Discrimination and characterization of different ultrafine grinding times on the flavor characteristic of fish gelatin using E-nose, HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS. Food Chem 2024; 433:137299. [PMID: 37660600 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2023.137299] [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: 06/29/2023] [Revised: 08/23/2023] [Accepted: 08/24/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
Three different methods were used to identify and analyze the flavor of fish gelatin with different ultrafine grinding time (0, 2, 4 and 8 h). The results of electronic nose showed that overall flavor of the samples changed. HS-SPME-GC-MS identified 65 volatile compounds, including 18 aldehydes, 7 ketones, 7 alkanes, 11 alcohols, 8 esters, 7 phenols, and 7 acids. HS-GC-IMS identified 46 volatile compounds, including 21 aldehydes, 5 ketones, 5 alcohols, 6 esters, 7 acids, 1 ether, and 1 amine. The particle size analysis results indicate that the size distribution decreases from 918.97-1167.16 and 1388.81-1780.40 nm to 157.63-177.37 and 285.90-344.55 nm with the increased of grinding time. The SEM analysis results indicate that the change in flavor characteristics of FG is due to the different storage and release abilities of volatile compounds in FG with different particle sizes.

Untargeted metabolomics analysis of non-volatile metabolites and dynamic changes of antioxidant capacity in Douchi with edible mushroom by-products. Food Chem 2024; 431:137066.

Abstract
This study investigated the non-volatile metabolites and antioxidant activity of Douchi, an edible mushroom by-product. A total of 695 non-volatile metabolites were detected using UPLC-MS/MS-based metabolomics analysis, and the greatest impact on metabolite composition was observed during Koji-making and the first 5 days of post-fermentation. Throughout the fermentation process, 366 differential metabolites were identified, with flavonoids being the most prominent followed by amino acids and their derivatives, which were found to be important for the quality of edible mushroom by-product Douchi (EMD). The antioxidant capacity of EMD significantly increased with the longer fermentation time, which might be associated with the conversion of isoflavone glycosides to aglycones, amino acids and their derivatives, free fatty acids, group A saponins, and phenolic acids. These findings suggested that different fermentation phases of EMD significantly affected the non-volatile metabolite profile and antioxidant capacity.

Cooperative combination of non-targeted metabolomics and targeted taste analysis for elucidating the taste metabolite profile and pathways of traditional fermented golden pompano. Food Res Int 2023; 169:112865. [PMID: 37254315 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2023.112865] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/14/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2023] [Accepted: 04/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/01/2023]
Abstract
Fermentation plays a key role in taste formation in traditional fermented golden pompano and involves a series of complex metabolic reactions. Indeed, the taste profile of fermented golden pompano exhibits remarkable variation during early fermentation. Herein, nutritional fingerprinting (proteins, amino acids, lipids, etc.) was applied to discriminate the various biomolecular changes involved in golden pompano fermentation. Among the differential metabolites, amino acids, small peptides, lipids, and nucleotides were considered taste-related compounds. An increase in the amino acid content was observed during fermentation, while the peptide content decreased. Glutamic acid, alanine, and lysine had the highest taste activity values and were the main contributors to taste formation. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis revealed that taste formation was primarily associated with alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism. These findings provide a deeper understanding of taste mechanisms and establish a basis for the targeted regulation of taste formation in the fermented fish industry.

Abstract
Although fish and shrimp are commonly consumed in daily life and recognized as nutrient-rich species, global profiling of the endogenous nutrients in these species is lacking. Here, we optimized the sample preparation and data acquisition methods of metabolomics to comprehensively characterize the nutrients in selected fish and shrimp species and compared them with those in beef, leading to the identification of 71 differentially expressed metabolites. Of these, docosahexaenoic acid, taurine, choline and (lyso)phosphatidylcholines were found to be abundant in the examined fish species, while several nonessential amino acids were rich in the analyzed shrimp samples. Subsequently, the biological functions of the metabolites rich in shrimp were queried. Intriguingly, the examined nutrients exemplified by proline can significantly mitigate the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory responses in BV2 cells and RAW264.7 cells. Collectively, our findings imply that the dietary intake of certain fish and shrimp species may benefit human health through alleviating inflammatory responses.

Abstract
Volatolomics and metabolomics were performed to explore the generation mechanism of the characteristic flavor of mandarin fish during fermentation. This study revealed a novel finding that umami-tasting amino acids, succinic acid, and peptides increased, while taste-presenting nucleotides decreased after fermentation. The results showed that 19 key aroma compounds were identified. The most nitrogenous compounds were produced after fermentation, the total concentration of which was >5 mg/kg. A high odor activity value of 443 was established for stinky indole. PLS-DA showed that sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, hypoxanthine, creatine, and trimethylamine N-oxide were the key metabolites associated with the key volatiles. Umami-tasting amino acids could contribute to the characteristic taste. Metabolic pathway analysis revealed that tryptophan metabolism, trimethylamine metabolism, and monoterpenoid biosynthesis were the potential generation pathways of indole, trimethylamine, and terpenoids, respectively. Collectively, the results provide thoughts for targeted controlling the flavor of fermented mandarin fish.

Abstract
Spontaneous fermentation is a process that depends on substrates' physical characteristics, crop variety, and postharvest practices; it induces variations in the metabolites that are responsible for the taste, aroma, and quality. Metabolomics makes it possible to detect key metabolites using chemometrics and makes it possible to establish patterns or identify biomarker behaviors under certain conditions at a given time. Therefore, sensitive and highly efficient analytical techniques allow for studying the metabolomic fingerprint changes during fermentation; which identify and quantify metabolites related to taste and aroma formation of an adequate processing time. This review shows that studying metabolomics in spontaneous fermentation permits the characterization of spontaneous fermentation in different stages. Also, it demonstrates the possibility of modulating the quality of cocoa by improving the spontaneous fermentation time (because of volatile aromatic compounds formation), thus standardizing the process to obtain attributes and quality that will later impact the chocolate quality.

Abstract
Chinese water chestnut (CWC) is popular among consumers due to its unique flavor and crisp and sweet taste. Thus far, the key substances affecting the taste compound of CWC are still unclear. In this study, we used UPLC-MS/MS and an electronic tongue system to study the effects of four typical steaming and cooking methods, cooking without peel for 10 min (PC), steaming without peel for 15 min (PS), cooking with peel for 30 min (WPC), steaming with peel for 30 min (WPS), on the taste compound generation and variation of CWC, and revealed the secret of its crisp and sweet taste. The results show that the electronic tongue can effectively identify the taste profile of CWC, and the effective tastes of CWC were umami, bitterness, saltiness, and sweetness. We screened 371 differential compounds from 640 metabolic species. Among them, nucleotides and their derivatives, carbohydrates, organic acids and their derivatives, and amino acids and their derivatives are closely related to the key taste of CWC, and these compounds affected the taste of CWC through six related metabolic pathways: oxidative phosphorylation and purine metabolism; alanine, aspartate, and glutamate; bile secretion; amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism; the phenylpropane pathway; and toluene degradation. This study reveals the potential metabolic causes of taste compound generation and variation in the taste of CWC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Adult sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) cease feeding and migrate to spawning streams where males build nests, undergo final sexual maturation, and subsequently produce and release large quantities of bile acid pheromones that attract mature females. These animals are predicted to rearrange their metabolic pathways drastically to support their reproductive strategies, presenting advantageous opportunities to examine how sex and the maturation processes affect metabolism. OBJECTIVES The objective is to investigate the metabolic differences between sexes and maturation states in sea lamprey that support changes in physiological functions. METHODS We compared plasma metabolomes of spawning and prespawning sea lamprey in both sexes using both non-targeted and targeted metabolomics approaches using UPLC/MS-MS with electrospray ionization in both positive and negative modes. The data were processed using Progenesis QI, Compound Discoverer and XCMS softwares for alignment, peak picking, and deconvolution of the peaks. Principle component analyses (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analyses (PLS-DA) were performed using SIMCA and Metaboanalyst softwares to identify discriminating features, followed by fragmentation matching with extensive database search and pathway mapping. RESULTS The pheromonal bile acid biosynthesis was upregulated significantly in males compared to females. Spermiating males further upregulated bile acid biosynthesis by altering amino acid metabolisms, upregulating cofactors and nucleotide metabolisms, but downregulating carbohydrate and energy metabolisms. CONCLUSION Plasma metabolomes are sex- and maturation-dependent and reflect the special metabolic demands at each life stage and reproductive strategy.

Comparative Metabolomic Analysis of Moromi Fermented Using Different Aspergillus oryzae Strains. Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27196182.

Abstract
Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae) is an important starter in the fermentation of koji and moromi. However, the effect of different A. oryzae strains on the quality of moromi has rarely been studied. For this reason, this study analyzed the physicochemical properties, enzyme activity, sensory quality, and metabolite profiles of moromi samples fermented using two strains (A. oryzae KCCM12012P (moromi-1) and KCCM12804P (moromi-2)), which were newly isolated from fermented soy foods, and compared them to those of a commercialized A. oryzae strain (control). Amino-type nitrogen contents of moromi-1 and moromi-2 samples were higher than that of control moromi, and their amylase and protease activities were also higher. Moreover, metabolite profiles of moromi were significantly altered according to strains. In particular, the levels of many amino acids, peptides, nucleotides, and acidic compounds were altered, which resulted in changes in the sensory quality of moromi. Although volatile compounds were not investigated, the results suggested that the quality of moromi was significantly different for newly isolated strains, especially A. oryzae KCCM12804P, and they were superior to the commercial strain in terms of taste-related substances. Therefore, these strains could be used as good starters to produce moromi and soy sauce with good sensory quality.
