Effect of autochthonous starter cultures on the volatile flavour compounds of Chinese traditional fermented fish (Suan yu)

Effect of autochthonous starter cultures on the volatile flavour compounds of Chinese traditional fermented fish was studied. Lactobacillus plantarum 120, Staphylococcus xylosus 135 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae 31, isolated from Suan yu, were selected as starter cultures. Volatiles were extracted by headspace solid‐phase microextraction (SPME) and analysed by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry technology (GC‐MS). Esters and alcohols were the main components of volatiles, accounting for over 50 percentage points in all samples. The highest content of esters (3034.54 μg kg^?1) was observed in S1 inoculated with L. plantarum 120, while the highest content of alcohols (2164.53 μg kg^?1) and ketones (379.98 μg kg^?1) was detected in S3 inoculated with S. cerevisiae 31. The content of acids and aldehydes was lower in inoculated samples. Principal component analysis revealed that the volatile composition was primarily influenced by the nature of the starter cultures. L. plantarum 120 and S. xylosus 135 could accelerate fermentation.     

发酵剂菌种对干发酵香肠组胺形成及其含量的影响

组胺是干发酵香肠中的一种有害物质,是影响其安全性的重要因素之一。本文研究了市售干发酵香肠意大利萨拉米组胺安全性、加工过程中的组胺含量变化规律以及接种单一发酵剂植物乳杆菌(L.plantarum)Lp、戊糖片球菌(P.pentosaceus)Pp和复合发酵剂(戊糖片球菌P.pentosaceus+木糖葡萄球菌S.xylosus)对其组胺含量变化的影响。研究发现,戊糖片球菌比植物乳杆菌更有利于组胺含量的降低。采用复合发酵剂,木糖葡萄球菌有助于戊糖片球菌进一步降低发酵香肠中的组胺含量。与单一菌种戊糖片球菌发酵相比降低了14.55%,比空白组降低了32.20%。     

混合发酵剂的筛选及对发酵猪肉香肠加工特性及安全性能的影响

通过比较不同比例植物乳杆菌与木糖葡萄球菌的复合发酵剂的生长活性、产酸能力、耐盐及耐亚硝酸盐特性,筛选最佳复配比例的混合发酵剂并制作发酵香肠。旨在探究复合发酵剂对发酵香肠理化品质及生物胺的影响。结果表明:植物乳杆菌与木糖葡萄球菌复合比为1:1时,具有较好的生长、产酸、耐盐及耐亚硝酸盐能力。接种1:1的植物乳杆菌与木糖葡萄球菌混合发酵剂制备的香肠pH值下降速率快于单一乳酸菌组和空白对照组;发酵结束混合组pH值降为4.95,显著低于对照组和单一组(P<0.05);pH值下降改变了蛋白质与水分结合能力、促使香肠Aw随之降低,使得混合组Aw低于单一组和对照组;相比香肠色泽,3组差异不显著(P>0.05)。成熟后期混合组尸胺和组胺检出量均低于单一组和对照组。由研究结果可知添加复合发酵剂有助于提高香肠安全性、缩短发酵成熟周期。     

Characterisation of the technological behaviour of mixtures of mesophilic lactic acid bacteria isolated from traditional cheeses made of raw milk without added starters

In this work, the technological behaviour in milk of a set of Lactococcus lactis strains, alone or in combination with strains of Leuconostoc spp. and Lactobacillus spp. isolated from traditional, raw milk cheeses made without commercial starters, was investigated. Small, mixture‐specific differences during milk fermentation were recorded for growth, milk acidification and production of organic acids, volatile compounds, free amino acids and biogenic amines. Four combinations appropriate for use as dairy starters were tested in pilot‐scale cheese trials. Two mixtures produced cheeses of high flavour and taste quality; these could be confidently used as starter cultures.     

发酵剂对发酵香肠食用品质的影响及其在不同直径香肠中的应用

以商业发酵剂（木糖葡萄球菌＋戊糖片球菌）为对照组,不同发酵剂组合（木糖葡萄球菌＋副干酪乳杆菌、木糖葡萄球菌＋戊糖片球菌＋副干酪乳杆菌）为实验组,通过对发酵香肠水分含量、pH值、水分活度、色泽、质地、风味和感官品质等指标进行测定,确定最佳发酵剂及适宜发酵的香肠直径。结果表明：相较于商业发酵剂,木糖葡萄球菌与副干酪乳杆菌组合发酵的香肠总体可接受性相对较高,且庚醛、1-辛烯-3-醇、乳酸乙酯、戊酸乙酯、癸酸乙酯、2-甲基丙酸乙酯等愉悦风味物质为该组独有,其特征主要表现为更加浓郁的清新味、甜香味、果香味和花香味;适宜的直径（21 mm）、水分含量（（25.40±0.00）%）和硬度（（2 812.46±767.93）g）以及相对较高的pH值（pH 5.57±0.02）是该组发酵香肠口感显著高于其他2 组的重要原因。因此,木糖葡萄球菌与副干酪乳杆菌组合发酵的小直径香肠食用品质最佳。     

Changes of biogenic amines in Chinese low‐salt fermented fish pieces (Suan yu) inoculated with mixed starter cultures

In this study, two groups of mixed starter cultures (S1, S2), which were isolated from Suan yu, were inoculated for this experimental product, and a batch without starters was used as the control. The effect of the mixed starter cultures on the suppression of biogenic amine (BA) produced during the ripening of Suan yu was investigated. Changes in BA, pH, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB‐N), microbial counts and free amino acids (FAA) contents were detected during ripening. The results show that the mixed starter cultures rapidly decreased pH, inhibited the growth of contaminant microorganisms emerged in the sample and drastically reduced the accumulations of tyramine, putrescine and cadaverine. However, histamine and spermine were not produced in any batch. Besides, pH, FAA and BA production were not directly correlated. The study suggests that inoculation with S1 and S2 inhibited BA, thereby improving the product safety.     

Ethyl carbamate formation regulated by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ZJU in the processing of Chinese yellow rice wine

Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a probable carcinogen existing in most fermented foods. Throughout traditional fermentation processes, the Chinese fermentation starter plays an important role, but it contains varieties of microorganisms which make inhibiting EC efficiently become a challenge. Therefore, the traditional fermentation starter is substituted with a single yeast strain (Saccharomyces cerevisiae ZJU) to regulate EC catabolism. In this work, S. cerevisiae ZJU can reduce EC formation and the data of EC concentration show that there is 85.6% reduction of EC at most using S. cerevisiae ZJU instead of the traditional fermentation starter. Extracellular urea and citrulline were the leading precursors of EC. The content of amino acids and volatile flavour compounds in the experimental group has no significant influence compared to the natural fermentation. The findings in this work suggest that EC can be regulated by means of the fermentation starters variation.     

Evaluation of different starter cultures (Staphylococci plus Lactic Acid Bacteria) in semi-ripened Salami stuffed in swine gut

The ripening properties were evaluated in semi-ripened pork Salami started by different cultures: CXP (Pediococcus pentosaceus, Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus carnosus); RAP (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus sakei, S. xylosus and S. carnosus); and GY2 (L. sakei, S. xylosus and S. carnosus). These starters were chosen by their technological activities: CXP (rapid acidifying); RAP (medium acidifying); and GY2 (slow acidifying plus intense reddening-flavouring). Salami was enhanced with Ponceau 4R red and sodium glutamate, stuffed in pig gut and aged for 12 days at 15 °C/65-85%RH. Dehydration, reddening, proteolysis, fat acidity and lipid oxidation were hardly affected by the starters. Acidification by LAB strongly influenced the flavour. L. sakei plus L. plantarum provided a better flavouring than a low dose of L. sakei, and, especially, than over-acidifying P. pentosaceus. A final pH of 5 seems to be suitable for preventing aroma and taste defects in semi-ripened Salami. Spontaneous lactic microflora showed great acidifying potential.     

Microbial ecology studies of spontaneous fermentation: starter culture selection for prickly pear wine production

Abstract: A procedure for designing starter cultures for fermentation is illustrated for prickly pear wine production. The illustration includes kinetic studies on inoculated and spontaneous fermentation, microorganism identification studies based on molecular biology tools, and microbial ecology studies, which led to the selection of strains that are capable of synthesizing alcohol and desirable volatile compounds. Results show that a mixed starter inoculum containing Pichia fermentans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to a fermented product that contains 8.37% alcohol (v/v). The gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) analysis shows the presence of 9 major volatile compounds (Isobutanol, Isopentanol, Ethyl acetate, Isoamyl acetate, Ethyl octanoate, Ethyl decanoate, Ethyl 9‐decanoate, β‐Phenylethyl acetate, and Phenylethyl alcohol) that have ethereal, fruity, aromatic notes that are considered to be essential for a fine wine flavor. These compounds harmonically synergize with the alcohol to produce a fermented product with a unique flavor and taste. Several assays using the mixed culture show that the process is stable, predictable, controllable, and reproducible. Moreover, the results show that a mixed culture leads to a broader range of aromatic products than that produced by a single, pure culture. Therefore, we conclude that combinations of Saccharomyces strains and non‐Saccharomyces strains can be used to obtain high‐quality fermented beverages from prickly pear juice.     

Volatile compounds profile and sensory evaluation of Beninese condiments produced by inocula of Bacillus subtilis

BACKGROUND: Three Beninese food condiments (ABS1_24h, IBS2_48h and SBS3_48h) were produced by controlled fermentation of African locust beans using inocula of pure cultures of Bacillus subtilis, BS1, BS2 and BS3, respectively. Quantitative and qualitative assessments of the volatile compounds in the condiments produced have been performed using the Likens–Nickerson simultaneous distillation–extraction method and GC–MS analysis, followed by a sensory evaluation in comparison with the spontaneously fermented condiments. RESULTS: A total of 94 volatile compounds have been found including 53 compounds identified in relatively high concentrations and were subdivided into seven main groups with the predominance of four major groups: pyrazines, aldehydes, ketones and alcohols. Compared to the spontaneously fermented condiments, volatile compounds identified in controlled fermented condiments have been found in high number and in concentrations which varied according to the inoculum of B. subtilis used. The condiments produced with starter cultures scored significantly (P < 0.05) higher for odour than the spontaneously fermented condiments. But the overall acceptability (7/10) of the two types of condiments was similar. CONCLUSION: The investigated B. subtilis, BS1, BS2 and BS3 can be considered as potential starter cultures for the fermentation of African locust beans to produce good quality of Beninese food condiments.

A fermented meat model system for studies of microbial aroma formation

A fermented meat model system was developed, by which microbial formation of volatiles could be examined. The model was evaluated against dry, fermented sausages with respect to microbial growth, pH and volatile profiles. Fast and slowly acidified sausages and models were produced using the starter cultures Pediococcus pentosaceus and Staphylococcus xylosus. Volatiles were collected and analysed by dynamic headspace sampling and GC-MS. The analysis was primarily focused on volatiles arising from amino acid degradation and a total of 24 compounds, of which 19 were quantified, were used for multivariate data analysis. Growth of lactic acid bacteria was comparable for model and sausages, whereas survival of S. xylosus was better in the model. Multivariate analysis of volatiles showed that differences between fast and slowly acidified samples were identical for model and sausage. For both sausage and model, fast-acidified samples had a high content of ketones, sulphides and methyl-branched acids, whereas slowly acidified samples had the highest content of methyl-branched alcohols, aldehydes, their ethyl esters, phenylacetaldehyde and methional. Furthermore, model repeatability with respect to pH, microbial growth and volatile profiles was similar to sausage production. Based on these findings, the model system was considered valid for studies of aroma formation of meat cultures for fermented sausage.     

Utilisation possibility of Enterococcus faecalis isolates from neonate's faeces for production of fermented sausages as starter cultures

This study aimed at assessing the utilisation possibility of Enterococcus faecalis as starter cultures for production of fermented sausages. The E. faecalis isolates isolated from faeces samples of 5‐day‐old healthy newborn babies, identified by 16SrDNA sequencing and free from virulence determinants as proven by genomic sequencing, were used for fermented sausages production as starter culture. Six treatments (four inoculated with four different E. faecalis isolates, one with commercial starter culture and one control) were prepared. The inoculation with E. faecalis showed a stronger acidification compared with the control. The treatments with E. faecalis showed significantly higher flavour and acceptability scores in comparison with the control or commercial starter culture. Both of commercial starter culture and E. faecalis were positive with tyramine. Apart from the amine production, the inoculation with E. faecalis generally improved the acidifying activity and flavour of the products, suggesting their application potentials in fermented sausages production as starter cultures.

Generation of flavour compounds in fermented sausages-the influence of curing ingredients, Staphylococcus starter culture and ripening time

The volatile profiles of fermented sausages made with either Staphylococcus xylosus or Staphylococcus carnosus starter cultures were studied with regard to the influence of salt concentration, ripening time and three different combinations of curing ingredients-nitrate, nitrite or nitrite/ascorbate. Emphasis was laid on volatile compounds originating from degradation of branched-chain amino acids. Volatile compounds were collected using dynamic headspace sampling and were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Development in water activity, water loss and pH was monitored throughout maturation. Curing salts had a pronounced effect on the level of volatile compounds. In particular, curing with nitrate instead of nitrite resulted in a striking difference. Generally, nitrate increased the level of volatile compounds compared to nitrite, whereas ascorbate had only a small influence. The concentration level of NaCl had a considerable effect on the amount of volatile compounds but the effect was highly related to the ripening stage. Most compounds, but not all, increased in concentration as ripening proceeded. Major differences in the development of volatile compounds were observed depending on whether S. xylosus or S. carnosus were used as starter culture. In particular the effects of nitrate was much more predominant in the sausages made with S. carnosus than S.xylosus.     

Influence of starter cultures on the generation of antioxidant nitrogen compounds in Iberian dry‐fermented sausages

The purpose of this work was to investigate the influence of a starter culture on the generation of nitrogen compounds with antioxidant activity during the ripening of Iberian dry‐fermented sausages. Starters P200S34 (P. acidilactici M200 and S. vitulus RS34) and P198S34 (P. acidilactici MS198 and S. vitulus RS34) were used to make the Iberian dry‐fermented sausages ‘salchichón’ and chorizo; then, the physicochemical and microbial properties were determined during the ripening process. The oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay was employed to evaluate the antioxidant potential of the nitrogen extracts obtained during ripening of the sausages. This activity was correlated with the most relevant compounds detected by HPLC‐ESI‐MS in the final ripened extracts. Although a relevant part of the antioxidant activity was attributed to the predominant natural nitrogen fraction, the microbial population found in fermented sausages and the fermentation conditions significantly influenced the low molecular weight nitrogen profile and antioxidant activities. Inoculation with the starter culture P200S34 increased free amino acids and amines, such as methionine and tyramine, but other nitrogen compounds also increased the antioxidant activity of the low molecular weight nitrogen extracts. Thus, these starter cultures in Iberian sausages can contribute to delaying oxidative changes during storage.

Effects of Lactobacillus plantarum and Staphylococcus xylosus on the Quality Characteristics of Dry Fermented Sausage "Sucuk"

ABSTRACT:  The effect of starter culture, containing the strains Lactobacillus plantarum GM77 and Staphylococcus xylosus GM92, isolated from traditional sucuk, on the quality characteristics of dry fermented sausage (sucuk) during ripening period was studied. The microbiological (lactic acid bacteria, Micrococcus/Staphylococcus , Enterobacteriaceae) and physicochemical (pH, a_w, NPN, TBARS) properties and volatile compounds, extracted by solid phase microextraction and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, were determined in sucuk samples with starter culture and in the control group (without starter culture). Both starter culture and ripening period had significant effects on lactic acid bacteria, Micrococcus/Staphylococcus counts, and pH and a_w values ( P  < 0.01). The highest value for nonprotein nitrogen (NPN) was observed to occur in samples with starter culture ( P  < 0.05). TBARS value increased during ripening, the highest value was determined at 14th day in samples with starter culture. Among volatile compounds, terpenes were the major group in sucuk. Other volatile compounds (aldehydes, ketones, sulfur compounds, acids, esters, aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, and alcohols) can be found in fewer amounts. While the use of starter culture was affecting a few compounds, ripening period had affected most of the compounds.     

Impact of malolactic fermentation on the volatile composition of Turkish Kalecik karası red wines

The effects of spontaneous malolactic fermentation (MLF) and a malolactic starter culture (Oenococcus oeni) on the volatile compounds of Kalecik karas? red wines were investigated. The volatile compounds were extracted using liquid–liquid extraction and quantified by GC–MS–flame ionisation detection. Starter cultures of O. oeni had a positive effect in shortening MLF and producing lower volatile acidity. After MLF, the total volatile compounds increased in both the inoculated wines and the spontaneously fermented wine. Ethyl lactate, diethyl succinate and γ‐butyrolactone increased upon inoculation with cultures of O. oeni strains PN4 and VP41. MLF increased the diacetyl concentration in all Kalecik karas? wines. Strain dependent differences were found in the level of diacetyl, with O. oeni PN4 producing more diacetyl than O. oeni VP41. After MLF, the concentrations of acetoin, 4‐ethylguaicol and 4‐ethylphenol increased in spontaneously fermented wine compared with wines inoculated with O. oeni. Accordingly, the use O. oeni PN4 is recommended for a controlled MLF to produce better quality Kalecik karas? wines. © 2018 The Institute of Brewing & Distilling     

Process for improving the quality of direct acidified Cottage cheese

The effects of plain and fermented curd dressing ripened by single (Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis) as well as mixed‐strain starter cultures (L. lactis subsp. lactis; L. lactis subsp. cremoris; L. lactis subsp. lactis biovar. diacetylactis:: 1:1:1), different levels of fat (18–24%) in curd dressing and inoculation rate (1–5%) on direct acidified Cottage cheese were observed. Ripened curd dressing containing 22% fat and mixed‐strain starter cultures at 3% imparted a pleasant acidic note, delicate overtones of diacetyl, improved the body and texture, visual appearance and thereby enhanced the overall quality of the product.
