Abstract
Yeast-insect interactions are one of the most interesting long-standing relationships whose research has contributed to our understanding of yeast biodiversity and their industrial applications. Although insect-derived yeast strains are exploited for industrial fermentations, only a limited number of such applications has been documented. The search for novel yeasts from insects is attractive to augment the currently domesticated and commercialized production strains. More specifically, there is potential in tapping the insects native to southern Africa. Southern Africa is home to a disproportionately high fraction of global biodiversity with a cluster of biomes and a broad climate range. This review presents arguments on the roles of the mutualistic relationship between yeasts and insects, the presence of diverse pristine environments and a long history of spontaneous food and beverage fermentations as the potential source of novelty. The review further discusses the recent advances in novelty of industrial strains of insect origin, as well as various ancient and modern-day industries that could be improved by use yeasts from insect origin. The major focus of the review is on the relationship between insects and yeasts in southern African ecosystems as a potential source of novel industrial yeast strains for modern bioprocesses.

Economic Injury Levels and Economic Thresholds for Leucoptera coffeella as a Function of Insecticide Application Technology in Organic and Conventional Coffee ( Coffea arabica), Farms. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:585. [PMID: 38475432 DOI: 10.3390/plants13050585] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 02/08/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
Leucoptera coffeella (Lepidoptera: Lyonetiidae) is one of the main pests in coffee crops. The economic injury level (EIL) is the lowest density of the pest at which economic damages match the costs of control measures. The economic threshold (ET) is the density of the pest at which control measures must be taken so that this population does not reach the EIL. These are the main indices used for pest control decision-making. Control of L. coffeella is carried out by manual, tractor, airplane or drone applications. This work aimed to determine EILs and ETs for L. coffeella as a function of insecticide application technology in conventional and organic Coffea arabica crops. Data were collected over five years in commercial C. arabica crops on seven 100 ha central pivots. The cost of control in organic crops was 16.98% higher than conventional. The decreasing order of control cost was manual > drone > airplane > tractor application. Coffee plants were tolerant to low densities (up to 15% mined leaves) of the pest that caused losses of up to 6.56%. At high pest densities (54.20% mined leaves), losses were high (85.62%). In organic and conventional crops and with the use of different insecticide application technologies, EIL and ET were similar. The EIL and ET were 14% and 11% of mined leaves, respectively. Therefore, these indices can be incorporated in integrated pest management programs in C. arabica crops. The indices determined as a function of insecticide application technology in organic and conventional coffee are important as they serve producers with different technological levels. Additionally, EILs and ETs can contribute to more sustainable production, as control methods will only be employed when the pest density reaches these indices.

Abstract
Yeasts are a widespread group of microorganisms that are receiving increasing attention from scientists and industry. Their diverse biological activities and broad-spectrum antifungal activity make them promising candidates for application, especially in postharvest biocontrol of fruits and vegetables and food biopreservation. The present review focuses on recent knowledge of the mechanisms by which yeasts inhibit pathogenic fungi and/or spoilage fungi and bacteria. The main mechanisms of action of bioprotective yeasts include competition for nutrients and space, synthesis and secretion of antibacterial compounds, mycoparasitism and the secretion of lytic enzymes, biofilm formation, quorum sensing, induced systemic resistance of fruit host, as well as the production of reactive oxygen species. Preadaptation of yeasts to abiotic stresses such as cold acclimatization and sublethal oxidative stress can improve the effectiveness of antagonistic yeasts and thus more effectively play biocontrol roles under a wider range of environmental conditions, thereby reducing economic losses. Combined application with other antimicrobial substances can effectively improve the efficacy of yeasts as biocontrol agents. Yeasts show great potential as substitute for chemical additives in various food fields, but their commercialization is still limited. Hence, additional investigation is required to explore the prospective advancements of yeasts in the field of biopreservation for food.

Abstract
As a metaphor, lemons get a bad rap; however the proverb 'if life gives you lemons, make lemonade' is often used in a motivational context. The same could be said of Hanseniaspora in winemaking. Despite its predominance in vineyards and grape must, this lemon-shaped yeast is underappreciated in terms of its contribution to the overall sensory profile of fine wine. Species belonging to this apiculate yeast are known for being common isolates not just on grape berries, but on many other fruits. They play a critical role in the early stages of a fermentation and can influence the quality of the final product. Their deliberate addition within mixed-culture fermentations shows promise in adding to the complexity of a wine and thus provide sensorial benefits. Hanseniaspora species are also key participants in the fermentations of a variety of other foodstuffs ranging from chocolate to apple cider. Outside of their role in fermentation, Hanseniaspora species have attractive biotechnological possibilities as revealed through studies on biocontrol potential, use as a whole-cell biocatalyst and important interactions with Drosophila flies. The growing amount of 'omics data on Hanseniaspora is revealing interesting features of the genus that sets it apart from the other Ascomycetes. This review collates the fields of research conducted on this apiculate yeast genus.

Abstract
To develop a process for low-cost and ecologically friendly coffee fermentation, civet gut bacteria were isolated and screened to be used for fermentation. Among 223 isolates from civet feces, two bacteria exhibited strong protease, amylase, lipase, pectinase, and cellulase activities. By analyzing 16S rDNA phylogeny, those bacteria were identified to be Lactiplantibacillus plantarum JT-PN39 (LP) and Paenibacillus motobuensis JT-A29 (PM), where their potency (pure or mixed bacterial culture) for fermenting 5 L of arabica parchment coffee in 48-72 h was further determined. To characterize the role of bacteria in coffee fermentation, growth and pH were also determined. For mixed starter culture conditions, the growth of PM was not detected after 36 h of fermentation due to the low acid conditions generated by LP. Coffee quality was evaluated using a cupping test, and LP-fermented coffee expressed a higher cupping score, with a main fruity and sour flavor, and a dominant caramel-honey-like aroma. Antioxidant and anti-foodborne pathogenic bacteria activity, including total phenolic compounds of PM and LP fermented coffee extracts, was significantly higher than those of ordinary coffee. In addition, LP-fermented coffee expressed the highest antibacterial and antioxidant activities among the fermented coffee. The toxicity test was examined in the murine macrophage RAW 264.7 cell, and all fermented coffee revealed 80-90% cell variability, which means that the fermentation process does not generate any toxicity. In addition, qualifications of non-volatile and volatile compounds in fermented coffee were examined by LC-MS and GC-MS to discriminate the bacterial role during the process by PCA plot. The flavors of fermented coffee, including volatile and non-volatile compounds, were totally different between the non-fermented and fermented conditions. Moreover, the PCA plot showed slightly different flavors among fermentations with different starter cultures. For both the cupping test and biological activities, this study suggests that LP has potential for health benefits in coffee fermentation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Microencapsulated yeasts are a novel alternative as a delivery matrix for microbiological starters. This technology aims to protect the active compounds from adverse environmental conditions and prolong their useful life and could also improve the conditions of the starters for cocoa fermentation. The present study established the effective dose to apply the microencapsulated yeast Pichia kudriavzevii as a microbiological starter of fermentation and biotechnological strategy for promoting the biochemical dynamics and sensory expression of the cocoa variety CCN-51. For this, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3% of microencapsulated P. kudriavzevii yeast insolated from the artisanal fermentation process of cocoa was added to the cocoa mass to be fermented and studied on a laboratory scale. RESULTS The partial least squares regression of fermentation was related in four quartiles, comprising the hedonic judgments of the sensory evaluation with the biochemical traits of the cocoa liquor, finding a high correlation between the physicochemical variables total phenols, percentage of insufficiently fermented grains, and percentage of total acidity, with a level of bitterness and defects found in liquors with the addition of 0.5% of microencapsulated starter. The treatments with the addition of 2% and 3% of the inoculum showed a high correlation between the variables pH, total anthocyanins, cocoa, fruity and floral aromas, sweet taste, and general aroma perception. CONCLUSION The higher presence of volatile compounds such as 2,3-butanediol associated with cocoa aroma and 1-phenyl-2-ethanol and acetophenone associated with aromatic descriptors of fruity and floral series allowed establishment in 2% of microencapsulated P. kudriavzevii yeast, comprising the effective dose for promoting the biochemical dynamics of laboratory-scale fermentation and the development of cocoa, as well as the fruity and floral aromas of cocoa CCN-51 liquor. The microencapsulation is suitable for cocoa starters. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are a current subject in many works since coffee is the second most consumed beverage worldwide; however, coffee generates a high amount of waste (SCG) and can cause environmental problems if not discarded properly. Therefore, several studies on SCG valorization have been published, highlighting its waste as a valuable resource for different applications, such as biofuel, energy, biopolymer precursors, and composite production. This review provides an overview of the works using SCG as biopolymer precursors and for polymer composite production. SCG are rich in carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and minerals. In particular, carbohydrates (polysaccharides) can be extracted and fermented to synthesize lactic acid, succinic acid, or polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA). On the other hand, it is possible to extract the coffee oil and to synthesize PHA from lipids. Moreover, SCG have been successfully used as a filler for composite production using different polymer matrices. The results show the reasonable mechanical, thermal, and rheological properties of SCG to support their applications, from food packaging to the automotive industry.

Abstract
In this work, the hydrothermal extract of spent coffee grounds (SCG) was used to make alcoholic beverages with commercial S. cerevisiae strain D254. The sensory characteristics of the SCG alcoholic beverages were analyzed using sensory description, electronic nose, electronic tongue, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results suggested that the supplement of 0.20% (NH4)2HPO4 was effective at improving growth and alcohol fermentation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae D254 in SCG extract. SCG fermented beverages (SFB) and SCG distilled spirits (SDS) produced at the optimized fermentation conditions had appropriate physicochemical properties and different sensory characteristics. Fermentation aromas, especially esters, were produced in SFB, increasing the complexity of aroma and lowing the irritating aroma. The combination of original and fermentation components might balance the outstanding sourness, astringency, and saltiness tastes of SFB. The fermentation aroma was partially lost and the sourness, bitterness, astringency, and saltiness tastes were relieved in distillation, leading to the relatively more prominent aroma typicality of coffee and a soft taste. These findings lay a foundation for producing new high-quality coffee-flavored alcoholic beverages or flavoring liquors.

Abstract
With a favored taste and various bioactivities, coffee has been consumed as a daily beverage worldwide. The current study presented a multi-faceted comparative metabolomics approach dissecting commercially available coffee products in the Middle East region for quality assessment and functional food purposes using NMR and GC/MS platforms. NMR metabolites fingerprinting led to identification of 18 metabolites and quantification (qNMR) of six prominent markers for standardization purposes. An increase of β-ethanolamine (MEA) reported for the first time, 5-(hydroxymethyl) furfural (5-HMF), concurrent with a reduction in chlorogenic acid, kahweol, and sucrose levels post roasting as revealed using multivariate data analyses (MVA). The diterpenes kahweol and cafestol were identified in green and roasted Coffea arabica, while 16-O-methyl cafestol in roasted C. robusta. Moreover, GC/MS identified a total of 143 metabolites belonging to 15 different chemical classes, with fructose found enriched in green C. robusta versus fatty acids abundance, i.e., palmitic and stearic acids in C. arabica confirming NMR results. These potential results aided to identify novel quality control attributes, i.e., ethanolamine, for coffee in the Middle East region and have yet to be confirmed in other coffee specimens.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Coffee is a popular beverage because of its pleasant aroma and distinctive flavor. The flavor of coffee results from chemical transformations influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including altitude, geographical origin, and postharvest processing. Despite is the importance of grading coffee quality, there is no report on the dominant factor that influences the metabolomic profile of green coffee beans and the correlated metabolites for each factor. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the total metabolite profile of coffees from different altitudes and coffees subjected to different postharvest processing. METHOD Arabica green coffee beans obtained from different geographical origins and different altitudes (400 and 800 m) and produced by different postharvest processes (dry, honey, and washed process) were used in this study. Coffee samples obtained from altitudes of 400-1600 m above sea level from various origins that were produced by the washed method were used for further study with regard to altitudes. Samples were subjected to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis and visualized using principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares (OPLS) regression analysis. RESULTS The PCA results showed sample separation based on postharvest processing in PC1 and sample separation based on altitude in PC2. A clear separation between samples from different altitudes was observed if the samples were subjected to the same postharvest processing method, and the samples were of the same origin. Based on this result, OPLS analysis was conducted using coffee samples obtained from various altitudes with the same postharvest processing. An OPLS model using altitude as a response variable and 79 metabolites annotated from the GC/MS analysis as an explanatory variable was constructed with good R2 and Q2 values. CONCLUSION Postharvest processing was found to be the dominant factor affecting coffee metabolite composition; this was followed by geographical origin and altitude. The metabolites glutamic acid and galactinol were associated with the washed and honey process, while glycine, lysine, sorbose, fructose, glyceric acid, and glycolic acid were associated with the dry process. Two metabolites with high variable influence on projection scores in the OPLS model for altitude were inositol and serotonin, which showed positive and negative correlations, respectively. This is the first study to report characteristic coffee metabolites obtained from different altitudes.

Coffee fermentation involves the action of microorganisms, whose metabolism has a significant influence on the composition of the beans and, consequently, on the beverage's sensory characteristics. In this study, the microbial diversity during the wet fermentation of Coffea arabica L. in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (SNSM) in Colombia was explored by high-throughput sequencing and the resulting cup quality through the standards of the Specialty Coffee Association. The taxonomic assignment of sequence reads showed a high microbial diversity comprised of 695 bacterial and 156 fungal genera. The microbial community was dominated by the Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) Leuconostoc, the yeast Kazachstania, and the Acetic Acid Bacteria (AAB) Acetobacter. Co-occurrence relationships suggested synergistic patterns between populations of LAB-AAB, yeasts-AAB, Leuconostoc-Prevotella, LAB-ABB-Selenomonas, and yeasts-fungi-nonLAB-nonAAB, which may result in the production of metabolites that positively impact the sensory attributes of coffee. The beverages produced were classified as specialty coffees, and their score was positively influenced by the fungal richness and the abundance of unclassified Lactobacillales, Pichia, and Pseudomonas. The findings show the richness and microbial diversity of the SNSM and serve as input for future research such as the analysis of microbial-derived metabolites and the establishment of starter cultures in coffee processing that guarantee the generation of high-quality beverages, the standardization of processes, the reduction of economic losses, and the production of value-added products that allow taking advantage of specialty coffee market.
