Metabolomics analysis of okara probiotic beverages fermented with Lactobacillus gasseri and Limosilactobacillus fermentum by LC-QTOF-MS/MS.

ABSTRACT: In this study, okara was fermented with probiotic strains Lactobacillus gasseri LAC 343 and Limosilactobacillus fermentum PCC, respectively. Significant increases in cell count (by 2.22 log CFU/mL for LAC and 0.82 log CFU/mL for PCC) and significant decreases in pH (by 1.31 for LAC and 1.03 for PCC) were found in fermented okara slurry. In addition, strain LAC tended to produce amino acids, while strain PCC depleted most amino acids. An untargeted metabolomic-based approach using liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to further understand the compositional changes and potential health benefits by identifying bioactive metabolites in fermented okara slurry. We successfully identified various beneficial bioactive compounds inclu
