van Olst B, Nugroho A, Boeren S, Vervoort J, Bachmann H, Kleerebezem M. Bacterial proteome adaptation during fermentation in dairy environments. Food Microbiol 2024; 121:104514. [PMID: 38637076 DOI: 10.1016/j.fm.2024.104514] [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: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 02/27/2024] [Accepted: 02/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024]
Abstract
The enzymatic repertoire of starter cultures belonging to the Lactococcus genus determines various important characteristics of fermented dairy products but might change in response to the substantial environmental changes in the manufacturing process. Assessing bacterial proteome adaptation in dairy and other food environments is challenging due to the high matrix-protein concentration and is even further complicated in particularly cheese by the high fat concentrations, the semi-solid state of that matrix, and the non-growing state of the bacteria. Here, we present bacterial harvesting and processing procedures that enable reproducible, high-resolution proteome determination in lactococcal cultures harvested from laboratory media, milk, and miniature Gouda cheese. Comparative proteome analysis of Lactococcus cremoris NCDO712 grown in laboratory medium and milk revealed proteome adaptations that predominantly reflect the differential (micro-)nutrient availability in these two environments. Additionally, the drastic environmental changes during cheese manufacturing only elicited subtle changes in the L. cremoris NCDO712 proteome, including modified expression levels of enzymes involved in flavour formation. The technical advances we describe offer novel opportunities to evaluate bacterial proteomes in relation to their performance in complex, protein- and/or fat-rich food matrices and highlight the potential of steering starter culture performance by preculture condition adjustments.

Abstract
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) have a long history of safe use in milk fermentation and are generally recognized as health-promoting microorganisms when present in fermented foods. LAB are also important components of the human intestinal microbiota and are widely used as probiotics. Considering their safe and health-beneficial properties, LAB are considered appropriate vehicles that can be genetically modified for food, industrial and pharmaceutical applications. Here, this review describes (1) the potential opportunities for application of genetically modified LAB strains in dairy fermentation and (2) the various genomic modification tools for LAB strains, such as random mutagenesis, adaptive laboratory evolution, conjugation, homologous recombination, recombineering, and CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat)- Cas (CRISPR-associated protein) based genome engineering. Lastly, this review also discusses the potential future developments of these genomic modification technologies and their applications in dairy fermentations.

Effectiveness of modified atmosphere and vacuum packaging in preserving the volatilome of Stelvio PDO cheese over time. Food Chem 2024; 444:138544.

Abstract
We aimed to assay the effectiveness of vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging in preserving the organoleptic characteristics of already ripened slices of Stelvio Protected Designation of Origin cheese during 3 months of storage. A multi-omics panel, including metagenomic and metabolomic analyses, was implemented together with physicochemical and sensory analyses. Among the 177 volatiles identified, 30 out of the 50 potent odorants were found to be prevalent, regardless of packaging. Isovaleric acid showed the highest relative intensity in all samples. Caproic and caprylic acids always increased during storage, while metabolites such as dodecane and 2,3-butanediol always decreased. Slow proteolysis occurred during storage, but did not differentiate cheese samples. The type of packaging differentiated the microbiota and volatile profile, with modified atmosphere packaging keeping the volatilome more stable. Out of the 50 potent odorants, 9 were relevant to sample discrimination, with 8-nonen-2-one, 2-nonanone, and caproic acid being more abundant in stored samples.

Abstract
Cheesemaking played a pivotal role in the life of the Pyrenean villages where cheese was a most prized commodity and the subject of much local competition. In one of them (Sasa de Sobrepuerto), Mrs. Sebastiana Palacio decided in 1877 to label all the cheeses made in her household with a seal to differentiate them from those made by other local producers. The cheese seal was last used in 1936 and, since then, it has been kept under excellent storage conditions. Since well-preserved cheese seals are rare, and bacterial cells may survive desiccation for long periods, the objective of this work was to isolate and characterize any lactic acid bacteria that survived in the seal. Analysis of the milky crust material revealed the presence of sheep caseins. Culture-based analysis led to the isolation of a strain of Bacillus licheniformis and a strain of Ligilactobacillus salivarius (L. salivarius SP36). The latter was characterized in vitro for safety and dairy-related functional properties. Its genome encodes several genes involved in protein, peptide, and amino acid catabolism, and flavor. Overall, the phenotypic and genetic features of this strain support a high potential for being used as adjunct culture in cheesemaking.

Abstract
Different Savoyard cheeses are granted with PDO (Protected Designation or Origin) and PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) which guarantees consumers compliance with strict specifications. The use of raw milk is known to be crucial for specific flavor development. To unravel the factors influencing microbial ecosystems across cheese making steps, according to the seasonality (winter and summer) and the mode of production (farmhouse and dairy factory ones), gene targeting on bacteria and fungus was used to have a full picture of 3 cheese making technologies, from the raw milk to the end of the ripening. Our results revealed that Savoyard raw milks are a plenteous source of biodiversity together with the brines used during the process, that may support the development of specific features for each cheese. It was shown that rinds and curds have very contrasted ecosystem diversity, composition, and evolution. Ripening stage was selective for some bacterial species, whereas fungus were mainly ubiquitous in dairy samples. All ripening stages are impacted by the type of cheese technologies, with a higher impact on bacterial communities, except for fungal rind communities, for which the technology is the more discriminant. The specific microorganism's abundance for each technology allow to see a real bar-code, with more or less differences regarding bacterial or fungal communities. Bacterial structuration is shaped mainly by matrices, differently regarding technologies while the influence of technology is higher for fungi. Production types showed 10 differential bacterial species, farmhouses showed more ripening taxa, while dairy factory products showing more lactic acid bacteria. Meanwhile, seasonality looks to be a minor element for the comprehension of both microbial ecosystems, but the uniqueness of each dairy plant is a key explicative feature, more for bacteria than for fungus communities.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the functional, technological, and sensory aspects of mangaba (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) fruit pulp fermented with the probiotic Lacticaseibacillus casei 01 (LC1) during refrigerated storage (7 °C, 28 days). The effects of the fermented mangaba pulp on the modulation of the intestinal microbiota of healthy vegan adults were also assessed. Mangaba pulp allowed high viability of LC1 during storage and after simulated gastrointestinal conditions (≥7 log CFU/g). The fermented mangaba pulp showed lower pH and total soluble solids, and higher titratable acidity, and concentrations of lactic, acetic, citric, and propionic acids during storage compared to non-fermented pulp. Also, it presented a higher concentration of bioaccessible phenolics and volatiles, and improved sensory properties (yellow color, brightness, fresh appearance, and typical aroma and flavor). Fermented mangaba pulp added to in vitro cultured colonic microbiota of vegan adults decreased the pH values and concentrations of maltose, glucose, and citric acid while increasing rhamnose and phenolic contents. Fermented mangaba pulp promoted increases in the abundance of Dorea, Romboutsia, Faecalibacterium, Lachnospira, and Lachnospiraceae ND3007 genera and positively impacted the microbial diversity. Findings indicate that mangaba pulp fermented with LC1 has improved chemical composition and functionality, inducing changes in the colonic microbiota of vegan adults associated with potential benefits for human health.

Preparation and In Vitro Characterization of Lactococcus lactis-Loaded Alginate Particles as a Promising Delivery Tool for Periodontal Probiotic Therapy. J Funct Biomater 2024; 15:129.

Abstract
Probiotic microorganisms are used in a variety of food supplements and medical formulations to promote human health. In periodontal therapy, probiotics are mainly used in the form of gels, tablets or rinses that often tend to leak from the periodontal pocket, resulting in a strongly reduced therapeutic effect. In this pilot in vitro study, we present biodegradable alginate-based particles as an alternative, highly efficient system for a periodontal delivery of probiotic bacteria to the inflammation site. For this purpose, Lactococcus (L.) lactis was encapsulated using a standardized pump-controlled extrusion-dripping method. Time-dependent bacterial release in artificial saliva was investigated over 9 days. The effect of freeze drying was explored to ensure long-term storage of L. lactis-loaded particles. Additionally, the particles were bound to dentin surface using approved bioadhesives and subjected to shear stress in a hydrodynamic flow chamber that mimics the oral cavity in vitro. Thus, round particles within the range of 0.80-1.75 mm in radius could be produced, whereby the diameter of the dripping tip had the most significant impact on the size. Although both small and large particles demonstrated a similar release trend of L. lactis, the release rate was significantly higher in the former. Following lyophilization, particles could restore their original shape within 4 h in artificial saliva; thereby, the bacterial viability was not affected. The attachment strength to dentin intensified by an adhesive could resist forces between 10 and 25 N/m2. Full degradation of the particles was observed after 20 days in artificial saliva. Therefore, alginate particles display a valuable probiotic carrier for periodontal applications that have several crucial advantages over existing preparations: a highly stable form, prolonged continuous release of therapeutic bacteria, precise manufacturing according to required dimensions at the application site, strong attachment to the tooth with low risk of dislocation, high biocompatibility and biodegradability.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024; 72:11072-11079. [PMID: 38699886 PMCID: PMC11100003 DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.4c01814] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2024] [Revised: 04/22/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
Gouda-type cheeses were produced on a pilot-scale from raw milk (RM-G) and pasteurized milk (PM-G). Sixteen key aroma compounds previously characterized by the sensomics approach were quantitated in the unripened cheeses and at five different ripening stages (4, 7, 11, 19, and 30 weeks) by means of stable isotope dilution assays. Different trends were observed in the formation of the key aroma compounds. Short-chain free fatty acids and ethyl butanoate as well as ethyl hexanoate continuously increased during ripening but to a greater extent in RM-G. Branched-chain fatty acids such as 3-methylbutanoic acid were also continuously formed and reached a 60-fold concentration after 30 weeks, in particular in PM-G. 3-Methylbutanal and butane-2,3-dione reached a maximum concentration after 7 weeks and decreased with longer ripening. Lactones were high in the unripened cheeses and increased only slightly during ripening. Recent results have shown that free amino acids were released during ripening. The aroma compounds 3-methylbutanal, 3-methyl-1-butanol, and 3-methylbutanoic acid are suggested to be formed by microbial enzymes degrading the amino acid l-leucine following the Ehrlich pathway. To gain insight into the quantitative formation of each of the three aroma compounds, the conversion of the labeled precursors (13C6)-l-leucine and (2H3)-2-keto-4-methylpentanoic acid into the isotopically labeled aroma compounds was studied. By applying the CAMOLA approach (defined mixture of labeled and unlabeled precursor), l-leucine was confirmed as the only precursor of the three aroma compounds in the cheese with the preferential formation of 3-methylbutanoic acid.

Microbial communities, functional, and flavor differences among three different-colored high-temperature Daqu: A comprehensive metagenomic, physicochemical, and electronic sensory analysis. Food Res Int 2024; 184:114257.

Abstract
High-temperature Daqu (HTD) is the starter for producing sauce-flavor Baijiu, with different-colored Daqu (white, yellow, and black) reflecting variations in fermentation chamber conditions, chemical reactions, and associated microbiota. Understanding the relationship between Daqu characteristics and flavor/taste is challenging yet vital for improving Baijiu fermentation. This study utilized metagenomic sequencing, physicochemical analysis, and electronic sensory evaluation to compare three different-colored HTD and their roles in fermentation. Fungi and bacteria dominated the HTD-associated microbiota, with fungi increasing as the fermentation temperature rose. The major fungal genera were Aspergillus (40.17%) and Kroppenstedtia (21.16%), with Aspergillus chevalieri (25.65%) and Kroppenstedtia eburnean (21.07%) as prevalent species. Microbial communities, functionality, and physicochemical properties, particularly taste and flavor, were color-specific in HTD. Interestingly, the microbial communities in different-colored HTDs demonstrated robust functional complementarity. White Daqu exhibited non-significantly higher α-diversity compared to the other two Daqu. It played a crucial role in breaking down substrates such as starch, proteins, hyaluronic acid, and glucan, contributing to flavor precursor synthesis. Yellow Daqu, which experienced intermediate temperature and humidity, demonstrated good esterification capacity and a milder taste profile. Black Daqu efficiently broke down raw materials, especially complex polysaccharides, but had inferior flavor and taste. Notably, large within-group variations in physicochemical quality and microbial composition were observed, highlighting limitations in color-based HTD quality assessment. Water content in HTD was associated with Daqu flavor, implicating its crucial role. This study revealed the complementary roles of the three HTD types in sauce-flavor Baijiu fermentation, providing valuable insights for product enhancement.

Paula VB, Dias LG, Estevinho LM. Microbiological and Physicochemical Evaluation of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and Propolis Film Coatings for Cheese Preservation. Molecules 2024; 29:1941. [PMID: 38731432 PMCID: PMC11085808 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29091941] [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: 03/13/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Dairy products are highly susceptible to contamination from microorganisms. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and propolis film as protective coatings for cheese. For this, microbiological analyses were carried out over the cheese' ripening period, focusing on total mesophilic bacteria, yeasts and moulds, lactic acid bacteria, total coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacteriaceae. Physicochemical parameters (pH, water activity, colour, phenolic compounds content) were also evaluated. The statistical analysis (conducted using ANOVA and PERMANOVA) showed a significant interaction term between the HPMC film and propolis (factor 1) and storage days (factor 2) with regard to the dependent variables: microbiological and physicochemical parameters. A high level of microbial contamination was identified at the baseline. However, the propolis films were able to reduce the microbial count. Physicochemical parameters also varied with storage time, with no significant differences found for propolis-containing films. Overall, the addition of propolis to the film influenced the cheeses' colour and the quantification of phenolic compounds. Regarding phenolic compounds, their loss was verified during storage, and was more pronounced in films with a higher percentage of propolis. The study also showed that, of the three groups of phenolic compounds (hydroxybenzoic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and flavonoids), hydroxycinnamic acids showed the most significant losses. Overall, this study reveals the potential of using HPMC/propolis films as a coating for cheese in terms of microbiological control and the preservation of physicochemical properties.

Exploring diversity and functional traits of lactic acid bacteria in traditional vinegar fermentation: A review. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 412:110550. [PMID: 38199016 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110550] [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: 09/05/2023] [Revised: 12/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024]
Abstract
Vinegar has been used for centuries as a food preservative, flavor enhancer, and medicinal agent. While commonly known for its sour taste and acidic properties due to acetic acid bacteria metabolism, vinegar is also home to a diverse community of lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The main genera found during natural fermentation include Lactobacillus, Lacticaseibacillus, Lentilactobacillus, Limosilactbacillus, Leuconostoc, and Pedicoccus. Many of the reported LAB species fulfill the probiotic criteria set by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, it is crucial to acknowledge that LAB viability undergoes a significant reduction during vinegar fermentation. While containing LAB, none of the analyzed vinegar met the minimum viable amount required for probiotic labeling. To fully unlock the potential of vinegar as a probiotic, investigations should be focused on enhancing LAB viability during vinegar fermentation, identifying strains with probiotic properties, and establishing appropriate dosage and consumption guidelines to ensure functional benefits. Currently, vinegar exhibits substantial potential as a postbiotic product, attributed to the high incidence and growth of LAB in the initial stages of the fermentation process. This review aims to identify critical gaps and address the essential requirements for establishing vinegar as a viable probiotic product. It comprehensively examines various relevant aspects, including vinegar processing, total and LAB diversity, LAB metabolism, the potential health benefits linked to vinegar consumption, and the identification of potential probiotic species.

Decadt H, Weckx S, De Vuyst L. The microbial and metabolite composition of Gouda cheese made from pasteurized milk is determined by the processing chain. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 412:110557. [PMID: 38237418 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110557] [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: 08/17/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/01/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
Gouda cheeses of different production batches and ripening times often differ in metabolite composition, which may be due to the starter culture mixture applied or the growth of non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB) upon maturation. Therefore, a single Gouda cheese production batch was systematically investigated from the thermized milk to the mature cheeses, ripened for up to 100 weeks, to identify the main bacterial species and metabolites and their dynamics during the whole production and ripening. As this seemed to be starter culture strain- and NSLAB-dependent, it requested a detailed, longitudinal, and quantitative investigation. Hereto, microbial colony enumeration, high-throughput full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and a metabolomic approach were combined. Culture-dependently, Lactococcus lactis was the most abundant species from its addition as part of the starter culture up to the first two months of cheese ripening. Afterward, the NSLAB Lacticaseibacillus paracasei became the main species during ripening. The milk was a possible inoculation source for the latter species, despite pasteurization. Culture-independently, the starter LAB Lactococcus cremoris and Lc. lactis were the most abundant species in the cheese core throughout the whole fermentation and ripening phases up to 100 weeks. The cheese rind from 40 until 100 weeks of ripening was characterized by a high relative abundance of the NSLAB Tetragenococcus halophilus and Loigolactobacillus rennini, which both came from the brine. These species were linked with the production of the biogenic amines cadaverine and putrescine. The most abundant volatile organic compound was acetoin, an indicator of citrate and lactose fermentation during the production day, whereas the concentrations of free amino acids were an indicator of the ripening time.

Abstract
The impacts of intensity and treating time of alternating current (AC) electric field (EF) on structure and volatile compounds of peanut protein were investigated for low denaturation. The secondary and tertiary structures, polar and weakly polar volatiles were characterized qualitatively and quantitatively using ultraviolet and fluorescence photospectrometry, free sulfhydryl and disulfide groups determination, and combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The results showed that the ACEF affected significantly proportions of α-helices, β-sheets, β-turns, and random coils as evidenced by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry. Blue shifts of UV and fluorescence spectra, increased surface hydrophobicity and disulfide bonds could be observed after ACEF treatments. The DB-WAX and DB-5MS columns for the polar and weakly polar volatile compound separation revealed that ACEF caused either disappearance or emerging of volatile compounds. The PCA demonstrated that the two principal components contributed about 70 % or more to the flavor and PLS-DA discriminated 18 key compounds.

Abstract
Fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is a promising approach to meet the increasing demand for meat or dairy plant-based analogues with realistic flavours. However, a detailed understanding of the impact of the substrate, fermentation conditions, and bacterial strains on the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced during fermentation is lacking. As a first step, the current study used a defined medium (DM) supplemented with the amino acids L-leucine (Leu), L-isoleucine (Ile), L-phenylalanine (Phe), L-threonine (Thr), L-methionine (Met), or L-glutamic acid (Glu) separately or combined to determine their impact on the VOCs produced by Levilactobacillus brevis WLP672 (LB672). VOCs were measured using headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). VOCs associated with the specific amino acids added included: benzaldehyde, phenylethyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol with added Phe; methanethiol, methional, and dimethyl disulphide with added Met; 3-methyl butanol with added Leu; and 2-methyl butanol with added Ile. This research demonstrated that fermentation by LB672 of a DM supplemented with different amino acids separately or combined resulted in the formation of a range of dairy- and meat-related VOCs and provides information on how plant-based fermentations could be manipulated to generate desirable flavours.

Abstract
Bacterial cells can form biofilm on food contact surfaces, becoming a source of food contamination with profound health implications. The current study aimed to determine some Egyptian medicinal plants antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against foodborne bacterial strains in milk plants. Results indicated that four ethanolic plant extracts, Cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), Marigold (Calendula officinalis), and Sage (Salvia officinalis), had antibacterial (12.0-26.5 mm of inhibition zone diameter) and antibiofilm (10-99%) activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella Typhimurium. The tested extracts had minimum inhibitory concentration values between 0.14 and 2.50 mg/ml and minimum bactericidal concentration values between 0.14 and 12.50 mg/ml. L. monocytogenes was more sensitive for all tested ethanolic extracts; Sage and Cinnamon showed a bacteriocidal effect, while Chamomile and Marigold were bacteriostatic. The ethanolic extracts mixture from Chamomile, Sage, and Cinnamon was chosen for its antibiofilm activity against L. monocytogenes using L-optimal mixture design. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis showed that this mixture contained 12 chemical compounds, where 2-Propenal,3-phenyl- had the maximum area % (34.82%). At concentrations up to 500 µg/ml, it had no cytotoxicity in the normal Vero cell line, and the IC50 value was 671.76 ± 9.03 µg/ml. Also, this mixture showed the most significant antibacterial effect against detached L. monocytogenes cells from formed biofilm in stainless steel milk tanks. At the same time, white soft cheese fortified with this mixture was significantly accepted overall for the panelist (92.2 ± 2.7) than other cheese samples, including the control group.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have evolved into fastidious microorganisms that require amino acids from environmental sources. Some LAB have cell envelope proteases (CEPs) that drive the proteolysis of high molecular weight proteins like casein in milk. CEP activity is typically studied using casein as the predominant substrate, even though CEPs can hydrolyze other protein sources. Plant protein hydrolysis by LAB has rarely been connected to the activity of specific CEPs. This study aims to show the activity of individual CEPs using LAB growth in a minimal growth medium supplemented with high molecular weight casein or potato proteins. Using Lactococcus cremoris MG1363 as isogenic background to express CEPs, we demonstrate that CEP activity is directly related to growth in the protein-supplemented minimal growth media. Proteolysis is analyzed based on the amino acid release, allowing a comparison of CEP activities and analysis of amino acid utilization by L. cremoris MG1363. This approach provides a basis to analyze CEP activity on plant-based protein substrates as casein alternatives and to compare activity of CEP homologs.

Abstract
Meat and meat products have a critical role in the human diet as important high-nutrient foods that are widely consumed worldwide. This study evaluated the effects of postmortem aging on Hu sheep's meat quality in the longissimus dorsi (LD) muscle during postmortem aging. The samples were stored at 4 ± 1 °C; the meat quality was measured at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h, 144 h, and 168 h of postmortem aging. The results showed that, during the postmortem aging process, the pH of the muscles first decreased and then increased, and the shear force first increased and then decreased. The muscle fiber skeleton began to degrade, and the overall meat quality was improved to some extent. In addition, through ACQUITY UPLC I-Class Plus IMS Qtof identification of the muscle samples at different time points during the postmortem maturation process of the meat of Hu sheep, a total of 2168 metabolites were identified, and 470 metabolites were screened based on the VIP, P, and FC values, of which 79 were involved in KEGG pathways. In addition, pathways such as sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, and fatty acid elongation and degradation play an important role in the metabolic product changes in the meat of Hu sheep throughout the entire maturation process. These findings provide some insights into the changes in meat quality during the post-slaughter maturation process of lake lamb.

Abstract
Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis NCCB100539 isolated from an artisanal raw ewe's milk cheese was evaluated as a potential starter culture in white-brined cheese. As a safety criteria, the cytotoxicity of the viable and heat-killed cells and CFE of this strain were determined on Caco-2 cell line by MTT assay. The antibiotic sensitivity of the strain to nine different antibiotics was also investigated. Cheeses produced using this strain were compared with control cheese in terms of physicochemical, microbiological, sensory properties as well as the peptide and volatile profiles during the 90-days of ripening period. Experimental cheeses had more extensive proteolysis as well as higher sensory scores. Incorporated L. lactis also led to an improvement in the microbial cheese quality. Neither living nor the dead cells and CFE of the strain showed cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells. Therefore, L. lactis NCCB100539 strain could be a good starter candidate for the industrial white-brined cheeses.

Abstract
This study investigates the rarely studied volatile organic compound emissions from a cheese production facility and the impact of its wastewater treatment system upgrade on the composition of emitted odorants. Wastewater grab samples were collected from six separate wastewater channels before (2019) and after (2021) the system upgrade and analyzed for volatile organic compounds, pH, total dissolved solids, and electrical conductivity. Results showed that the channel from hard cheese production in 2021 had the highest number of volatile organic compounds (35), followed by the fresh cheese production channel (22). Following the industrial wastewater treatment system upgrade, a mineral oil contamination occurred; however, the number of odorants with nasal impact frequency (NIF) ≥ 0.5 in the effluent decreased from 11 to 5. 2-Propenoic acid butyl ester (NIF 0.75) stood out as the most prominent compound, described as fruity, waxy, or green. After the industrial wastewater treatment system upgrades, we observed a decrease in the number of odorants. However other measures must be taken to ensure proper wastewater processing. PRACTITIONER POINTS: More than 60 VOCs were identified in 6 channels from the cheese production facility.15 odorants in cheese production wastewater were detected by SPME-GC-MS/O. The most potent odorants before and after the system upgrade were 1-octen-3-ol and 2-propenoic acid butyl ester, respectively. The upgrades of the industrial wastewater treatment system had a positive impact on reducing the number of odorants and their odor intensity.

The effects of fermentation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and yeast on the aroma of samples were analyzed in this work.

Only 47 volatile flavor compounds (VFCs) were detected when using GC-IMS, while a combination of GC-MS and GC-IMS resulted in the identification of 150 compounds. LAB-yeast fermentation could significantly increase the diversity and concentrations of VFCs (p < 0.05), including alcohols, acids, esters, and sulfurs, while reduce the contents of aldehydes and ketones. Hierarchical clustering and orthogonal partial least squares analyses confirmed the impact of fermentation on the VFCs of the hydrolysates. Seven compounds were identified as significant compounds distinguishing the aromas of different groups. The partial least squares regression analysis of the 25 key VFCs (ROAV > 1) and sensory results revealed that the treatment groups positively correlated with aromatic, caramel, sour, overall aroma, and most of the key VFCs. In summary, fermentation effectively reduced the fatty and bean-like flavors of soybean hydrolysates, enhancing the overall flavor quality, with sequential inoculation proving to be more effective than simultaneous inoculation. These findings provided a theoretical basis for improving and assessing the flavor of soybean protein hydrolysates.

Abstract
The possible contribution of brine-derived microflora to the sensory attributes of cheese is still a rather unexplored field. In this study, 365 bacteria and 105 yeast strains isolated from 11 cheese brines were qualitatively tested for proteolytic and lipolytic activities, and positive strains were identified by sequencing. Among bacteria, Staphylococcus equorum was the most frequent, followed by Macrococcus caseolyticus and Corynebacterium flavescens. As for yeasts, Debaryomyces hansenii, Clavispora lusitaniae, and Torulaspora delbrueckii were most frequently identified. A total of 38% of bacteria and 59% of yeasts showed at least 1 of the metabolic activities tested, with lipolytic activity being the most widespread (81% of bacteria and 95% of yeasts). Subsequently 15 strains of bacteria and 10 yeasts were inoculated in a curd-based medium and assessed via headspace-solid phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to determine their volatilome. After a 30-d incubation at 12°C, most strains showed a viability increase of about 2 log cfu/mL, suggesting good adaptability to the cheese environment. A total of 26 compounds were detected in the headspace, carbonyl compounds and alcohols being the major contributors to the volatile profile of the curd-based medium. Multivariate analysis was carried out to elucidate the overall differences in volatiles produced by selected strains. Principal component analysis and hierarchical clustering analysis demonstrated that the brine-related microorganisms were separated into 3 different groups, suggesting their different abilities to produce volatile compounds. Some of the selected strains have been shown to have interesting aromatic potential and to possibly contribute to the sensory properties of cheese.

Abstract
Kefir is fermented traditionally with kefir grains, but commercial kefir production often relies on fermentation with planktonic cultures. Kefir has been associated with many health benefits, however, the utilization of kefir grains to facilitate large industrial production of kefir is challenging and makes to difficult to ensure consistent product quality and consistency. Notably, the microbial composition of kefir fermentations has been shown to impact kefir associated health benefits. This study aimed to compare volatile compounds, organic acids, and sugar composition of kefir produced through a traditional grain fermentation and through a reconstituted kefir consortium fermentation. Additionally, the impact of two key microbial communities on metabolite production in kefir was assessed using two modified versions of the consortium, with either yeasts or lactobacilli removed. We hypothesized that the complete kefir consortium would closely resemble traditional kefir, while the consortia without yeasts or lactobacilli would differ significantly from both traditional kefir and the complete consortium fermentation. Kefir fermentations were examined after 12 and 18 h using two-dimensional gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOFMS) to identify volatile compounds and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to identify organic acid and sugar composition. The traditional kefir differed significantly from the kefir consortium fermentation with the traditional kefir having 15-20 log2(fold change) higher levels of esters and the consortium fermented kefir having between 1 and 3 log2(fold change) higher organic acids including lactate and acetate. The use of a version of kefir consortium that lacked lactobacilli resulted in between 2 and 20 log2(fold change) lower levels of organic acids, ethanol, and butanoic acid ethyl ester, while the absence of yeast from the consortium resulted in minimal change. In summary, the kefir consortium fermentation is significantly different from traditional grain fermented kefir with respect to the profile of metabolites present, and seems to be driven by lactobacilli, as evidenced by the significant decrease in multiple metabolites when the lactobacilli were removed from the fermentation and minimal differences observed upon the removal of yeast.

Abstract
The need to improve the safety/quality of food and the health of the hosts has resulted in increasing worldwide interest in acidophilic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) for the food, livestock as well as health industries. In addition to the use of acidophilic LAB with probiotic potential for food fermentation and preservation, their application in the natural disposal of acidic wastes polluting the environment is also being investigated. Considering this new benefit that has been assigned to probiotic microorganisms in recent years, the acceleration in efforts to identify new, efficient, promising probiotic acidophilic LAB is not surprising. One of these effots is to determine both the beneficial and harmful compounds synthesized by acidophilic LAB. Moreover, microorganisms are of concern due to their possible hemolytic, DNase, gelatinase and mucinolytic activities, and the presence of virulence/antibiotic genes. Hence, it is argued that acidophilic LAB should be evaluated for these parameters before their use in the health/food/livestock industry. However, this issue has not yet been fully discussed in the literature. Thus, this review pays attention to the less-known aspects of acidophilic LAB and the compounds they release, clarifying critical unanswered questions, and discussing their health benefits and safety.

Abstract
The efficiency of food irradiation depends on the accuracy of the irradiation dose range that is sufficient for inhibiting microbiological growth without causing an irreversible change to the physical and chemical properties of foods. This study suggests that the concentration of hemoglobin derivatives can be used as a criterion for establishing the limit for chilled beef irradiation at which irradiation-induced oxidation becomes irreversible. The express spectrophotometry method for estimating the hemoglobin derivative concentration shows a nonlinear increase in methemoglobin concentration from 15% to 50% in beef irradiated by accelerated electrons with the doses ranging from 250 Gy to 10,000 Gy. The monitoring of the hemoglobin derivative concentration for three days after irradiation shows nonmonotonous dependencies of methemoglobin concentration in beef in the storage time since the oxidation of hemoglobin occur as a result of irradiation and biochemical processes in beef during storage. The proposed method based on the quantitative analysis of the hemoglobin derivative concentration can be used to estimate the oxidation level for irradiation of foods containing red blood cells. The study proposes a model that describes the change in hemoglobin derivative concentration in beef after irradiation considering that oxidation of hemoglobin can be triggered by the direct ionization caused by accelerated electrons, biochemical processes as a result of bacterial activity, and reactive oxygen species appearing during irradiation and storage. This research throws light on the mechanisms behind food irradiation during storage that should be taken into account for selecting the optimal parameters of irradiation.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are beneficial microbes known for their health-promoting properties. LAB are well known for their ability to produce substantial amounts of bioactive compounds during fermentation. Peptides, exopolysaccharides (EPS), bacteriocins, some amylase, protease, lipase enzymes, and lactic acid are the most important bioactive compounds generated by LAB activity during fermentation. Additionally, the product produced by LAB is dependent on the type of fermentation used. LAB derived from the genera Lactobacillus and Enterococcus are the most popular probiotics at present. Consuming fermented foods has been previously connected to a number of health-promoting benefits such as antibacterial activity and immune system modulation. Furthermore, functional food implementations lead to the application of LAB in therapeutic nutrition such as prebiotic, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor, blood glucose lowering actions. Understanding the characteristics of LAB in diverse sources and its potential as a functional food is crucial for therapeutic applications. This review presents an overview of functional food knowledge regarding interactions between LAB isolated from dairy products (dairy LAB) and fermented foods, as well as the prospect of functioning LAB in human health. Finally, the health advantages of LAB bioactive compounds are emphasized.

Abstract
In the present study, the quality characteristics of Feta cheese were investigated as a function of the packaging container (a stainless-steel tank (SST), a wooden barrel (WB), and a tin can (TC)) and ripening time. The results showed that the Feta cheese's pH, moisture, and lactose decreased, while fat, protein, and salt increased (p < 0.05) during ripening with SST and WB, showing similar behaviors versus that of the TC container. For the proteolysis indices, % TN,% WSN, 12% TCA, and 5% PTA showed the highest values (p < 0.05) for cheeses packaged in WB, followed by those in SST and TC, with all increasing (p < 0.05) during ripening. The most abundant odor-active volatiles were free fatty acids, alcohols, and esters following the order SST > WB > TC on day 60. On day 60, the cheeses packaged in SST and WB showed higher (p < 0.05) hardness and fracturability values, as well as aroma scores, compared to those in TC, with both parameter values increasing with the ripening time.

Abstract
The probiotic role of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in regulating intestinal microbiota to promote human health has been widely reported. However, the types and quantities of probiotics used in practice are still limited. Therefore, isolating and screening LAB with potential probiotic functions from various habitats has become a hot topic. In this study, 104 strains of LAB were isolated from and identified in traditionally fermented vegetables, fresh milk, healthy infant feces, and other environments. The antibacterial properties-resistance to acid, bile salts, and digestive enzymes-and adhesion ability of the strains were determined, and the biological safety of LAB with better performance was studied. Three LAB with good comprehensive performance were obtained. These bacteria had broad-spectrum antibacterial properties and good acid resistance and adhesion ability. They exhibited some tolerance to pig bile salt, pepsin, and trypsin and showed no hemolysis. They were sensitive to the selected antibiotics, which met the required characteristics and safety evaluation criteria for probiotics. An in vitro fermentation experiment and milk fermentation performance test of Lactobacillus rhamnosus (L. rhamnosus) M3 (1) were carried out to study its effect on the intestinal flora and fermentation performance in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Studies have shown that this strain can effectively inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms and produce a classic, pleasant flavor. It has probiotic potential and is expected to be used as a microecological agent to regulate intestinal flora and promote intestinal health. It can also be used as an auxiliary starter to enhance the probiotic value of fermented milk.

Abstract
Studies of newly isolated strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a good basis for expanding the potential for their applications in functional foods, probiotic food supplements, and other probiotic products. They exhibit various functional properties, including such with antiviral activity. Probiotic strains can manifest their antiviral effects by various mechanisms, including direct interaction with viruses, production of antiviral compounds, or immune system modulation. Ten newly isolated LAB strains from traditional fermented food products have been tested for the determination of their antiviral activity. This study was performed to evaluate the effect of cell-free supernatants (CFSs) from the studied strains for the effect on viral replication of Human alphaherpesvirus—HHV-1 and HHV-2 as well as for direct virucidal activity. The CFSs of the LAB strains were used in non-toxic concentrations of 25%, 6.25%, and 1.6%. No direct virucidal activity was observed in tested CFSs, but five of the strains observed a well-defined effect of viral replication inhibition with the selective index (SI) from 4.40 to >54. For two of these five strains, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus KZM 2-11-3 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum KC 5-12 strong activity against HHV-2 with a selective index (SI) over 45 was detected, which is a good basis for further research.

[PMID: 36838401 PMCID: PMC9959724 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms11020436] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 02/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to utilize two by-products, acid whey and apple pomace, as well as an indigenous Lactococcus lactis LL16 strain with the probiotic potential to produce a sustainable cheese with functional properties. Acid whey protein cheese was made by thermocoagulation of fresh acid whey and enhancing the final product by adding apple pomace, L. lactis LL16 strain, or a mixture of both. The sensory, the physicochemical, the proteolytic, and the microbiological parameters were evaluated during 14 days of refrigerated storage. The supplementation of the cheese with apple pomace affected (p ≤ 0.05) the cheese composition (moisture, protein, fat, carbohydrate, and fiber), the texture, the color (lightness, redness, and yellowness), and the overall sensory acceptability. The addition of the presumptive probiotic L. lactis LL16 strain decreased (p ≤ 0.05) the concentration of glutamic acid, thus increasing γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) significantly in the acid whey cheese. The supplementation with apple pomace resulted in slightly (p < 0.05) higher counts of L. lactis LL16 on day seven, suggesting a positive effect of apple pomace components on strain survival. The symbiotic effect of apple pomace and LL16 was noted on proteolysis (pH 4.6-soluble nitrogen and free amino acids) in the cheese on day one, which may have positively influenced the overall sensory acceptance.

Abstract
The biochemical metabolism during cheese ripening plays an active role in producing amino acids, organic acids, and fatty acids. Our objective was to evaluate the unique fingerprint-like infrared spectra of the soluble fractions in different solvents (water-based, methanol, and ethanol) of Turkish white cheese for rapid monitoring of cheese composition during ripening. Turkish white cheese samples were produced in a pilot plant scale using a mesophilic culture (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis, Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris), ripened for 100 days and samples were collected at 20-day intervals for analysis. Three extraction solvents (water, methanol, and ethanol) were selected to obtain soluble cheese fractions. Reference methods included gas chromatography (amino acids and fatty acid profiles), and liquid chromatography (organic acids) were used to obtain the reference results. FT-IR spectra were correlated with chromatographic data using pattern recognition analysis to develop regression and classification predictive models. All models showed a good fit (RPre ≥ 0.91) for predicting the target compounds during cheese ripening. Individual free fatty acids were predicted better in ethanol extracts (0.99 ≥ RPre ≥ 0.93, 1.95 ≥ SEP ≥ 0.38), while organic acids (0.98 ≥ RPre ≥ 0.97, 10.51 ≥ SEP ≥ 0.57) and total free amino acids (RPre = 0.99, SEP = 0.0037) were predicted better by using water-based extracts. Moreover, cheese compounds extracted with methanol provided the best SIMCA classification results in discriminating the different stages of cheese ripening. By using a simple methanolic extraction and collecting spectra with a portable FT-IR device provided a fast, simple, and cost-effective technique to monitor the ripening of white cheese and predict the levels of key compounds that play an important role in the biochemical metabolism of Turkish white cheese.

Abstract
Methyl-branched aldehydes, especially 3-methylbutanal, have been reported to be perceived either as a malty or as a nutty/chocolate-like aroma and were considered an important flavor contributor in fermented meat products. Decomposition of leucine (Leu) by branched-chain amino acid transaminase (BACT) is a crucial step in the metabolism of Leu to 3-methylbutanal. This study was conducted to explore the effects of mixed-starter culture (Lactobacillus fermentum YZU-06 and Staphylococcus saprophyticus CGMCC 3475) and addition of Leu (0, 1, and 3 mM) on the flavor and quality of fermented sausages. The pH, water activity, texture profile analysis, color, counts of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and staphylococci, peptide, and flavor compounds were detected during fermentation. The results showed that the starter culture group increased hardness, elasticity, the counts of LAB and staphylococci, peptide content, volatile flavor compounds, as well as the sensorial scores of sausage, while decreasing pH, a w , and L* and b* values compared with the non-inoculation group. The mixed starter of adding with 3 mM Leu enhanced the content of 3-methylbutanal and overall flavor of fermented sausages. It is applicable to directionally produce methyl-branched aldehydes and improve the overall quality of fermented sausage by the addition of Leu and using starter of L. fermentum YZU-06 and S. saprophyticus CGMCC 3475.

Abstract
Sensory characteristics and flavour profiles of lactic-acid-fermented foods are influenced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) metabolic activities. The flavour compounds released/produced are directly linked to the sensory characteristics of fermented cereals. African fermented cereals constitute a staple, frequently consumed food group and provide high energy and essential nutrients to many communities on the continent. The flavour and aroma characteristics of fermented cereal products could be correlated with the metabolic pathways of fermenting microorganisms. This report looks at the comprehensive link between LAB-produced flavour metabolites and sensory attributes of African fermented cereals by reviewing previous studies. The evaluation of such data may point to future prospects in the application of flavour compounds derived from African fermented cereals in various food systems and contribute toward the improvement of flavour attributes in existing African fermented cereal products.

Abstract
Microbial metabolomics allows understanding and to comprehensively analyse metabolites, and their related cellular and metabolic processes, that are produced and released to the extracellular environment under specific conditions. In that regard, the main objective of this research is to understand the impact of culture media changes in the metabolic profile of Pedobacter lusitanus NL19 (NL19) and Pedobacter himalayensis MTCC 6384 (MTCC6384) and respective influence on the production of biotechnologically relevant compounds. Solid-phase microextraction combined with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry with time-of-flight analyser (GC × GC-ToFMS) was applied to comprehensively study the metabolites produced by NL19 and MTCC6384 both in tryptic soy broth 100% (TSB100) and tryptic soy broth with 25% casein peptone (PC25). A total of 320 metabolites were putatively identified, which belong to different chemical families: alcohols, aldehydes, esters, ethers, hydrocarbons, ketones, nitrogen compounds, sulphur compounds, monoterpenes, and sesquiterpenes. Metabolites that were statistically different from the control (sterile medium) were selected allowing for the construction of the metabolic profile of both strains. A set of 80 metabolites was tentatively associated to the metabolic pathways such as the metabolism of fatty acids, branched-chain aminoacids, phenylalanine, methionine, aromatic compounds, and monoterpene and sesquiterpene biosynthesis. This study allowed to better understand how slight changes of the culture media and thus the composition of nutrients impair the metabolic profile of bacteria, which may be further explored for metabolomics pipeline construction or biotechnological applications.

Abstract
Industrial production of Gouda cheeses mostly relies on a rotated use of different mixed-strain lactic acid bacteria starter cultures to avoid phage infections. However, it is unknown how the application of these different starter culture mixtures affect the organoleptic properties of the final cheeses. Therefore, the present study assessed the impact of three different starter culture mixtures on the batch-to-batch variations among Gouda cheeses from 23 different batch productions in the same dairy company. Both the cores and rinds of all these cheeses were investigated after 36, 45, 75, and 100 weeks of ripening by metagenetics based on high-throughput full-length 16S rRNA gene sequencing accompanied with an amplicon sequence variant (ASV) approach as well as metabolite target analysis of non-volatile and volatile organic compounds. Up to 75 weeks of ripening, the acidifying Lactococcus cremoris and Lactococcus lactis were the most abundant bacterial species in the cheese cores. The relative abundance of Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides was significantly different for each starter culture mixture. This impacted the concentrations of some key metabolites, such as acetoin produced from citrate, and the relative abundance of non-starter lactic acid bacteria (NSLAB). Cheeses with the least Leuc. pseudomesenteroides contained more NSLAB, such as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei that was taken over by Tetragenococcus halophilus and Loigolactobacillus rennini upon ripening time. Taken together, the results indicated a minor role of leuconostocs in aroma formation but a major impact on the growth of NSLAB. The relative abundance of T. halophilus (high) and Loil. rennini (low) increased with ripening time from rind to core. Two main ASV clusters of T. halophilus could be distinguished, which were differently correlated with some metabolites, both beneficial (regarding aroma formation) and undesirable ones (biogenic amines). A well-chosen T. halophilus strain could be a candidate adjunct culture for Gouda cheese production.

Abstract
Fermented foods are gaining popularity due to health-promoting properties with high levels of nutrients, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds, and probiotic microorganisms. Due to its unique fermentation process, Lactococcus lactis plays a key role in the food business, notably in the manufacturing of dairy products. The superior biological activities of L. lactis in these functional foods include anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory capabilities. L. lactis boosted growth performance, controlled amino acid profiles, intestinal immunology, and microbiota. Besides that, the administration of L. lactis increased the rate of infection clearance. Innate and acquired immune responses would be upregulated in both local and systemic compartments, resulting in these consequences. L. lactis is often employed in the food sector and is currently being exploited as a delivery vehicle for biological research. These bacteria are being eyed as potential candidates for biotechnological applications. With this in mind, we reviewed the immunomodulatory effects of different L. lactis strains.

Abstract
This work describes the phenotypic typing and complete genome analysis of LL441, a dairy Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strain. LL441 utilized a large range of carbohydrates and showed strong activity of some carbohydrate-degrading enzymes. The strain grew slowly in milk and produced acids and ketones along with other volatile compounds. The genome of LL441 included eight circular molecules, the bacterial chromosome, and seven plasmids (pLL441-1 through pLL441-7), ranging in size from 8.7 to 53.3 kbp. Genome analysis revealed vast arrays of genes involved in carbohydrate utilization and flavor formation in milk, as well as genes providing acid and bile resistance. No genes coding for virulence traits or pathogenicity factors were detected. Chromosome and plasmids were packed with insertion sequence (IS) elements. Plasmids were also abundant in genes encoding heavy metal resistance traits and plasmid maintenance functions. Technologically relevant phenotypes linked to plasmids, such as the production of plantaricin C (pLL441-1), lactose utilization (pLL441-2), and bacteriophage resistance (pLL441-4), were also identified. The absence of acquired antibiotic resistance and of phenotypes and genes of concern suggests L. plantarum LL441 be safe. The strain might therefore have a use as a starter or starter component in dairy and other food fermentations or as a probiotic.

Abstract
Fusion enzymes are attractive tools for facilitating the assembly of biocatalytic cascades for chemical synthesis. This approach can offer great advantages for cooperative redox cascades that need the constant supply of a donor molecule. In this work, we have developed a self-sufficient bifunctional enzyme that can be coupled to transaminase-catalyzed reactions for the efficient recycling of the amino donor (L-alanine). By genetic fusion of an alanine dehydrogenase (AlaDH) and a formate dehydrogenase (FDH), a redox-complementary system was applied to recycle the amino donor and the cofactor (NADH), respectively. AlaDH and FDH were assembled in both combinations (FDH-AlaDH and AlaDH-FDH), with a 2.5-fold higher enzymatic activity of the latter system. Then, AlaDH-FDH was coupled to two different S-selective transaminases for the synthesis of vanillyl amine (10 mM) reaching up to 99 % conversion in 24 h in both cases. Finally, the multienzyme system was reused for at least 3 consecutive cycles when implemented in dialysis-assisted biotransformations.

Abstract
Microorganisms involved in food fermentation not only improve the aroma and taste of the food, but also enhance its preservation. Thus, they are added as starter cultures to boost the final product quality of commercial fermented foods. Although these microorganisms originate from fermented foods and have a long history of consumption, the European Union recently applied the concept of Qualified presumption of Safety (QPS), which is a safety evaluation system for microorganisms used in food or feed in Europe. The QPS system is a species-level safety system and shares results with the European Novel Food System, a strain-level safety evaluation system. In the United States, microorganisms added to fermented foods are considered as food additives or Generally Recognized as Safe substance. In Korea, food microbe lists are presented at the species level. Moreover, the nation has established a strain-oriented evaluation system that applies temporary safety evaluation methods for food raw materials as well as new raw materials. However, when it comes to microorganisms isolated from traditional fermented foods and other fermented food products, there is no definition of the term "species," and there is a lack of an evaluation system at the species level. Therefore, such an evaluation system for microbial species used in Korean fermented foods is necessary.

Abstract
Probiotic bacteria are used for food biopreservation because their metabolic products might contribute to ensuring food microbiological safety and/or increase its shelf life without the addition of chemical preservatives. Moreover, biopreserved foods are excellent vehicles for the delivery of probiotic bacteria. The aim of the study was to investigate the potential of chocolate mousse food matrix for the delivery of the probiotic strain Lactobacillus helveticus 2/20 (Lb. helveticus 2/20) and to investigate its capacity to inhibit the growth of two foodborne pathogenic bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli). Therefore, the populations of free or encapsulated in calcium alginate Lb. helveticus 2/20 cells and/or of each pathogen (used to voluntarily contaminate each sample) were monitored both in complex nutrient medium (MRS broth) and in chocolate mousse under refrigeration conditions and at room temperature. Lb. helveticus 2/20 alone in free or encapsulated state effectively inhibited the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 and Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 in chocolate mousse when stored at 20 ± 2 °C. Practically no viable unwanted bacteria were identified on the 7th day from the beginning of the process. High viable Lb. helveticus 2/20 cell populations were maintained during storage under refrigerated conditions (4 ± 2 °C) and at room temperature. Chocolate mousse is thus a promising food matrix to deliver probiotic Lb. helveticus 2/20 cells, which could also protect it from contamination by unwanted bacteria.

Harnessing diversity of Lactococcus lactis from raw goat milk: Design of an indigenous starter for the production of Rocamadour, a French PDO cheese. Int J Food Microbiol 2022; 379:109837. [PMID: 35872491 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2022.109837] [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: 01/10/2022] [Revised: 06/24/2022] [Accepted: 07/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
Twenty-four strains of Lactococcus lactis isolated from raw goat milk collected in the Rocamadour PDO area were analysed by MLST typing and phenotypic characterisation. The strains were combined to design an indigenous starter for the production of Rocamadour PDO cheese. The strains were divided into three classes based on their technological properties: acidifying and proteolytic strains in class I (12/24 strains), slightly acidifying and non-proteolytic strains in class II (2/24 strains), and non-acidifying and non-proteolytic strains in class III (10/24 strains). Interestingly, all but three strains (21/24) produced diacetyl/acetoin despite not having citrate metabolism genes, as would classically be expected for the production of these aroma compounds. Three strains (EIP07A, EIP13D, and EIP20B) were selected for the indigenous starter based on the following inclusion/exclusion criteria: (i) no negative interactions between included strains, (ii) ability to metabolize lactose and at least one strain with the prtP gene and/or capable of producing diacetyl/acetoin, and (iii) selected strains derived from different farms to maximise genetic and phenotypic diversity. Despite consisting exclusively of L. lactis strains, the designed indigenous starter allowed reproducible cheese production with performances similar to those obtained with an industrial starter and with the sensory qualities expected of Rocamadour PDO cheese.

Manganese Modulates Metabolic Activity and Redox Homeostasis in Translationally Blocked Lactococcus cremoris, Impacting Metabolic Persistence, Cell Culturability, and Flavor Formation. Microbiol Spectr 2022; 10:e0270821. [PMID: 35638825 PMCID: PMC9241929 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.02708-21] [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] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Manganese (Mn) is an essential trace element that is supplemented in microbial media with varying benefits across species and growth conditions. We found that growth of Lactococcus cremoris was unaffected by manganese omission from the growth medium. The main proteome adaptation to manganese omission involved increased manganese transporter production (up to 2,000-fold), while the remaining 10 significant proteome changes were between 1.4- and 4-fold. Further investigation in translationally blocked (TB), nongrowing cells showed that Mn supplementation (20 μM) led to approximately 1.5 X faster acidification compared with Mn-free conditions. However, this faster acidification stagnated within 24 h, likely due to draining of intracellular NADH that coincides with substantial loss of culturability. Conversely, without manganese, nongrowing cells persisted to acidify for weeks, albeit at a reduced rate, but maintaining redox balance and culturability. Strikingly, despite being unculturable, α-keto acid-derived aldehydes continued to accumulate in cells incubated in the presence of manganese, whereas without manganese cells predominantly formed the corresponding alcohols. This is most likely reflecting NADH availability for the alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed conversion. Overall, manganese influences the lactococcal acidification rate, and flavor formation capacity in a redox dependent manner. These are important industrial traits especially during cheese ripening, where cells are in a non-growing, often unculturable state. IMPORTANCE In nature as well as in various biotechnology applications, microorganisms are often in a nongrowing state and their metabolic persistence determines cell survival and functionality. Industrial examples are dairy fermentations where bacteria remain active during the ripening phases that can take up to months and even years. Here we investigated environmental factors that can influence lactococcal metabolic persistence throughout such prolonged periods. We found that in the absence of manganese, acidification of nongrowing cells remained active for weeks while in the presence of manganese it stopped within 1 day. The latter coincided with the accumulation of amino acid derived volatile metabolites. Based on metabolic conversions, proteome analysis, and a reporter assay, we demonstrated that the manganese elicited effects were NADH dependent. Overall the results show the effect of environmental modulation on prolonged cell-based catalysis, which is highly relevant to non-growing cells in nature and biotechnological applications.

Changes of Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Their Receptors in an Obese Rat Model After Sleeve Gastrectomy. Obes Surg 2022; 32:2649-2657. [PMID: 35648365 DOI: 10.1007/s11695-022-06130-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2021] [Revised: 05/16/2022] [Accepted: 05/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and gut microbiota have health-related effects and are associated with a wide range of disorders. However, the changes of SCFAs and their receptors after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) remain unclear. This study aimed to examine changes of SCFAs and their receptors after SG in an obese rat model. METHODS Thirty obese Sprague-Dawley rats eating a high-energy diet for 6 weeks were divided into three groups: sham-operated (SO) control, pair-fed (PF) control, and SG group. Six weeks after the surgery, metabolic parameters, SCFA levels in the blood and stool, mRNA and protein expression of SCFA receptors in the ileum and epididymal fat, and gut microbiota were examined. RESULTS Metabolic parameters in the SG group were significantly improved compared with the SO group. Acetic acid levels in the blood and stool were significantly higher in the SG group than the PF group. The butyric acid level in the stool was also significantly higher in the SG group than in the PF group. In the ileum and epididymal fat, mRNA and protein expression of GPR41 was significantly higher in the SG group than in the other two groups, and mRNA and protein expression of GPR43 was significantly higher in the SG group than in the PF group. Increases in the genera Enterococcus, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Clostridium were observed in the stool after SG. CONCLUSIONS SG may activate SCFA pathways through a change in gut microbiota.
