Abstract
The characteristic aroma compounds of Chinese steamed bread (CSB) fermented with different starters were studied using HS-SPME-GC/MS, aroma recombination and omission experiments. The dynamic changes of the microbiota and their function and metabolites during fermentation were analyzed using metagenomics and non-targeted metabolomics. Forty-nine volatile flavor compounds were identified, while 5 characteristic aroma-active compounds were investigated in CSB fermented with commercial dry yeast (AQ-CSB), and 10 were investigated in CSB fermented with traditional starter (NY-CSB). Microbial structure and function analysis showed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominated during AQ-CSB fermentation and contributed >95% to its KEGG pathways, while Pediococcus pentosaceus, unclassified Pediococcus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus brevis and unclassified Lactobacillus were predominant in NY-CSB and together had an ~96% contribution to these pathways. NY-CSB showed higher metabolic activity during fermentation, and the characteristic metabolites were mainly involved in carbohydrate, amino acid and lipid metabolism. The characteristic aroma compounds were identified and increased the understanding of the contributions of the microbiota. This may be useful for designing starter cultures that produce CSB with desirable aroma properties.

Abstract
The unique flavors of fermented foods significantly influence consumer purchasing choices, prompting widespread scientific interest in the flavor development process. Fermented rice and wheat foods are known for their unique flavors and they occupy an important place in the global diet. Many of these are produced on an industrial scale using starter cultures, whereas others rely on spontaneous fermentation, homemade production, or traditional activities. Microorganisms are key in shaping the sensory properties of fermented products through different metabolic pathways, thus earning the title "the essence of fermentation." Therefore, this study systematically summarizes the key microbial communities and their interactions that contribute positively to iconic fermented rice and wheat foods, such as steamed bread, bread, Mifen, and rice wine. This study revealed the mechanism by which these core microbial communities affect flavor and revealed the strategies of core microorganisms and related enzymes to enhance flavor during fermentation.

Unraveling chemical changes associated with the sensory quality of Chinese steamed bread as altered by wheat flour type. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114661.

Abstract
Chinese steamed bread (CSB) is an important staple of the Chinese people, and its flavor profile is mostly affected by wheat varieties among others. This study selected wheat flour made from three different wheat varieties and investigated their contribution to the CSB flavor profile in terms of metabolism. Thirteen aroma-active compounds identified by GC-O were determined as the main contributors to the different aroma profiles of three CSBs. 350 sensory trait-related metabolites were obtained from five key modules via weighted gene co-expression network analysis. It was found that the sensory characteristics of CSBs made of different wheat flour were significantly different. The higher abundance of lipids in Yongliang No.4 (YL04) wheat flour was converted to large number of fatty acids in fermented dough, which led to the bitterness of CSB. Besides, the abundance in organic acids and fatty acids contributed to the sour, milky, wetness and roughness attributes of YL04-CSB. More fatty amides and flavonoids in Jiangsu Red Durum wheat flour contributed to the fermented and winey attributes of CSB. Carbohydrates with higher abundance in Canadian wheat flour was involved in sugar-amine reaction and glucose conversion, which enhanced the sweetness of CSB. In addition, fatty acids, organic acids, amino acids, and glucose were crucial metabolites which can further formed into various characteristic compounds such as hexanal, hexanol, 2,3-butanediol, acetoin, and 2,3-butanedione and thus contributed to the winey, fresh sweet, and green aroma properties. This study is conductive to better understand the evolution of the compounds that affect the quality and aroma of CSBs.

Abstract
The present study investigated the impact of four chicken liver protein hydrolysate-based cat food attractants on palatability. Aroma compounds were analyzed in these attractants, which were subsequently sprayed onto four different types of cat foods. Results revealed that CF4 exhibited the highest intake ratio and the first choice ratio, followed by CF2 sample. Orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) demonstrated significant differences among 50 volatile compounds identified from the four cat foods. Using variable importance in projection (VIP) values, we selected 17 key flavor compounds responsible for distinguishing between the four cat foods. Peptides with a molecular mass <180 Da showed correlation with nonanoic acid and cedrol, while those >3000 Da correlated with hexanoic acid ethyl ester. Regression coefficients (RCs) calculated from partial least-squares regression (PLSR) results showed positive correlations between compound content and palatability for six compounds, whereas negative correlations were observed for ten compounds. Validation experiments confirmed that nonanal, 2-propylpyridine, and 3-octen-2-one enhanced palatability and correlated with peptides ranging from 180 to 500 Da; conversely, nonanoic acid ethyl ester and 3-methyl-pentanoic acid reduced palatability and correlated with peptides ranging from 1000 to 3000 Da.

Difference comparison of characteristic aroma compounds between braised pork cooked by traditional open-fire and induction cooker and the potential formation cause under electromagnetic cooking.

Abstract
The characteristic aroma compounds of braised pork were identified through molecular sensory science and PLSR analysis, and the difference between two cooking methods, traditional open-fire (BPF) and induction cooker (BPC), was compared. Seventeen aroma compounds with odor activity values (OAVs) > 1 were identified in both samples. BPF revealed higher OAVs for most of the aroma compounds compared to BPC, and the higher aroma quality. Aroma recombination and omission experiments confirmed that twelve aroma compounds significantly contributed to the characteristic aroma of braised pork, and eight compounds such as hexanal, (E)-2-octenal, and methanethiol were further confirmed as important contributors by PLSR analysis. Furthermore, PLSR analysis clarified the role of aldehydes such as hexanal, (E)-2-octenal, and (E,E)-2,4-decadienal in contributing to fatty attribute, whereas methanethiol was responsible for the meaty aroma. These characteristic aroma compounds mainly derived from lean meat due to its high content of phospholipids, and the exogenous seasonings contributed to the balanced characteristic aroma profile of braised pork by altering the distribution of these characteristic aroma compounds. Variations in heating parameters affected the formation of lipid oxidation and Strecker degradation products, which might explain aroma discrepancy between braised pork cooked by two methods with different heat transfer efficiencies.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effects of germination and roasting on the flavor of quinoa. Firstly, the aroma of quinoa and germinated quinoa roasted under different conditions was analyzed using sensory evaluation and electronic nose (E-nose). Results showed that the best favorable aroma of quinoa and germinated quinoa was obtained when roasted at 160 °C for 15 min. Then, a total of 34 and 80 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of quinoa and germinated quinoa roasted at 160 °C for 15 min were determined using headspace-gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), respectively. Germination and roasting effectively reduced the contents of VOCs that produced undesirable flavor. Moreover, germination improved the floral aromas, while roasting mainly produced caramel, cocoa, and roasted nut aromas of quinoa. This study indicated that germination and roasting treatments might serve as promising processing methods to improve the flavor of quinoa.

Abstract
Flammulina filiformis (F. filiformis) is called the 'benefiting intelligence' mushroom. There is a notable difference between a yellow cultivar (with a robust aroma) and a white mutant cultivar (with a high yield) of F. filiformis. A thorough analysis of aroma differences is essential to improve the aroma of high-yield strains. This study employed a combination of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry (GC-MS-O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) to analyze the variations in aroma compounds. Then, the contribution of the odorants was determined using flavor dilution (FD) factors and odor activity values (OAVs). Aroma omission and recombination experiments were used to identify the key odorants. A total of 16 key aroma compounds were characterized in F. filiformis, along with four eight-carbon volatiles (3-octanone, 3-octanol, octanal, and 1-octen-3-ol). Finally, the dominant aroma characteristic was "sweet" for the yellow strain, while it was "green" for the white strain. More research is required to investigate the enzymes and corresponding genes that regulate the synthesis of aroma compounds in F. filiformis for future breeding programs.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:4102.

Abstract
Understory planting affects the growth environment of tea plants, regulating the tea plant growth and the formation of secondary metabolites, which in turn affects the flavor of Xiaobai white tea. The present research adopted biochemical composition determination, widely targeted volatilities (WTV) analysis, multivariate statistical analysis, and odor activity value (OAV) analysis to analyze the characteristics in the macro-composition and volatile compounds of understory white tea. The sensory evaluation results indicated that understory Xiaobai white tea (LWTs) was stronger than ordinary Xiaobai white tea (PWTs) in terms of the taste of smoothness, sweetness, and thickness as well as the aromas of the flower and sweet. Understory planting reduced light intensity and air temperature, increased air humidity, organic matter, total nitrogen, and available nitrogen contents, which improved the growth environment of tea plants. The phytochemical analysis showed that the water-extractable substances, caffeine, flavonoids, and soluble sugar contents of understory tea fresh-leaf (LF) were higher than those of ordinary fresh-leaf (PF). The phytochemical analysis showed that the free amino acids, theaflavins, thearubigins, water-extractable substances, and tea polyphenols contents of LWTs were significantly higher than those of PWTs, which may explain the higher smoothness, sweetness, and thickness scores of LWTs than those of PWTs. The 2-heptanol, 2-decane, damasone, and cedar alcohol contents were significantly higher in LWTs than in PWTs, which may result in stronger flowery and sweet aromas in LWTs than in PWTs. These results provide a firm experimental basis for the observed differences in the flavor of LWTs and PWTs.

Abstract
To reveal the underlying mechanism of enhanced volatiles of whole wheat steamed bread, the current study screened Saccharomyces cerevisiae Y5 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L7 from sourdough and studied the synergetic effect of cofermentation on the volatiles of steamed bread and fermented dough by comparative transcriptome analysis. Cofermentation significantly improved the types and concentration of volatiles in addition to the improved specific volume and texture. Genes involved in galactose, starch, and glucose metabolism and genes encoding pyruvate oxidase and β-galactosidase were significantly upregulated in S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum, respectively. Expression of the OPT2 encoding oligopeptide transporter in S. cerevisiae was upregulated, which facilitated the transmembrane transport of oligopeptide and amino acid into yeast cells. Genes involved in the synthesis and metabolism of amino acids, lipids, and ester compounds in L. plantarum changed significantly, and gene encoding acetic acid kinase was upregulated. Moreover, the quorum sensing-related genes in S. cerevisiae and L. plantarum were upregulated.

Abstract
Chinese steamed bread (CSB) made with commercial yeasts and traditional Chinese sourdoughs was analyzed for the flavor and microbial communities. Sensory attributes were assessed using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Results showed that commercial yeast CSB-1 (JMMT1), a yeast-based sample, had stronger milky and sweet attributes, while commercial yeast CSB-2 (JMMT2) had more pronounced yeasty attributes. Among the sourdough-based samples, Shandong traditional sourdough steamed bread (SDMT) exhibited a winelike character with a weak sweet aftertaste, whereas Shanxi traditional sourdough steamed bread (SXMT) had a distinct sour attribute and a less prominent floury taste. SAFE-GC-O-MS analysis identified 40 aroma compounds with FD values ≥2, including 33 key aroma compounds with an OAV of ≥1. Compounds such as 2,3-butanediol, decanal, methyl isobutenyl ketone, gamma-nonanolactone, ethyl caprate, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, vanillin, and indole contributed significantly to the diverse aroma profiles. High-throughput sequencing revealed dominant strains: Bacillus in JMMT1, Lactobacillus in JMMT2, Bacillus in SDMT, and Lactobacillus in SXMT. Over two-thirds of the aroma compounds showed correlations with microorganisms. Notably, Acetobacter exhibited a highly significant correlation with butanoic acid, while Lactobacillus played a significant role in the formation of ester flavors. These findings contribute to the flavor evaluation and microbial community analysis of steamed bread made with different leavening agents, providing valuable insights into their relationship.

Microbiota structure of traditional starters from around the Tai-hang mountains and their influence on the fermentation properties, aroma profile and quality of Chinese steamed bread. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2023; 103:5116-5125.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Steamed bread is a popular staple food in China, and the significant regional differences of the microbiota in traditional starters make the flavor and quality of steamed bread highly variable along with long preparation times. Therefore, analyzing the microbial flora of traditional starters and their influences on the flavor and quality may help to solve the problems mentioned earlier, and it may also be conducive to potentially meet consumer needs and permit industrialization of this traditional fermented food. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-two fungal and 50 bacterial species were identified in five traditional starters, each with a different dominant genus. The fermentation properties of dough showed that total titratable acid, dough volume and gas production increased and the pH decreased with fermentation time. The traditional starters improved the quality of Chinese steamed bread (CSB) including the crumb structure, specific volume and sensory attributes. Thirty-three aroma compounds with a VIP (variable importance for the projection) > 1 were identified as characteristic aroma compounds. The correlations among the microbiota, aroma and qualities of CSB showed a greater contribution from the bacteria, which was consistent with the predictions of metabolic pathways in the sequenced genomes. CONCLUSION The quality of CSB fermented with traditional starters was improved induced by their different microbial profiles, and bacteria made a greater contribution than fungus to the aroma and qualities of CSB. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chinese steamed bread (CSB) is a popular staple food in China with traditional ethnic characteristics. CSB with traditional starters has good flavor and texture but is unstable and requires a long preparation time. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze the traditional starters (ST) and their influence on the flavor and quality of steamed bread to meet people's requirements as a staple food. RESULTS The count of yeast, lactic acid bacteria and total microbial population significantly varied in different traditional starters; Saccharomyces and Lactobacillus were the predominant genera. Among the tested samples, fungi were found in ST from Shijiazhuang (SJ), Handan (HD) and Langfang (LF), while bacteria were found in ST from Tangshan (TS) and SJ at sub-predominant levels. In terms of the bread quality, the highest specific volume and porosity were in XT-CSB (Xingtai); the highest height/diameter ratio was in SJ-CSB; and the highest sensory score was in TS-CSB. A total of 26 aroma compounds (VIP > 1; variable importance for predictive components) were identified to discriminate CSB fermented with different starters, which were separated by stepwise canonical discriminant analysis using two functions. The correlation analysis among microbiota, aroma compounds and bread quality showed a higher contribution of bacteria than of fungi. CONCLUSION Differences in microbial profiles caused different aroma profiles and quality of CSB; and the CSB fermented with traditional starters were sufficiently separated by stepwise canonical discriminant analysis based on aroma compounds. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Alkali is an indispensable additive in Chinese steamed bread (CSB) production. This work aimed to evaluate the key roles of alkali in the microbial community of dough fermented using Chinese traditional starter (CTS) and the aroma profiles of CSB. The dominant fungi in CTS and fermented dough were members of the phylum Ascomycota and the genus Saccharomyces. Pediococcus, Companilactobacillus, and Weissella were the dominant bacterial genera in CTS and fermented dough. Adding alkali could retain the types of dominant yeasts and LAB derived from CTS, decrease the relative abundance of Companilactobacillus crustorum and Weissella cibaria, and increase that of Pediococcus pentosaceus, in fermented dough. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that adding alkali decreased the content of sourness-related volatiles in CSB fermented by CTS. Correlation analysis showed that Pediococcus and Weissella in fermented dough were positively correlated with the lipid oxidation flavor-related compounds in CSB, and Lactobacillus was positively correlated with sourness-related aroma compounds. Synthetic microbial community experiments indicated that CSB fermented by the starter containing P. pentosaceus possessed a strong aroma, and adding alkali weakened the flavor intensity. Alkali addition could promote the formation of ethyl acetate and methyl acetate with a pleasant fruity aroma in W. cibaria-associated CSB.
