Non-targeted metabolomic profile of Leuconostoc mesenteroides-fermented milk reveals differentially expressed metabolites associated with electro-fermentation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Leuconostoc mesenteroides (L. mesenteroides) has known as an electrogenic probiotic bacterium. However, metabolites related to electro-fermentation in ferments of L. mesenteroides are not unveiled.

Result

Electrogenic L. mesenteroides fermentatively metabolized bovine milk to dense ferments with homogeneous particle-size distribution. A non-targeted metabolomics approach was performed on non-fermented and L. mesenteroides-fermented milk. A total of 917 metabolites were identified and quantified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS). Thirteen prokaryotic metabolic pathways associated with differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were revealed through Koto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analy
