Contributions of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) Produced by Lactic Acid Bacteria on Food Quality and Human Health: Current Applications and Future Prospects. Foods 2024; 13:2437. [PMID: 39123629 PMCID: PMC11311711 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152437] [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: 06/10/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The need to increase food safety and improve human health has led to a worldwide increase in interest in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), produced by lactic acid bacteria (LABs). GABA, produced from glutamic acid in a reaction catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), is a four-carbon, non-protein amino acid that is increasingly used in the food industry to improve the safety/quality of foods. In addition to the possible positive effects of GABA, called a postbiotic, on neuroprotection, improving sleep quality, alleviating depression and relieving pain, the various health benefits of GABA-enriched foods such as antidiabetic, antihypertension, and anti-inflammatory effects are also being investigated. For all these reasons, it is not surprising that efforts to identify LAB strains with a high GABA productivity and to increase GABA production from LABs through genetic engineering to increase GABA yield are accelerating. However, GABA's contributions to food safety/quality and human health have not yet been fully discussed in the literature. Therefore, this current review highlights the synthesis and food applications of GABA produced from LABs, discusses its health benefits such as, for example, alleviating drug withdrawal syndromes and regulating obesity and overeating. Still, other potential food and drug interactions (among others) remain unanswered questions to be elucidated in the future. Hence, this review paves the way toward further studies.

Abstract
In recent decades, given the important role of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in human health, scientists have paid great attention to the enrichment of this chemical compound in food using various methods, including microbial fermentation. Moreover, GABA or GABA-rich products have been successfully commercialized as food additives or functional dietary supplements. Several microorganisms can produce GABA, including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Among GABA-producing microorganisms, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are commonly used in the production of many fermented foods. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum) is a LAB species that has a long history of natural occurrence and safe use in a wide variety of fermented foods and beverages. Within this species, some strains possess not only good pro-technological properties but also the ability to produce various bioactive compounds, including GABA. The present review aims, after a preliminary excursus on the function and biosynthesis of GABA, to provide an overview of the current uses of microorganisms and, in particular, of L. plantarum in the production of GABA, with a detailed focus on fermented foods. The results of the studies reported in this review highlight that the selection of new probiotic strains of L. plantarum with the ability to synthesize GABA may offer concrete opportunities for the design of new functional foods.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a naturally occurring potential bioactive compound present in plants, microorganisms, animals, and humans. Especially, as a main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, GABA possesses a broad spectrum of promising bioactivities. Thus, functional foods enriched with GABA have been widely sought after by consumers. However, the GABA levels in natural foods are usually low, which cannot meet people's demand for health effects. With the increasing public awareness on the food securities and naturally occurring processes, using enrichment technologies to elevate the GABA contents in foods instead of exogenous addition can enhance the acceptability of health-conscious consumers. Herein, this review provides a comprehensive insight on the dietary sources, enrichment technologies, processing effects of GABA, and its applications in food industry. Furthermore, the various health benefits of GABA-enriched foods, mainly including neuroprotection, anti-insomnia, anti-depression, anti-hypertensive, anti-diabetes, and anti-inflammatory are also summarized. The main challenges for future research on GABA are related to exploring high GABA producing strains, enhancing the stability of GABA during storage, and developing emerging enrichment technologies without affecting food quality and other active ingredients. A better understanding of GABA may introduce new windows for its application in developing functional foods.

Abstract
Abalone viscera, which accounts for more than 20% of the total weight of abalone, is generally regarded as waste in the food industry, and effective methods are required to utilize it productively. In this study, the viscera were fermented with Aspergillus oryzae 001 to add functionality. Fermented abalone viscera exhibited increased angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activity and enhanced inhibition of blood pressure elevation in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Abalone viscera administration had no significant effect on body weight, food intake, liver and kidney weights, or serum components in SHRs. ACE inhibitors specific to fermented abalone viscera were identified through extraction, fractionation, purification, and analysis. The identified substance was L-m-tyrosine, which non-competitively inhibited ACE and, in a single oral administration, significantly reduced blood pressure in SHRs compared to that in the control. This study identified that abalone viscera fermented by A. oryzae 001 has an inhibitory effect on blood pressure elevation, suggesting its potential use as a functional food. In addition, L-m-tyrosine, a unique substance in fermented abalone viscera, was isolated for the first time as a single ACE-inhibitory amino acid.

Abstract
Hypertension is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and premature death worldwide. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has potential in regulating hypertension. Cocoa beans are rich in GABA, but GABA is being destroyed during roasting of cocoa beans and chocolate production. This study aimed to develop GABA-enriched dark chocolate by partially replacing sugar syrup with pure GABA powder at concentrations of 0.05 (F1), 0.10 (F2), and 0.15% (F3). The chocolate samples were incorporated with GABA after the heating and melting process of cocoa butter to maintain the viability and functionality of the GABA in the final product. The effects of GABA enrichment on the quality of chocolate in terms of nutritional, physical, shelf-life, and sensorial properties were studied. The inclusion of 0.15% GABA significantly increased the GABA content and angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitory effect of chocolate. The nutritional compositions of the control and GABA-enriched chocolates were almost similar. The addition of GABA significantly increased the hardness but did not affect the apparent viscosity and melting properties of chocolate. Accelerated shelf-life test results showed that all the chocolates stored at 20 and 30 °C were microbiologically safe for consumption for at least 21 days. Among the GABA-enriched chocolates, panellists preferred F2 the most followed by F3 and F1, owing to the glossiness and sweetness of F2. F3 with the highest GABA content (21.09 mg/100 g) and ACE inhibitory effect (79.54%) was identified as the best GABA-enriched dark chocolate.

Abstract
Tempe is chosen as the main ingredient of tempe drink powder (TDP) due to its protein digestibility, phytochemical compounds, as well as vitamins and minerals. Previous studies had been conducted to develop TDP formula. The commercial TDP formula showed that improvement of quality aspects needs to be done so the product has better physical and chemical characteristics. In order to optimize the TDP formula, the viscosity, water solubility index (WSI), water absorption index (WAI), sedimentation index (SI), proximate, antioxidant activity, isoflavone content, GABA content, and physicochemical properties were analyzed. The optimized formula was done using the mixture experiment optimization method with optimization d-optimal to obtain the best formula. The optimization result showed that the best formula proportion consisted of 70% (w/w) Tempe flour, 18.23% (w/w) maltodextrin and 1.77% (w/w) guar gum. The best formula was chosen due to having better chemical characteristics compared with the commercial TDP and commercial soy drink powder (SDP), with protein content of 42.61%, antioxidant activity of 58.36 mgAEAC/100g, daidzein and genistein isoflavones of each 48.18 and 140.06 mg/100g and GABA of 21.24 mg/g. Based on the physical characteristics, the optimum formula had a lower viscosity value (18.67 cP) and WAI (2.58g/g) as well as a higher SI value (10.18%) and WSI (9.70%) compared with the commercial TDP. The optimum TDP formula has fulfilled the quality requirements based on the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 7612:2011) regarding soy drink powder.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) has several health-promoting qualities, leading to a growing demand for natural GABA production via microbial fermentation. The GABA-producing abilities of the new Tetragenococcus halophilus (THSK) isolated from a commercial soy sauce moromi were proven in this investigation. Under aerobic conditions, the isolate produced 293.43 mg/L of GABA after 5 days of cultivation, compared to 217.13 mg/L under anaerobic conditions. Critical parameters such as pH, monosodium glutamate (MSG), and sodium chloride (NaCl) concentrations were examined to improve GABA yield. MSG had the most significant impact on GABA and GABA synthesis was not suppressed even at high NaCl concentrations. Data showed that a pH of 8, MSG content of 5 g/L, and 20% NaCl were the best culture conditions. The ultimate yield was improved to 653.101 mg/L, a 2.22-fold increase (293.43 mg/L). This design shows that the bacteria THSK has industrial GABA production capability and can be incorporated into functional food.

Abstract
Fermentation has been used since the Early Neolithic period to preserve foods. It has inherent organoleptic and nutritive properties that bestow health benefits, including reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, supporting the growth of salutogenic microbiota, enhancing intestinal mucosal protection and promoting beneficial immunometabolic health effects. The fermentation of food with specific microbiota increases the production salutogenic bioactive compounds that can activate Nrf2 mediated cytoprotective responses and mitigate the effects of the 'diseasome of aging' and its associated inflammageing, which presents as a prominent feature of obesity, type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. This review discusses the importance of fermented food in improving health span, with special reference to cardiometabolic diseases.

Abstract
In the present study, we investigated the impacts of ultrasonic conditions on the phytochemical profiles, antioxidant activity, and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD) activities in coffee leaves. Ultrasonic frequency, power, and time, pH, and incubation time affected PPO and POD differently, thus resulting in different ABTS scavenging capacity and phenolic content in coffee leaves. Triple-frequency (20/35/50 kHz) ultrasound significantly (P < 0.05) inhibited trigonelline, caffeine, mangiferin, rutin, chlorogenic acids, antioxidant activity, and PPO activity, while the single frequency of 35 kHz increased the phenolics compounds, which was associated with the lowest POD activity. Increasing the incubation time after ultrasonication gradually decreased phenolic compounds and antioxidant activities, however, POD activity followed a temporal pattern of first increase and then decrease. Our results showed that PPO and POD were temporally inactivated after ultrasonication, which leading to the continuous decrease of phenolics in coffee leaves.

Abstract
γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a potent bioactive amino acid, and several studies have shown that oral administration of GABA induces relaxation, improves sleep, and reduces psychological stress and fatigue. In a recent study, we reported that exosomes derived from GABA-treated intestinal cells serve as signal transducers that mediate brain–gut interactions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to verify the functionality of GABA-derived exosomes and to examine the possibility of improving memory function following GABA administration. The results showed that exosomes derived from GABA-treated intestinal cells (Caco-2) activated neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y) by regulating genes related to neuronal cell functions. Furthermore, we found that exosomes derived from the serum of GABA-treated mice also activated SH-SY5Y cells, indicating that exosomes, which are capable of activating neuronal cells, circulate in the blood of mice orally administered GABA. Finally, we performed a microarray analysis of mRNA isolated from the hippocampus of mice that were orally administered GABA. The results revealed changes in the expression of genes related to brain function. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) showed that oral administration of GABA affected the expression of genes related to memory function in the hippocampus.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is an important non-protein amino acid with wide-ranging applications. Currently, GABA can be produced by a variety of methods, including chemical synthesis, plant enrichment, enzymatic methods, and microbial production. Among these methods, microbial production has gained increasing attention to meet the strict requirements of an additive in the fields of food, pharmaceutical, and livestock. In addition, renewable and abundant resources, such as glucose and lignocellulosic biomass can also be used for GABA microbial production under mild and environmentally friendly processing conditions. In this review, the applications, metabolic pathways and physiological functions of GABA in different microorganisms were firstly discussed. A comprehensive overview of the current status of process engineering strategies for enhanced GABA production, including fermentation optimization and whole-cell conversion from different feedstocks by various host strains is also provided. We also presented the state-of-the-art achievements in strain development strategies for industrial lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Corynebacterium glutamicum and Escherichia coli to enhance the performance of GABA bioproduction. In order to use bio-based GABA in the fields of food and pharmaceutical, some Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) strains such as LAB and C. glutamicum will be the promising chassis hosts. Toward the end of this review, current challenges and valuable research directions/strategies on the improvements of process and strain engineering for economic microbial production of GABA are also suggested.
