Biotechnol Adv 2024; 74:108397. [PMID: 38909664 DOI: 10.1016/j.biotechadv.2024.108397] [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: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
In order to improve the flavor profiles, food security, probiotic effects and shorten the fermentation period of traditional fermented foods, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were often considered as the ideal candidate to participate in the fermentation process. In general, LAB strains possessed the ability to develop flavor compounds via carbohydrate metabolism, protein hydrolysis and amino acid metabolism, lipid hydrolysis and fatty acid metabolism. Based on the functional properties to inhibit spoilage microbes, foodborne pathogens and fungi, those species could improve the safety properties and prolong the shelf life of fermented products. Meanwhile, influence of LAB on texture and functionality of fermented food were also involved in this review. As for the adverse effect carried by environmental challenges during fermentation process, engineering strategies based on exogenous addition, cross protection, and metabolic engineering to improve the robustness and of LAB were also discussed in this review. Besides, this review also summarized the potential strategies including microbial co-culture and metabolic engineering for improvement of fermentation performance in LAB strains. The authors hope this review could contribute to provide an understanding and insight into improving the industrial functionalities of LAB.

Substitution of Animal Fat and Sodium Nitrite with Hemp Seed Oil: Effect on the Nutritional Value, Sensory Characteristics, and Shelf Life of Fermented Salami. Foods 2024; 13:2584.

Abstract
Recently, products of plant origin have been utilized to extend the shelf life of meat products. This study examined the impact of hemp seed oil as a replacement for animal fat and sodium nitrite on the nutritional, physicochemical, technological, and sensory traits of fermented salamis. Five treatments were prepared: S0 (100 mg/kg NaNO2), S1 (2% hemp oil and 50 mg/kg NaNO2), S2 (4% hemp oil and 50 mg/kg NaNO2), S3 (2% hemp oil), and S4 (4% hemp oil). The addition of hemp seed oil did not affect proximate composition but improved fatty acid composition and lipid quality nutritional indices. Microbial growth was consistent across all treatments. Active acidity (pH) and water activity (aw) were influenced by hemp seed oil and/or sodium nitrite. Salamis containing only hemp seed oil exhibited lower redness and chroma values during storage. Hemp seed oil led to higher lipid peroxidation, mitigated by sodium nitrite. The addition of hemp seed oil and varying levels of sodium nitrite significantly impacted salami texture. Sensory evaluation showed consumer acceptance of hemp seed oil-enhanced salamis. In conclusion, hemp seed oil can be used as a functional ingredient to improve the nutritional value and healthiness of fermented meat products when combined with reduced sodium nitrite content.

The effects of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 3-19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus 18-1 on preventing the accumulation of biogenic amines and promoting the production of volatile organic compounds during sour meat fermentation. Int J Food Microbiol 2024; 421:110806. [PMID: 38941886 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2024.110806] [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: 01/22/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/21/2024] [Indexed: 06/30/2024]
Abstract
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are frequently used in meat fermentation, and mixed stater cultures are reported to perform better than single ones. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 3-19 and Pediococcus pentosaceus 18-1 were chosen from 28 sour-meat-origin strains to examine the effects of single and combined inoculation on sour meat quality. Natural fermentation was used as a control to investigate changes in pH, water activity (aw), amino acid nitrogen (AN), texture, microbial diversity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during fermentation. The pH and aw of each inoculation group were significantly decreased, and AN content was significantly increased. The inoculation of P. pentosaceus 18-1 significantly reduced putrescine, cadaverine, and tryptamine content (p < 0.05), while the inoculation of Lpb. plantarum 3-19 significantly reduced cadaverine amounts (p < 0.05). At the fermentation endpoint, the total biogenic amines content in the C group was 992.96 ± 14.07, which was 1.65, 2.57, and 3.07 times higher than that in the Lp, Pe, and M groups, respectively. The mixed inoculation group combined the advantages of both strains and decreased total biogenic amines most significantly. At the end of fermentation, the VOCs in C, Lp, Pe, and M groups were 10.11, 11.56, 12.45, and 13.39 times higher than those at the beginning of fermentation. Inoculation promoted the production of key VOCs (OAV > 2000) such as heptanal, octanal, and (E)-2-nonanal. The mixed inoculation group had the highest variety and content of VOCs and the highest content of the above key VOCs, significantly enhancing its fruity, floral, ester, and other aromas. Sensory evaluation indicated that the M group had the best overall acceptability. Finally, it was suggested that a combination of Lpb. plantarum 3-19 and P. pentosaceus 18-1 is a novel and efficient starter culture for processing sour meat since they lower the amounts of biogenic amines in the meat and promote the production of VOCs.

Abstract
The need to increase food safety and improve human health has led to a worldwide increase in interest in gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), produced by lactic acid bacteria (LABs). GABA, produced from glutamic acid in a reaction catalyzed by glutamate decarboxylase (GAD), is a four-carbon, non-protein amino acid that is increasingly used in the food industry to improve the safety/quality of foods. In addition to the possible positive effects of GABA, called a postbiotic, on neuroprotection, improving sleep quality, alleviating depression and relieving pain, the various health benefits of GABA-enriched foods such as antidiabetic, antihypertension, and anti-inflammatory effects are also being investigated. For all these reasons, it is not surprising that efforts to identify LAB strains with a high GABA productivity and to increase GABA production from LABs through genetic engineering to increase GABA yield are accelerating. However, GABA's contributions to food safety/quality and human health have not yet been fully discussed in the literature. Therefore, this current review highlights the synthesis and food applications of GABA produced from LABs, discusses its health benefits such as, for example, alleviating drug withdrawal syndromes and regulating obesity and overeating. Still, other potential food and drug interactions (among others) remain unanswered questions to be elucidated in the future. Hence, this review paves the way toward further studies.

The Potential Correlation between Bacterial Diversity and the Characteristic Volatile Flavor Compounds of Sichuan Sauce-Flavored Sausage. Foods 2024; 13:2350. [PMID: 39123542 PMCID: PMC11312067 DOI: 10.3390/foods13152350] [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: 06/19/2024] [Revised: 07/20/2024] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
The distinctive taste of Sichuan sauce-flavored sausage comes from an intricate microbial metabolism. The correlation between microbial composition and distinct flavor components has not been researched. The study used headspace solid-phase microextraction action with gas chromatography mass spectrometry to find flavor components and high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA to look at the diversity and succession of microbial communities. The correlation network model forecasted the connection between essential bacteria and the development of flavors. The study revealed that the primary flavor compounds in Sichuan sauce-flavored sausages were alcohols, aldehydes, and esters. The closely related microbes were Leuconostoc, Pseudomonas, Psychrobacter, Flavobacterium, and Algoriella. The microbes aided in the production of various flavor compounds, such as 1-octen-3-ol, benzeneacetaldehyde, hexanal, (R,R)-2,3-butanediol, and ethyl caprylate. This work has enhanced our comprehension of the diverse functions that bacteria serve in flavor development during the fermentation of Sichuan sauce-flavored sausage.

Abstract
HuangYuXiang (HYX) is a colorful and flavorful traditional cuisine in China, which development of organoleptic attributes is a complex process. Flavor sensory attributes was explored through volatilomics, sensomics, macrogenomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics in seven HYXs. Group B demonstrated the highest sensory scores. A total of 41 volatiles were detected, of which 7 were identified as key volatiles. Caulobacteraceae sp., Psychrobacter faecalis, Ralstonia pickettii, Carnobacterium divergens, and Psychrobacter cibarius were representative bacteria in HYXs. A total of 679 lipids (251 differential lipids) and 329 (113 differential metabolites) metabolites were identified. The differential compounds were the main contributors to flavor differences. L-homocitrulline, arg-ser, 4-aminobenzoic acid, arg-gly, sucrose, pyridoxine, D-cyclohexylglycine, PC 21:4/22:6, PC O-15:0/22:5, PC O-20:2/20:5, and FA 18:2 were heavily accumulated under the microbial action, which in turn promoted the formation of aroma and taste substances. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the standardized processing of high-quality HYX.

Abstract
The quality of poultry meat offered to the consumer depends mainly on the level of hygiene during all stages of its production, storage time, and temperature. This study investigated the effect of refrigerated storage on the microbiological contamination, color, and pH of turkey thigh muscles stored at 1 °C over six days. Microbial growth, including total mesophilic aerobes, presumptive lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae, significantly increased, impacting the meat's sensory attributes and safety. On the 6th day of meat storage, the content of total mesophilic aerobes, presumptive lactic acid bacteria, and Enterobacteriaceae was 1.82 × 107 CFU/g, 1.00 × 104 CFU/g, and 1.87 × 105 CFU/g, respectively. The stability of color was assessed by quantifying the total heme pigments, comparing myoglobin, oxymyoglobin, and metmyoglobin concentrations, analyzing color parameters L*, a*, b*, and the sensory assessment of surface color, showing a decline in total heme pigments, three myoglobin forms, redness (a*) and lightness (L*). In contrast, yellowness (b*) increased. These changes were correlated with the growth of spoilage microorganisms that influenced the meat's pigmentation and pH, with a notable rise in pH associated with microbial metabolization. Based on the conducted research, it was found that the maximum storage time of turkey thigh muscles at a temperature of 1 °C is 4 days. On the 4th day of storage, the total mesophilic aerobe content was 3.5 × 105 CFU/g. This study underscores the critical need for maintaining controlled refrigeration conditions to mitigate spoilage, ensuring food safety, and preserving turkey meat's sensory and nutritional qualities. There is a need for further research to improve turkey meat storage techniques under specific temperature conditions by studying the impact of using varying packaging materials (with different barrier properties) or the application of natural preservatives. Additionally, future studies could focus on evaluating the effectiveness of cold chain management practices to ensure the quality and safety of turkey products during storage. By addressing these research gaps, practitioners and researchers can contribute to developing more efficient and sustainable turkey meat supply chains, which may help mitigate food wastage by safeguarding the quality and safety of the meat.

Abstract
This review examines the techno-functional properties of lactic acid bacteria (LABs) in the food industry, focusing on their potential health benefits. We discuss current findings related to the techno-functionality of LAB, which includes acidification, proteolytic and lipolytic features, and a variety of other biochemical activities. These activities include the production of antimicrobial compounds and the synthesis of exopolysaccharides that improve food safety and consumer sensory experience. LABs are also known for their antioxidant abilities, which help reduce oxidative reactions in foods and improve their functional properties. In addition, LABs' role as probiotics is known for their promising effects on gut health, immune system modulation, cholesterol control, and general wellbeing. Despite these advantages, several challenges hinder the effective production and use of probiotic LABs, such as maintaining strain viability during storage and transport as well as ensuring their efficacy in the gastrointestinal tract. Our review identifies these critical barriers and suggests avenues for future research.

The term Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) refers generically to a class of positional and geometric conjugated dienoic isomers of linoleic acid. Among the isomers of linoleic acid cis9, trans11-CLA (c9, t11-CLA) and trans10, cis12-CLA (t10, c12-CLA) are found to be biologically active isomers, and they occur naturally in milk, dairy products and meat from ruminants. In addition, some vegetables and some seafoods have also been reported to contain CLA. Although the CLA levels in these natural sources are insufficient to confer the essential health benefits, anti-carcinogenic or anti-cancer effects are of current interest. In the rumen, CLA is an intermediate of isomerization and the biohydrogenation process of linoleic acid to stearic acid conducted by ruminal microorganisms. In addition to rumen bacteria, some other bacteria, such as Propionibacterium, Bifidobacterium and some lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are also capable of producing CLA. In this regard, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (formerly Lactobacillus plantarum) has demonstrated the ability to produce CLA isomers from linoleic acid by multiple enzymatic activities, including hydration, dehydration, and isomerization. L. plantarum is one of the most versatile species of LAB and the bacterium is widely used in the food industry as a microbial food culture. Thus, in this review we critically analyzed the literature produced in the last ten years with the aim to highlight the potentiality as well as the optimal conditions for CLA production by L. plantarum. Evidence was provided suggesting that the use of appropriate strains of L. plantarum, as a starter or additional culture in the production of some fermented foods, can be considered a critical factor in the design of new CLA-enriched functional foods.

Molecules 2024; 29:940. [PMID: 38474451 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29050940] [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: 01/14/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 02/19/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
This study focuses on the behavior of volatile organic compounds in beef after irradiation with 1 MeV accelerated electrons with doses ranging from 0.25 kGy to 5 kGy to find reliable dose-dependent markers that could be used for establishing an effective dose range for beef irradiation. GC/MS analysis revealed that immediately after irradiation, the chemical yield and accumulation rate of lipid oxidation-derived aldehydes was higher than that of protein oxidation-derived aldehydes. The nonlinear dose-dependent relationship of the concentration of volatile organic compounds was explained using a mathematical model based on the simultaneous occurrence of two competing processes: decomposition of volatile compounds due to direct and indirect action of accelerated electrons, and accumulation of volatile compounds due to decomposition of other compounds and biomacromolecules. A four-day monitoring of the beef samples stored at 4 °C showed that lipid oxidation-derived aldehydes, protein oxidation-derived aldehydes and alkanes as well as alcohol ethanol as an indicator of bacterial activity were dose-dependent markers of biochemical processes occurring in the irradiated beef samples during storage: oxidative processes during direct and indirect action of irradiation, oxidation due to the action of reactive oxygen species, which are always present in the product during storage, and microbial-enzymatic processes. According to the mathematical model of the change in the concentrations of lipid oxidation-derived aldehydes over time in the beef samples irradiated with different doses, it was found that doses ranging from 0.25 kGy to 1 kGy proved to be most effective for beef irradiation with accelerated electrons, since this dose range decreases the bacterial content without considerable irreversible changes in chemical composition of chilled beef during storage.

Effects of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus on the Physicochemical, Microbial, and Flavor Changes of Sauce Meat during Storage. Foods 2024; 13:396. [PMID: 38338531 PMCID: PMC10855116 DOI: 10.3390/foods13030396] [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: 12/22/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 01/22/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae) and Kluyveromyces marxianus (K. marxianus) are often used as fermenters in yogurt and alcohol, and have been less studied within meat products. The yeasts were added to sauce meat, and the uninoculated group served as a control in this study to examine and compare the changing patterns of physicochemical and flavor characteristics of S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus on sauce meat during storage. The changes in moisture content, aw, pH, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), and other flavor characteristics were measured in sauce meat during the first, second, fourth, and sixth months after production. The following factors were examined: moisture content, aw, pH, TBARS, peroxide value (POV), acid value (AV), soluble protein (SP), free amino acid (FAA), and volatile flavoring compounds. With VIP > 1 and p < 0.05 as the screening conditions, the partial least squares model (PLS-DA) was used to assess the distinctive flavor components in the sausages. The findings demonstrated that the three groups' changes in sauce meat were comparable during the first two months of storage but differed significantly between the 4th and 6th months. The moisture content, water activity, and pH of the sauce meat decreased gradually with the storage time; TBARS, AV, and FAA increased significantly; SP decreased significantly from 2.61 to 1.72, while POV increased to 0.03 and then decreased to 0.02. The POV and TBARS values of the yeast-infected meat were substantially lower than those of the control group, and the POV and TBARS values of the meat inoculated with S. cerevisiae were particularly decreased (p < 0.05). The POV and TBARS values of SC (S. cerevisiae group) decreased by 49.09% and 40.15%, respectively, compared to CK (the control group) at the time of storage until June. The experimental group (KM: K. marxianus group) significantly increased the SP and FAA values of the sauce meat (p < 0.05) by 32.4% and 29.84% compared to the CK group, respectively. Esters and olefins as well as alcohols and esters were much greater in meat that had been supplemented with S. cerevisiae and K. marxianus than in meat from the control group. In conclusion, inoculating sauce meat with S. cerevisiae can significantly enhance the quality and flavor of sauce meat while it is being stored.

Abstract
Traditional dry cured ham (DCH) is favored by consumers for its distinctive flavor, derived from an array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Microbiota play a pivotal role in the formation of VOCs. To fully comprehend the pathway by which the microbiota enhance the flavor quality of DCH, it is imperative to elucidate the flavor profile of DCH, the structural and metabolic activities of the microbiota, and the intricate relationship between microbial and VOCs. Thus far, the impact of microbiota on the flavor profile of DCH has not been comprehensively discussed or reviewed, and the succession of bacteria, especially at distinct phases of processing, has not been adequately summarized. This article aims to encapsulate the considerable potential of ferments in shaping the flavor characteristics of DCH, while elucidating the underlying mechanisms through which VOCs are generated in hams via microbial metabolism. Throughout the various stages of DCH processing, the composition of microbiota undergoes dynamic changes. Furthermore, they directly participate in the formation of VOCs in DCH through the catabolism of amino acids, metabolism of fatty acids, and the breakdown of carbohydrates. Several microorganisms, including Lactobacillus, Penicillium, Debaryomyces, Pediococcus, and Staphylococcus, exhibit considerable potential as fermenters in ham production.

Abstract
The consumption of sausage worldwide increases every year; because of this increase, artisanal products have appeared and are intended to be perceived as natural and healthy. Obesity and cardiovascular diseases associated with consuming meat and meat derivatives have been estimated to be the leading cause of death in several countries. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional quality, lipid content, and presence of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, contributing to demonstrating the real nutritional value of artisanal sausages produced in Ecuador. Sausages from 10 factories in Ambato, Pelileo, and Píllaro, located in Tungurahua, Ecuador, were evaluated. The pH and acidity, color, proximal, sensory, microbiological, and lipid content were assessed. The pH and acidity showed a slight variation in all of the samples. Proximal analysis (moisture, protein, fat, and ash) established that the artisan sausages did not differ from the type of sausages reported in the literature. Microbiological analyses showed a good microbial quality, and there was no presence of Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacteria, molds, or yeasts. The sensory attributes were similar for all of the sausages; the panelists did not notice any strange taste or odor. The lipid content showed that the artisanal sausages contained the highest percentage of palmitic, stearic, elaidic, and linolelaidic fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids were the most prevalent in all of the sausages collected from different locations. The results showed that the nutritional, microbiological, and sensory quality of the artisanal sausages did not show any parameter that would allow them to be classified as different or as having a better nutritional value.

Abstract
In this study, a protective agent was added to prepare a high-activity Lactiplantibacillus plantarum x3-2b bacterial powder as a fermentation agent and explore its effect on the physicochemical quality, biogenic amines, and flavor of fermented lamb jerky. A composite protective agent, composed of 15% skim milk powder and 10% trehalose, was used, and bacterial mud was mixed with the protective agent at a 1:1.2 mass ratio. The resulting freeze-dried bacterial powder achieved a viable count of 5.1 lg CFU/g with a lyophilization survival rate of 87.58%. Scanning electron microscopy revealed enhanced cell coverage by the composite protective agent, maintaining the cell membrane's integrity. Inoculation with x3-2b bacterial powder increased the pH and the reduction in aw, enhanced the appearance and texture of fermented lamb jerky, increased the variety and quantity of flavor compounds, and reduced the accumulation of biogenic amines (phenethylamine, histamine, and putrescine). This research provides a theoretical basis for improving and regulating the quality of lamb jerky and establishes a foundation for the development of bacterial powder for the commercial fermentation of meat products.

Abstract
Apo pickle is a fermented food with a long edible history in the Jiangnan region of China. Traditionally, plastic bottles are used as Apo pickle's fermentation containers, and artificial bottling costs are high. The goal of this study is to compare the fermentation effects of Apo pickle fermented under low pressure in a vacuum bag (VBA) and Apo pickle fermented under normal pressure in plastic bottles (TBA) to determine the feasibility of fermenting Apo pickle in a vacuum bag rather than a plastic bottle, thereby lowering production costs. At the same time, a gas-sensitive colorimetric sensor array (CSA) was developed to distinguish different fermentation stages of Apo pickle. The results revealed that the main genera in the initial and final phases of Apo pickle fermentation were Weissella and Lactobacillus, unaffected by fermentation containers. At the same fermentation time, the abundance of Lactobacillus and the content of flavor substances in VBA were higher, and the fermentation speed of VBA was faster at 0-15 d, so a vacuum bag could be used instead of a plastic bottle. The CSA could discriminate between different fermentation procedures of Apo pickles with an accuracy rate of 93.8%. Its principle is similar to that of an electronic nose. It has the advantages of convenience, rapidity, and no need for professional equipment, so it can be used as a new method to judge the fermentation degree of apo pickle.

Abstract
We studied the proteolysis and conducted a sensory evaluation of fermented sausages using strains derived from Kimchi [Pediococcus pentosaceus-SMFM2021-GK1 (GK1); P. pentosaceus-SMFM2021-NK3 (NK3)], Doenjang [Debaryomyces hansenii-SMFM2021-D1 (D1)], and spontaneous fermented sausage [Penicillium nalgiovense-SMFM2021-S6 (S6)]. Fermented sausages were classified as commercial starter culture (CST), mixed with GK1, D1, and S6 (GKDS), and mixed with NK3, D1, and S6 (NKDS). The protein content and pH of GKDS and NKDS were significantly higher than those of CST on days 3 and 31, respectively (p<0.05). Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the NKDS had higher molecular weight proteins than the GKDS and CST. The myofibrillar protein solubility of the GKDS and NKDS was significantly higher than that of the CST on day 31 (p<0.05). The GKDS displayed significantly higher pepsin and trypsin digestion than the NKDS on day 31 (p<0.05). The hardness, chewiness, gumminess, and cohesiveness of the GKDS were not significantly different from those of the CST. The GKDS exhibited the highest values for flavor, tenderness, texture, and overall acceptability. According to this study, sausages fermented using lactic acid bacteria (GK1), yeast (D1), and mold (S6) derived from Korean fermented foods displayed high proteolysis and excellent sensory evaluation results.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of beef fermentation with Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum (L) PTCC 1965, Lactiplantibacillus (L) plantarum subsp. plantarum PTCC 1745, and Lactiplantibacillus (L) pentosus PTCC 1872 bacteria on the growth of pathogenic bacteria, including Salmonella (S) Typhi PTCC 1609 and Staphylococcus (S) aureus PTCC 1826. The growth of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and the effect of fermentation on pathogenic bacteria were studied using Weibull: biphasic linear and competitive models. The results showed that the rate of pH reduction was lower in the early stages and increased as the microbial population grew. The α parameter was lower for L. plantarum subsp. plantarum compared to L. paraplantarum and L. pentosus. The comparison of the α parameter for bacterial growth and pH data showed that the time interval required to initiate the rapid growth phase of the bacteria was much shorter than that for the rapid pH reduction phase. The pH value had a 50% greater effect on the inactivation of S. Typhi when compared to the samples containing L. plantarum subsp. plantarum and L. pentosus. The same parameter was reported to be 72% for the inactivation of St. aureus. In general, during the fermentation process, LAB strains caused a decrease in pH, and as a result, reduced the growth of pathogens, which improves consumer health and increases the food safety of fermented meat.

Fermentation for Designing Innovative Plant-Based Meat and Dairy Alternatives. Foods 2023; 12:foods12051005. [PMID: 36900522 PMCID: PMC10000644 DOI: 10.3390/foods12051005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/17/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Fermentation was traditionally used all over the world, having the preservation of plant and animal foods as a primary role. Owing to the rise of dairy and meat alternatives, fermentation is booming as an effective technology to improve the sensory, nutritional, and functional profiles of the new generation of plant-based products. This article intends to review the market landscape of fermented plant-based products with a focus on dairy and meat alternatives. Fermentation contributes to improving the organoleptic properties and nutritional profile of dairy and meat alternatives. Precision fermentation provides more opportunities for plant-based meat and dairy manufacturers to deliver a meat/dairy-like experience. Seizing the opportunities that the progress of digitalization is offering would boost the production of high-value ingredients such as enzymes, fats, proteins, and vitamins. Innovative technologies such as 3D printing could be an effective post-processing solution following fermentation in order to mimic the structure and texture of conventional products.

Sallan S, Yılmaz Oral ZF, Kaya M. A Review on the Role of Lactic Acid Bacteria in the Formation and Reduction of Volatile Nitrosamines in Fermented Sausages. Foods 2023; 12:foods12040702. [PMID: 36832777 PMCID: PMC9955677 DOI: 10.3390/foods12040702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/01/2023] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2023] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Nitrosamines are N-nitroso compounds with carcinogenic, mutagenic and teratogenic properties. These compounds could be found at certain levels in fermented sausages. Fermented sausages are considered to be a suitable environment for nitrosamine formation due to acid formation and reactions such as proteolysis and lipolysis during ripening. However, lactic acid bacteria (spontaneous or starter culture), which constitute the dominant microbiota, contribute significantly to nitrosamine reduction by reducing the amount of residual nitrite through nitrite degradation, and pH decrease has an important effect on the residual nitrite amount as well. These bacteria also play an indirect role in nitrosamine reduction by suppressing the growth of bacteria that form precursors such as biogenic amines. In recent years, research interest has focused on the degradation or metabolization of nitrosamines by lactic acid bacteria. The mechanism by which these effects are seen has not been fully understood yet. In this study, the roles of lactic acid bacteria on nitrosamine formation and their indirect or direct effects on reduction of volatile nitrosamines are discussed.

A review of potential antibacterial activities of nisin against Listeria monocytogenes: the combined use of nisin shows more advantages than single use. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112363. [PMID: 36737951 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112363] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Revised: 12/10/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
Listeria monocytogenes is a foodborne pathogen causing serious public health problems. Nisin is a natural antimicrobial agent produced by Lactococcus lactis and widely used in the food industry. However, the anti-L. monocytogenes efficiency of nisin might be decreased due to natural or acquired resistance of L. monocytogenes to nisin, or complexity of the food environment. The limitation of nisin as a bacteriostatic agent in food could be improved using a combination of methods. In this review, the physiochemical characteristics, species, bioengineered mutants, and antimicrobial mechanism of nisin are reviewed. Strategies of nisin combined with other antibacterial methods, including physical, chemical, and natural substances, and nanotechnology to enhance antibacterial effect are highlighted and discussed. Additionally, the antibacterial efficiency of nisin applied in real meat, dairy, and aquatic products is evaluated and analyzed. Among the various binding treatments, the combination with natural substances is more effective than the combination with physical and chemical methods. However, the combination of nisin and nanotechnology has more potential in terms of the impact on food quality.

Freeze-Dried Powder of Fermented Chili Paste-New Approach to Cured Salami Production. Foods 2022; 11:foods11223716. [PMID: 36429308 PMCID: PMC9689597 DOI: 10.3390/foods11223716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2022] [Revised: 11/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Fermented chili powders were obtained through the freeze-drying of fermented chili pastes and used as a condiment, acidifier, antioxidant, colorant, and microbial starter carrier in fermented salami production. Fermented chili powders were examined regarding carbohydrates, organic acids, vitamin C, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and aroma profile. High concentrations of lactic (10.57-12.20%) and acetic acids (3.39-4.10%) were recorded. Vitamin C content was identified in the range of 398-1107 mg/100 g, with maximum values for C. annuum cv. Cayenne chili powder. Phenolic compounds showed values between 302-771 mg/100 g. Total carotenoid content was identified between 544-2462 µg/g, with high concentrations of capsanthin esters. Aroma profile analysis evidenced specific compounds (1-hexanol, 2-hexanol, hexenal, E-2-hexenal) with sensory importance and a more complex spectrum for Capsicum chinense cultivar. Plant-specific lactic acid bacteria showed dominance both in fermented chili paste, chili powder, and salami. Lactic and acetic acids from the fermented chili powder reduced the pH of the filling immediately, having a stabilizing effect on the meat. Nor molds or pathogens were identified in outer limits. Based on these results, fermented chili powders could be used as starter carriers in the production of fermented meat products for exceptional sensory properties and food safety management.

Abstract
Suan Rou (SR), a traditional fermented meat, is widely favored by consumers due to its unique flavor and characteristics. To study the relationship between the core differential micro-organisms and differential volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of SR from six regions of China, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and gas-chromatography−ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) technologies were used to analyze the correlation between micro-organisms and VOCs in SR from Xiangxi of Hunan, Rongshui of Guangxi, Zunyi of Guizhou, Jinping of Guizhou, Congjiang of Guizhou, and Libo of Guizhou. A total of 13 core micro-organisms were identified at the genus level. Moreover, 95 VOCs were identified in the SR samples by GC-IMS analysis, with alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and esters comprising the major VOCs among all the samples. The results showed a strong correlation (|r| > 0.8, p < 0.05) between the core differential micro-organisms and differential VOCs, including four bacteria, five fungi, and 12 VOCs. Pediococcus, Debaryomyces, Zygosaccharomyces, and Candida significantly contributed to the unique VOCs of SR.
