Lee S, Choe J, Kang M, Kang M, Kim S, Oh S. Evaluating the Potential of Korean Mudflat-Derived Penicillium nalgiovense SJ02 as a Fungal Starter for Manufacturing Fermented Sausage. Food Sci Anim Resour 2024; 44:912-933. [PMID: 38974723 PMCID: PMC11222695 DOI: 10.5851/kosfa.2024.e30] [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: 03/02/2024] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 07/09/2024] Open
Abstract
The objective of this study was to isolate, identify, and evaluate novel Korean starter cultures for use in fermented sausages. A total of 72 strains were isolated from various indigenous sources, including Nuruk, Jeotgal, and mudflats on the west coast of South Korea. Two strains were identified as Penicillium nalgiovense (SD01 and SJ02), a traditional starter used in the production of fermented sausages. A comparative analysis was performed between SD01 and SJ02 using the commercial starter culture (M600). Strain SJ02 exhibited superior lipolytic and proteolytic activities, as well as an enhanced growth rate at the optimal salinity level of 2% NaCl compared to M600. No significant differences were observed in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances values, sausage colors, and texture properties between SJ02 and M600 fermented sausages, except for adhesiveness. Profiles of mycotoxin-related genes were similar for both strains. Electronic nose analysis revealed distinct aroma profiles between SJ02 and M600 fermented sausages, with a relatively higher levels of propan-2-one and butyl butanoate in SJ02, and a higher level of ethanol and propanal in M600. In electronic tongue analysis, there was no significant differences in taste characteristics between SJ02 and M600. These results indicate that P. nalgiovense SJ02 is a potential starter culture to produce dry fermented sausages, enhancing Korean style cured meat processing industry.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion is a growing technology to manage organic waste and produce bioenergy. To promote this technology, it is essential to know, at the molecular level, the dynamics of microbial communities, specifically the methanogenic community. In the present study, three primer pairs were selected from seven primer pairs which were designed and tested with different concentrations and conditions to detect Methanosarcina, Methanoculleus and Methanobacterium by real-time PCR based on the SYBR Green System. The functionality of the developed methods was demonstrated by the high linear relationship of the standard curves, and the specificity of each primer was empirically verified by testing DNA isolated from methane-producing and non-producing strains. These assays also exhibited good repeatability and reproducibility, which indicates the robustness of the methods. The described primers were successfully used to investigate the methanogenic communities of 10 samples from an anaerobic co-digestion. The genus Methanosarcina was the dominant methanogenic group.

Abstract
Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a major concern in fruit juice industry due to its spoilage potential of acidic fruit juice. Quantifying the expression levels of functional genes by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is necessary to elucidate the response mechanisms of A. acidoterrestris to acid stress. However, appropriate reference genes (RGs) for data normalization are required to obtain reliable RT-qPCR results. In this study, eight novel candidate RGs were screened based on transcriptome datasets of A. acidoterrestris under acid stress. The expression stability of eight new RGs and commonly used RG 16s rRNA was assessed using geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper algorithms. Moreover, the comprehensive analysis using the RefFinder program and the validation using target gene ctsR showed that dnaG and dnaN were the optimal multiple RGs for normalization at pH 4.0; ytvI, dnaG, and 16s rRNA at pH 3.5; icd and dnaG at pH 3.0; and ytvI, dnaG, and spoVE at pH 2.5. This study revealed for the first time that A. acidoterrestris had different suitable RGs under different acid conditions, with implications for further deciphering the acid response mechanisms of this spoilage-causing bacterium.

[PMID: 33360159 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2020.109016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/15/2020] [Revised: 11/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Dry-fermented sausages are prone to be colonised by Penicillium nordicum, which is one of the main ochratoxin A (OTA)-producing species. Its ability to produce this mycotoxin on dry-fermented sausages has been reported. However, the influence of the conditions of a traditional processing of a Spanish dry-fermented sausage and the intrinsic physicochemical parameters of this product such as water activity (aw) and pH on OTA production has not been studied yet. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of traditional processing (interaction of relative humidity (RH) x temperature x ripening days) on the evolution of pH and aw during maturation of dry-fermented sausage "salchichón" and its relationship with OTA synthesis by P. nordicum. The expression of otapks and otanps genes, both involved in the biosynthesis of the mycotoxin, was also assessed. For this, 27 raw sausages were inoculated with P. nordicum and ripened for 26 days in a drying chamber (3 days at 5 °C and 84% RH, 17 days at 12 °C and 84% RH, and 6 days at 12 °C and 80% RH). From results, although it seems that the pH slightly influenced on OTA biosynthesis, the aw had a great impact on this mycotoxin production. In fact, the two highest OTA concentrations found coincided with a dramatic rise of the aw value (0.92 aw) by day 18 of incubation when the RH of the drying chamber was still 84% and at the end of the incubation time when the aw decreased noticeably (0.87 aw). The expression of the otapks and otanps genes correlated with the OTA produced by P. nordicum. Results from this work confirm that the traditional processing of Spanish dry-fermented sausages favours itself OTA synthesis by P. nordicum. Our findings may help in informed decision-making in relation to RH/temperature of drying chambers and shortening of the ripening process. This may be then effectively incorporated into the hygienic production system in the framework of HACCP together with other measures including the use of Penicillium nalgiovense as protective culture or the monitoring of otapks gene expression, and aw during the processing of dry-fermented sausages. All these strategies together may put ochratoxigenic Penicillia at a disadvantage and minimise OTA contamination risks in dry-fermented sausages.

Efficacy of the Combined Protective Cultures of Penicillium chrysogenum and Debaryomyces hansenii for the Control of Ochratoxin A Hazards in Dry-Cured Ham. Toxins (Basel) 2019; 11:E710.

Abstract
The ecological conditions during the ripening of dry-cured ham favour the development of moulds on its surface, being frequently the presence of Penicillium nordicum, a producer of ochratoxin A (OTA). Biocontrol using moulds and yeasts usually found in dry-cured ham is a promising strategy to minimize this hazard. The aim of this work is to evaluate the effect of previously selected Debaryomyces hansenii and Penicillium chrysogenum strains on growth, OTA production, and relative expression of genes involved in the OTA biosynthesis by P. nordicum. P. nordicum was inoculated against the protective cultures individually and combined on dry-cured ham for 21 days at 20 °C. None of the treatments reduced the growth of P. nordicum, but all of them decreased OTA concentration. The lower production of OTA could be related to significant repression of the relative expression of otapksPN and otanpsPN genes of P. nordicum. The efficacy of the combined protective cultures was tested in 24 dry-cured hams in industrial ripening (an 8 month-long production). OTA was detected in nine of the 12 dry-cured hams in the batch inoculated only with P. nordicum. However, in the batch inoculated with both P. nordicum and the combined protective culture, a considerable reduction of OTA contamination was observed. In conclusion, although the efficacy of individual use P. chrysogenum is great, the combination with D. hansenii enhances its antifungal activity and could be proposed as a mixed protective culture to control the hazard of the presence of OTA in dry-cured ham.
