JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2024; 104:5735-5750. [PMID: 38441287 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.13398] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 03/20/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND During the brewing of soy sauce, the conversion of multiple substances is driven by various microorganisms and their secreted enzyme systems. Soy sauce mash is an important source of enzyme systems during moromi fermentation, but the changes of enzyme systems in soy sauce mash during moromi fermentation are poorly understood. In order to explore the predominant enzyme systems existing during moromi fermentation and to explain the characteristics of the enzyme system changes, an enzymatic activities assay and 4D-label-free proteomics analysis were conducted on soy sauce mash at different stages of fermentation. RESULTS The activities of hydrolytic enzymes in soy sauce mash decreased continuously throughout the fermentation process, while most of the characteristic physicochemical substances in soy sauce mash supernatant had already accumulated at the early stage of fermentation. Four hydrolytic enzymes were found to be positively correlated with important physicochemical indexes by principal component analysis and Pearson correlation analysis. The proteomics analysis revealed three highly upregulated enzymes and two enzymes that were present in important metabolic pathways throughout the fermentation process. Furthermore, it was found that Aspergillus oryzae was able to accumulate various nutrients in the soy sauce mash by downregulating most of its metabolic pathways. CONCLUSION Enzymes present with excellent properties during the moromi fermentation period could be obtained from these results. Meanwhile, the characterization of the metabolic pathways of microorganisms during the moromi fermentation period was revealed. The results provide a basis for more scientific and purposeful improvement of moromi fermentation in the future. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Food Res Int 2024; 177:113756. [PMID: 38225154 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.113756] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/10/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/17/2024]
Abstract
The flavor regulation of soy sauce fermented in winter is imminent challenge for the industry, while fermentation temperature is considered as an effective method to fortify soy sauce flavor. Thus, industrial-level fermentation systems with controlled temperature at 30°C (SSCT) and regular temperature (SSRT) in winter were designed to elucidate molecular basis and microbial regulatory mechanism of temperature-controlled flavor enhancement of soy sauce. Sensory evaluation suggested 30°C fermentation enhanced caramel-like, floral, fruity, roasted nut and smoky aroma. A total of 160 volatiles were identified, of which 39 components were evaluated for odor activity value (OAV). Eleven volatiles were determined as the odor markers distinguishing the aroma profiles of SSRT and SSCT, among which 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF, caramel-like), β-damascenone (floral), ethyl 2-methylpropanoate (fruity), ethyl acetate (fruity) and 2/3-methyl-1-butanol (malty, alcoholic) were largely responsible for the flavor enhancement. Moreover, high-throughput sequencing results demonstrated the temperature intervention induced more differential bacterial structure (R = 0.324, P = 0.001) than fungal structure (R = 0.069, P = 0.058). Correlation analysis revealed dominant and low-abundance genus together drove the formation and variation of volatile profile, particularly Weissella, Tetragenococcus, Starmerella and Pediococcus. Representatively, the formation pathways of key aroma substances HDMF and 5-ethyl-4-hydroxy-2-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HEMF) were elaborated. Both temperature-mediated abiotic reactions and gene functions of microbiota were proposed to favor the yields of HDMF and C5 precursor of HEMF, whereas the small populations of Zygosaccharomyces and insufficient acetaldehyde limited the elevation of the HEMF level through the biosynthesis pathway. This study provided the practical and theoretical basis for the industrial applications of temperature control in soy sauce fermentation.

Abstract
Microbial inoculation in moromi fermentation has a great influence on the physicochemical and flavour properties of soy sauces. This work investigated the effect of inoculating Tetragenococcus halophilus and Wickerhamomyces anomalus on the flavour formation of early-stage moromi (30 days) fermented at a lower temperature (22 °C) by determining their physicochemical and aroma changes. The results showed that single yeast or LAB inoculation increased the production of amino nitrogen, lactic acid and acetic acid, as well as free amino acids and key flavour components. Particularly, the sequential inoculation of T. halophilus and W. anomalus produced more free amino acids and aromatic compounds, and there might be synergistic effects between these two strains. More characteristic soy sauce flavour compounds, such as benzaldehyde, HEMF, guaiacol and methyl maltol were detected in the sequentially inoculated moromi, and this sample showed higher scores in savoury, roasted and caramel intensities. These results confirmed that sequential inoculation of T. halophilus and W. anomalus could be a choice for the future production of moromi with good flavour and quality under a lower temperature.

Abstract
During the fermentation of soy sauce, the metabolism of microorganisms and the Maillard reaction produce a wide variety of metabolites that contribute to the unique and rich flavor characteristics of soy sauce, such as amino acids, organic acids and peptides. Amino acid derivatives, a relatively new taste compounds, formed by the reaction of enzymes or non-enzymes from sugars, amino acids, and organic acids released through metabolism by microorganisms during soy sauce fermentation, have begun to gain more and more attention in recent years. This review focused on our existing knowledge of the sources, taste characteristics and synthesis methods of the 6 categories of amino acid derivatives, including Amadori compounds, γ-glutamyl peptides, pyroglutamyl amino acids, N-lactoyl amino acids, N-acetyl amino acids and N-succinyl amino acids. Sixty-four amino acid derivatives were detected in soy sauce, of which 47 were confirmed to have potential contribution to the taste of soy sauce, especially umami and kokumi, and some of them also have the effect of reducing bitterness. Furthermore, some amino acid derivatives, like γ-glutamyl peptides and N-lactoyl amino acids, were found to be synthesized enzymatically in vitro, which laid the foundation for further study on their formation pathways in the future.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae 3.042 and Aspergillus sojae 3.495 are crucial starters for fermented soybean foods since their abundant secreted enzymes. This study aimed to compare the differences in protein secretion between A. oryzae 3.042 and A. sojae 3.495 during the soy sauce koji fermentation and the effect on volatile metabolites to understand the fermentation characteristics of the strains better. Label-free proteomics detected 210 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) enriched in amino acid metabolism and protein folding, sorting and degradation pathways. Subsequently, extracellular enzyme analysis showed that three peptidases, including peptide hydrolase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase, and peptidase S41, were up-regulated in A. sojae 3.495. Seven carbohydrases, including α-galactosidase, endo-arabinase, β-glucosidase, α-galactosidase, α-glucuronidase, arabinan-endo 1,5-α-l-arabinase, and endo-1,4-β-xylanase were up-regulated in A. oryzae 3.042, contributing to the difference in enzyme activity. Significantly different extracellular enzymes influenced the content of volatile alcohols, aldehydes and esters such as (R, R)-2,3-butanediol, 1-hexanol, hexanal, decanal, ethyl l-lactate and methyl myristate in both strains, which affected the type of aroma of koji. Overall, this study revealed the differences in molecular mechanisms between A. oryzae 3.042 and A. sojae 3.495 under solid-state fermentation, providing a reference for targeted enhancement strains.

Abstract
Traditional fermented soybean food has emerged as an important part of people's dietary structure because of the unique flavors and improved health benefit. During fermentation, the nutrients in soybean undergo a series of biochemical reactions catalyzed naturally by microorganism secreted enzymes. Thereafter, many functional and bioactive substances such as bioactive peptides, unsaturated fatty acids, free soy isoflavones, vitamins and minerals are produced, making fermented soy products more advantageous in nutrition and health. This review comprehensively discusses the historical evolution, distribution, traditional fermentation processing, main sources and characteristics of fermented strains, flavor components, nutritional properties, and biological activities of four traditional fermented soybean foods including douchi, sufu, dajiang, and soy sauce. In the end, we introduce four major challenges encountered by traditional fermented soybean foods including high salt content, formation of biogenic amine, the presence of pathogenic microorganisms and mycotoxins, and quality inconsistency. We conclude that the establishment of scientific quality standard and innovated fermentation processing is the potential solutions to combat the issues and improve the safety of traditional fermented soybean products.

Abstract
Traditional fermented bean pastes are indispensable seasonings in many East Asian countries. They are produced via hypertonic solutions by spontaneous fermentation. Functional, unknown microbiota carry great risks for food safety and stable quality. Thus, analysis and subsequent utilization of functional microbiota will be a good strategy to resolve these problems. During bean fermentation, the microbial functions were divided into two stages, including first stage-raw material (polypeptide) degradation and second stage-amino acid catabolism. In this study, we aimed to analyze the functional microbiota of first stage. Omics-studies, including high-throughput sequencing, correlation analysis and extracellular proteome, were used to generate candidate functional microbes for polypeptide degradation in this study. Then, we cultured the candidate functional microbes. After the batch fermentation and enzymatic analysis, we found three strains secreted peptidase and resulted amino acid accumulation, involving Aspergillus niger, Candida zeylanoides and Bacillus licheniformis. Thus, A. niger, C. zeylanoides and B. licheniformis conducted the functional microbiota for polypeptide degrading during hypertonic moromi fermentation. This study supplies a strategy for functional microbiota analysis. In addition, this is the first report that C. zeylanoides can secrete proteome and produce amino acids from polypeptide.

Abstract
This is the first report on the effect of low temperature stress applied during initial moromi fermentation on the quality and taste of soy sauce. Koji was prepared to yield initial moromi under three comparative fermentation conditions over 9 days: (1) 4 °C and 0% brine (i.e., water) (LTSF); (2) 4 °C and 16% w/w brine (LTSH); (3) 25 °C and 16% w/w brine (the control, CRTH). Greater extent of autolysis in samples was found under low temperature stress conditions (i.e., at 4 °C, a temperature much lower than the normal temperature range like 25 °C for natural microbial growth and performance). Compared to CRTH, LTSF had a two-fold increase of glutaminase activity in dregs and 65.17% increase in supernatant, and after 60 days of moromi fermentation, a 5.73% and 3.47% increase, respectively, in the contents of glutamic acid (Glu) and aspartic acid (Asp). LTSF had the highest total free amino acid content due to both the low temperature stress and absence of salt. The intensity ranking of umaminess and kokumi sensation (LTSF > LTSH > CRTH) revealed by sensory analysis followed the changing trends of their umami and sweet amino acid contents with a trend reversal in the bitter amino acid content. Low temperature (4 °C) without brine for initial moromi fermentation seemed beneficial, leading to a soy sauce product with desired taste and amino acid contents.

Abstract
The aim of this work was to clarify the formation of ethyl carbamate (EC) and its influence factors throughout the production process of Cantonese soy sauce. The results showed that EC was not detected in the koji-making and early moromi fermentation stages, but started to be generated when pH of the moromi decreased to about 4.9—at the same time, the levels of ethanol, urea and citrulline increased significantly. Most EC was formed during raw soy sauce hot extraction (40.6%) and sterilization (42.9%) stages. The EC content exhibited the highest correlation with ethanol throughout the whole production process (R = 0.97). The simulation soy sauce produced in laboratory led the same conclusion—moreover, the contents of EC, ethanol and citrulline were higher in soy sauce fermented at 30 °C than in soy sauce fermented at 15 °C. Extraction of raw soy sauce by squeezing contributed little to EC formation. Further research showed that citrulline and ethanol led to significant increases in EC levels in raw soy sauce upon heating. These results indicate that ethanol and citrulline are two critical precursors of EC and that EC is mainly formed during the heat treatment stage of soy sauce.

Abstract
Distribution of lipids morphology and evolution of lipids during soy sauce production were studied. It was found that oil bodies fused and migrated to the outside of soybean cells after steamed, and further fused to cystidiums. And the model of soybean lipids distribution in soy sauce production was presented. Acid value increased to 34.4 mg KOH/g after koji fermentation, and it gradually decreased in the following fermentation. Linoleic acid (C18:2) decreased from 59.35% to 47.75% after 30 days of moromi fermentation. The contents of fatty acids from neutral lipids and free fatty acids increased to 20.98 and 13.47 mg/g, respectively, after moromi fermentation. Fatty acid of phospholipids increased to 8.34 mg/g during koji fermentation and reduced in the prior phase of moromi fermentation. The lipids model and analysis provide new insights into improving aroma of soy sauce and extraction lipids from soy sauce residue.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The fermentation performance of a genome-shuffled strain of Candida versatilis S3-5, isolated for improved tolerance to salt, and wild-type (WT) strain were analysed. The fermentation parameters, such as growth, reducing sugar, ethanol, organic acids and volatile compounds, were detected during soy sauce fermentation process. RESULTS The results showed that ethanol produced by the genome shuffled strain S3-5 was increasing at a faster rate and to a greater extent than WT. At the end of the fermentation, malic acid, citric acid and succinic acid formed in tricarboxylic acid cycle after S3-5 treatment elevated by 39.20%, 6.85% and 17.09% compared to WT, respectively. Moreover, flavour compounds such as phenethyl acetate, ethyl vanillate, ethyl acetate, isoamyl acetate, ethyl myristate, ethyl pentadecanoate, ethyl palmitate and phenylacetaldehyde produced by S3-5 were 2.26, 2.12, 2.87, 34.41, 6.32, 13.64, 2.23 and 78.85 times as compared to WT. CONCLUSIONS S3-5 exhibited enhanced metabolic ability as compared to the wild-type strain, improved conversion of sugars to ethanol, metabolism of organic acid and formation of volatile compounds, especially esters, Moreover, S3-5 might be an ester-flavour type salt-tolerant yeast. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Abstract
Koji preparation is the key step in soy sauce brewing. In this study, 21 medicinal herbs were tested for their abilities in enhancing the protease activities of soy sauce koji. Among these herbs Rhodiola rosea was found to be the most efficient in increasing protease activities. Kinetic analyses revealed that R. rosea addition not only promoted microbe growth and increase the activities of neutral and acid proteases (by 29.8% and 13.4%, respectively) but also elevated α-diphenyl-β-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity and total phenolics and flavonoids (by 9.5%, 47.1% and 14.1%, respectively); the formations of proteases and antioxidant properties depend largely on microbe growth; and the promotion effects of R. rosea addition were mainly displayed in later stage of fermentation. Using the R. rosea koji for soy sauce production resulted in 8.9%, 19.1%, 6.6%, 23% and 102% higher of total and amino-type nitrogen contents, protein utilization, total phenolics and flavonoids, respectively.
