide. During transportation and storage, Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus in yogurt continues to metabolize to form lactic acid, the postacidification phenomenon of yogurt. Postacidification of yogurt is a widespread phenomenon in the dairy industry. Many scholars have done research on controlling the postacidification process, but few report on the molecular mechanisms involved. In this study, we used a molecular-assisted approach to screen food additives that can inhibit postacidification and analyzed its effects on yogurt quality as well as its regulatory mechanism from multi-omics perspectives in combination. The copper ion was found to upregulate the expression of the LDB_RS05285 gene, and the copper transporter-related genes were regulated by copper. Based on the metabolic-level analysis, copper was found to promote lactose hydrolysis, accumulate a large amount of glucose and galactose, inhibit the conversion of glucose to lactic acid, and reduce the production of lactic acid. The significantly greater abundance of l-isoleucine and l-phenylalanine increased the abundance of 3-methylbutyraldehyde (∼1.2 times) and benzaldehyde (∼7.9 times) to different degrees, which contributed to the formation of the overall flavor of yogurt. Copper not only stabilizes the acidity of yogurt, but also it improves the flavor of yogurt. Through this established method involving quantitative and correlation analyses at the transcriptional and metabolic levels, this study provides guidance for the research and development of food additives that inhibit postacidification of yogurt and provide a reference for studying the changes of metabolites during storage of yogurt.

Abstract
N-Lactoyl-amino acid derivatives (N-Lac-AAs) are of increasing interest as potential taste-active compounds. The complexity and diversity of N-Lac-AAs pose a significant challenge to the effective discovery of taste-active N-Lac-AAs. Therefore, a structure-based virtual screening was used to identify taste-active N-Lac-AAs. Virtual screening results showed that N-lactoyl-hydrophobic amino acids had a higher affinity for taste receptors, specifically N-l-Lac-l-Trp. And then, N-l-Lac-l-Trp was synthesized in yields of 22.3% by enzymatic synthesis in the presence of l-lactate and l-Trp, and its chemical structure was confirmed by MS/MS and one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) NMR. Sensory evaluation revealed that N-l-Lac-l-Trp had a significant taste-masking effect on quinine, d-salicin, caffeine, and l-Trp, particularly l-Trp and caffeine. N-l-Lac-l-Trp had a better masking effect on the higher concentration of bitter compounds. It reduced the bitterness of caffeine (500 mg/L) and l-Trp (1000 mg/L) by approximately 20 and 26%, respectively. The result of the ligand-receptor interaction and a quantum mechanical analysis showed that N-l-Lac-l-Trp increased the binding affinity to the bitter receptor mainly through hydrogen bonding and lowering the electrostatic potential.

Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of high-intensity ultrasound (HIU) application on meat quality traits, sensory parameters, and the microstructure of semitendinosus muscle from Hanwoo cattle. The samples were treated in an ultrasonic bath (35 kHz) at an intensity of 800 W/cm2 for 60 min, followed by aging at 1°C for 0, 3, and 7 days. The application of ultrasound resulted in lower Warner-Bratzler shear force and higher myofibrillar fragmentation index values during the storage period. HIU also enhanced the tenderness, flavor, umami, and overall acceptability of cooked beef muscle. However, the electronic tongue evaluation results showed higher umami values in the control treatment on the seventh day of storage. The microstructure of sonicated meat showed disorganized myofibrillar architecture and swelling in the A-band region of sarcomeres during the storage period, which led to greater meat tenderness. The heatmap illustrated the high abundance of α-linolenic acid (C20:5n3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C18:3n3) in sonicated meat samples on the third day of the storage. These results showed that HIU is a potential method for tenderizing and improving the sensory attributes of beef without compromising other quality aspects.

Abstract
In this study, genomics and metabolomics were combined to reveal possible bio-synthetic pathways of core flavor compounds in pickled chayote via lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. The Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Levilactobacillus brevis, and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei were selected as core LAB strains with better flavor-producing ability for chayote fermentation. The genomic results showed L. plantarum contained the largest number of metabolism annotated genes, while L. brevis had the fewest. Besides, the largest number of volatile compounds was detected in chayote fermented by L. plantarum, followed by L. brevis and L. paracasei. Some unique odor-active compounds (aldehydes, esters, and alcohols) and taste-active compounds (amino acids and dipeptides) were produced by different LAB strains. Accordingly, phenylalanine metabolic pathway (M00360), amino acid metabolic decomposition pathway (the Ehrlich pathway) and the anabolic pathway (the Harris pathway), and fatty acid biosynthesis pathway (M00061) were the main biosynthesis pathway involved in the flavor formation via LAB fermentation.

Abstract
Recent scientific evidence indicates that protein hydrolysates contain bioactive peptides that have potential benefits for human health. However, the bitter-tasting hydrophobic peptides in protein hydrolysates negatively affect the sensory quality of resulting products and limit their utilization in food and pharmaceutical industries. The approaches to reduce, mask, and remove bitter taste from protein hydrolysates have been extensively reported. This review paper focuses on the advances in the knowledge regarding the structure-bitterness relationship of peptides, the release mechanism of bitter peptides, and the debittering methods for protein hydrolysates. Bitter tastes generating with enzymatic hydrolysis of protein is influenced by the type, concentration, and bitter taste threshold of bitterness peptides. A "bell-shaped curve" is used to describe the relationship between the bitterness intensity of the hydrolysates and the degree of hydrolysis. The bitter receptor perceives bitter potencies of bitter peptides by the hydrophobicity recognition zone. The intensity of bitterness is influenced by hydrophobic and electronic properties of amino acids and the critical spatial structure of peptides. Compared to physicochemical debittering (i.e., selective separation, masking of bitter taste, encapsulation, Maillard reaction, and encapsulation) and other biological debittering (i.e., enzymatic hydrolysis, enzymatic deamidation, plastein reaction), enzymatic hydrolysis is a promising debittering approach as it combines protein hydrolyzation and debittering into a one-step process, but more work should be done to advance the knowledge on debittering mechanism of enzymatic hydrolysis and screening of suitable proteases. Further study can focus on combining physicochemical and biological approaches to achieve high debittering efficiency and produce high-quality products.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fish protein is a good source of amino acids and peptides with sensory properties. Theoretically, the type of protein affects the taste quality of the protein hydrolysates. To better use fish protein in the food ingredients industry, an in silico approach was adopted to evaluate the potential of fish protein to release taste-active compounds. RESULTS Six types of protein from seven commercial fishes were screened from the Uniprot knowledge base. The results showed that a remarkable number of umami fragments presented in myosin and parvalbumin (PB), such as glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), and Asp- and Glu- containing peptides, whereas sweet amino acids and bitter peptides (e.g., Pro- and Gly- containing peptides) were mainly found in collagen (CGI) in all fish samples. After the in silico proteolysis by papain, a difference in the profile of taste-active fragments was observed among the six types of proteins. Amino acids were the main hydrolysis products of these proteins, especially umami, sweet, and bitter amino acids, significantly contributing to the taste formation of protein hydrolysates. Besides, the myosin and CGI hydrolysates were abundant in taste active peptides both in types and quantities. CONCLUSION Myosin is a promising protein source for producing umami fragments, and CGI seems to be a good precursor of sweet and bitter fragments. Different types of protein have an essential effect on the taste of protein hydrolysates. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Lupines and faba beans are promising ingredients for the beverage industry. They contain high amounts of protein and can be grown in different climate zones and agricultural areas. Therefore, these legumes appear as ideal raw material for vegan, functional, and sustainable beverages. Nevertheless, the sensory characteristic of legumes is generally not accepted in beverages. Therefore, the market contribution of legume-based beverages is currently only marginal. This review highlights known major flavor aspects of lupines and faba beans and the possibilities to improve these by germination, heat treatment, enzymatic treatment, and subsequent lactic acid fermentation. First, the main aroma and taste compounds are described. Thereby, the "beany" aroma is identified as the most relevant off-flavor. Second, the nutrients and antinutrients of these legumes regarding to their use as food and as substrate for lactic acid fermentation are reviewed, and possibilities to modulate the substrate are summarized. Finally, the modification of the sensory profile by lactic acid fermentation is outlined. To conclude, it seems likely that the nutritional and flavor attributes in legume-based beverages can be improved by a combined process of substrate modulation and fermentation. In a first step, antinutrients should be decomposed and proteins solubilized while transforming the solid grains into a liquid substrate. Due to such substrate modulation, a broader variety of strains could be employed and the fermentation could be based exclusively on their impact on the flavor. By applying the concept of combining a substrate modulation with a subsequent fermentation, the use of legumes in beverages could be facilitated and new products like vegan, protein-rich, refreshing beverages could be marketed.

Abstract
The demand for low-salt foods is increasing due to their health benefits. Umami is known to enhance salty, and a large amount of umami components have been identified in edible fungi. 5'-nucleotides and umami amino acids from nine species of edible fungi were quantified. The equal umami concentration (EUC) in nine edible fungi was within the range of 37.7-1317.72 g MSG/100 g, and umami intensity as determined by electronic tongue and sensory evaluation was within the range of 11.22-13.53 and 2.85-5.55, respectively. Antler fungus had the highest umami intensity. Umami amino acids and nucleotides could increase salty intensity of NaCl at medium and high concentrations. The enzymatic hydrolysate of Antler fungus at higher concentrations could more effectively enhance salty taste of NaCl at lower concentration. This synergistic effect between umami and salty indicates that Antler fungus can potentially be used as an ingredient in low-salt foods.

Abstract
Edible scaffolds are needed in cultured meat to mimic meat's three-dimensional structure by organizing cells and replenishing the insufficient meat mass of cells alone. However, there is still a large gap between slaughtered meat and cells developed into tissues using scaffolds. This is mainly due to the difference in size, texture, flavor, and taste. In this study, we develop a coating matrix to modify the surface of textured vegetable protein (TVP), a vegetable cell support, to produce cultured meat having slaughtered meat's essential characteristics. We optimized the fish gelatin/agar matrix's microstructure by controlling the ratio of the two biopolymers, stably introducing a cell adhesive environment on the TVP. By coating the optimized gelatin/agar matrix on the TVP's surface using an easy and fast dipping method, hybrid cultured meat composed of animal cells and plant protein was produced. As the cells proliferated, their synergistic effect permitted the cultured meat's texture, flavor, and taste to reach a level comparable to that of slaughtered meat. The TVP-based cultured meat prepared with the present technology has been recreated as high-quality cultured meat by satisfying five challenging factors: cells, texture, cost, mass, and flavor.

Abstract
Pleurotus citrinopileatus, a nutritious and palatable edible mushroom, can be used as an appropriate material to prepare high-grade flavoring agents. Based on this, the current study aimed to investigate the feasibility of a productive protease system from Actinomucor elegans to prepare P. citrinopileatus hydrolysate (PCH). The Actinomucor elegans crude protease (AECP) was prepared from the solid-state fermentation product of P. citrinopileatus by A. elegans. AECP and four commercial proteases (alcalase, neutrase, papain, and protamex) were applied to acquire five kinds of PCHs. The physical-chemical properties of PCHs as well as its concentration and composition of nonvolatile compounds were comparatively analyzed. Sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis were utilized to evaluate sensory characteristics. AECP was found to be the most effective protease, with the highest hydrolysis degree (35.91%) and protein recovery (81.46%). The result of molecular weight distribution indicated that peptides below 500 Da were the main fraction of AECP hydrolysates, while AECP hydrolysates showed the highest content of monosodium glutamate-like (20.23 ± 0.16 mg/g) and flavor 5'-nucleotide (4.30 ± 0.07 mg/g) peptides. In summary, the AECP hydrolysate had superior sensory profiles compared with other hydrolysates. In addition, AECP hydrolysates exhibited favorable kokumi taste in which peptides below 500 Da showed the highest correlation with kokumi by the results of partial least-squares regression. These results indicated the feasibility of applying PCHs as flavor additives or seasoning in the food industry. AECP might be used as an alternative enzyme choice because of its low cost and high hydrolysis efficiency. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Pleurotus citrinopileatus served as a potential raw material for natural seasonings because of its high protein content and appropriate ratio of umami amino acids to total amino acids. Enzymatic hydrolysis was an efficient approach to improve the flavor of P. citrinopileatus, where the choice of enzyme was one of the most critical factors. The research indicated that P. citrinopileatus hydrolysate prepared by A. elegans crude protease (AECP) exhibited an acceptable flavor, which provided theoretical support for the high-value utilization of P. citrinopileatus as food seasoning. AECP might be applied as an alternative enzyme resource because of its low cost and high hydrolysis efficiency.

Orodispersible dosage forms, characterized as quick dissolving and swallowing without water, have recently gained great attention from the pharmaceutical industry, as these forms can satisfy the needs of children, the elderly, and patients suffering from mental illnesses. However, poor taste by thorough exposure of the drugs' dissolution in the oral cavity hinders the effectiveness of the orodispersible dosage forms. To bridge this gap, we put forward three taste-masking strategies with respect to the intensity of time, concentration, and perception. We further investigated the raw material processing, the composition of auxiliary material, formulation techniques, and process control in each strategy and drew conclusions about their effects on taste masking.

Abstract
The taste of foods is a key factor for adolescents' food choices and intakes, yet, exploring taste characteristics of adolescents' diet is limited. Using food records for 284 adolescents (10–19 years old) from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), year 9 (2016–2017), we classified diets according to taste. Tastes for each food consumed were generated from a previous survey that asked participants to allocate one main taste to each food. Responses from that survey were processed and included in a Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) to identify taste clusters. The resulting tastes were then applied to the adolescents' food records in the NDNS. For each individual, the total weight of food per day for each taste was calculated. A linear regression model was used to explore dietary intakes from each taste. Findings reveal that adolescents' daily energy intake was highest (34%) from foods that taste sweet. Sweet foods were the main calorie contributors at breakfast and daytime snacking, while energy intake from neutral-tasting foods was higher at lunch and dinner. Sweet food intake was significantly positively associated with higher energy, sugar, and fat intakes. For each percentage increase in sweet foods, energy increased by 10 kcal/d (95% CI 6, 15; P < 0.01). Savory food intake was lower in carbohydrates and sugars; with neutral food consumption inversely associated with energy, carbohydrate, sugars, saturated and total fat. Higher salty food intake was linked to higher saturated fat as well as sodium consumption. Sweet and neutral foods dominate the UK adolescent diet, followed by savory tastes. Balancing the contributions of different tasting foods could assist in improving adolescent diet quality.

Abstract
The effect of hot-air dried Lentinula edodes pileus (DLE) on the quality and organoleptic properties of rolled-dumplings was evaluated. DLE was prepared by drying at 60°C for 24 h and added (Non, 7%, and 9%) to rolled-dumplings. The proximate composition, pH, color (CIE L*, a*, b*), and cooking yield were analyzed. Texture profile analysis, electronic-nose (e-nose), electronic-tongue (e-tongue), and organoleptic evaluation were also conducted. The cooking yield of dumplings with 9% DLE was significantly lower than that of the congeners without DLE, whereas 7% DLE did not lead to significant differences compared without DLE. With increasing DLE addition, the pH and lightness of the dumplings decreased significantly, whereas the redness tended to increase. The texture profile was significantly higher for the dumplings with DLE compared to those without DLE. E-nose analysis confirmed that DLE addition led to the positive odors (methanethiol: meaty, sulfurous; 3-methylbutanal: malty, toasted) and the negative odors (trimethylamine: ammoniacal; acetic acid: acidic, sour). E-tongue analysis showed that DLE addition decreased the intensity of the sourness and increased the intensity of the saltiness and umami of rolled-dumplings. DLE addition improved the overall organoleptic properties, but 9% DLE can be recognized as a foreign substance in organoleptic acceptance. Consequently, DLE has the potential to serve as a flavor and odor enhancer for rolled-dumplings, and the addition of DLE can positively improve consumer acceptance by improving the quality and organoleptic properties.

Characterization of Peanut Protein Hydrolysate and Structural Identification of Umami-Enhancing Peptides. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092853.

Abstract
Umami peptides are naturally found in various foods and have been proven to be essential components contributing to food taste. Defatted peanut powder hydrolysate produced by a multiprotease (Flavorzyme, Alcalase, and Protamex) was found to elicit an umami taste and umami-enhancing effect. The taste profiles, hydrolysis efficiency, amino acids, molecular weight distribution, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and separation fractions obtained by ultrafiltration were evaluated. The results showed that peanut protein was extensively hydrolyzed to give mainly (up to 96.84%) free amino acids and peptides with low molecular weights (<1000 Da). Furthermore, β-sheets were the major secondary structure. Fractions of 1−3000 Da and <1000 Da prominently contributed to the umami taste and umami enhancement. To obtain umami-enhancing peptides, these two fractions were further purified by gel filtration chromatography, followed by sensory evaluation. These peptides were identified as ADSYRLP, DPLKY, EAFRVL, EFHNR, and SDLYVR by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), and had estimated thresholds of 0.107, 0.164, 0.134, 0.148, and 0.132 mmol/L, respectively. According to the results of this work, defatted peanut powder hydrolysate had an umami taste and umami-enhancing effect, and is a potential excellent umami peptide precursor material for the food industry.
