Guo Q, Peng J, Zhao J, Lei J, Huang Y, Shao B. Effects of Salinity on Physicochemical Properties, Flavor Compounds, and Bacterial Communities in Broad Bean Paste-Meju Fermentation. Foods 2024; 13:2108. [PMID: 38998614 PMCID: PMC11241834 DOI: 10.3390/foods13132108] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2024] [Revised: 06/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/27/2024] [Indexed: 07/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Broad bean paste (BBP) is a traditional fermented soy food, and its high salt content not only prolongs the fermentation time but also threatens human health. In this study, three BBP-meju with different salt concentrations were prepared, and the effects of varying salinity on fermentation were comprehensively compared. The results showed that salt-reduced fermentation contributed to the accumulation of amino acid nitrogen, reducing sugars, free amino acids, and organic acids. Alcohols, esters, aldehydes, and acids were the main volatile flavor compounds in BBP-meju, and the highest total volatile flavor compounds were found in medium-salt meju. Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Aspergillus, and Mortierella were the dominant microbial communities during fermentation, and there were also three opportunistic pathogens, Enterobacter, Pantoea, and Brevundimonas, respectively. According to Spearman correlation analysis, Wickerhamomyces, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, and Mortierella all showed highly significant positive correlations with ≥3 key flavor compounds, which may be the core functional flora. Furthermore, the dominant microbial genera worked synergistically to promote the formation of high-quality flavor compounds and inhibit the production of off-flavors during salt-reduced fermentation. This study provides a theoretical reference for the quality and safety control of low-salt fermented soy foods.

Nutrients 2024; 16:1199. [PMID: 38674889 PMCID: PMC11054196 DOI: 10.3390/nu16081199] [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: 03/21/2024] [Revised: 04/09/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Sodium plays a key role in the regulation of water balance and is also important in food formulation due to its contribution to the taste and use in the preservation of many foods. Excessive intake of any essential nutrient is problematic and this seems to be particularly the case for sodium since a high intake makes it the nutrient most strongly associated with mortality. Sodium intake has been the object of recommendations by public health agencies such as the WHO and this has resulted in efforts by the food industry to reduce the sodium content of packaged foods, although there is still room for improvement. The recent literature also emphasizes the need for other strategies, e.g., regulations and education, to promote adequate sodium intake. In the present paper, we also describe the potential benefits of a global healthy lifestyle that considers healthy eating but also physical activity habits that improve body functionality and may help to attenuate the detrimental effects of high sodium intake on body composition and cardiometabolic health. In conclusion, a reduction in sodium intake, an improvement in body functioning, and educational interventions promoting healthy eating behaviours seem to be essential for the optimal regulation of sodium balance.

Pashaei M, Zare L, Khalili Sadrabad E, Hosseini Sharif Abad A, Mollakhalili-Meybodi N, Abedi AS. The impacts of salt reduction strategies on technological characteristics of wheat bread: a review. JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY 2022; 59:4141-4151. [PMID: 36193481 PMCID: PMC9525553 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-021-05263-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 05/31/2023]
Abstract
Increased consumption of sodium is considered as the leading cause of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Processed foods like bakery products are considered as the main source of sodium intake. Regarding the high consumption ratio of wheat bread, it is counted as the main contributor of sodium intake by the European food Safety Authorization and World Health Organization. Consequently, its salt reduction is considerably important to postpone adverse effects induced by sodium. Salt is used in wheat bread as a technological and sensory improver. Different salt reduction strategies (e.g. sodium free mineral salts, hollow salts, uneven salt distribution, amino acids and plant based salt boosters) had been assessed to reduce the sodium content in wheat bread. Despite their potential efficiency to partially imitate the technological and sensorial characteristics of salt in wheat breads, challenges also existed which may restrict their consumption level. Considering the importance of wheat bread in our daily diet, its high sodium content and the critical role of salt in its technological characteristics this study is aimed to review the influence of different salt reduction strategies in wheat bread from technological perspective.

The Effect of Sea Salt with Low Sodium Content on Dough Rheological Properties and Bread Quality. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12094344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of the addition of sea salt with low sodium content (SS) in a refined wheat flour at the levels of 0.3%, 0.6%, 0.9% 1.2% and 1.5% on the rheological properties of the dough during mixing, extension, pasting and fermentation and the bread quality in terms of bread physical properties, crumb and crust color, texture and sensory characteristics. According to the data we obtained, the SS presented a strengthening effect on the dough network by increasing its stability, dough development time, energy and resistance. Moreover, the SS addition resulted in an increase in dough extensibility, to a delay of the gelatinization process and an increase of the falling number value. The bakery products obtained with the SS were of a higher quality compared to the control sample, presenting better physical and textural characteristics, a darker color and being more appreciated by consumers with the increased level of SS addition in the wheat flour. According to the sodium content from the bread recipe, the bread samples obtained may be classified as products with a very low sodium content of up to a 0.6% SS addition in the wheat flour or with a low sodium content if at least 0.9% SS is contained in the bread recipe.
