Abstract
Soy sauce is a traditional seasoning in Asia and provides a unique flavor to food. However, some harmful Maillard reaction products (MRPs) were inevitably formed during the manufacturing process. Fermentation is a critical step of soy sauce manufacturing and has a significant impact on MRPs formation. Therefore, this study investigated the formation of some characteristic MRPs (e.g., furan, carboxymethyl lysine (CML), 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), α-dicarbonyl compounds) and their correlation with major quality indicators (e.g., free amino acids, reducing sugar, total acid, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen, non-salt soluble solids) in low-salt solid-state fermentation soy sauce (LSFSS). The result showed that the levels of furan, CML, and 5-HMF continue to increase during the fermentation process, reaching a maximum after sterilization. Further testing using Person correlation showed that the formation of furan, CML, and 5-HMF in LSFSS was positively correlated with glucose, fructose, α-dicarbonyl compounds, and most of the amino acids, while it was negatively correlated with sucrose and methionine. Among them, the contribution of lysine, valine, isoleucine, leucine, and arginine to furan formation has rarely been reported. Our results provide a good theoretical basis for the control of MRPs during LSFSS fermentation.

Liu H, Chen X, Lu J, Wu D. Evaluation of the differences between low-salt solid-state fermented soy sauce and high-salt diluted-state fermented soy sauce in China: from taste-active compounds and aroma-active compounds to sensory characteristics. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:340-351. [PMID: 37574531 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.12924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/02/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The present study aimed to determine the components related to sensory properties in soy sauce and to characterize the differences between low-salt solid-state fermented soy sauce (LSFSS) and high-salt diluted-state fermented soy sauce (HDFSS). The taste and aroma active components of 18 commercially available soy sauces (eight types of LSFSS and 10 types of HDFSS) were characterized. The relationship between these compounds, soy sauce samples, and sensory properties was modeled by partial least squares regression. RESULTS The analysis showed that the 11 taste-active components, including glutamic acid, glycine, alanine, threonine, malic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, acetic acid, lactic acid, reducing sugar and salt, contributed greatly to the taste of soy sauce. In addition, umami, saltiness and sweetness are the characteristic tastes of HDFSS, whereas sourness and bitterness were the characteristic tastes of LSFSS. At the same time, seven aroma-active compounds, namely 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol, ethanol, 3-methyl-1-butanol, ethyl acetate, 2-phenethyl alcohol, 3-methyl thiopropanol and 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3-one, played a decisive role in the flavor of soy sauce. In addition, HDFSS presented the aroma attributes of smoky, alcoholic, floral, fruity and caramel-like, whereas LSFSS mainly presented sour and malty aroma attributes. CONCLUSION The present study reveals new insight into the relationship between the chemical composition and sensory characteristics of soy sauce, which is of great significance for developing an objective measurement system and providing a theoretical basis to improve the sensory quality of soy sauce. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
α-Dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs) are readily produced during the heating and storage of foods, mainly through the Maillard reaction, caramelization, lipid-peroxidation, and enzymatic reaction. They contribute to both the organoleptic properties (i.e., aroma, taste, and color) and deterioration of foods and are potential indicators of food quality. α-DCs are also important precursors to hazardous substances, such as acrylamide, furan, advanced lipoxidation end products, and advanced glycation end products, which are genotoxic, neurotoxic, and linked to several diseases. Recent studies have indicated that dietary α-DCs can elevate plasma α-DC levels and lead to "dicarbonyl stress." To accurately assess their health risks, quantifying α-DCs in food products is crucial. Considering their low volatility, inability to absorb ultraviolet light, and high reactivity, the analysis of α-DCs in complex food systems is a challenge. In this review, we comprehensively cover the development of scientific approaches, from extraction, enrichment, and derivatization, to sophisticated detection techniques, which are necessary for quantifying α-DCs in different foods. Exposure to α-DCs is inevitable because they exist in most foods. Recently, novel strategies for reducing α-DC levels in foods have become a hot research topic. These strategies include the use of new processing technologies, formula modification, and supplementation with α-DC scavengers (e.g., phenolic compounds). For each strategy, it is important to consider the potential mechanisms underlying the formation and removal of process contaminants. Future studies are needed to develop techniques to control α-DC formation during food processing, and standardized approaches are needed to quantify and compare α-DCs in different foods.

Abstract
In this study, an analytical method for the determination of α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), including glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO) and diacetyl (DA), in soy sauce was validated using gas chromatography-nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Through Maillard reaction various α-DCs, including GO, MGO and DA have been found in fermented food, dairy products and beverages. The analysis of α-DC was carried out by a derivatisation with o-phenylenediamine. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.04 and 0.12 μg/kg for GO, 0.04 and 0.13 μg/kg for MGO, and 0.07 and 0.22 μg/kg for DA. The intra- and inter-day accuracy ranged from 92.8 to 109% for GO, from 99.5 to 113% for MGO and from 93.6 to 102% for DA. The intra- and inter-day precision ranged from 3.38 to 12.1% for GO, from 0.67 to 7.65% for MGO and from 1.27 to 9.35% for DA. In 20 commercial soy sauces, α-DCs were found in concentration ranges of 5.60-31.7 μg/mL for GO, 14.4-116 μg/mL for MGO and 0.47-5.48 μg/mL for DA. The developed analytical method could be applied for the determination of α-DCs in soy sauce and motivate investigations related to reducing the content of α-DCs in soy sauce.

Abstract
This study investigated the correlations of α-dicarbonyl compounds (α-DCs), including glyoxal (GO), methylglyoxal (MGO) and diacetyl (DA), formed in coffee prepared under various roasting and brewing methods. The levels of α-DCs in Brazilian coffee beans (Coffea arabica) ranged from 28.3 to 178 μg/mL. Concentration ranges of GO, MGO and DA were 1.31-6.57, 25.5-159 and 1.50-12.9 μg/mL, respectively. The level of α-DCs increased with high roasting temperature, long roasting time, small coffee bean particles, mineral water and espresso brewing. In correlation analysis, the roasting temperature-time showed strong negative correlations with α-DCs in espresso (-0.886) and cold-brew coffee (-0.957). In espresso coffee, there was a strong negative correlation between the α-DCs and coffee bean particle size (-0.918).
