[PMID: 38218154 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.138396] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 12/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2024] [Indexed: 01/15/2024]
Abstract
To investigate the mechanism of flavor formation during the traditional preparation Cantonese soy sauce koji (TP), the changes of microorganisms, physicochemical properties, and flavor compounds in TP were comprehensively and dynamically monitored by absolute quantitative methods. Results demonstrated that inoculating Aspergillus oryzae 3.042 in TP was crucial role in enhancing enzyme activity properties. Absolute quantification of flavor combined with multivariate statistical analysis yielded 5 organic acids, 15 amino acids, and 2 volatiles as significantly different flavors of TP. Amplicon sequencing and RT-qPCR revealed that the dominant genera were Staphylococcus, Weissella, Enterobacter, Lactic streptococci, Lactobacillus, and Aspergillus, which exhibited a increasing trend in TP. Correlation analysis exhibited that Staphylococcus and Aspergillus were the pivotal genera contributing to the enzyme activities and flavor of TP. The flavor formation network involved lipid and protein degradation, carbohydrate metabolism and other pathways. Simultaneously, TP can appropriately increase the fermentation time to improve product quality.

Abstract
Broad bean paste is a popular condiment in Asian countries. Leaves of Vitex negundo Linn. were used extensively in China during the koji-making of broad bean paste. Spreading V. negundo leaves on raw broad beans during fermentation was able to facilitate the rapid growth of fungi to form mature koji. We isolated two strains of fungi from mature koji, and four strains of bacteria from the rotten broad beans resulting from a failed attempt. According to microbial activity assays, two polymethoxylated flavones, 5-hydroxy-3,6,7,8,3',4'-hexamethoxy flavone (HJ-1) and 5,4'-dihydroxy-3,6,7,8,3'-pentamethoxy flavone (HJ-2) were isolated from V. negundo leaves, and the fungal growth promotion and inhibition of bacterial growth of these two compounds were found to improve the production of broad bean koji. This study reveals the compounds present in V. negundo leaves with bioactivity against important microbes in koji manufacture, and provides a theoretical basis for the application of V. negundo in broad bean paste production.

Abstract
Pixian broad bean paste is a renowned fermented seasoning. The fermentation of broad bean is the most important process of Pixian broad bean paste. To enhance the flavor of tank-fermented broad bean paste, salt-tolerant Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain was inoculated, resulting in an increase in total amount of volatile compounds, potentially leading to different flavor characteristics. To investigate the fermentation mechanism, monoculture simulated fermentation systems were designed. Metabolomics and transcriptomics were used to explore Bacillus amyloliquefaciens' transcriptional response to salt stress and potential aroma production mechanisms. The results highlighted different metabolite profiles under salt stress, and the crucial roles of energy metabolism, amino acid metabolism, reaction system, transportation system in Bacillus amyloliquefaciens' hypersaline stress response. This study provides a scientific basis for the industrial application of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and new insights into addressing the challenges of poor flavor quality in tank fermentation products.

Abstract
Chili bean paste is a traditional flavor sauce, and its flavor compounds are closely related to its microflora. This study focused on investigating the content of bioactive compounds, flavor compounds, and microbial communities during the post-ripening fermentation of chili bean paste, aiming to provide a reference for improving the flavor of chili bean paste by regulating microorganisms. Compared to no post-ripening fermentation, the content of organic acids increased significantly (p < 0.05), especially that of citric acid (1.51 times). Glutamic acid (Glu) was the most abundant of the 17 free amino acids at 4.0 mg/g. The aroma profiles of the samples were significantly influenced by fifteen of the analyzed volatile compounds, especially methyl salicylate, methyl caproate, and 2-octanol (ROAV > 1). Latilactobacillus (27.45%) and Pseudomonas (9.01%) were the dominant bacterial genera, and Starmerella (32.95%) and Pichia (17.01%) were the dominant fungal genera. Weissella, Lacticaseibacillus, Pichia, and Kazachstania had positive effects on volatile flavoring compounds, which enriched the texture and flavor of the chili bean paste. Therefore, the microbial-community activity during the post-ripening fermentation is the key to enhance the flavor quality of the product.

Abstract
In this study, in silico analysis and peptidomics were performed to examine the generation mechanism of the umami taste of fermented broad bean paste (FBBP). Based on the information from peptidomics, a total of 470 free peptides were identified from FBBP, most of which were increased after fermentation. Additionally, the increase of the content of umami peptides, organic acids, and amino acids during fermentation contributed to the perception of umami taste in FBBP. Molecule docking results inferred that these umami molecules were easy to connect with Ser, Glu, His, and Gln in the T1R3 subunit through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction force. The binding sites His145, Gln389, and Glu301 particularly contributed to the formation of the ligand-receptor complexes. The aromatic interaction, hydrogen bond, hydrophilicity, and solvent-accessible surface (SAS) played key roles in the receptor-peptide interaction. Sensory evaluation and electronic tongue results showed that EDEDE, DLSESV, SNGDDE, DETL, CDLSD, and TDEE screened from FBBP had umami characteristics and umami-enhancing effects (umami threshold values ranging from 0.131 to 0.394 mmol/L). This work provides new insight into the rapid and efficient screening of novel umami peptides and a deeper understanding of the taste mechanisms of umami molecules from FBBP.

Abstract
Based on the widespread application and under-research of mechanized preparation Cantonese soy sauce koji (MP), absolute quantitative approaches were utilized to systematically analyze the flavor formation mechanism in MP. The results indicated that the enzyme activities increased greatly during MP fermentation, and 4 organic acids, 15 amino acids, and 2 volatiles were identified as significantly different flavor actives. The flavor parameters of MP4 were basically identical to those of MP5. Furthermore, microorganisms were dominated by Staphylococcus, Weissella, and Aspergillus in MP, and their biomass demonstrated an increasing trend. A precise enumeration of microorganisms exposed the inaccuracy of relative quantitative data. Concurrently, Staphylococcus and Aspergillus were positively correlated with numerous enzymes and flavor compounds, and targeted strains for enhancing MP quality. The flavor formation network comprises pathways including carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism and oxidation, and protein degradation and amino acid metabolism. In summary, the fermentation period of MP can be substantially shortened without compromising the product quality. These findings lay the groundwork for refining parameters in modern production processes.

Abstract
To elucidate the significant influence of microorganisms on geographically dependent flavor formation by analyzing microbial communities and volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) in cigar tobacco leaves (CTLs) obtained from China, Dominica, and Indonesia. Microbiome analysis revealed that the predominant bacteria in CTLs were Staphylococcus, Aerococcus, Pseudomonas, and Lactobacillus, while the predominant fungi were Aspergillus, Wallemia, and Sampaiozyma. The microbial communities of CTLs from different origins differed to some extent, and the diversity and abundance of bacteria were greater than fungi. Metabolomic analysis revealed that 64 VFCs were identified, mainly ketones, of which 23 VFCs could be utilized to identify the geographical origins of CTLs. Sixteen VFCs with OAV greater than 1, including cedrol, phenylacetaldehyde, damascone, beta-damascone, and beta-ionone, play important roles in shaping the flavor profile of CTLs from different origins. Combined with the correlation analysis, bacterial microorganisms were more closely related to key VFCs and favored a positive correlation. Bacillus, Vibrio, and Sphingomonas were the main flavor-related bacteria. The study demonstrated that the predominant microorganisms were essential for the formation of key flavor qualities in CTLs, which provided a theoretical reference for flavor control of CTLs by microbial technology. KEY POINTS: • It is the high OAV VFCs that determine the flavor profile of CTLs. • The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway and the carotenoid synthesis pathway are key metabolic pathways for the formation of VFCs in CTLs. • Microbial interactions influence tobacco flavor, with bacterial microorganisms contributing more to the flavor formation of CTLs.

Abstract
Wuhan stinky sufu is a traditional fermented soybean product with a short ripening period and unique flavor. The aim of this study was to explore the characteristic flavor compounds and core functional microbiota of naturally fermented Wuhan stinky sufu. The results indicated that 11 volatile compounds including guaiacol, 2-pentylfuran, dimethyl trisulfide, dimethyl disulfide, acetoin, 1-octen-3-ol, (2E)-2-nonenal, indole, propyl 2-methylbutyrate, ethyl 4-methylvalerate, nonanal were characteristic aroma compounds, and 6 free amino acids (Ser, Lys, Arg, Glu, Met and Pro) were identified as taste-contributing compounds. 4 fungal genera (Kodamaea, unclassified_Dipodascaceae, Geotrichum, Trichosporon), and 9 bacterial genera (Lysinibacillus, Enterococcus, Acidipropionibacterium, Bifidobacterium, Corynebacterium, Lactococcus, Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, and Acinetobacter) were identified as the core functional microbiota with positive effects on the production of flavor compounds. These findings would enhance the understanding of core flavor-producing microorganisms in naturally fermented soybean products and potentially provide guidance for enhancing the quality of sufu.

Abstract
Zao Chili (ZC) is a traditional fermented pepper, which plays an important role in Chinese cooking. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of Lactipllantbacillus plantarum 5-1 on the physicochemical properties, metabolite and microbiota profiling of ZC. The physicochemical factors changed regularly with the fermentation time. In the microbial communities, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Enterobacter, Gibberella, Fusarium, Zygosaccharomyces and Pichia were the dominant genera. 7 kinds of organic acids were detected in the whole fermentation process of ZC, but only 5 kinds changed significantly. Based on the OPLS-DA model with VIP > 1 and ANOVA with P < 0.05, 33 volatile flavor compounds with significant differences were screened out of 89. According to the redundancy analysis (RDA), fungi mainly contributed to soluble solids, while bacteria mainly contributed to pH. Lactobacillus, Weissella, Enterbacter and Zygosaccharomyces may be the potential flavor contributing microorganisms in the fermentation process of ZC by the Spearman correlation coefficient. A total of 11 main metabolic pathways were obtained by KEGG enrichment analysis of 89 volatile flavor compounds and 7 organic acids. Therefore, this study further enhanced our understanding of the flavor quality formation mechanism of Lactipllantbacillus plantarum in ZC, and providing a theoretical basis for improving the flavor quality of ZC.

Abstract
With the advancement of industrialization, tank fermentation technology is promising for Pixian broad bean paste. This study identified and analyzed the general physicochemical factors and volatile metabolites of fermented broad beans in a thermostatic fermenter. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME)-two-dimensional gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC × GC-MS) was applied to detect the volatile compounds in fermented broad beans, while metabolomics was used to explore their physicochemical characteristics and analyze the possible metabolic mechanism. A total of 184 different metabolites were detected, including 36 alcohols, 29 aldehydes, 26 esters, 21 ketones, 14 acids, 14 aromatic compounds, ten heterocycles, nine phenols, nine organonitrogen compounds, seven hydrocarbons, two ethers, and seven other types, which were annotated to various branch metabolic pathways of carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. This study provides references for subsequent functional microorganism mining to improve the quality of the tank-fermented broad beans and upgrade the Pixian broad bean paste industry.

Abstract
The study investigated the changes of nucleotides, succinic acid, and free amino acids amounts in yolk and the causes leading to the changes after pickling to uncover the fundamental umami component of preserved egg yolk. The findings demonstrated that while the contents of 5′-adenosine monophosphate (AMP), 5′-cytidine monophosphate (CMP), 5′-guanosine monophosphate (GMP), 5′-uridine monophosphate (UMP), and succinic acid increased after slightly decreasing aspartic acid (Asp) content in preserved egg yolk increased gradually. The contents of 5′-inosine monophosphate (IMP) and other free amino acids were gradually decreased. Comparing the taste activity value (TAV), it was found that the single umami substance, succinic acid, played a key role in inducing the umami taste. In combination with the Spearman correlation analysis, it was shown that the proteinaceous substance, which is the most significant umami component in preserved egg yolk, tended to condense first and subsequently disintegrate in an alkaline environment. The orthogonal partial least squares analysis (OPLS) found that pH was also affected by the changes in proteinaceous substance. These findings offer suggestions for enhancing the pickling procedure and investigating the optimal pickling period for preserved eggs.

Effects of microbial community structure and its co-occurrence on the dynamic changes of physicochemical properties and free amino acids in the Cantonese soy sauce fermentation process. Food Res Int 2022; 156:111347. [PMID: 35650976 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.111347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/03/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
The soy sauce produced by Cantonese fermentation has a unique flavor, among which brine fermentation plays an important role. In this fermentation process, 61 volatile compounds, including 19 esters, 10 aldehydes, 9 alcohols, 5 phenols, and 18 others, were identified by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Seventeen kinds of free amino acids were detected by high-performance liquid chromatography. Results showed that Touyou, which comprised 1.5 g/100 g total nitrogen, 1.0 g/100 mL amino acid nitrogen, 3.66 g/100 g reducing sugar, 1.44 g/100 mL total acid, 17.04 g/100 mL salt content, and 27.3% umami free amino acids, had excellent quality. High-throughput sequencing was used to identify microorganisms. The top 3 of bacteria were Weissella, Staphylococcus, and Lactobacillus, and the top 3 fungi were Aspergillus, Zygosaccharomyces, and Candida. The co-occurrence network analysis of microorganisms showed that the top-ranked microorganisms were Plectosphaerella, Aureobasidium, unidentified_Mortierellales_sp, Glutinomyces, Faecalibacterium, and Cladophialophora. Then, eight microorganisms (VIP[pred] > 1) were obtained by two-way orthogonal partial least squares model, namely, Staphylococcus, Candida, Weissella, Aspergillus, Zygosaccharomyces, Lactobacillus, Monilinia, and Clavispora. Correlation analysis showed that these microorganisms were strongly related to flavor metabolites. This study explored the dynamics of traditional Cantonese fermentation, which has positive implications for optimizing this traditional fermentation process.

Abstract
A closed system of gradient steady-state temperature field (GSTF) was constructed to ferment Pixian broad bean paste (PBP). The contents of physicochemical factors and organic acids in the fermentation under GSTF (FG) were closer to those in the traditional fermentation (TF). The taste intensities of 8 free amino acids in the FG were higher than those in the constant temperature fermentation (CTF), but 14 in the TF showed the highest among the processes of FG, CTF and TF. The FG product had the most volatiles with 87, and its flavor properties were more stable. The FG produced great effects on the microbe evolutions especially improved the fungal diversity. Bacillus were identified as the core microbes in the FG while the roles of Staphylococcus, Lactobacillus and Pantoea were strengthened. The results indicated that the fermentation characteristics in the FG had been further improved compared with the CTF.
