Application and Effect of Pediococcus pentosaceus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as Starter Cultures on Bacterial Communities and Volatile Flavor Compounds of Zhayu, a Chinese Traditional Fermented Fish Product.

ABSTRACT: Zhayu is a type of traditional fermented fish product in China that is made through the fermentation of salted fish with a mixture of cereals and spices. Inoculation fermentation was performed using Pediococcus pentosaceus P1, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum L1, and a mixture of two strains, which were isolated from cured fish in Hunan Province. Compared with the natural fermentation, inoculation with lactic acid bacteria (LAB) accelerated the degradation of myosin and actin in Zhayu, increased the trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptide content by about 1.3-fold, reduced the colony counts of Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcus aureus by about 40%, and inhibited their lipid oxidation. In the texture profile analysis performed, higher levels of h
