Exploring the link between microbial community structure and flavour compounds of traditional fermented yak milk in Gannan region. Food Chem 2024; 435:137553. [PMID: 37769561 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137553] [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: 03/05/2023] [Revised: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023]
Abstract
Traditional fermented yak milk has immense cultural and nutritional significance for Tibetan herders. In this study, we investigated the microbial community structure and flavour compounds in traditional fermented yak milk from three distinct regions of Gannan to explore the relationship between microbial composition and flavour compounds. The findings revealed significant variations in flavour compounds and the bacterial microbiota among the samples from the three regions. The dominant species identified in fermented yak milk were Streptococcus salivarius subsp. Thermophilus, Lactobacillus helveticus, and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Bidirectional orthogonal partial least-squares (O2PLS) analysis highlighted five bacterial genera and three fungal genera as contributors to the production of flavour-related compounds. Furthermore, regression analysis revealed that the Lactobacillus and Streptococcus genera were associated with the production of 2,3-pentanedione as well as eight predicted KEGG pathways. These findings provide valuable insights into the intricate relationship between flavour compounds and microbiota in traditional fermented yak milk.

ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:9331-9347. [PMID: 38434872 PMCID: PMC10905597 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c08375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 03/05/2024]
Abstract
This study explored the potential to improve the storage quality and prolong the shelf life of truffles by storing them in a modified atmosphere fresh-keeping box with sealed gas components of Active Modified Atmosphere Packaging (AMAP, 40% O2 + 60% CO2) at 4 °C. During the storage period, a total of 63 volatile components in 10 categories were detected, with aldehydes being the most abundant and the relative content of ethers being the highest. The relative odor activity value and principal component analysis revealed that isovaleraldehyde, 1-octen-3-ol, 1-octen-3-one, and dimethyl sulfide were the characteristic flavor components of fresh truffles. However, 3-methylthiopropionaldehyde and (E, E)-2,4-nonadienal were the components that caused the deterioration of truffle flavor and could potentially serve as markers of truffle decay characteristics. 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing showed that Leuconostoc and Lactococcus were dominant in the truffle samples stored for 14 days, but the abundance of putrefactive pathogenic bacteria showed an increasing trend in the truffle samples stored for 28 days. During the whole storage period, the common fungi detected in the different treatment groups were Candida and Aspergillus. The relative abundance of the former decreased, while the relative abundance of the latter decreased initially and then increased. The correlation between volatile components and the microbial flora was further analyzed, which indicated that Lactococcus and Lactobacillus had the same contributions to the same flavor, while Pseudomonas and Glutamicibacter had the opposite contributions to the same flavor. The results provide a reference for the storage and preservation of truffles.

Abstract
Artisanal cheese from Serra Geral, Minas Gerais, Brazil, stands out for its cultural asset and socio-economic relevance. However, standards of identity and quality and the peculiar terroir associated with the edaphoclimatic conditions have not been established. Therefore, the production flow diagram and the physico-chemical and microbiological quality of the raw milk, pingo (natural starter culture), production benches, water and fresh cheese were investigated for the first time. In addition, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from cheese and its production environment were identified by MALDI-TOF. For that, 12 cheese making facilities were selected. The raw milk and pingo showed adequate physico-chemical characteristics for cheesemaking; however, high microbial counts were found. In the water, total and thermotolerant coliforms were also identified. The fresh cheeses were classified as 'high moisture and fat' and 'soft mass'. Most physico-chemical parameters were satisfactory; however, there were high counts of total coliforms, Staphylococcus spp. and coagulase-positive staphylococci. There were high counts of LAB in the raw milk, pingo, bench surface and fresh cheese. A total of 84 microbial biotypes from MRS agar were isolated. Lactococcus lactis was the predominant LAB, followed by Lactococcus garvieae. Leuconostoc mesenteroides (benches), Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides (fresh cheese), and Enterococcus faecium (pingo) were identified sporadically. These results indicate the risks to public health associated with the consumption of the fresh cheese, and measures to improve its safety are needed.

Abstract
The beneficial microorganisms in food are diverse and complex in structure. These beneficial microorganisms can produce different and unique flavors in the process of food fermentation. The unique flavor of these fermented foods is mainly produced by different raw and auxiliary materials, fermentation technology, and the accumulation of flavor substances by dominant microorganisms during fermentation. The succession and metabolic accumulation of microbial flora significantly impacts the distinctive flavor of fermented foods. The investigation of the role of microbial flora changes in the production of flavor substances during fermentation can reveal the potential connection between microbial flora succession and the formation of key flavor compounds. This paper reviewed the evolution of microbial flora structure as food fermented and the key volatile compounds that contribute to flavor in the food system and their potential relationship. Further, it was a certain guiding significance for food industrial production.

Abstract
Laal dahi is a sweetened and soft pudding-like fermented milk product of the Eastern regions of India, which has not been studied for its microbial community structures and health promoting functionality in terms of 'omics' approaches. We applied metagenomic and metagenomes-assembled genomes (MAGs) tools to decipher the biomarkers for genes encoding for different health promoting functionalities in laal dahi. Abundance of bacterial domains was observed with negligible presence of eukaryotes and viruses. Bacillota was the most abundant phylum with different bacterial species viz., Enterococcus italicus, Lactococcus raffinolactis, Lactobacillus helveticus, Bifidobacterium mongoliense, Hafnia alvei, Lactococcus lactis, Acetobacter okinawensis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Thermus thermophilus, Leuconostoc citreum, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides, Acetobacter orientalis, Lactobacillus gallinarum, Lactococcus chungangensis and Lactobacillus delbrueckii. Comparison of laal dahi microbiome with that of similar fermented milk products was also carried out after retrieving the metagenomic datasets from public databases. Significant abundance of Lb. helveticus, E. italicus, Lc. raffinolactis and Lc. lactis in laal dahi. Interestingly, Bifidobacterium mongoliense, Lb. gallinarum, Lc. chungangensis and Acetobacter okinawensis were only detected in laal dahi but Streptococcus infantarius, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lb. johnsonii were absent. Reconstruction of putative single environment-specific genomes from metagenomes in addition to subsampling of the abundant species resulted in five high-quality MAGs identified as Lactobacillus delbrueckii, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactococcus chungangensis, Lactococcus lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus. All MAGs showed the presence of various genes with several putative functions corresponding to different probiotic and prebiotic functions, short-chain fatty acids production, immunomodulation, antitumor genes, essential amino acid and vitamin biosynthesis. Genes for γ-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) production were only detected in MAG of Lactococcus lactis. Gene clusters for secondary metabolites (antimicrobial peptides) were detected in all MAGs except Lc. chungangensis. Additionally, detection of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated (Cas) elements was observed only in Lactobacillus delbrueckii and Streptococcus thermophilus. Annotation of several genes with potential health beneficial properties in all five MAGs may support the need to explore the culturability of these MAGs for future use in controlled fermentation of functional dairy products.

Abstract
Fermented foods are important components of the human diet. There is increasing awareness of abundant nutritional and functional properties present in fermented foods that arise from the transformation of substrates by microbial communities. Thus, it is significant to unravel the microbial communities and mechanisms of characteristic flavor formation occurring during fermentation. There has been rapid development of high-throughput and other omics technologies, such as metaproteomics and metabolomics, and as a result, there is growing recognition of the importance of integrating these approaches. The successful applications of multi-omics approaches and bioinformatics analyses have provided a solid foundation for exploring the fermentation process. Compared with single-omics, multi-omics analyses more accurately delineate microbial and molecular features, thus they are more apt to reveal the mechanisms of fermentation. This review introduces fermented foods and an overview of single-omics technologies - including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, and metabolomics. We also discuss integrated multi-omics and bioinformatic analyses and their role in recent research progress related to fermented foods, as well as summarize the main potential pathways involved in certain fermented foods. In the future, multilayered analyses of multi-omics data should be conducted to enable better understanding of flavor formation mechanisms in fermented foods.

Abstract
Milk is naturally a rich source of many essential nutrients; therefore, it is quite a suitable medium for bacterial growth and serves as a reservoir for bacterial contamination. The genus Arthrobacter is a food-related bacterial group commonly present as a contaminant in milk and dairy products as primary and secondary microflora. Arthrobacter bacteria frequently demonstrate the nutritional versatility to degrade different compounds even in extreme environments. As a result of their metabolic diversity, Arthrobacter species have long been of interest to scientists for application in various industry and biotechnology sectors. In the dairy industry, strains from the Arthrobacter genus are part of the microflora of raw milk known as an indicator of hygiene quality. Although they cause spoilage, they are also regarded as important strains responsible for producing fermented milk products, especially cheeses. Several Arthrobacter spp. have reported their significance in the development of cheese color and flavor. Furthermore, based on the data obtained from previous studies about its thermostability, and thermoacidophilic and thermoresistant properties, the genus Arthrobacter promisingly provides advantages for use as a potential producer of β-galactosidases to fulfill commercial requirements as its enzymes allow dairy products to be treated under mild conditions. In light of these beneficial aspects derived from Arthrobacter spp. including pigmentation, flavor formation, and enzyme production, this bacterial genus is potentially important for the dairy industry.

Abstract
A total of 26 lactic acid bacteria isolates from both Italian and Brazilian cheeses were tested for their use in cheesemaking. Isolates were screened for salt tolerance, exopolysaccharide and diacetyl production, lipolytic, acidifying, and proteolytic activities. In addition, the aminopeptidase (Pep N and Pep X) activities, were evaluated. Most of the strains demonstrated salt tolerance to 6% of NaCl, while only two L. delbruekii (P14, P38), one L. rhamnosus (P50) and one L. plantarum (Q3C4) were able to grow in the presence of 10% (w/v) of NaCl. Except for 2 L. plantarum (Q1C6 and Q3C4), all strains showed low or medium acidifying activity and good proteolytic features. Furthermore, lipolytic activity was revealed in none of the strains, while the production of EPS and diacetyl was widespread and variable among the tested strains. Finally, regarding aminopeptidase activities, 1 L. delbrueckii (P10), 1 L. rhamnosus (P50), and 1 L. lactis (Q5C6) were considered as the better performing, showing high values of both Pep N and Pep X. Based on data presented here, the aforementioned strains could be suggested as promising adjunct cultures in cheesemaking.

Abstract
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and low field nuclear magnetic resonance (LF-NMR) were used to analyse the relationship between the chemical, texture, rheology, microstructure and water distribution of kefir (yeast, acetic acid bacteria and Lactobacillus plantarum) yoghurt fermented by mixed bacteria and L. plantarum L1 fermented yoghurt. This work was conducted to prepare a real champagne yoghurt and explore the difference between it and ordinary yoghurt. The nutritional evaluation of the two treatment groups was carried out by amino acid analysis, and the volatile flavour substances of the two treatment groups were detected by solid phase microextraction (SPME)-gas chromatograph (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS). Results showed that the addition of acetic acid bacteria and yeast increased the water content of kefir, resulting in a decrease in its water-holding rate. Moreover, the increase in acidity weakened the connection between the protein networks, the flocculent protein structure was not more densely stacked than the L1 group, and the internal bonds were unstable. The rheological results showed that the apparent viscosity decreased faster with the increase in shear force. The CLSM and LF-NMR showed that the hydration and degree of freedom of kefir yoghurt protein decreased, resulting in an increased protein network density. The SEM showed that the cross-linking between kefir casein clusters was considerably tight to form small chains, the pore distribution was uneven, and a weak cheese structure was formed. In addition, the volatile flavour substances in the kefir group increased the phenylethyl alcohol, isobutanol, and isoamyl alcohol compared with those in the L1 group, with a slight refreshing taste brought by alcohol and special soft malt alcohol aroma and rose aroma not found in ordinary yoghurt, which was more in line with the characteristics and taste of traditional kefir champagne yoghurt.

Fermented foods often have attractive flavor characteristics to meet various human demands. An ever-challenging target is the production of fermented foods with equal flavor profiles outside the product's origin. However, the formation of geography-dependent flavor in high-complexity fermentations remains poorly understood. Here, taking Chinese liquor (baijiu) fermentation as an example, we collected 403 samples from 9 different locations in China across a latitude range of 27°N to 37°N. We revealed and validated the geography-dependent flavor formation patterns by using culture-independent (metabolomics, metagenomics, and metatranscriptomics) and culture-dependent tools. We found that the baijiu microbiomes along with their metabolites were flavor related and geography dependent. The geographical characteristics were determined mainly by 20 to 40 differentiated chemical markers in metabolites and the latitude-dependent fungal structure of the microbiome. About 48 to 156 core microbiota members out of 735 bacterial genera and 290 fungal genera contributed to the chemical markers. The contributions of both fungi and bacteria were greater than those from either bacteria or fungi alone. Representatively, we revealed that dynamic interdependent interactions between yeasts and Lactobacillus facilitated the metabolism of heterocyclic flavor chemicals such as 2-acetylpyrrole, 2,3,5-trimethylpyrazine, and 2-acetylfuran. Moreover, we found that the intraspecific genomic diversity and microbial structure were two biotic factors that contributed to dynamic microbiome assembly. Based on the assembly pattern, adjusting the composition and distribution of initial species was one option to regulate the formation of diverse flavor characteristics. Our study provided a rationale for developing a microbiome design to achieve a defined flavor goal. IMPORTANCE People consume many spontaneously fermented foods and beverages with different flavors on a daily basis. One crucial and hotly discussed question is how to reproduce fermented food flavor without geographical limitations to meet diverse human demands. The constantly enriched knowledge of the microbial contribution to fermented flavor offers valuable insights into flavor biotechnological development. However, we still have a poor understanding of what factors limit the reproduction of fermented flavor outside the product's origin in high-complexity spontaneous fermentations. Here, taking baijiu fermentation as an example, we revealed that geography-dependent flavor was contributed mainly by fungus-bacterium cooperative metabolism. The distinct initial microbial composition, distribution, and intraspecific genomic diversity limited reproducible microbial interactions and metabolism in different geographical areas. The abundant microbial resources and predicted fungus-bacterium interactions found in baijiu fermentation enable us to design a synthetic microbial community to reproduce desired flavor profiles in the future.

Abstract
The formation and quality of nutrients before and after fermentation depends on microbial community dynamics. In this study, the nutrients and microflora of mare milk were studied before and after traditional fermentation. To achieve this goal, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and Illumina MiSeq sequencing were used to study the changes in the main nutrients and microbial communities, respectively, before and after mare milk traditional fermentation. A total of 81 nutrients were identified before and after the fermentation of mare milk into koumiss; among these, 6 compounds [citraconic acid, 6-hydroxycaproic acid, creatine, adenine, d-(+)-proline, and histamine] were differentially upregulated. Histamine levels increased after traditional fermentation, whereas Lactobacillus, Dekkera, and Acetobacter grew rapidly and became the dominant microorganisms in the fermentation process. These three genera were positively correlated with creatine and proline levels, whereas Lelliottia was negatively correlated with citraconic acid and proline levels. Prediction of the functions of bacteria and fungi in the mare milk before and after fermentation included carbohydrate metabolism, cofactors and nutrition, and plant pathogens. The results of this study provide new insights into the formation of nutrients in koumiss; it is important to study changes in bacteria and fungi before and after traditional fermentation.

Abstract
Cheese is characterized by a rich and complex microbiota that plays a vital role during both production and ripening, contributing significantly to the safety, quality, and sensory characteristics of the final product. In this context, it is vital to explore the microbiota composition and understand its dynamics and evolution during cheese manufacturing and ripening. Application of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies have facilitated the more accurate identification of the cheese microbiome, detailed study of its potential functionality, and its contribution to the development of specific organoleptic properties. These technologies include amplicon sequencing, whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing, metatranscriptomics, and, most recently, metabolomics. In recent years, however, the application of multiple meta-omics approaches along with data integration analysis, which was enabled by advanced computational and bioinformatics tools, paved the way to better comprehension of the cheese ripening process, revealing significant associations between the cheese microbiota and metabolites, as well as their impact on cheese flavor and quality.

Abstract
After conversion of lactose to lactic acid, several biochemical changes occur such as enhanced protein digestibility, fatty acids release, and production of bioactive compounds etc. during the fermentation process that brings nutritional and quality improvement in the fermented dairy products (FDP). A diverse range of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) is being utilized for the development of FDP with specific desirable techno-functional attributes. This review contributes to the knowledge of basic pathways and changes during fermentation process and the current research on techniques used for identification and quantification of metabolites. The focus of this article is mainly on the metabolites responsible for maintaining the desired attributes and health benefits of FDP as well as their characterization from raw milk. LAB genera including Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus and Lactococcus are involved in the fermentation of milk and milk products. LAB species accrue these benefits and desirable properties of FDP producing the bioactive compounds and metabolites using homo-fermentative and heterofermentative pathways. Generation of metabolites vary with incubation and other processing conditions and are analyzed and quantified using highly advanced and sophisticated instrumentation including nuclear magnetic resonance, mass-spectrometry based techniques. Health benefits of FDP are mainly possible due to the biological roles of such metabolites that also cause technological improvements desired by dairy manufacturers and consumers.

Abstract
The formation of cheese flavor mainly results from the production of volatile compounds by microorganisms. We investigated how fine-tuning cheese-making process parameters changed the cheese volatilome in a semi-hard cheese inoculated with Lactococcus (L.) lactis, Lactiplantibacillus (L.) plantarum, and Propionibacterium (P.) freudenreichii. A standard (Std) cheese was compared with three variants of technological itineraries: a shorter salting time (7 h vs 10 h, Salt7h), a shorter stirring time (15 min vs 30 min, Stir15min), or a higher ripening temperature (16 °C vs 13 °C, Rip16°C). Bacterial counts were similar in the four cheese types, except for a 1.4 log10 reduction of L. lactis counts in Rip16°C cheeses after 7 weeks of ripening. Compared to Std, Stir15min and Rip16°C increased propionibacterial activity, causing higher concentrations of acetic, succinic, and propanoic acids and lower levels of lactic acid. Rip16°C accelerated secondary proteolysis and volatile production. We thus demonstrated that fine-tuning process parameters could modulate the cheese volatilome by influencing specific bacterial metabolisms.

Abstract
The enzymatic conversion of l-methionine (l-Met) into volatile organic sulfur-containing compounds (VOSCs) plays an important role in developing the characteristic aroma of foods. However, the mechanism for the direct conversion of l-Met into VOSCs is still unclear in yeast cells used to make food products. Here, we show that the transcription profile of YALI0C22088g from Yarrowia lipolytica correlates positively with l-Met addition. YALI0C22088g catalyses the γ-elimination of l-Met, directly converting l-Met into VOSCs. YALI0C22088g also exhibits strong C-S lysis activities towards l-cystathionine and the other sulfur-containing compounds and forms a distinct cystathionine-γ-lyase subgroup. We identified eight key amino acid residues in YALI0C22088g, and we inferred that the size of the tunnel and the charges carried by the entrance amino acid residue are the determinants for the enzymatic conversion of l-Met into VOSCs. These findings reveal the formation mechanism of VOSCs produced directly from l-Met via the demethiolation pathway in Yarrowia lipolytica, which provides a rationale for engineering the enzymatic conversion of l-Met into VOSCs and thus stimulates the enzymatic production of aroma compounds.

Abstract
Sugarcane molasses are considered a potential source for bioethanol's commercial production because of its availability and low market price. It contains high concentrations of fermentable sugars that can be directly metabolized by microbial fermentation. Heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria, especially Lactiplantibacillus casei, have a high potential to be a biocatalyst in ethanol production that they are characterized by strong abilities of carbohydrate metabolism, ethanol synthesis, and high alcohol tolerance. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing ethanol by Lactiplantibacillus casei used the ethanologen engineering strain L. casei E1 as a starter culture and cane molasses as substrate medium. The effects of environmental factors on the metabolism of L. casei E1 were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, and the gene expression of key enzymes in carbon source metabolism was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR). Results showed that the strain could grow well, ferment sugar quickly in cane molasses. By fermenting this bacterium anaerobically at 37 °C for 36 h incubation in 5 °BX molasses when the fermenter's pH was controlled at 6.0, ethanol yield reached 13.77 g/L, and carbohydrate utilization percentage was 78.60%. RT-qPCR results verified the strain preferentially ferment glucose and fructose of molasses to ethanol at the molecular level. In addition, the metabolism of sugars, especially fructose, would be inhibited by elevating acidity. Our findings support the theoretical basis for exploring Lactic acid bacteria as a starter culture for converting sugarcane molasses into ethanol.

Abstract
The cheese microbiota comprises a consortium of prokaryotic, eukaryotic and viral populations, among which lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are majority components with a prominent role during manufacturing and ripening. The assortment, numbers and proportions of LAB and other microbial biotypes making up the microbiota of cheese are affected by a range of biotic and abiotic factors. Cooperative and competitive interactions between distinct members of the microbiota may occur, with rheological, organoleptic and safety implications for ripened cheese. However, the mechanistic details of these interactions, and their functional consequences, are largely unknown. Acquiring such knowledge is important if we are to predict when fermentations will be successful and understand the causes of technological failures. The experimental use of "synthetic" microbial communities might help throw light on the dynamics of different cheese microbiota components and the interplay between them. Although synthetic communities cannot reproduce entirely the natural microbial diversity in cheese, they could help reveal basic principles governing the interactions between microbial types and perhaps allow multi-species microbial communities to be developed as functional starters. By occupying the whole ecosystem taxonomically and functionally, microbiota-based cultures might be expected to be more resilient and efficient than conventional starters in the development of unique sensorial properties.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese fermented foods are favored by consumers due to their unique flavor, texture and nutritional values. A large number of microorganisms participate in the process of fermentation, especially lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are present in almost all fermented foods and contribute to flavor development. The formation process of flavor is complex and involves the biochemical conversion of various food components. It is very important to fully understand the conversion process to direct the flavor formation in foods. A comprehensive link between the LAB community and the flavor formation in traditional Chinese fermented foods is reviewed. The main mechanisms involved in the flavor formation dominated by LAB are carbohydrate metabolism, proteolysis and amino acid catabolism, and lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism. This review highlights some useful novel approaches for flavor enhancement, including the application of functional starter cultures and metabolic engineering, which may provide significant advances toward improving the flavor of fermented foods for a promising market.

Abstract
Lactococcus lactis from environmental niches show high esterolytic activity Higher metabolic diversity is seen in environmental versus dairy L. lactis strains SGNH hydrolase family of esterases may be linked to high esterolytic activity
Lactococcus lactis strains are widely used in the dairy industry in fermentation processes for production of cheese and fermented milks. However, the esterolytic activity of L. lactis is not generally considered high. For this reason, purified microbial lipases and esterases are often added in certain dairy processes to generate specific flavors in the final food product. This work demonstrates the superior esterolytic activity of a collection of L. lactis strains isolated from different environmental sources compared with that of dairy-derived strains. It provides further evidence of the more diverse metabolic capabilities displayed by L. lactis strains from environmental sources compared to their domesticated dairy counterparts. Furthermore, the presence of a 1,287-bp gene encoding a 428-amino acid SGNH hydrolase in the high-esterolytic environmental strains suggests a possible link between superior esterolytic activity and the presence of the esterase from the SGNH hydrolase family.

Mazhar S, Kilcawley KN, Hill C, McAuliffe O. A Systems-Wide Analysis of Proteolytic and Lipolytic Pathways Uncovers The Flavor-Forming Potential of The Gram-Positive Bacterium Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:1533. [PMID: 32733419 PMCID: PMC7358451 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.01533] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Macrococcus caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus is a Gram-positive, commensal organism documented to be present as a component of the secondary microflora in fermented foods such as Ragusano and Fontina cheeses and Cantonese sausage. In these products, the organism appears to play a role in ripening and the development of the final organoleptic qualities. However, the role of this organism in flavor generation is not well understood. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the role of M. caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus in flavor compound formation through an examination of enzymatic, metabolomic and genomic data. A bank of M. caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus strains derived from a variety of niches were examined. Enzyme activities analyzed comprised those of the proteolytic and lipolytic cascades including cell-envelope proteinase (CEP), peptidases, esterases, lipases, aminotransferases and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH). Strain to strain variation was observed, often associated with niche. All strains, except those isolated from non-dairy sources, demonstrated high CEP activity. Such high CEP activity associated with dairy strains implies the importance of this characteristic in the adaptation of these strains to a dairy-specific niche. However, limited downstream peptidolytic activity, in addition to a limited ability to generate free amino acids (FAA) was observed across all strains, indicating weak ability of this organism to generate amino-acid derived flavor compounds. Interestingly, the strains with high CEP activity also demonstrated high esterase activity and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the volatile compounds produced when these strains were grown in lactose-free milk demonstrated differences in the range and types of volatiles produced. In contrast to this metabolic versatility, comparative genome analysis revealed the distribution of components of the proteolytic and lipolytic system in these strains to be conserved. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of M. caseolyticus subsp. caseolyticus to generate diverse volatile flavor compounds. Additionally, the identification of the highly active strain-specific cell wall bound caseolytic proteases deriving extensive casein hydrolysis, serves as a promising avenue which can be potentially harnessed in the future to produce greater and more diverse flavor compounds.

Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are present in foods, the environment and the animal gut, although fermented foods (FFs) are recognized as the primary niche of LAB activity. Several LAB strains have been studied for their health-promoting properties and are employed as probiotics. FFs are recognized for their potential beneficial effects, which we review in this article. They are also an important source of LAB, which are ingested daily upon FF consumption. In this review, we describe the diversity of LAB and their occurrence in food as well as the gut microbiome. We discuss the opportunities to study LAB diversity and functional properties by considering the availability of both genomic and metagenomic data in public repositories, as well as the different latest computational tools for data analysis. In addition, we discuss the role of LAB as potential probiotics by reporting the prevalence of key genomic features in public genomes and by surveying the outcomes of LAB use in clinical trials involving human subjects. Finally, we highlight the need for further studies aimed at improving our knowledge of the link between LAB-fermented foods and the human gut from the perspective of health promotion.

A Big World in Small Grain: A Review of Natural Milk Kefir Starters. Microorganisms 2020; 8:microorganisms8020192. [PMID: 32019167 PMCID: PMC7074874 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms8020192] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2019] [Revised: 01/20/2020] [Accepted: 01/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Milk kefir is a traditional fermented milk product whose consumption is becoming increasingly popular. The natural starter for kefir production is kefir grain, which consists of various bacterial and yeast species. At the industrial scale, however, kefir grains are rarely used due to their slow growth, complex application, bad reproducibility and high costs. Instead, mixtures of defined lactic acid bacteria and sometimes yeasts are applied, which alter sensory and functional properties compared to natural grain-based milk kefir. In order to be able to mimic natural starter cultures for authentic kefir production, it is a prerequisite to gain deep knowledge about the nature of kefir grains, its microbial composition, morphologic structure, composition of strains on grains and the impact of environmental parameters on kefir grain characteristics. In addition, it is very important to deeply investigate the numerous multi-dimensional interactions among different species, which play important roles on the formation and the functionality of grains.

Abstract
The article presents a technology developed for the production of synbiotic Yoghurt with new bioactive filler based on natural components. The Yoghurt has prebiotic and sorption properties. A higher consumer appeal of the product developed has been substantiated; its characteristics compared with the Yoghurt of traditional production technology have been presented. The brittle, containing peeled walnuts, as well as barley, wheat, rye, oatmeal and buckwheat flakes, sugar, and water, was used as a filler. Optimum time and temperature regimes of boiling caramel mixtures and brewing raw walnut-cereal mass in the brittle have been selected. The formulation developed enables increasing the nutritional and biological values of the finished product. The research studies of the finished product involved an analysis of organoleptic, physicochemical, and microbiological points. When performing the tasks, the approved regulatory and technical documentation (GOST) was applied. Each measurement was carried out in triplicate. The physicochemical characteristics of the samples developed were compared with the requirements for the quality of fermented milk products. The nutritional and biological values were calculated. The increase in consumer properties, and nutritional and biological values of the finished dairy product was scientifically substantiated and experimentally confirmed.
