Project description:The Chishui River basin is the main production area of the sauce-flavor Baijiu. Due to the particularity of sauce-flavor Baijiu technology, a large site of workshops needs to be built for brewing and storage. Therefore, used the natural karst caves of Guizhou province to manufacture the sauce-flavor Baijiu, which has enriched the connotation of sauce-flavor Baijiu and saved valuable land resources. In this study, the fermentation grains in the seven stages during the Xiasha round of the cave-brewed sauce-flavor Baijiu (CBSB) were detected using a combination of physicochemical analysis, Headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass detection, and Illumina HiSeq sequencing methods. The results showed Unspecified_Leuconostocaceae, Weissella, Unspecified_Bacillaceae, Saccharomycopsis, Thermomyces, and Unspecified_Phaffomycetaceae were the main bacterial and fungal genera in the stacking fermentation (SF). In the cellar fermentation (CF), the Lactobacillus, Unspecified_Lactobacillaceae, Thermoactinomyces, Saccharomycopsis, Unspecified_Phaffomycetaceae, and Wickerhamomyces were the main bacterial and fungal genera. A total of 72 volatiles were detected in the fermented grains. Linear discriminant analysis Effect Size (LEfSe) identified 23 significantly different volatile metabolites in the fermentation process, including 7 esters, 6 alcohols, 4 acids, 3 phenols, 1 hydrocarbon, and 2 other compounds. Redundancy analysis was used to explore the correlation between dominant microbial genera and physicochemical properties. Starch was the main physicochemical property affecting microbial succession in the SF. Acidity, moisture, and reducing sugar were the main driving factors of microbial succession in the CF. The Pearson correlation coefficient revealed the correlation between dominant microbial genera and significantly different volatile flavor substances. A total of 18 dominant microbial genera were associated with significantly different volatile metabolites, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Wickerhamomyces, and Aspergillus were shown to play crucial roles in metabolite synthesis. On this basis, a metabolic map of the dominant microbial genera was established. This study provides a theoretical basis for the production and quality control of sauce-flavor Baijiu brewed in natural karst caves and lays a foundation for studying the link between flavor formation and microorganisms.

Project description:The paocai industry faces challenges related to the production of large volumes of high-salinity and acidic brine by-products. Maintaining paocai quality while reducing brine production is crucial. This study utilized high-throughput sequencing technology to analyze microbial changes throughout the fermentation process, along with the non-volatile flavor compounds and physicochemical properties, to assess the impact of hot-air and salt-pressing pre-dehydration treatments on paocai quality. The findings indicate that pre-dehydration of raw material slowed the fermentation process but enhanced the concentration of non-volatile flavor substances, including free amino acids and organic acids. Hot-air pre-dehydration effectively reduced initial salinity to levels comparable to those in high-salinity fermentation of fresh vegetables. Furthermore, pre-dehydration altered microbial community structures and simplified inter-microbial relationships during fermentation. However, the key microorganisms such as Lactobacillus, Weissella, Enterobacter, Wallemia, Aspergillus, and Kazachstania remained consistent across all groups. Additionally, this study found that biomarkers influenced non-volatile flavor formation differently depending on the treatment, but these substances had minimal impact on the biomarkers and showed no clear correlation with high-abundance microorganisms. Overall, fermenting pre-dehydrated raw materials presents an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paocai production.

Project description:Jujube pulp separated from Ziziphus jujube is often discarded after processing, resulting in a serious waste of resources and environmental pollution. Herein, Ziziphus jujube pulp was used as a raw material for vinegar fermentation. To investigate the dynamic distribution of microorganisms and flavor substances in ZJV, correlations between environmental variables (e.g., total acid, reducing sugar, temperature) and flavor substances (organic acids, amino acids, volatile substances) and microorganisms were analyzed. Physicochemical indicators (temperature, total acid, alcohol) were the main factors affecting ZJV fermentation. The middle and later stages of ZJV fermentation were the periods showing the largest accumulation of flavor substances. Organic acids (acetic acid, malic acid, citric acid, lactic acid), amino acids (Asp, Glu, Arg) and volatile substances (ethyl phenylacetate, phenethyl alcohol) were important odor-presenting substances in ZJV. In the bacterial community, the Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) with an average relative abundance of more than 10% in at least one fermentation stage were mainly Acetobacter, Lactobacillus and Saccharopolyspora, while it was Thermomyces in the fungal community. Pearson correlation coefficients showed that Penicillium, Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were the core microorganisms, implying that these microorganisms contributed to the flavor formation greatly in ZJV fermentation. This study reveals the correlation between physicochemical indexes and flavor substances and microorganisms in ZJV fermentation. The results of the study can provide a theoretical basis for the development of the ZJV industry.

Project description:Gochujang is a Korean fermented hot pepper paste beneficial to human health by providing various nutrients. In this study, its physicochemical characteristics were identified, and its microbial communities were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing. The interrelationship between physicochemical characteristics and microbial composition was investigated to reveal the properties of gochujang before and after fermentation. After fermentation, all samples showed decreased salt concentration, pH, and reducing sugar content, while the acidity and amino-type nitrogen increased. The water content, salt concentration, amino-type nitrogen, and reducing sugar differed according to the batches of samples. Bacillus, Aerosakkonema, and Enterococcus were identified as the predominant bacterial genera. Furthermore, Aerosakkonema was the most abundant genus before fermentation; however, it was replaced by Bacillus as it decreased after fermentation. For the fungi, Aspergillus dominated before fermentation, whereas Zygosaccharomyces and Millerozyma dominated after fermentation. The high level of amino-type nitrogen in gochujang was related to the relative abundance of B. haynesii/B. licheniformis before fermentation. Additionally, the high abundance of Z. rouxii after fermentation was related to the flavor of gochujang. This comprehensive analysis of the microbial community associated with the physicochemical properties of gochujang could help in understanding the factors affecting the quality of the product.

Project description:Mechanized, automated and intelligent brewing is an important trend of innovation and transition in Jiang-flavor baijiu industry. In this study, physicochemical parameters, microbial community composition and flavor substances during 3rd round heap fermentation between mechanical and traditional workshop were investigated and compared based on traditional culturable methods, high-throughput sequencing technology and gas chromatography analysis. The dominant bacterial and fungal genera were consistent between the two workshops, but mechanized brewing had a significant impact on the composition of fungal communities. Rhodococcus and Monascus were special genera in mechanical workshop. The interaction relationship between physicochemical parameters and dominant microorganisms in mechanized workshop was different from traditional workshop as well. This study provided a scientific basis for further analyzing the mechanism of mechanized brewing of Jiang-flavor baijiu.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10068-023-01483-y.

Project description:Gochujang, fermented red pepper paste, is a grain-based Korean traditional food. The quality of gochujang produced by cottage industries is not well-documented. Thus, the present study aimed to analyze the quality of gochujang from 35 traditional cottage industries for physicochemical and microbial characteristics, along with volatile compound contents. In addition to microbial characteristics, salinity, pH, free amino nitrogen, and alcohol content were evaluated. Ethanol was detected as the predominant alcohol and 57% of tested gochujang products harbored >1% of total alcohol content, which was above the recommended level for halal products. Gochujang products contained hexadecanoic and linoleic acids predominantly and several volatile compounds belonging to the classes of alcohols, aldehydes, alkanes, nitrogen-containing compounds, and terpenes. A wide range of aerobic mesophilic bacteria (2.79-8.73 log CFU/g) and yeast counts (1.56-7.15 log CFU/g) was observed. Five distinct yeast species were identified, including Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Eight gochujang products were found to be contaminated with Bacillus cereus (>4 log CFU/g). This study suggests that there is a need to limit B. cereus contamination in cottage industry products and reduce alcohol content to comply with halal food guidelines.

Project description:In this study, Fu-brick tea (FBT) was used for kombucha preparation. The succession of microbial community structures, changes in physicochemical properties, and the volatiles were investigated during the kombucha fermentation. The sequencing analysis showed that Komagataeibacter was the most predominant bacterium. Aspergillus and Zygosaccharomyces were the dominant fungi before fermentation whereas Zygosaccharomyces and Derkella were the dominant fungi after 3 days of fermentation. The physicochemical analysis revealed that acetic acid, glucuronic acid, and polyphenols increased by 10.22 g/L, 0.08 g/L, and 177.40 mg/L, respectively, by the end of fermentation. The GC-MS analysis showed that a total of 49 volatile compounds were detected during the fermentation. Moreover, there were great differences in volatile components among the kombucha samples with different fermentation times. Furthermore, the relevance among microbial community and volatile compounds was evaluated through correlation network analysis. The results suggested that Komagataeibacter, Aspergillus, Zygosaccharomyces, and Dekkera were closely related to the main volatile compounds of FBT kombucha. The results in this study may provide deep understanding for constructing the microbiota and improving the quality of FBT kombucha.

Project description:This study describes microbial diversity in four tropical hot springs representing moderately thermophilic environments (temperature range: 40-58°C; pH: 7.2-7.4) with discrete geochemistry. Metagenome sequence data showed a dominance of Bacteria over Archaea; the most abundant phyla were Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria, although other phyla were also present, such as Acetothermia, Nitrospirae, Acidobacteria, Firmicutes, Deinococcus-Thermus, Bacteroidetes, Thermotogae, Euryarchaeota, Verrucomicrobia, Ignavibacteriae, Cyanobacteria, Actinobacteria, Planctomycetes, Spirochaetes, Armatimonadetes, Crenarchaeota, and Aquificae. The distribution of major genera and their statistical correlation analyses with the physicochemical parameters predicted that the temperature, aqueous concentrations of ions (such as sodium, chloride, sulfate, and bicarbonate), total hardness, dissolved solids and conductivity were the main environmental variables influencing microbial community composition and diversity. Despite the observed high taxonomic diversity, there were only little variations in the overall functional profiles of the microbial communities in the four springs. Genes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates and carbon fixation were the most abundant functional class of genes present in these hot springs. The distribution of genes involved in carbon fixation predicted the presence of all the six known autotrophic pathways in the metagenomes. A high prevalence of genes involved in membrane transport, signal transduction, stress response, bacterial chemotaxis, and flagellar assembly were observed along with genes involved in the pathways of xenobiotic degradation and metabolism. The analysis of the metagenomic sequences affiliated to the candidate phylum Acetothermia from spring TB-3 provided new insight into the metabolism and physiology of yet-unknown members of this lineage of bacteria.

Project description:Leaf stacking fermentation involves enzymatic actions of many microorganisms and is an efficient and environmentally benign process for degrading macromolecular organic compounds. We investigated the dynamics of metabolite profiles, bacterial and fungal communities and their interactions during fermentation using cigar leaves from three geographic regions. The results showed that the contents of total sugar, reducing sugar, starch, cellulose, lignin, pectin, polyphenol and protein in cigar tobacco leaves was significantly decreased during fermentation. Notably, the furfural, neophytadiene, pyridine, benzyl alcohol, geranylacetone, 3-hydroxy-2-butanone, N-hexanal, 3-Methyl-1-butanol and 2,3-pentanedione were important features volatile aroma compounds during fermentation. The α-diversity of fungi and bacteria initially increased and then decreased during fermentation. An analysis of variance showed that microbial diversity was influenced by fermentation stages and growing locations, in which the all stages had greater impacts on α- and β-diversity than all regions. Microbiome profiling had identified several core bacteria including Sphingomonas, Bacillus, Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Massilia and Fibrobacter. Fungal biomarkers included Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Cladosporium and Trichomonascus. Interestingly, the molecular ecological networks showed that the core taxa had significant correlations with metabolic enzymes and physicochemical properties; bacteria and fungi jointly participated in the carbohydrate and nitrogen compound degrading and volatile aroma compound chemosynthesis processes during fermentation. These studies provide insights into the coupling of material conversion and microbial community succession during leaf fermentation.
