[PMID: 39040148 PMCID: PMC11261264 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2024.101594] [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: 05/17/2024] [Revised: 06/17/2024] [Accepted: 06/24/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024] Open
Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the effect of salt concentration on the quality and microbial community of pickled peppers during fermentation, and the cross-correlation between microorganisms and quality was also revealed. The results showed that 9 volatile flavor compounds were unique to the low salt concentration group (D group), which also contained higher content of FAA, lactic acid and acetic acid than high salt concentration group (G group). Meanwhile, the samples of D2 group have a better texture properties. Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Ascomycota, Lactobacillus, Pectobacterium, and Pseudomonas were detected as the main microbial community during the fermentation with different salt concentrations. Furthermore, the correlations analysis results indicated that the salt concentration has a significant effect on the microbial community of pickled peppers (p < 0.001), and Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, Cedecca, Issatchenkia, Pichia, Kazachstania, and Hanseniaspora were significantly correlated with flavors, which played crucial roles in the unique flavor formation of pickled peppers.

Organic acids drove the microbiota succession and consequently altered the flavor quality of Laotan Suancai across fermentation rounds: Insights from the microbiome and metabolome. Food Chem 2024; 450:139335. [PMID: 38642533 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139335] [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: 11/30/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2024] [Accepted: 04/09/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024]
Abstract
Laotan Suancai, a popular traditional Chinese fermented vegetable, is manufactured in the industry via four fermentation rounds. However, the differences in flavor quality of Laotan Suancai from the four fermentation rounds and the causes of this variation remain unclear. Metabolome analysis indicated that the different content of five taste compounds and 31 aroma compounds caused the differences in flavor quality among the variated fermentation rounds of Laotan Suancai. Amplicon sequencing indicated that the microbial succession exhibited a certain pattern during four fermentation rounds and further analysis unveiled that organic acids drove the microbiota shift to more acid-resistant populations. Spearman correlation analysis highlighted that seven core microbes may be involved in the formation of differential flavor and the corresponding metabolic pathways were reconstructed by function prediction. Our findings offer a novel perspective on comprehending the deterioration of flavor quality across the fermentation rounds of Laotan Suancai.

Abstract
Defined starter cultures, containing selected microbes could reduce the complexity of natural starter, are beneficial for controllable food fermentations. However, there are challenges in identifying key microbiota and constructing synthetic microbiota for traditional food fermentations. Here, we aimed to develop a defined starter culture for reproducible profile of flavour compounds, using Chinese Xiaoqu Baijiu fermentation as a case. We classified all microbes into 4 modules using weighted correlation network analysis. Module 3 presented significant correlations with flavour compounds (P < 0.05) and the highest gene abundance related with flavour compound production. 13 dominant species in module 3 were selected for mixed culture fermentation, and each species was individually deleted to analyse the effect on flavour compound production. Ten species, presenting significant effects (P < 0.05) on flavour compound production, were selected for developing the starter culture, including Rhizopus oryzae, Rhizopus microsporus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Lactobacillus acetotolerans, Levilactobacillus brevis, Weissella paramesenteroides, Pediococcus acidilactici, and Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides. After optimising the structure of the starter culture, the profile similarity of flavour compounds produced by the starter culture reached 81.88% with that by the natural starter. This work indicated feasibility of reproducible profile of flavour compounds with defined starter culture for food fermentations.

The Potential Correlation between Bacterial Diversity and the Characteristic Volatile Flavor Compounds of Sichuan Sauce-Flavored Sausage. Foods 2024; 13:2350. [PMID: 39123542 PMCID: PMC11312067 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152350] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The distinctive taste of Sichuan sauce-flavored sausage comes from an intricate microbial metabolism. The correlation between microbial composition and distinct flavor components has not been researched. The study used headspace solid-phase microextraction action with gas chromatography mass spectrometry to find flavor components and high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA to look at the diversity and succession of microbial communities. The correlation network model forecasted the connection between essential bacteria and the development of flavors. The study revealed that the primary flavor compounds in Sichuan sauce-flavored sausages were alcohols, aldehydes, and esters. The closely related microbes were Leuconostoc, Pseudomonas, Psychrobacter, Flavobacterium, and Algoriella. The microbes aided in the production of various flavor compounds, such as 1-octen-3-ol, benzeneacetaldehyde, hexanal, (R,R)-2,3-butanediol, and ethyl caprylate. This work has enhanced our comprehension of the diverse functions that bacteria serve in flavor development during the fermentation of Sichuan sauce-flavored sausage.

Sawada K, Yamada T. Influence of the initial microbiota on eggplant shibazuke pickle and eggplant juice fermentation. Microbiol Spectr 2024; 12:e0046424. [PMID: 39016604 DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.00464-24] [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: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 07/18/2024] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to investigate the effects of the initial microbiota on microbial succession and metabolite transition during eggplant fermentation. Samples of traditional Japanese eggplant pickles, shibazuke, which were spontaneously fermented by plant-associated microbiota, were used for the analysis. Microbiota analysis indicated two successional patterns: early dominance of lactic acid bacteria superseded by aerobic bacteria and early dominance of lactic acid bacteria maintained to the end of the production process. Next, shibazuke production was modeled using filter-sterilized eggplant juice, fermenting the average composition of the initial shibazuke microbiota, which was artificially constructed from six major species identified during shibazuke production. In contrast to shibazuke production, all batches of eggplant juice fermentation showed almost identical microbial succession and complete dominance of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in the final microbiota. These findings revealed the fate of initial microbiota under shibazuke production conditions: the early dominance of lactic acid bacteria that was maintained throughout, with L. plantarum ultimately predominating the microbiota. Furthermore, a comparison of the results between shibazuke production and eggplant juice fermentation suggested that L. plantarum is involved in the production of lactic acid, alanine, and glutamic acid during eggplant fermentation regardless of the final microbiota. IMPORTANCE The findings shown in this study provide insight into the microbial succession during spontaneous pickle fermentation and the role of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in eggplant pickle production. Moreover, the novel method of using filter-sterilized vegetable juice with an artificial microbiota to emulate spontaneous fermentation can be applied to other spontaneously fermented products. This approach allows for the evaluation of the effect of specific initial microbiota in the absence of plant-associated bacteria from raw materials potentially promoting a greater understanding of microbial behavior in complex microbial ecosystems during vegetable fermentation.

Abstract
Paojiao, a typical Chinese traditional fermented pepper, is favored by consumers for its unique flavor profile. Microorganisms, organic acids, amino acids, and volatile compounds are the primary constituents influencing the development of paojiao's flavor. To elucidate the key flavor compounds and core microorganisms of Qicaipaojiao (QCJ), this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the changes in taste substances (organic acids and amino acids) and volatile flavor compounds during QCJ fermentation. Key flavor substances in QCJ were identified using threshold aroma value and odor activity value and the core microorganisms of QCJ were determined based on the correlation between dominant microorganisms and the key flavor substances. During QCJ fermentation, 16 key taste substances (12 free amino acids and 4 organic acids) and 12 key aroma substances were identified. The fermentation process involved 10 bacteria and 7 fungal genera, including Lactiplantibacillus, Leuconostoc, Klebsiella, Pichia, Wickerhamomyces, and Candida. Correlation analysis revealed that the core functional microorganisms encompassed representatives from 8 genera, including 5 bacterial genera (Lactiplantibacillus, Weissella, Leuconostoc, Klebsiella, and Kluyvera) and 3 fungal genera (Rhodotorula, Phallus, and Pichia). These core functional microorganisms exhibited significant correlations with approximately 70 % of the key flavor substances (P < 0.05). This study contributes to an enhanced understanding of flavor formation mechanisms and offers valuable insight into flavor quality control in food fermentation processes.

Abstract
Spicy cabbage is a popular fermented vegetable food. The study aimed to determine the physicochemical properties, volatile flavor components, sensory evaluation, and microbial diversity of spicy cabbage prepared using different methods. Three methods were used: single-bacteria fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YB-106 and Leuconostoc mesenteroides YB-23, mixed fermentation (LMP) using both strains, and natural fermentation as the blank control (CON). The LMP group has the best quality of spicy cabbage and the highest sensory score. Esters and alkenes were the main volatile flavor components of the spicy cabbage by GC-MS. The fermentation time of LMP group was shorter, and the nitrite degradation rate was >60 %, which was significantly higher than that of other groups (p < 0.05). From the perspective of microbial diversity, the dominant bacteria genera in each group were Lactobacillus, Pantoea, Enterococcus and Pseudomonas. However, mixed fermentation decreased the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, of which the abundance of Serratia was <0.1 %. In conclusion, mixed fermentation can significantly improve the quality of spicy cabbage and shorten the fermentation time. These findings laid the theoretical foundation for the industrial production of high-quality spicy cabbage.

Abstract
This study performed a comparative analysis of the sensory and microbial profiles of light-flavor Bijou (LFD) from Taiyuan (Shanxi Province) and Suizhou (Hubei Province) in China. The results of the electronic nose showed that the aromatic substances of the LFD from Taiyuan (TLFD) were significantly higher (p < .05), while alcohol and aldehyde substances were significantly lower (p < .05) compared with the LFD from Suizhou (SLFD). The average response values of sensors W1C (sensitive to aromatic hydrocarbons), W3C (sensitive to amine and aromatic components), W5C (sensitive to olefins, aromatics, and polar molecules), and W2S (sensitive to alcohol and aldehyde compounds) to TLFD were 0.26, 0.33, 0.34, and 7.72, whereas the response values to SLFD were 0.25, 0.32, 0.33, and 8.04, respectively. The electronic tongue results showed that the aftertaste A (bitter aftertaste) and aftertaste B (astringent aftertaste) of the TLFD were significantly higher (p < .05) and umami was significantly lower (p < .05) as compared to the SLFD. The relative intensities of the aftertaste A, aftertaste B, and umami indicators of TLFD were 0.10, -0.008, and -0.22, respectively, while those of SLFD were -0.23, -0.36, and 0.835, respectively. MiSeq high-throughput sequencing results showed that TLFD exhibited lower fungal richness and diversity compared to SLFD. The dominant bacterial genera were mainly Bacillus (58.12%), Kroppenstedtia (10.11%), and Weissella (6.26%), and the dominant fungal genera were Saccharomycopsis (67.53%), Rasamsonia (9.90%), and Thermoascus (7.10%). Streptomyces and Staphylococcus were identified as the key characteristic microorganisms in TLFD, while Kroppenstedtia, Rasamsonia, and Thermoascus were the key characteristic microorganisms in SLFD. Correlation analysis indicated a stronger correlation between microorganisms and sensory characteristics in SLFD samples. This study provides valuable insights into the sensory and microbiological characteristics of LFD from different regions and offers a new perspective for understanding the production of differently flavored light-flavor Baijiu.

Abstract
Identifying key flavor compounds and their producing bacteria in sour bamboo shoots is crucial for flavor stabilization and industrial production. This study analyzed 15 traditional sour bamboo shoot samples from northern Guangdong to determine key flavor substances and microbial community. Results showed key flavor substances were acetic acid (RTC ≥ 50% in 10 samples), lactic acid (RTC ≥ 50% in 5 samples), and p-cresol (ROC ≥ 93%). Lactobacillus (ARA: 54.62%) was the dominant genus, significantly correlated with p-cresol (r = 0.80, p ≤ 0.01). Levilactobacillus (ARA: 3.33%) was positively correlated with lactic acid and p-cresol (r = 0.78, p ≤ 0.01; r = 0.66, p ≤ 0.01). Lentilactobacillus (ARA: 4.29%) was positively correlated with acetic acid (r = 0.85, p ≤ 0.01). Levilactobacillus was isolated, screened, identified, and its ability to produce key flavor substances was tested. Four strains of Levilactobacillus spicheri and their mixed strains produced lactic acid (10.12-16.62 g/kg), acetic acid (10.21-21.60 g/kg), and p-cresol (25.67-143.87 mg/kg). This is the first report of Levilactobacillus spicheri producing p-cresol.

Insights into the mechanisms driving microbial community succession during pepper fermentation: Roles of microbial interactions and endogenous environmental changes. Food Res Int 2024; 179:114033. [PMID: 38342553 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114033] [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: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 01/11/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/13/2024]
Abstract
Elucidating the driving mechanism of microbial community succession during pepper fermentation contributes to establishing efficient fermentation regulation strategies. This study utilized three-generation high-throughput sequencing technology, microbial co-occurrence network analysis, and random forest analysis to reveal microbial community succession processes and driving mechanisms during pepper fermentation. The results showed that more positive correlations than negative correlations were observed among microorganisms, with positive correlation proportions of 60 %, 51.03 %, and 71.43 % between bacteria and bacteria, fungi and fungi, and bacteria and fungi in sipingtou peppers, and 69.23 %, 54.93 %, and 79.44 % in zhudachang peppers, respectively. Microbial interactions, mainly among Weissella hellenica, Lactobacillus plantarum, Hanseniaspora opuntiae, and Kazachstania humillis, could drive bacterial and fungal community succession. Notably, the bacterial community successions during the fermentation of two peppers were similar, showing the transition from Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Lactococcus lactis, Weissella ghanensis to Weissella hellenica and Lactobacillus plantarum. However, the fungal community successions in the two fermented peppers differed significantly, and the differential biomarkers were Dipodascus geotrichum and Kazachstania humillis. Differences in autochthonous microbial composition and inherent constituents brought by pepper varieties resulted in different endogenous environmental changes, mainly in fructose, malic acid, and citric acid. Furthermore, endogenous environmental factors could also drive microbial community succession, with succinic acid, lactic acid, and malic acid being the main potential drivers of bacterial community succession, whereas fructose, glucose, and succinic acid were the main drivers of fungal community succession. These results will provide insights into controlling fermentation processes by raw material combinations, optimization of environmental parameters, and microbial interactions.

Integrated metatranscriptomics and metabolomics reveal microbial succession and flavor formation mechanisms during the spontaneous fermentation of Laotan Suancai. Food Res Int 2024; 177:113865. [PMID: 38225131 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113865] [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: 09/23/2023] [Revised: 12/04/2023] [Accepted: 12/14/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
Laotan Suancai, a Chinese traditional fermented vegetable, possesses a unique flavor that depends on the fermentative microbiota. However, the drivers of microbial succession and the correlation between flavor and active microbiota remain unclear. A total of 21 characteristic flavor metabolites were identified in Laotan Suancai by metabolomics, including 8 sulfides, 6 terpenes, 3 organic acids, 2 isothiocyanates, 1 ester, and 1 pyrazine. Metatranscriptome analysis revealed variations in the active microbiota at different stages of fermentation, and further analysis indicated that organic acids were the primary drivers of microbial succession. Additionally, we reconstructed the metabolic network responsible for the formation of characteristic flavor compounds and identified Companilactobacillus alimentarius, Weissella cibaria, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, and Loigolactobacillus coryniformis as the core functional microbes involved in flavor development. This study contributed to profoundly understanding the relationship between the active microbiota and flavor quality formation, as well as the targeted selection of starters with flavor regulation abilities.

Metabolomics and metatranscriptomics reveal the influence mechanism of endogenous microbe (Staphylococcus succinus) inoculation on the flavor of fermented chili pepper. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 406:110371. [PMID: 37659279 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110371] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 08/16/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 09/04/2023]
Abstract
This study integrated metabolomic and metatranscriptomic techniques to examine how the endogenous microbe, Staphylococcus succinus, influenced the essential flavor of fermented chili peppers. The mechanisms governing spontaneous fermentation and S. succinus-inoculated fermentation were also elucidated. Esters (e.g., ethyl undecanoate, isoamyl acetate, and methyl salicylate), terpenes (e.g., terpinen-4-ol), and alcohols (e.g., α-terpineol, linalool, and 4-methyl-3-heptanol) were found to be the key aroma-active compounds, aspartic acid (Asp) and glutamic acid (Glu) were identified as primary flavoring free amino acids. Notably, during the early stages of S. succinus-inoculated fermentation, the production of these essential metabolites was abundant, while their gradual increase over time was observed in the case of spontaneous fermentation. Metatranscriptomic analysis revealed that S. succinus inoculation could up-regulate genes related to glycolysis, amino acid metabolism, and aroma compound synthesis. These changes sequentially boosted the production of sweet and umami free amino acids, enhanced organic acid levels, increased unique aroma compound generation, and further improved the flavor and quality of the fermented chili peppers. Therefore, S. succinus inoculation can augment the sensory quality of fermented chili peppers, making this strain a promising candidate for Sichuan pickle fermentation starters.

Abstract
This study examined the bacterial community dynamics and their relationship with volatile compounds in Xinjiang smoked horsemeat sausage during fermentation. We employed single-molecule real-time sequencing (SMRT) to identify the bacterial composition, while headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was utilized to detect volatile compounds in the sausage. The findings indicated that Staphylococcus xylosus, Lactococcus garvieae, Latilactobacillus sakei, Lactococcus lactis, and Weissella hellenica were the predominant species during the fermentation. Moreover, we identified 56 volatile substances in the smoked horsemeat sausages, including alcohols, esters, ketones, acids, aldehydes, terpenes, and phenols. Notably, the correlation analysis demonstrated positive associations between the major bacteria and the primary volatile compounds, with notable connections observed for Staphylococcus xylosus, Lactococcus garvieae and Weissella hellenica. These research findings provide a foundation for future endeavors aimed at enhancing the flavor quality of smoked horsemeat sausage.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of inoculation with a starter culture consisting of Lactobacillus plantarum LNJ002 and Leuconostoc citreum BNCC 194779 on microbial community, cell wall polysaccharide characteristics, cell wall degrading enzymes, and microstructure during Chinese Dongbei suancai fermentation. The results showed that Lactobacillus (98.75%) was the dominant genus during fermentation of Dongbei suancai. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) suggested that inoculation with Lactobacillus promoted the stability of microbial community structure during Chinese Dongbei suancai fermentation. Besides, the lower content in cellulose (80.28 ± 2.61 ug/mg) and pectin (53.56 ± 2.67 ug/mg) observed in the inoculated fermented suancai. Simultaneously, the inoculated fermented suancai had the most decreases in SR 1 (70.35%) and SR 3 (72.06%) and the most increase in SR 2 (950%), which suggested that inoculation intensified the decrease of the linearity and the RG-1 branching degree of pectin. The contents of polygalacturonase (PG) and pectin methylesterase (PME) in inoculated fermented suancai were 21.06% and 21.86% higher than those in naturally fermented suancai. In addition, the surface of suancai leaves gradually changed from smooth to rough during fermentation, which was accelerated by inoculation. Moreover, Lactobacillus, Aspergillus, Wallemia and Mucor were all negatively correlated with cellulose and GalA. These results revealed that inoculation promoted the formation of dominant genus structure during suancai fermentation, changed the effects of enzymes on the degradation of cell wall components, thereby accelerated the formation of Chinese Dongbei suancai texture.

Potential role of cell wall pectin polysaccharides, water state, and cellular structure on twice "increase-decrease" texture changes during kohlrabi pickling process. Food Res Int 2023; 173:113308.

Abstract
Pickled kohlrabi is a traditional and favored vegetable product in China. During pickling, the hardness, springiness, and chewiness of kohlrabi all experienced a typical change with twice "increase-decrease" trend. However, little is known about its mechanism. In this study, in situ analysis including immunofluorescence, low field nuclear magnetic, and transmission electron microscopy were used to explore the effects of cell wall pectin, water state, and cellular structure on kohlrabi texture changes during pickling. Results revealed that at the early stage, due to the rapid loss of water after three times salting, the cells shrank and the interstitial space reduced, resulting in the first increase on kohlrabi texture. Subsequently, the dehydration-rehydration caused by the first brine processing resulted in the first decrease on kohlrabi texture. Then under the action of PME enzyme, more low-esterified pectin was produced, and chelate-soluble pectin with more branched structure was further formed, leading to another elevation of the sample texture. As the pickling continued, under the combined action of PG and PME, the molecular weight of pectin was decreased and the rigidity of the cell tissue was destroyed, caused kohlrabi texture continued to decline. These researches could provide important information and guidance for better maintaining the texture of pickled vegetables during processing.

Abstract
Zhalajiao, a traditional Chinese fermented food, is popular due to its unique flavor. Traditional Zhalajiao fermentation is closely related to flavor compounds production. However, the mechanisms underlying the formation of these crucial flavor components in Zhalajiao remain unclear. Here, we explored the dynamic changes in physical and chemical properties, microbial diversity, and flavor components of Zhalajiao at various fermentation times. In total, 6 organic acids, 17 amino acids, and 21 key volatile compounds were determined as flavor components. In Zhalajiao, Lactobacillus and Cyanobacterium were the main bacteria that were involved in the formation of crucial flavor compounds. Candida showed a significant correlation with 14 key flavor compounds during fermentation (p < 0.05) and was the main fungal genus associated with flavor formation in Zhalajiao. This research offers a theoretical foundation for the flavor regulation and quality assurance of Zhalajiao.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of Lentilactobacillus buchneri (L. buchneri: CCTCC M 2023228) and Kazachstania bulderi (K. bulderi: CCTCC M 2023227) on the quality characteristics and volatile flavor substances in fermented red sour soup were explored based on natural fermentation. Compared to natural fermentation (nitrite: 5.5 mg/kg; amino acid nitrogen: 0.17 g/100 g; lycopene: 63.73 µg/mL), three fortified fermentation methods using L. buchneri, K. bulderi, and both strains together significantly reduced the concentrations of nitrite (2.62, 2.49, and 2.37 mg/kg), amino acid nitrogen (0.03 g/100 g, 0.02 g/100 g, and 0.05 g/100 g), and lycopene (26.64, 32.45, and 51.89 µg/mL). Total acid content (11.53 g/kg) and lactic acid bacteria count (285.9 ± 1.65 × 106 CFU/mL) were the elements most significantly increased by fortified fermentation with L. buchneri relative to other fermentation methods. A total of 99 volatile compounds were determined in red sour soup and could be roughly classified into alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters. Fortified fermentation with two strains and fortified fermentation with K. bulderi increased the content of methyl butanoate and 3-hydroxybutan-2-one-acetoin (D). This study confirmed the effects of L. buchneri and K. bulderi on the quality and flavor of fermented red sour soup and provided a theoretical basis for the fortified fermentation of red sour soup.

Abstract
Microbial communities perform the brewing function in Daqu. Macrogenomics and PICRUST II analyses revealed the differences in microbes and metabolic functions among Daqu from the seven Baijiu-producing provinces. Jiang-flavored Daqu (Guizhou, Shandong, and Hubei provinces) generally forms an aroma-producing functional microbiota with Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, Thermoascus, Virgibacillus, and Thermomyces as the core, which promotes the metabolism of various amino acids and aroma compounds. Light-flavored Daqu (Shanxi Province) enriched the Saccharomycopsis, Saccharomyces, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microbiota through low-temperature fermentation. These microbes can synthesize alcohol and lactic acid but inhibit amino acid metabolism within the Light-flavored Daqu. Bifidobacterium and Saccharomycopsis were dominant in the Tao-flavored Daqu (Henan province). This unique microbial structure is beneficial for pyruvate fermentation to lactate. Research also found that Strong-flavored Daqu from Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces differed significantly. The microbial communities and metabolic pathways within Jiangsu Daqu were similar to those within Jiang-flavored Daqu, but Sichuan Daqu was dominated by Thermoascus, LAB, and Thermoactinomyces. In addition, Spearman correlation analysis indicated that Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, and Thermomyces were not only positively related to flavor metabolism but also negatively correlated with Saccharomycopsis. This research will help establish a systematic understanding of the microbial community and functional characteristics in Daqu.

Abstract
The flavor of black rice wine (BRW) can be diversified by the Xiaoqus, from different regions; however, the functional microbiota that contributes to its flavor remains unclear. Accordingly, this study selected three regional Xiaoqus from Sichuan Dazhu (Q1), Jiangxi Yingtan (Q2), and Hubei Fangxian (Q3) as starters to investigate flavor compounds and microbial communities during BRW brewing. Results indicated that altogether 61 flavor substances were identified, 16 of which were common characteristic flavor compounds (odor activity value > 0.1). Each BRW possessed unique characteristic flavor compounds. O2PLS and Spearman's correlation analysis determined that characteristic flavor compounds of BRW were mainly produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae, non-Saccharomyces yeasts, and lactic acid bacteria, with the common core functional strains being Wickerhamomyces and Pediococcus, and with their unique core functional strain likely causing a unique characteristic flavor. This study could promote the high-quality development of the black rice wine industry.

Abstract
In this study, 21 strains of aroma-producing yeast were isolated from Sichuan paocai juice of farmers in western, eastern and southern Sichuan. One strain, Y3, with the best aroma-producing characteristics, was screened using an olfactory method and a total ester titration method, and was identified as Wickerhamomyces anomalus. The total ester content of Y3 fermentation broth was as high as 1.22 g/L, and there was no white colonies or film on the surface. Meanwhile, the Y3 strain could tolerate 14% salt concentration conditions and grow well in a pH range of 3-4. Through sensory analysis, the fermented mustard with a ratio of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum to Y3 of 1:1 showed the highest overall acceptability. Ethyl acetate with its fruit and wine flavor was also detected in the fermented Sichuan paocai juice with a mixed bacteria ratio of 1:1, analyzed with SPME-GC-MS technology, as well as phenylethyl alcohol, isobutyl alcohol, isothiocyanate eaters, myrcene and dimethyl disulfide. These contributed greatly to the unique flavor of Sichuan paocai. In general, Wickerhamomyces anomalus Y3 enhanced the aroma of the fermented Sichuan paocai.

Abstract
Due to the uncontrolled fermentation process and unstable quality of naturally fermented leaf mustard, inoculated fermentation is receiving more attention. Here, the physicochemical properties, volatile compounds, and microbial community in leaf mustard under natural fermentation (NF) and inoculated fermentation (IF) were analyzed and compared. The contents of total acid, crude fiber, and nitrite of leaf mustard were measured. Headspace-solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and orthogonal projection on latent structure-discriminant analysis were used to analyze the differences of volatile compounds in NF and IF leaf mustard. Moreover, Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing technology was employed to reveal the composition of microbiota. The results showed that the nitrite content in leaf mustard after IF (3.69 mg/kg) was significantly lower than that after NF (4.43 mg/kg). A total of 31 and 25 kinds of volatile components were identified in IF and NF, respectively. Among the detected compounds, 11 compounds caused the differences between IF and NF leaf mustard. The results of inter-group difference analysis showed that there were significant differences in fungal flora between IF and NF samples. Saccharomycetes, Kazachstania, and Ascomycota were the landmark microorganisms in IF leaf mustard and the landmark microorganisms in NF were Mortierellomycota, Sordariomycetes, and Eurotiomycetes. The abundance of probiotics (such as Lactobacillus) in IF leaf mustard (51.22%) was higher than that in NF (35.20%) and the abundance of harmful molds (such as Mortierella and Aspergillus) was opposite. Therefore, IF leaf mustard showed the potential to reduce the content of nitrite and harmful molds and increase the beneficial volatile compounds and probiotics. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Leaf mustard of inoculated fermentation (IF) showed better fermented characteristics than natural fermentation in terms of lower nitrite content, greater beneficial volatile substances, and better potential for increasing probiotics and reducing harmful molds. These results provided a theoretical basis for IF leaf mustard and contributed to the industrial production of fermented leaf mustard.

Abstract
Mouding sufu, a traditional fermented soybean product in China, has been recognized by the public in the southwestern regions of China. To reveal the microbial community succession and their relationship with the flavor formation during the natural fermentation of Mouding sufu, microbial community, non-volatile flavor compounds and volatile flavor compounds were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing, high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography ion migration spectroscopy, respectively. The results showed that Lactobacillus and Klebsiella were the most abundant bacterial genus, whereas the main fungal genera were unclassified-f-Dipodascaeae and Issatchenkia. In addition, Glutamic acid, Aspartic acid, Alanine, Valine, Lysine, Histidine, lactic acid, succinic acid, and acetic acid were the main non-volatile flavor substances. Furthermore, the taste activity values of glutamic acid, aspartic acid and lactic acid reached 132, 68.9, 18.18 at H60, respectively, meaning that umami and sour were the key taste compounds. Simultaneously, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate-M, ethyl propanoate, methyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate-D, ethyl isobutyrate, linalool-M, linalool-D, cis-4-heptenal, 2-methylpropanal were the characteristic volatile flavor of Mouding sufu. Finally, correlation analysis showed that g__Erwinia and g__Acremonium correlated with most of the key aroma compounds. 20 bacteria and 21 fungi were identified as core functional microbe for Mouding sufu production.

Abstract
The hazard of nitrite caused by microorganisms is the main food safety problem in the pickle production. To seek a method to control the nitrite hazards of pickles by regulating microbial community without additional substances, we focused on cold plasma because Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria have different degrees of sensitivity to the sterilization of cold plasma. Using radish pickles as the experimental object, based on colony counting, dynamic monitoring of pH and nitrite, qPCR and high-throughput sequencing, it was found that when the raw material was treated with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma at 40 kV for 60 s, Gram-negative bacteria with the potential to produce nitrite were preferentially sterilized. Meanwhile, Gram-positive bacteria dominated by the lactic acid bacteria were retained to accelerate the acid production rate, initiate the self-degradation of nitrite in advance and significantly reduce the peak value and accumulation of nitrite during the fermentation process of pickled radish. This study preliminarily verified that DBD cold plasma can inhibit the nitrite generation and accelerate the self-degradation of nitrite by regulating the structure and abundance of microbial community in radish pickles, which provides an important reference for the control of nitrite hazards in the fermentation process of pickles without additives.

Abstract
The variations of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and microbial communities of three pickles during storage at 4°C for one week were analyzed by headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS), high-throughput sequencing, and Spearman correlation analysis. A total of 50 VOCs were identified from three pickles. During storage, most alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters decreased, while acids increased, and sulfides, alkenes, and phenols were relatively equal. Firmicutes, Cyanobacteria, and Proteobacteria were the predominant bacterial phyla, and Weissella, Streptophyta, Leuconostoc, Bacillariophyta, and Lactobacillus were the predominant bacterial genera in three pickles. The bacterial diversity level significantly decreased during storage (P < 0.05). Spearman correlation coefficient indicated that Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella were highly correlated with the flavor of pickles, while Bacillariophyta and Streptophyta were highly correlated with the flavor formation of pickles during storage. These results could contribute to a better understanding of the impact of bacteria in flavor formation during pickle storage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In industrial production of suancai, baijiu is commonly used to inhibit the spoilage bacteria and enhance the flavor. However, the effects of baijiu on the microbial diversity and metabolic pathways of suancai are rarely reported in the literature. This study aimed to explore the microbial community, its predicted functional roles, and the metabolites formed during fermentation of Chinese Dongbei suancai fermented using a mixed starter with Chinese baijiu as supplementary material. RESULTS Results showed that Lactobacillus, Enterobacter, and Leuconostoc were the major bacterial genera in the Dongbei suancai fermented by adding baijiu. Linear discriminant analysis effect size indicated that Leuconostoc was the major biomarker in the early stage of fermentation, whereas Lactococcus, Weissella, and Lactobacillus plantarum were biomarkers in the middle and later stages of fermentation. A total of 638 metabolites were detected in suancai fermented by adding baijiu. However, the principal component analysis showed that baijiu significantly affected the metabolites of suancai in the early and later stages of fermentation. Furthermore, 58, 22, and 26 significantly differential metabolites (P < 0.01) were found on day 0, day 2, and day 30 of fermentation respectively. Moreover, Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, and Enterobacter had positive correlations with amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids, alcohols, and esters. Functional analysis implied that carbohydrate, amino acid, energy, and nucleotide metabolism were the major determinants of the characteristics of suancai fermented with baijiu as supplementary material. CONCLUSION Baijiu changed the metabolites of inoculated fermented Dongbei suancai. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Dongcai is loved for its delicious flavor and nutritional value. The microorganisms in Dongcai play a vital role in their flavor, quality, and safety, and the microbial communities of Dongcai vary greatly from region to region. However, it remains unknown what the predominant microorganisms are in different traditional Dongcai and how they affect its flavor. The objective of this study is to explore the microbial diversity of traditional fermented Dongcai in three representative Chinese regions (Tianjin, Sichuan, and Guangzhou) and further assess their microbial functions. The microbial diversity of fermented Dongcai in Guangdong has the lowest diversity compared to fermented Dongcai in Sichuan, which has the highest. The distribution of the main genera of fermented Dongcai varies from region to region, but Carnimonas, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, and Rhodococcus are the dominant genera in common. In addition, halophilic bacteria (HAB, i.e., Halomonas Bacillus, Virgibacillus, etc.) and lactic acid bacteria (LAB, i.e., Weissella and Lactobacillus) are also highly abundant. Of these, Burkholderia-Caballeronia-Paraburkholderia, Rhodococcus, Sphingomonas, Ralstonia, and Chromohalobacter are dominant in the Sichuan samples. In the Tianjin samples, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Virgibacillus, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas are the most abundant. Predictions of microbial metabolic function reveal that carbohydrates, amino acids, polyketides, lipids, and other secondary metabolites are abundantly available for biosynthesis. In addition, the different flavors of the three types of Dongcai may be due to the fact that the abundance of HAB and LAB shows a significant positive correlation with the amounts of important metabolites (e.g., salt, acid, amino nitrogen, and sugar). These results contribute to our understanding of the link between the distinctive flavors of different types of Dongcai and the microorganisms they contain and will also provide a reference for the relationship between microbial communities and flavor substances in semi-fermented pickles.

Inhibition of Perilla frutescens Essential Oil on Pellicle Formation of Candida tropicalis and Pichia kluyveri and Its Effect on Volatile Compounds in Sichuan Pickles. Foods 2023; 12:foods12081593. [PMID: 37107388 PMCID: PMC10137390 DOI: 10.3390/foods12081593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2023] [Revised: 03/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 04/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Pellicle formation is the most typical characteristic of deteriorating fermented vegetable products. Perilla frutescens essential oil (PEO) is widely used as a useful natural preservative. However, few studies have addressed the antifungal activity and mechanism of PEO in pellicle formation microorganisms, and it is still unclear whether it can inhibit pellicle formation and affect its volatile compounds in Sichuan pickles. The current study showed that PEO can inhibit pellicle formation during fermentation of Sichuan pickles as it had significant antifungal activity against the pellicle formation microorganisms Candida tropicalis SH1 and Pichia kluyveri SH2. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PEO against C. tropicalis SH1 and P. kluyveri SH2 was determined to be 0.4 μL/mL, and the minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) were 1.6 μL/mL and 0.8 μL/mL, respectively. The antifungal mechanism was activated as a result of damage to the cell membrane, an increase in the cell permeability, a decrease in the mitochondrial membrane potential, and the inhibition of ATPase activity. Meanwhile, the addition of PEO to Sichuan pickles can enrich the profiles of volatile compounds during fermentation, including limonene, myrcene, 1,8-cineole, linalool, perilla ketone, heptanal, hexanal, α-thujone and β-terpineol and thus improve the overall sensory acceptability. These results indicated that PEO has the potential to be used as a novel food preservative to control pellicle formation in fermented vegetables.

Profiling the composition and metabolic functions of microbial community in pellicle-forming radish paocai. Int J Food Microbiol 2023; 388:110087. [PMID: 36689828 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110087] [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: 10/24/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/08/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
Pellicle formation is an obvious indicator of spoilage and is followed by a loss of flavor in a variety of fermented vegetables. In this study, the pellicle-forming microorganisms were isolated using culture-dependent approaches, then a comparative analysis between the pellicle-forming (PF) radish paocai and normal fermented paocai in the diversity and function of microbial community was conducted by metagenome sequencing. Based on a pairwise t-test and OPLS-DA analysis, diallyl sulfide, (z)-1-allyl-2-(prop-1-en-1-yl) disulfane, and terpineol were considered to be the main components responsible for the unpleasant flavor of PF paocai. Yarrowia spp., Enterobacter spp., and Pichia spp. were the main pellicle-forming microorganisms. All 17 isolated Enterobacter strains showed pectinase-producing and cellulase-producing abilities, and 3 isolated Pichia strains showed gas-producing capacity. According to LEfSe analysis based on metagenomes, unclassified_g__Citrobacter and Yarrowia lipolytica were the uppermost biomarkers that distinguished the PF paocai from normal paocai. Unclassified_g__Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus plantarum were found to be actively engaged in starch and sucrose metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, galactose metabolism, fructose and mannose metabolism, lysine biosynthesis, fatty acid biosynthesis, and arginine biosynthesis, all of which contributed to the flavor formation of paocai. Combining the results of metagenome sequencing with the data obtained based on the culture-dependent method, we could deduce that the growth of Yarrowia lipolytica first promoted the increase of pH and the formation of pellicle, which provided a suitable niche for the growth of some harmful bacteria such as Enterobacter, Citrobacter, and Serratia. These hazardous bacteria then worked in concert to induce the odorous stench and texture softening of paocai, as well as more pellicle formation.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of dense phase carbon dioxide (DPCD) treatment on the organoleptic properties of new-paocai. Optimal DPCD treatment (25 MPa/40 °C/40 min) was determined by conducting single-factor and orthogonal experiments with the sensory, bactericidal, and electronic eye evaluations. DPCD treatment (25 MPa/40 °C/40 min) did not significantly affect the nitrite, pH, total acid, and organic acid of the new-paocai brine, and the texture of the radish slices did not display substantial changes. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was employed to characterize the new-paocai brine flavor, revealing 63 and 60 respective flavor compounds with and without DPCD treatment. In addition, DPCD treatment significantly reduced the total organic volatile compound content in the paocai from 48.182 μg/mL to 35.952 μg/mL, DPCD has a great influence on volatile flavor substances. The electronic nose (E-nose) effectively distinguished the flavor differences in the new-paocai brine with and without DPCD treatment. This study combined new food processing technology with traditional food production, could provide a new idea for pickle production technology.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Fermented capsicum (i.e. pickled pepper) is one of the most popular fermented vegetables. However, the effect of inoculated microbial fermentation on pickled pepper is not yet fully understood. RESULTS Cyberlindnera rhodanensis J52 with a rich ester flavour and Pediococcus pentosaceus AL with a strong inhibitory effect on foodborne pathogenic bacteria were selected to prepare single- and double-strain fermented capsicum under low salt (< 10 g L-1 sodium chloride) conditions. The inhibition zone of P. pentosaceus AL against Escherichia coli was up to 44 mm in diameter. Biochemical indicator analyses found that co-fermentation of P. pentosaceus AL and C. rhodanensis J52 changed the contents of vitamin C and short-chain fatty acids. Analysis of microbial diversity and volatile metabolome showed that 125 microbial species and 72 volatile compounds were detected, and P. pentosaceus was the dominant bacterium that inhibited the growth of other bacteria, while C. rhodanensis was the fungus that contributed the most to flavour. Correlation analysis between microorganisms and flavour compounds showed 725 correlations, and 124 microbial species may have participated in the formation of 69 compounds. Furthermore, 10 and 29 correlations were detected between P. pentosaceus AL or C. rhodanensis J52 and flavour compounds, respectively. Among them, 3-methyl-1-butanol acetate is speculated to be the main substance affecting the flavour of fermented capsicum by inoculation with C. rhodanensis J52. CONCLUSION The inoculation of P. pentosaceus and C. rhodanensis had a significant impact on the microbial community and volatile compounds of fermented capsicum and helped to improve its organoleptic qualities. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Variation in glucosinolates and the formation of functional degradation products in two Brassica species during spontaneous fermentation. Curr Res Food Sci 2023; 6:100493.

Abstract
Vegetables from the Brassica species are excellent sources of glucosinolates (GLSs), the precursors of health-promoting isothiocyanates (ITCs). Fermentation enhances the biotransformation of GLSs into potential bioactive ITCs. To explore the biotransformation of GLSs during Brassica fermentation, the changes in GLSs during the fermentation of two Brassica species (i.e., cauliflower and broccoli); the formation of corresponding breakdown products; and the shifts in physicochemical parameters, bacterial communities, and myrosinase activities involved in GLSs degradation were systematically investigated. Nine aliphatic, three indolic, and two benzenic GLSs were identified in fermented cauliflower (FC) and fermented broccoli (FB). Aliphatic glucoiberin and glucoraphanin were the major forms of GLS in FC and FB, respectively; indolic glucobrassicin was also abundant in both FC and FB. The total GLS content decreased by 85.29% and 65.48% after 3 d of fermentation in FC and FB, respectively. After 2 d of fermentation, a significant increase in bioactive GLS degradation products (P < 0.05), including sulforaphane (SFN), iberin (IBN), 3,3-diindolylmethane (DIM), and ascorbigen (ARG), was observed in FC and FB compared to in fresh cauliflower and broccoli. Moreover, variations in pH value and titratable acidity in FC and FB correlated with Brassica fermentation and were accomplished by lactic acid bacteria, including Weissella, Lactobacillus-related genera, Leuconostoc, Lactococcus, and Streptococcus. These changes may enhance the biotransformation of GSLs to ITCs. Overall, our results indicate fermentation leads to the degradation of GLSs and the accumulation of functional degradation products in FC and FB.

Abstract
This study evaluated the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of ethanol extract of calamansi pulp (CPE) and its effect on quality and biogenic amine (BAs) formation in pork patties during storage. The CPE were prepared in various conditions (ethanol concentrations of 50%, 70%, and 90% with extraction periods of 3 and 6 days). The extract with potent antibacterial and antioxidant activities (90%, 6 days) was selected for addition to pork patties. Three groups were tested: Control (without extract addition), CPE addition at 0.2% w/w (0.2PCPE), and 0.4% w/w (0.4PCPE). The addition of CPE inhibited the formation of BAs, mainly cadaverine, histamine, and tyramine, in pork patties during storage. The pH and bacterial count of pork patties decreased significantly in a concentration-dependent manner following the addition of CPE. The instrumental color (CIE L*, CIE a*, and CIE b*) tended to be higher in 0.4PCPE than in the control during storage. The thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of pork patties were affected by CPE, showing a reduction toward lipid oxidation at any storage period, and maintaining the lowest VBN value in 0.4PCPE at the final storage day. Similarly, the reduction of total BAs in pork patties was observed ranged between 3.4%-38.1% under treatment with 0.2% CPE, whereas 18.4%-51.4% under 0.4% CPE addition, suggesting significant effect of CPE to improve meat quality. These novel findings demonstrate the efficacy of 0.4% CPE as a natural compound to preserve the quality and reduce BAs formation in pork patties during storage.

Abstract
In this study, genomics and metabolomics were combined to reveal possible bio-synthetic pathways of core flavor compounds in pickled chayote via lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation. The Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Levilactobacillus brevis, and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei were selected as core LAB strains with better flavor-producing ability for chayote fermentation. The genomic results showed L. plantarum contained the largest number of metabolism annotated genes, while L. brevis had the fewest. Besides, the largest number of volatile compounds was detected in chayote fermented by L. plantarum, followed by L. brevis and L. paracasei. Some unique odor-active compounds (aldehydes, esters, and alcohols) and taste-active compounds (amino acids and dipeptides) were produced by different LAB strains. Accordingly, phenylalanine metabolic pathway (M00360), amino acid metabolic decomposition pathway (the Ehrlich pathway) and the anabolic pathway (the Harris pathway), and fatty acid biosynthesis pathway (M00061) were the main biosynthesis pathway involved in the flavor formation via LAB fermentation.

Abstract
This study aimed to use a novel Lactobacillus strain (L. apis) isolated from the bee gut to develop a wheat bran (WB) deep-processing technology. Compared to the most popular strains (S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum), we found that L. apis had a greater ability to enhance the fermented WB antioxidant activity through hydroxyl radical scavenging, metal chelating ability, reducing power, and ferric reducing antioxidant power. While L. apis and L. plantarum had similar effects on DPPH• and ABTS•+ scavenging activities. This improvement in antioxidant activity has been associated with some metabolic compounds, such as sinapic acid, hydroferulic acid, pyruvic acid, neocostose, oxalic acid, salicylic acid, and schaftoside. Furthermore, L. apis degraded 48.33% of the phytic acid in WB, higher than S. cerevisiae (26.73%) and L. plantarum (35.89%). All strains improved the volatile profile of WB, and the fermented WB by each strain displayed a unique volatile composition. L. apis increased the level of conditional amino acids and branched-chain amino acids significantly. S. cerevisiae increased γ-aminobutyric acid the most, from 230.8 mg/L in unfermented samples to 609.8 mg/L in the fermented WB. While L. apis and L. plantarum also increased the level of γ-aminobutyric acid to 384.5 mg/L and 295.04 mg/L, respectively. Finally, we found that L. apis remarkably increased the content of organic acids and water-soluble vitamins in wheat bran.

Abstract
Background To enrich the probiotic lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains and expand the commercialization of new fermented juice products, we have identified two LAB strains with excellent potential in fermenting apple juice from pickles. Methods The two strains were morphologically, physiologically, and genetically characterized. The strains' fermentation performance and alterations in volatile aroma components of apple juice and ability to survive in a simulated gastrointestinal environment were evaluated. Results Two strains were identified as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei (WFC 414) and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (WFC 502). The growth of WFC 414 and WFC 502 in apple juice for 48 h reached 8.81 and 9.33 log CFU/mL, respectively. Furthermore, 92% and 95% survival rates were achieved in 2 h simulated gastric juice, and 80.7 and 83.6% survival rates in 4 h simulated intestinal juice. During the fermentation, WFC 414 and WFC 502 reduced the soluble sugars and total polyphenols in apple juice, and consumed malic acid to produce large amounts of lactic acid (3.48 and 5.94 mg/mL). In addition, the esters and aldehydes were reduced, and the production of alcohols, acids and ketones was elevated in the apple juice fermented by both strains. Conclusion These results show that WFC 414 and WFC 502 have great potential applications in the fermented fruit juice industry.

Abstract
The advent of omics has expanded our knowledge of microbial ecology behind Mezcal, a fermented spirit made from the juices of cooked Agave plants (Agave spp., Asparagaceae). Mezcal has been produced in Mexico for over 200 years, however, has been in high demand since its discovery by international markets in the last decade. Mezcal is appreciated for its diverse and complex sensory profile, which is tied to the geographic and environmental diversity of the different Mezcal-producing regions. This regional typicity is brought about by spontaneous fermentation consortia that act in loosely controlled artisanal fermentation processes. Previous works have mainly concentrated on microorganisms involved in the biosynthesis of alcohol and other volatile compounds, or from a different perspective, on culturable microorganisms (mainly yeasts) influencing the taste profile. Attention has been aimed at the richness of microbial populations in point events or under laboratory conditions, which leaves much of the biological richness out of account. Omics techniques have become powerful tools for characterizing the composition of autochthonous fermentation microbiota, regional or endemic features, and ecological processes that determine the dynamics of Mezcal fermentation. The analyses of genetic material, proteins, and metabolites allow disentangling the biological complexity of Mezcal production. This review presents the reader with an up-to-date overview of publications that discuss microbial communities in Mezcal fermentation, metabolic pathways regulated by microbial interactions, and the application of omics to characterize the spontaneous fermenting microbiota conformation and dynamics considering the subjacent ecological processes.

Impact of Inoculating with Indigenous Bacillus marcorestinctum YC-1 on Quality and Microbial Communities of Yibin Yacai (Fermented Mustard) during the Fermentation Process. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223593. [PMID: 36429185 PMCID: PMC9689668 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/29/2022] [Revised: 11/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Bacillus species play an important role in improving the quality of some fermented foods and are also one of the dominant bacteria in Yibin Yacai (fermented mustard). However, little is known about their effects on the quality of Yibin Yacai. Here, the effect of Bacillus marcorestinctum YC-1 on the quality and microbial communities of Yibin Yacai during the fermentation process was investigated. Results indicated that the inoculation of Bacillus marcorestinctum YC-1 promoted the growth of Weissella spp. and Lactobacillus spp. and inhibited the growth of pathogens, accelerating the synthesis of free amino acids and organic acids and the degradation of nitrite. Furthermore, inoculating Yibin Yacai with YC-1 could effectively enhance the synthesis of alcohols and terpenoids in yeasts, thus producing more linalool, terpinen-4-ol, and α-muurolen in Yibin Yacai, and endowing it with pleasant floral, fruity, woody, and spicy aromas. These findings reveal that the inoculation of B. marcorestinctum YC-1 can improve the quality and safety of Yibin Yacai by changing microbial communities as fermentation proceeds.

Abstract
Red Sour Soup (RSS) is a traditional fermented food in China. After two rounds of fermentation, sour soup has a mellow flavor. However, the microbial composition and flavor formation processes in post-fermentation in RSS are unclear. This study investigates the bacteria composition of RSS during the post-fermentation stage (0–180 days) using high-throughput sequencing. The results show that lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are dominant during the post-fermentation process, and their abundance gradually increases with fermentation time. Additionally, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was used to detect volatile flavor compounds in the post-fermentation process. Seventy-seven volatile flavor compounds were identified, including 24 esters, 14 terpenes, 9 aromatic hydrocarbons, 9 alkanes, 6 heterocyclic compounds, 3 alcohols, 3 acids, 3 ketones, 2 phenols, 2 aldehydes, 1 amine, and 1 other. Esters and aromatic hydrocarbons are the main volatile compounds in RSS during the post-fermentation process. Orthogonal partial least squares screening and correlation analysis derived several significant correlations, including 48 pairs of positive correlations and 19 pairs of negative correlations. Among them, Acetobacter spp., Clostridium spp. and Sporolactobacillus spp. have 15, 14, 20 significant correlation pairs, respectively, and are considered the most important bacterial genera post-fermentation. Volatile substances become abundant with increasing fermentation time. LAB are excessive after more than 120 days but cause a drastic reduction in volatile ester levels. Thus, the post-fermentation time should be restricted to 120 days, which retains the highest concentrations of volatile esters in RSS. Overall, these findings provide a theoretical basis to determine an optimal post-fermentation time duration, and identify essential bacteria for manufacturing high-quality starter material to shorten the RSS post-fermentation processing time.
