Abstract
Self-fermented oyster homogenates were prepared to investigate core microbes and their correlations with flavor formation mechanisms. Five bacterial and four fungal genera were identified. Correlation analysis showed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Kazachstania, and L. pentosus were core species for the flavor of fermented products. Four core microbes were selected for inoculation into homogenates. Twelve key aroma compounds with odor activity values >1 were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae were beneficial for producing key aroma compounds such as 1-octen-3-ol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, and heptanal. Fermentation with four microbes resulted in significant increases in contents of Asp, Glu, Lys, inosine monophosphate, and guanosine monophosphate, which provided freshness and sweetness. Fermentation with four microbes resulted in high digestibility, antioxidant abilities, and zinc contents. This study has elucidated the mechanism of flavor formation by microbial action and provides a reference for targeted flavor control in fermented oyster products.

[PMID: 38614830 DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiosc.2024.02.008] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Kopyor is a coconut with unique characteristics from Indonesia, one of the largest coconut producers in the world. Kopyor is an edible mature coconut with soft endosperm. Although this fruit is one of the most popular coconuts in the world, there are limited studies on its properties, including its sensory attributes and metabolite profiles. This study investigates the characteristics of kopyor using sensory evaluation, a widely targeted metabolomics approach, and multivariate analysis. The liquid (water) and solid (flesh) endosperms were collected as the samples. The results showed that kopyor has characteristics that distinguish it from normal mature and young coconuts. Kopyor water has a milky, creamy, nutty, bitter, and astringent taste with an oily aftertaste and mouthfeel. Kopyor flesh is soft and moist and gives a sandy mouth feel. This study analyzed the sensory attributes of the kopyor endosperm for the first time and compared it with those of normal mature and young coconuts. A gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis showed that kopyor contained wider variety of metabolites than normal coconuts of the same age. Based on the differential analysis and orthogonal projections to latent structures-regression, kopyor water was characterized by the accumulation of flavor-related metabolites, such as amino acids and organic acids, which contributed to its sensory complexity. This study solidified the effects of maturation and endosperm type on metabolite accumulation in kopyor endosperm. This pioneering information will lead to the future use of kopyor and other unique coconuts worldwide for food, contributing to the sustainability of the coconut industry.

Widely targeted metabolomics combined with E-tongue and E-nose reveal dynamic changes of tender coconut water in responses to the infection of Ceratocystis paradoxa. Food Chem 2024; 439:138035.

Abstract
Ceratocystis paradoxa is a major cause of postharvest disease in tender coconuts worldwide. We conducted a comprehensive study using widely targeted metabolomics, electronic tongue (E-tongue), and electronic nose (E-nose) analyses to investigate the impacts of C. paradoxa invasion on the quality of tender coconut water (TCW) from fresh control (FC), uninoculated (UN), skin-inoculated (SI), and deep-inoculated (DI) nuts. DI exhibited significantly higher taste indicators associated with bitterness, saltiness, astringency aftertaste, and bitter aftertaste, as well as odor sensor values related to various compounds such as long-chain alkanes, hydrides, methane, organic sulfides, etc. Invasion of C. paradoxa into the endosperm altered the flavor characteristics of TCW mainly through the modulation of carbohydrate and secondary metabolite pathways. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between the differentially expressed flavorful metabolites and the sensor indicators of the E-nose and E-tongue. These findings offer valuable insights into understanding the impact of C. paradoxa infection on coconuts.

Abstract
Chili bean paste is a traditional flavor sauce, and its flavor compounds are closely related to its microflora. This study focused on investigating the content of bioactive compounds, flavor compounds, and microbial communities during the post-ripening fermentation of chili bean paste, aiming to provide a reference for improving the flavor of chili bean paste by regulating microorganisms. Compared to no post-ripening fermentation, the content of organic acids increased significantly (p < 0.05), especially that of citric acid (1.51 times). Glutamic acid (Glu) was the most abundant of the 17 free amino acids at 4.0 mg/g. The aroma profiles of the samples were significantly influenced by fifteen of the analyzed volatile compounds, especially methyl salicylate, methyl caproate, and 2-octanol (ROAV > 1). Latilactobacillus (27.45%) and Pseudomonas (9.01%) were the dominant bacterial genera, and Starmerella (32.95%) and Pichia (17.01%) were the dominant fungal genera. Weissella, Lacticaseibacillus, Pichia, and Kazachstania had positive effects on volatile flavoring compounds, which enriched the texture and flavor of the chili bean paste. Therefore, the microbial-community activity during the post-ripening fermentation is the key to enhance the flavor quality of the product.

Abstract
The increase in world population has generated a higher demand for quality proteins, increasing the production in meat industry but also the generation of thousands of tons of by-products, with a negative economic and environmental impact. The valorisation of slaughterhouse by-products by giving by-products a new use as food ingredient is one of the best strategies to add value while reducing environmental damage. Flavour is one of the most influential parameters in the purchasing decision of consumers, and in meat products it is mostly influenced by the content in free amino acids and nucleotides. In this study, the potential of 4 pork organs (liver, kidney, lung, and brain) as a source of flavour-related substances was investigated. Liver proved to be the organ showing the highest content of free and total amino acids related to taste, while kidney was the organ with the highest content of umami nucleotides. The results of the Taste Activity Value indicated that umami, sweet, and bittersweet amino acids are main responsible for the taste of the organs. On the other hand, the synergy between amino acids and nucleotides in relation with umami taste was determined, showing liver and kidney the best values in Equivalent Umami Content. In addition, the antioxidant activity of the organs was determined, and liver and kidney showed the highest antioxidant activity in all assays (p < 0.05). In conclusion, pork organs, especially liver and kidney, may be good candidates to be used as raw materials to produce functional flavouring ingredients.

Mechanism of polyhydroxy alcohol-mediated curing on moisture migration of minced pork tenderloin: On the basis of molecular docking. Food Chem X 2022; 15:100401.

Abstract
Polyhydroxy alcohols affect salt diffusion and moisture migration. Polyhydroxy alcohols cause the water to migrate out to reduce aw in meat. Polyhydroxy alcohols retard salt diffusion into the meat by forming a viscose barrier. Polyhydroxy alcohols can prevent meat structural damage by binding to myosin.
This study investigated the mechanism of glycerol, xylitol, and sorbitol-mediated curing of cured minced pork tenderloin. The use of polyhydroxy alcohol during mediated curing significantly reduced the salt content (p < 0.01) and water activity (aw) of the cured pork tenderloin. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (LFNMR) revealed that 1 % glycerol, 1 % xylitol, 1 % sorbitol, and 10 % glycerol-mediated curing decreased water mobility, and improved water holding capacity (WHC), and produced uniform dense microstructures. Raman spectroscopy and molecular docking indicated that polyhydroxy alcohols formed hydrogen bonds with myosin, as well as hydrogen bonds with free water molecules to convert free water into bound water to reduce aw, and altered the hydrophobic environment of myosin surface to reduce structural damage caused by high salt content. In conclusion, using polyhydroxy alcohol to mediate curing can effectively reduce the salt content of cured meat and provide a theoretical basis for its application in the cured meat industry.

Abstract
Protein, which is the main component of meat, is degraded and oxidized during meat fermentation. During fermentation, macromolecular proteins are degraded into small peptides and free amino acids, and oxidation leads to amino acid side chain modification, molecular crosslinking polymerization, and peptide chain cleavage. At different metabolic levels, these reactions may affect the protein structure and the color, tenderness, flavor, and edible value of fermented meat products. Lactic acid bacteria are currently a research hotspot for application in the fermented meat industry. Its growth metabolism and derivative metabolites formed during the fermentation of meat products regulate protein degradation and oxidation to a certain extent and improve product quality. Therefore, this paper mainly reviews the changes occurring in proteins in fermented meat products and their effects on the quality of the products. Referring to studies on the effects of lactic acid bacteria on protein degradation and oxidation from all over the world, this review aims to provide a relevant reference for improving the quality of fermented meat products.
