Autochthonous cultures to improve the quality of PGI Castellano cheese: Impact on proteolysis, microstructure and texture during ripening. Food Res Int 2024; 186:114306.

Abstract
The aim of this research was to find out the effect of different combinations of starter and non-starter cultures on the proteolysis of Castellano cheese during ripening. Four cheese batches were prepared, each containing autochthonous lactobacilli and or Leuconostoc, and were compared with each other and with a control batch, that used only a commercial starter. To achieve this, nitrogen fractions (pH 4.4-soluble nitrogen and 12 % trichloroacetic acid soluble nitrogen, polypeptide nitrogen and casein nitrogen), levels of free amino acids and biogenic amines were assessed. Texture and microstructure of cheeses were also evaluated. Significant differences in nitrogen fractions were observed between batches at different stages of ripening. The free amino acid content increased throughout the cheese ripening process, with a more significant increase occurring after the first 30 days. Cheeses containing non-starter lactic acid bacteria exhibited the highest values at the end of the ripening period. Among the main amino acids, GABA was particularly abundant, especially in three of the cheese batches at the end of ripening. The autochthonous lactic acid bacteria were previously selected as non-producers of biogenic amines and this resulted in the absence of these compounds in the cheeses. Analysis of the microstructure of the cheese reflected the impact of proteolysis. Additionally, the texture profile analysis demonstrated that the cheese's hardness intensified as the ripening period progressed. The inclusion of autochthonous non-starter lactic acid bacteria in Castellano cheese production accelerated the proteolysis process, increasing significantly the free amino acids levels and improving the sensory quality of the cheeses.

Abstract
Diabetes is a metabolic disease due to impaired or defective insulin secretion and is considered one of the most serious chronic diseases worldwide. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring non-protein amino acid commonly present in a wide range of foods. A number of studies documented that GABA has good anti-diabetic potential. This review summarized the available dietary sources of GABA as well as animal and human studies on the anti-diabetic properties of GABA, while also discussing the underlying mechanisms. GABA may modulate diabetes through various pathways such as inhibiting the activities of α-amylase and α-glucosidase, promoting β-cell proliferation, stimulating insulin secretion from β-cells, inhibiting glucagon secretion from α-cells, improving insulin resistance and glucose tolerance, and increasing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. However, further mechanistic studies on animals and human are needed to confirm the therapeutic effects of GABA against diabetes.

Analysis of the effect of Tenebrio Molitor rennet on the flavor formation of Cheddar cheese during ripening based on gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). Food Res Int 2023; 171:113074. [PMID: 37330834 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113074] [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: 03/13/2023] [Revised: 05/28/2023] [Accepted: 05/29/2023] [Indexed: 06/19/2023]
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential application of Tenebrio Molitor rennet (TMR) in Cheddar cheese production, and to use gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) to monitor flavor compounds and fingerprints of cheese during ripening. The results indicated that Cheddar cheese prepared from TMR (TF) has fat content significantly lower than that of commercial rennet (CF) (p < 0.05). However, the results of the sensory evaluation showed that there were no statistically significant differences between the two kinds of cheese (p > 0.05). Both cheeses were rich in free amino acids and free fatty acids. Compared to the CF cheese, gamma-aminobutyric acid and Ornithine contents of the TF cheese reached 187 and 749 mg/kg, respectively, during 120 days of ripening. Moreover, GC-IMS provided information on the characteristics of 40 flavor substances (monomers and dimers) in the TF cheese during ripening. Only 30 flavor substances were identified in the CF cheese. The fingerprint of the two kinds of cheese during ripening can be established by GC-IMS and principal component analysis based on the identified flavor compounds. Therefore, TMR has potential application in Cheddar cheese production. GC-IMS might be applied for the quick, accurate and comprehensive monitoring of cheese flavor during ripening.
