Li M, Jia W. Formation and hazard of ethyl carbamate and construction of genetically engineered Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains in Huangjiu (Chinese grain wine). Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2024; 23:e13321. [PMID: 38517033 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Accepted: 02/28/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Huangjiu, a well-known conventional fermented Chinese grain wine, is widely consumed in Asia for its distinct flavor. Trace amounts of ethyl carbamate (EC) may be generated during the fermentation or storage process. The International Agency for Research on Cancer elevated EC to a Class 2A carcinogen, so it is necessary to regulate EC content in Huangjiu. The risk of intake of dietary EC is mainly assessed through the margin of exposure (MOE) recommended by the European Food Safety Authority, with a smaller MOE indicating a higher risk. Interventions are necessary to reduce EC formation. As urea, one of the main precursors of EC formation in Huangjiu, is primarily produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae through the catabolism of arginine, the construction of dominant engineered fermentation strains is a favorable trend for the future production and application of Huangjiu. This review summarized the formation and carcinogenic mechanism of EC from the perspectives of precursor substances, metabolic pathways after ingestion, and risk assessment. The methods of constructing dominant S. cerevisiae strains in Huangjiu by genetic engineering technology were reviewed, which provided an important theoretical basis for reducing EC content and strengthening practical control of Huangjiu safety, and the future research direction was prospected.

[PMID: 38144730 PMCID: PMC10739914 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100898] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/25/2023] [Revised: 09/17/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 12/26/2023] Open
Abstract
This study aimed to explore effects of indica rice addition, rice soaking time and rice soup addition on total sugar and alcohol content of semi-dry Hakka rice wine (HRW) and compare its difference in physicochemical properties and volatiles with traditional sweet rice wine (TSRW) via HPLC, GC-MS and E-tongue. The optimal fermentation conditions of semi-dry HRW were 50 % indica rice addition, 12 h rice soaking time and 85 % rice soup addition. The total sugar (16.13 mg/mL) of semi-dry HRW was significantly lower than that of TSRW (135.79 mg/mL), especially the trehalose, glucose, sucrose and maltose. Its alcohol content was significantly higher than that of TSRW. There were significant differences in volatile components between semi-dry HRW and TSRW, especially esters, alcohols and ketones, but no significant differences in organic acids and amino acids. Results obtained could provide reference data for improving the fermentation process and quality of semi-dry HRW.

Abstract
The dynamics of physicochemical properties, microbial community and flavor metabolites during fermentation of two typical Hakka rice wine were investigated. Results showed that total sugar content was 136.83 g/L in sweet rice wine, which almost 8 times higher than that in semi-dry rice wine. Its amino acid contents especially bitterness amino acids were also higher than those in semi-dry rice wine. Most organic acids in Hakka rice wine had the tendency of increase in initial stage of fermentation, following a decrease and finally being almost stable. A total of 131 volatiles including esters, alcohols, aldehydes, acids, ketones were detected. Pediococcus, Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Pantoea, Enterobacter and Lactobacillus were the dominant bacterial genera and Monascus, Saccharomyces, Rhizopus were the dominant fungal genera, which are strongly associated with the significant changes in flavor metabolites during Hakka rice wine fermentation. The obtained findings provided reference data for the optimization of Hakka rice wine fermentation.

Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2023; 22:1495-1516. [PMID: 36856535 DOI: 10.1111/1541-4337.13119] [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: 08/20/2022] [Revised: 01/15/2023] [Accepted: 01/22/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023]
Abstract
Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a probable carcinogenic compound commonly found in fermented foods and alcoholic beverages and has been classified as a category 2A carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Alcoholic beverages are one of the main sources of EC intake by humans. Therefore, many countries have introduced a standard EC limit in alcoholic beverages. Wine is the second largest alcoholic beverage in the world after beer and is loved by consumers for its rich taste. However, different survey results showed that the detection rate of EC in wine was almost 100%, while the maximum content was as high as 100 μg/L, necessitating EC content regulation in wine. The existing methods for controlling the EC level in wine mainly include optimizing raw fermentation materials and processes, using genetically engineered strains, and enzymatic methods (urease or urethanase). This review focused on introducing and comparing the advantages, disadvantages, and applicability of methods for controlling EC, and proposes two possible new techniques, that is, changing the fermentation strain and exogenously adding phenolic compounds. In the future, it is hoped that the feasibility of this prospect will be verified by pilot-scale or large-scale application to provide new insight into the regulation of EC during wine production. The formation mechanism and influencing factors of EC in wine were also introduced and the analytical methods of EC were summarized.

Abstract
Background: Ethyl carbamate (EC), a byproduct that naturally forms in fermented foods, can cause tumors and cell death and is classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2A). EC is naturally formed through the alcoholysis reaction between ethanol and carbamyl compounds. The major precursors and dominantly emerging stages of EC differ with disparate food types, including soy sauce. This work aimed to clarify the formation of EC and its influence factors throughout the soy sauce production process with or without high-pressure process (HPP) treatment. Methods: Tetragenococcus halophilus, Pediococcus acidilactici, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, and Candida versatilis were added to soy sauce. The levels of citrulline and EC were measured, and a 16S and ITS assay investigated the microbiota. Results: L-citrulline production was found in each group after fermentation for one month. In addition, L-citrulline levels were generated the most in group D (500 MPa treated raw soy sauce with 12% saltwater and mixed fermentation bacteria, including T. halophilus,P. acidilactici,Z. rouxii, and C. versatilis) and group E (soy sauce fermentation with 12% saltwater without HPP treatment) compared to group F (soy sauce fermentation with 18% saltwater without HPP treatment). Conclusions: These results indicated that salt concentration and mixed fermentation bacteria (T. halophilus,P. acidilactici,Z. rouxii,C. versatilis) might not be major factors for L-citrulline production.

Abstract
To investigate the specific difference in aroma characteristics of Huangjiu (Chinese rice wine) in Shaoxing region fermented with different brewing water, descriptive sensory analysis, comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC × GC-qMS) and multivariate statistical analysis were employed. The descriptive sensory analysis proved that Huangjiu fermented with Jianhu water had higher overall aroma intensity, and was more prominent in ester, sweet and alcoholic aroma than those fermented with deionized water and Nenjiang water. The results of aroma components analysis by GC × GC-qMS showed that the Huangjiu fermented with Jianhu water had higher concentration of some key aroma compounds, such as ethyl butyrate (OAV: 29-196), isoamyl acetate (OAV: 11-18) and ethyl hexanoate (OAV: 38-47). The multivariate statistical analysis further confirmed that 14 compounds could be used as key markers to distinguish the Huangjiu samples fermented with different brewing water. The correlation network between the volatile compounds in Huangjiu and the inorganic components in water indicated that the ions played an important role in the formation of the difference in aroma characteristics among the samples.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a process contaminant that can be formed as a by-product during fermentation and processing of foods and beverages. Elevated EC concentrations are primarily associated with distilled spirits, but this compound has also been found at lower concentrations in foods and beverages, including breads, soy sauce, and wine. Evidence from animal studies suggests that EC is a probable human carcinogen. Consequently, several governmental institutions have established allowable limits for EC in the food supply. This review includes EC formation mechanisms, occurrence of EC in the food supply, and EC dietary exposure assessments. Current analytical methods used to detect EC will be covered, in addition to emerging technologies, such as nanosensors and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Various mitigation methods have been used to maintain EC concentrations below allowable limits, including distillation, enzymatic treatments, and genetic engineering of yeast. More research in this field is needed to refine mitigation strategies and develop methods to rapidly detect EC in the food supply. HIGHLIGHTS
