Cheng T, Zhang T, Zhang P, He X, Sadiq FA, Li J, Sang Y, Gao J. The complex world of kefir: Structural insights and symbiotic relationships. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13364.

Abstract
Kefir milk, known for its high nutritional value and health benefits, is traditionally produced by fermenting milk with kefir grains. These grains are a complex symbiotic community of lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, yeasts, and other microorganisms. However, the intricate coexistence mechanisms within these microbial colonies remain a mystery, posing challenges in predicting their biological and functional traits. This uncertainty often leads to variability in kefir milk's quality and safety. This review delves into the unique structural characteristics of kefir grains, particularly their distinctive hollow structure. We propose hypotheses on their formation, which appears to be influenced by the aggregation behaviors of the community members and their alliances. In kefir milk, a systematic colonization process is driven by metabolite release, orchestrating the spatiotemporal rearrangement of ecological niches. We place special emphasis on the dynamic spatiotemporal changes within the kefir microbial community. Spatially, we observe variations in species morphology and distribution across different locations within the grain structure. Temporally, the review highlights the succession patterns of the microbial community, shedding light on their evolving interactions.Furthermore, we explore the ecological mechanisms underpinning the formation of a stable community composition. The interplay of cooperative and competitive species within these microorganisms ensures a dynamic balance, contributing to the community's richness and stability. In kefir community, competitive species foster diversity and stability, whereas cooperative species bolster mutualistic symbiosis. By deepening our understanding of the behaviors of these complex microbial communities, we can pave the way for future advancements in the development and diversification of starter cultures for food fermentation processes.

[PMID: 38840807 PMCID: PMC11150910 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100772] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2023] [Revised: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/07/2024] Open
Abstract
The aroma types of cream cheese affect its commercial value and consumer acceptability. However, the types of volatile substances and sensory characteristics of cream cheese at different fermentation stages are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) were used to analyze the volatile substances in cream cheese fermentation. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), odor activity value (OAV), relative odor activity value (ROAV) and variable projection importance (VIP) were used to identify the characteristic flavor substances in cream cheese fermentation. Finally, the relationship between key flavor substances and sensory characteristics was determined by partial least squares (PLS) analysis. A total of 34 and 36 volatile organic compounds were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-MS, respectively, and 14 characteristic flavor substances were found, based on VIP, ROAV and OAV models. Combined with sensory analysis and flavor substance changes, it was found that the cream cheese fermented for 15 d had the best flavor and taste. This study reveals the characteristics and contribution of volatile substances in cream cheese at different fermentation stages, which provides new insights into improving flavor and quality control.

Abstract
Traditional sensory evaluation, relying on human assessors, is vulnerable to subjective error and lacks automation. Nonetheless, the complexity of human sensation makes it challenging to develop a computational method in place of human sensory evaluation. To tackle this challenge, this study constructed logistic regression classification models that could predict yogurt aroma types based on aroma-active compound concentrations with high classification accuracy (AUC ROC > 0.8). Furthermore, indicator compounds discovered from feature importance analysis of classification models led to the derivation of classification criteria of yogurt aroma types. Through constructing and analyzing machine learning models on yogurt aroma types, this study provides an automated pipeline to monitor sensory properties of yogurts.

Abstract
GC × GC-ToF-MS is increasingly used to analyze complex food flavors due to its high resolution and sensitivity, but few studies have used the method to identify aroma components of bread. For the first time, this study combines GC × GC-ToF-MS and multivariate statistical methods to explore the effects of L. paracasei fermentation on bread flavor characteristics. A total of 1534 volatile organic compounds were identified, of which 447 were obtained by metabolome normalization. Based on the variable importance for the projection and p values, 82 different compounds were screened in L. paracasei bread compared with yeast bread, and the total relative content was 1.52 times higher than that of yeast bread. 2-Furancarboxaldehyde, 5-methyl-, pentanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-4-methyl-, ethyl ester, pyrazine, 2,5-dimethyl- and γ-terpinene are aroma-presenting substances specific to L. paracasei bread that could be potential identification compounds. This study provides a new techno-theoretical approach for the characterization and discrimination of LAB bread flavors.

Abstract
Milk authentication requires identification of the origin and assessment of the aroma characteristics. In this study, we analyzed 24 raw milk samples from different regions of China by profiling volatile flavors using headspace solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry, and intelligent sensory technology (E-tongue and E-nose). The flavor of raw milk in Southern and Northern China had evident differences based on the intelligent sensory technology. However, the differences among the samples from the northeast, northwest, and central regions were not significant. Correlations between milk origin and volatile compounds based on variable importance prediction > 1 and principal component analysis results revealed differential compounds including pyridine, nonanal, dodecane, furfural, 1-decene, octanoic acid, and 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene. Our study findings provided a deeper understanding of the geographical differences in raw milk volatile compounds in China.

Abstract
Aroma is an important sensory factor in evaluating the quality of pear fruits. This study used headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of three crispy pears and five soft pears during shelf life, and the changes in soluble solids content (SSC) were analyzed. The results showed that the SSC of the soft pears such as Nanguoli, Jingbaili and Louis was always higher than that of the crispy pears throughout shelf life. A total of 160 VOCs were detected in the eight pear varieties. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) combined with predictor variable importance projection (VIP) showed that the eight pear varieties could be obviously classified into six groups according to the differences in their VOCs, and 31 differential VOCs were screened out, which could be used to differentiate between pears with different flesh textures. The results of clustering heat map analysis showed that, with the extension of shelf life, the content of each different VOC did not change much in crispy pears, whereas the difference in soft pears was larger. This study confirmed the potential of determining the optimal shelf life of different pear varieties about aroma evaluation and studying the mechanism of differences in VOCs in the future.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2023; 415:6091-6106.

Abstract
The evaluation of aroma properties of beverages, both analytically as well as with human sensory studies, is a challenging task and most often related to time- and cost-intensive analyses. Whisky is a spirit offering a wide variety of aroma impressions caused by a complex mixture of aroma active compounds. In the present study, methods for the efficient evaluation of aroma characteristics are evaluated for 16 whisky samples of different origins (Scotch and American). Rate all that apply (RATA) was applied as a rapid method for the sensory evaluation of whiskies. Sensory evaluation of the samples led to the determination of eight significant aroma attributes: caramel-/cream caramel-/toffee-like, vanilla-like, (canned) peach-like, phenolic, smoky, fruity, flowery and (fermented) apple-/cider-like. Chemical analysis was conducted by stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in combination with an in-house data processing tool for semi-automated analyte detection. Through chemical analysis of the whisky samples and automated compound detection, we report over 200 mostly aroma-active volatiles. To test both approaches for their potential for sample classification, a simple classification problem (Scotch vs. American) was applied. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) indicates both that sensory evaluation by RATA (97.86%) and the applied analytical procedure (96.94%) are suitable for the distinction between the two whisky types. In both approaches, potential markers were determined for the classification. These investigations build a solid foundation for the implementation of a versatile platform facilitating rapid and efficient aroma evaluation in various foodstuffs and beverages.

Abstract
Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) was used to investigate the differences in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in four different varieties of Yunnan Huang Tian Ma (containing both winter and spring harvesting times), Yunnan Hong Tian Ma, Yunnan Wu Tian Ma, and Yunnan Lv Tian Ma. The results showed that the flavor substances of different varieties and different harvesting times of Rhizoma gastrodiae were mainly composed of aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, heterocycles, esters, acids, alkenes, hydrocarbons, amines, phenols, ethers, and nitrile. Among them, the contents of the aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and heterocyclic compounds are significantly higher than those of other substances. The results of cluster analysis and fingerprint similarity analysis based on principal component analysis and Euclidean distance showed that there were some differences between different varieties of Yunnan Rhizoma gastrodiae and different harvesting times. Among them, Yunnan Lv Tian Ma and Wu Tian Ma contained the richest volatile components. Winter may be the best harvesting season for Tian Ma. At the same time, we speculate that the special odor contained in Tian Ma should be related to the aldehydes it is rich in, especially benzene acetaldehyde, Benzaldehyde, Heptanal, Hexanal, Pentanal, and butanal, which are aldehydes that contain a strong and special odor and are formed by the combination of these aldehydes.

Abstract
Headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to compare the differences in volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of Rhizoma gastrodiae (Tian Ma) from six different origins in Yunnan, Sichuan, Shaanxi, Anhui, Hubei, and Guizhou. A total of 161 signal peaks were identified, and 84 compounds were characterized, including 23 aldehydes, 19 alcohols, 12 ketones, 8 heterocyclic compounds, 7 esters, 4 phenols, 4 acids, 4 ethers, 2 amines, and 1 alkane. The results of cluster analysis and fingerprint similarity analysis based on principal component analysis and Euclidean distance indicated that there were significant differences between the volatile components of Rhizoma gastrodiae from different origins. This study demonstrated that HS-GC-IMS is simple, rapid, accurate, and has a small sample size and can achieve rapid analysis of the differences in volatile compounds between samples of different origins of Rhizoma gastrodiae.

Abstract
Lipolysis and flavor development during fermentation of sour cream were studied by evaluating the physicochemical changes, sensory differences and volatile components. The fermentation caused significant changes in pH, viable count and sensory evaluation. The peroxide value (POV) decreased after reaching the maximum value of 1.07 meq/kg at 15 h, while thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) increased continuously with the accumulation of secondary oxidation products. The Free fatty acids (FFAs) in sour cream were mainly myristic, palmitic and stearic. GC-IMS was used to identify the flavor properties. A total of 31 volatile compounds were identified, among which the contents of characteristic aromatic substances such as ethyl acetate, 1-octen-3-one and hexanoic acid were increased. The results suggest that lipid changes and flavor formation in sour cream are influenced by fermentation time. Furthermore, flavor compounds may be related to lipolysis such as 1-octen-3-one and 2- heptanol were also observed.

Abstract
Texture and flavour are the key attributes determining sensory quality and are highly affected by starter cultures. A selection of phenotypic strains is needed to create diverse texture and flavour to meet consumers' preferences. In this study, the use of five lactic acid bacteria strains in the production of fermented milk, along with the metabolite profiles, microstructure, and rheological properties of the fermented milk samples, was investigated. Our results showed that Lactobacillus helveticus (LH) and Streptococcus thermophilus (ST) had a stronger acidification during fermentation but resulted in products with a coarser protein network compared to Lactococcus lactis (BL1) and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (CL3). Milk fermented by LH had the highest viscosity and exopolysaccharide concentration, while milk fermented by ST had the highest concentration of diacetyl. Although Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (CL3ST) had a minimal acidification capability, it produced high levels of ethyl-derived compounds associated with sweet, fruity, and floral fragrances. The results demonstrated that LH and ST could be used as starter cultures targeting fermented milks with different viscosities, while BL1, CL3, and CL3ST are suitable as adjunct cultures to impact different acidic sharpness and flavour notes.

Analysis of the Volatile Flavor Compounds of Pomegranate Seeds at Different Processing Temperatures by GC-IMS. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28062717. [PMID: 36985689 PMCID: PMC10052118 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28062717] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2023] [Revised: 03/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023] Open
Abstract
This study sought to reveal the mechanism of flavor generation when pomegranate seeds are processed, as well as the contribution of volatile organic components (VOCs) to flavor formation. Gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), combined with relative odor activity (ROAV) and statistical methods, was used for the analysis. The results showed that 54 compounds were identified from 70 peaks that appeared in the GC-IMS spectrum. Then, the ROAV results showed 17 key volatile components in processing pomegranate seeds, and 7 flavor components with large differential contributions were screened out using statistical methods. These included γ-butyrolactone, (E)-3-penten-2-one (dimer), pentanal, 1-propanethiol, octanal, and ethyl valerate (monomer). It is suggested that lipid oxidation and the Maillard reaction may be the main mechanisms of flavor formation during the processing of pomegranate seeds. Furthermore, this study lays the experimental and theoretical foundations for further research on the development of flavor products from pomegranate seeds.

Abstract
Citrus reticulatae pericarpium (CRP) is regarded as a valuable functional food in many countries due to its pharmacological activities and unique aroma. In this study, CRP was treated by different A. niger to accelerate aging. Headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) fingerprinting was adopted to rapidly and comprehensively evaluate the flavor compounds of CRP and to identify their dynamic changes at different storage time. Results revealed that the hesperidin content of DOL groups reduced more clearly than other groups during storage. A total of 134 volatile flavor compounds were identified. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) showed that the lemon, sweet with the musk aroma of CRP, changed to apple, pineapple, and coffee odors during storage. The principal component analysis (PCA) and fingerprint similarity analysis (FSA) results showed that the CRP was clearly distinguished at different storage time. DOL-3 and DOS-6 differ the most from the DOW-3,6, respectively. This work provided helpful information for accelerating the aging of CRP and has great potential for industrial application.

Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052123.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are industrially important bacteria that are widely used in the fermented food industry, especially in the manufacture of yogurt. The fermentation characteristics of LAB are an important factor affecting the physicochemical properties of yogurts. Here, different ratios of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus IMAU20312 and S. thermophilus IMAU80809 were compared with a commercial starter JD (control) for their effects on viable cell counts, pH values, titratable acidity (TA), viscosity and water holding capacity (WHC) of milk during fermentation. Sensory evaluation and flavour profiles were also determined at the end of fermentation. All samples had a viable cell count above 5.59 × 107 CFU/mL at the end of fermentation, and a significant increase in TA and decrease in pH were observed. Viscosity, WHC and the sensory evaluation results of one treatment ratio (A3) were closer to the commercial starter control than the others. A total of 63 volatile flavour compounds and 10 odour-active (OAVs) compounds were detected in all treatment ratios and the control according to the results from solid-phase micro-extraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). Principal components analysis (PCA) also indicated that the flavour characteristics of the A3 treatment ratio were closer to the control. These results help us understand how the fermentation characteristics of yogurts are affected by the ratio of L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus to S. thermophilus in starter cultures; this is useful for the development of value-added fermented dairy products.

Insight into the Characterization of Volatile Compounds in Smoke-Flavored Sea Bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) during Processing via HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS. Foods 2022; 11:foods11172614.

Abstract
The present study aimed to ascertain how the volatile compounds changed throughout various processing steps when producing a smoke-flavored sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus). The volatile compounds in different production steps were characterized by headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS). A total of 85 compounds were identified, and 25 compounds that may be considered as potential key compounds were screened by principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). Results indicated that aldehydes were the major volatile compounds throughout the processing. The characteristic volatile compound in fresh samples was hexanol, and curing was an effective method to remove the fishy flavor. The concentration of volatile compounds was significantly higher in dried, smoked, and heated samples than in fresh and salted samples. Aldehydes accumulated because of the drying process, especially heptanal and hexanal. Smoke flavoring was an important stage in imparting smoked flavor, where phenols, furans and ketones were enriched, and heating leads to the breakdown of aldehydes and alcohols. This study will provide a theoretical basis for improving the quality of smoke-flavored sea bass products in the future.

Abstract
The International Olive Council (IOC) established that olives must be free of odors, off-flavors, and absent of abnormal ongoing alterations or fermentations. The use of electronic devices could help when classifying defects in a fast, non-destructive, cheap, and environmentally friendly way. For all of that, table olives were evaluated according to IOC regulation in order to classify the defect predominant perceiving (DPP) of the table olives and their intensity. Abnormal fermentation defects of Spanish-style table olives were assessed previously by an IOC-validated tasting panel. 'Zapateria', 'Putrid', and 'Butyric' were the defects found at different concentrations. Different volatile compounds were identified by gas chromatography in altered table olives. The same samples were measured with an electronic nose device (E-nose). E-nose data combined with chemometrics algorithms, such as PCA and PLS-DA, were able to successfully discriminate between healthy and non-healthy table olives, being this last one also separated between the first and second categories. Volatile compounds obtained with gas chromatography could be related to the E-nose measuring and sensory analysis, being capable of matching the different defects with their correspondents' volatile compounds.
