Project description:Biogenic amines (BAs) in sausages represent a health risk for consumers, and thus investigating the BAs accumulation mechanism is important to control the BAs. In this study, the BAs profiles of 16 typical Chinese sausage samples were evaluated, and 8 kinds of common BAs were detected from different samples. As a whole, the BAs contents of the majority of Chinese sausage samples were within the safe dosage range, except that the total BAs and histamine concentrations of sample HBBD were above the toxic dosage levels. Furthermore, the bacterial and fungal communities of the Chinese sausage samples were investigated by high-throughput sequencing analysis, and Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Lactococcus, Lactobacillus, Debaryomyces, and Aspergillus were identified as the predominant genera. Accordingly, 13 representative strains were selected from the dominant genera, and their BAs formation and degradation properties were evaluated. Finally, the results of fermented meats model experiment indicated that the Staphylococcus isolates including Staphylococcus pasteuri Sp, Staphylococcus epidermidis Se, Staphylococcus carnosus Sc1, Staphylococcus carnosus Sc2, and Staphylococcus simulans Ss could significantly reduce BAs, possessing the potential as the starter cultures to control the BAs in fermented meat products. The present study not only helped to explain the BAs accumulation mechanism in Chinese sausage, but also developed the candidates for potential BAs control in fermented meat products.

Project description:Control of biogenic amines (BAs) is critical to guarantee the safety of fermented meat products. The aim of this study is to evaluate the BAs formation and degradation abilities of lactic acid bacteria from Chinese bacon to obtain the beneficial candidate for BAs control. Seven lactic acid bacteria were selected from the typical Chinese bacon products, identified as Lactobacillus curvatus by 16S rDNA analysis. Then, genes analysis and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis were performed to evaluate the BAs formation and degradation abilities of as-selected strains. All L. curvatus strains were confirmed to harbor the genes encoding the tyrosine decarboxylase and ornithine decarboxylase, and they could produce tyramine, ?-phenethylamine, putrescine, and cadaverine. In comparison, the lowest concentration of total BAs was obtained in L. curvatus G-1. Meanwhile, all L. curvatus strains were positive in amines oxidase gene analysis, and they could also degrade six common BAs, especially the L. curvatus G-1 with the highest degradation percentage (above 40%) for each BA. Furthermore, fermented meat model analysis verified that the L. curvatus G-1 could significantly reduce BAs. In conclusion, L. curvatus G-1 shows a low BAs-producing ability, as well as a high BAs-degrading ability, and this study provides a promising candidate for potential BAs control in fermented meat products.

Project description:Controlling the content of biogenic amines (BAs) is critical to guarantee the safety of fermented aquatic products. The degradation characteristics and application potential of amine-negative starter cultures (Virgibacillus halodenitrificans CGMCC 1.18601: G25, Virgibacillus pantothenticus CGMCC 1.18602: G38) screened from grasshopper sub shrimp paste (Gssp) were studied. The enzymes of the two strains G25 and G38 that degrade BAs were amine oxidases (AOs) located on their respective cell membranes. The conditions that promoted the AO activity of Virgibacillus spp. were NaCl concentrations 5-10%, temperature 37 °C, pH 7.0 and ethanol concentrations 0-2%. Safety assessments (antibiotic susceptibility, biofilm activity and hemolytic activity) indicated that Virgibacillus spp. do not present a risk to human health, and this isolate can be confidently recommended as safe starter cultures for the food industry. Then, the two strains were cultured separately as starters and applied to the Gssp to analyze their influence on the flavor and quality of the product. As far as the bad flavors in Gssp such as sulfur-organic and sulf-chlor were concerned, the response values in the starter groups by G25 and G38 were significantly reduced by 39% and 65%, respectively. For the ability of strains to degrade BAs in Gssp, G25 degraded 11.1% of histamine, 11.3% of tyramine, 15.5% of putrescine and 4.1% of cadaverine; G38 significantly degraded 10.1% of histamine, 21.8% of tyramine, 18.1% of putrescine and 5.0% of cadaverine. These results indicated that the selected species could be used as starter cultures for the control of BA accumulation and degradation in Gssp.

Project description:Biogenic amines (BAs) have been reported to threaten the Douchi safety, while the BAs formation mechanism and corresponding control method have not been clarified for Douchi. The present study aims to investigate the microbial contribution to BAs in Douchi, and to find the beneficial strain for BAs control. Firstly, the BAs profiles of 15 Douchi samples were analyzed, and common 6 kinds of BAs were detected from different samples. All the samples showed the total BAs contents within the safe dosage range, while the histamine concentrations in 2 samples and ?-phenethylamine in 6 samples were above the toxic level. Then, the bacterial and fungal communities were investigated by high-throughput sequencing analysis, and Bacillus and Candida were identified as the dominant bacteria and fungi genus, respectively. Furthermore, nineteen strains were selected from the dominant species of Douchi samples, including 14 Bacillus strains, 2 Staphylococcus strains, 1 Enterococcus strain and 2 Candida strains, and their BAs formation and degradation abilities were evaluated. B. subtilis HB-1 and S. pasteuri JX-2 showed no BAs producing ability, and B. subtilis GD-4 and Candida sp. JX-3 exhibited high BAs degradation ability. Finally, fermented soybean model analysis further verified that B. subtilis HB-1 and S. pasteuri JX-2 could significantly reduce BAs. This study not only contributed to understanding the BAs formation mechanism in Douchi, but also provided potential candidates to control the BAs in fermented soybean products.

Project description:Biogenic amines (BAs) and microbial diversity are important factors affecting food quality and safety in fermented foods. In this study, the bacterial and fungal diversity in grasshopper sub shrimp paste taken at different fermentation times were comprehensively analyzed, while the pH, colony counts, salinity, total volatile base nitrogen (TVB-N) and BA contents were quantitatively determined. In addition, the correlations among the samples with respect to microbial communities and the different parameters investigated especially BAs were also established. By combining the results of spearman correlation heatmap with the contents of BAs produced by the 102 halotolerant bacteria isolated from the grasshopper sub shrimp paste, six major genera of bacteria (Jeotgalibaca, Jeotgalicoccus, Lysinibacillus, Sporosarcina, Staphylococcus, and Psychrobacter) were found to be positively correlated with BA production level, suggesting that these bacteria might have a strong tendency to produce BAs. Other bacteria such as Lentibacillus, Pseudomonas, and Salinicoccus were considered as poor BA producers. The grasshopper sub shrimp paste was characterized by a relatively high abundance of Tetragenococcus, which was the dominant genus during the fermentation process, and it also produced a relatively high level of BAs but the spearman correlation heatmap revealed a negative correlation between T. muriaticus and BA level. Analysis of the species relevance network in grasshopper sub shrimp explained that the actual production of BAs by a certain strain was closely related to other species present in the complex fermentation system.

Project description:Traditional fermented bean pastes are indispensable seasonings in many East Asian countries. They are produced via hypertonic solutions by spontaneous fermentation. Functional, unknown microbiota carry great risks for food safety and stable quality. Thus, analysis and subsequent utilization of functional microbiota will be a good strategy to resolve these problems. During bean fermentation, the microbial functions were divided into two stages, including first stage-raw material (polypeptide) degradation and second stage-amino acid catabolism. In this study, we aimed to analyze the functional microbiota of first stage. Omics-studies, including high-throughput sequencing, correlation analysis and extracellular proteome, were used to generate candidate functional microbes for polypeptide degradation in this study. Then, we cultured the candidate functional microbes. After the batch fermentation and enzymatic analysis, we found three strains secreted peptidase and resulted amino acid accumulation, involving Aspergillus niger, Candida zeylanoides and Bacillus licheniformis. Thus, A. niger, C. zeylanoides and B. licheniformis conducted the functional microbiota for polypeptide degrading during hypertonic moromi fermentation. This study supplies a strategy for functional microbiota analysis. In addition, this is the first report that C. zeylanoides can secrete proteome and produce amino acids from polypeptide.

Project description:Soybean paste (Doujiang) is one of the traditional fermented foods from China, fermented by various microorganisms. However, the microflora of Doujiang keeps little known. In this study, the microbial communities of seven kinds of representative Doujiang samples were investigated by both culture-independent and culture-dependent methods. We found that core OTUs among seven Doujiang samples were mainly from Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Candida, and Aspergillus according to Illumina sequencing. Every type of Doujiang sample harbored a different composition of microbial community. Doujiang LSJ and LBJ had the highest bacterial and fungal richness and diversity, respectively. The structure of microbial community was remarkably correlated with Doujiang properties-pH, and the content of total protein, soluble protein, amino acid, and total sugar (p < .05). Bacillus spp. were most frequently isolated bacterial species. Fungi of Monascus, Candida, and Aspergillus were also isolated. Eleven microbial strains showed high protease activities to degrade corn proteins, which can form obvious transparent hydrolytic circles in corn gluten meal medium plates. Therefore, microbial communities were supposed to tightly connect to Doujiang type and properties. It is possible to apply potential protein-degrading microbial strains to corn byproducts for protein production in the future study.

Project description:Humans have used high salinity for the production of bean-based fermented foods over thousands of years. Although high salinity can inhibit the growth of harmful microbes and select functional microbiota in an open environment, it also affects fermentation efficiency of bean-based fermented foods and has a negative impact on people's health. Therefore, it is imperative to develop novel defined starter cultures for reduced-salt fermentation in a sterile environment. Here, we explored the microbial assembly and function in the fermentation of traditional Chinese broad bean paste with 12% salinity. The results revealed that the salinity and microbial interactions together drove the dynamic of community and pointed out that five dominant genera (Staphylococcus, Bacillus, Weissella, Aspergillus, and Zygosaccharomyces) may play different key roles in different fermentation stages. Then, core species were isolated from broad bean paste, and their salinity tolerance, interactions, and metabolic characteristics were evaluated. The results provided an opportunity to validate in situ predictions through in vitro dissection of microbial assembly and function. Last, we reconstructed the synthetic microbial community with five strains (Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus gallinarum, Weissella confusa, and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii) under different salinities and realized efficient fermentation of broad bean paste for 6 weeks in a sterile environment with 6% salinity. In general, this work provided a bottom-up approach for the development of a simplified microbial community model with desired functions to improve the fermentation efficiency of bean-based fermented foods by deconstructing and reconstructing the microbial structure and function.IMPORTANCE Humans have mastered high-salinity fermentation techniques for bean-based fermented product preparation over thousands of years. High salinity was used to select the functional microbiota and conducted food fermentation production with unique flavor. Although a high-salinity environment is beneficial for suppressing harmful microbes in the open fermentation environment, the fermentation efficiency of functional microbes is partially inhibited. Therefore, application of defined starter cultures for reduced-salt fermentation in a sterile environment is an alternative approach to improve the fermentation efficiency of bean-based fermented foods and guide the transformation of traditional industry. However, the assembly and function of self-organized microbiota in an open fermentation environment are still unclear. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of microbial function and the mechanism of community succession in a high-salinity environment during the fermentation of broad bean paste so as to reconstruct the microbial community and realize efficient fermentation of broad bean paste in a sterile environment.

Project description:The presence of biogenic amines, such as histamine and tyramine, in pickled food can cause health problems, such as allergies. However, other bioactive amines may be present and can induce some diseases. Some biogenic amines can react with nitrate and form nitrosamines, compounds harmful to human health. In this research, we qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated some biogenic amines and nitrate content in jurubeba preserved in oil or vinegar. The fruits were obtained from cultivated plants, or wild plants, or they were purchased from market. Jurubeba fruit was analyzed raw and after cooking. After thermal processing, the fruits were preserved in soybean oil or vinegar and were evaluated after 1 h and at 30, 60 and 90 days of storage. Variations in the contents of biogenic amine were found depending on the place from which the fruits were obtained, as well as depending on the type of preservative and time of storage. The nitrate levels did not exceed the established limits, mainly when preserved in vinegar, which also showed the lowest levels of biogenic amines.

Project description:Doubanjiang, a Chinese traditional fermented red pepper paste, is eaten worldwide for its unique flavor. The objective of this study was to evaluate the aroma quality of doubanjiang using solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). A total of 165 volatile compounds, belonging to 13 chemical classes, were identified. Esters and hydrocarbons were the predominant groups. Thirteen aroma-active compounds were detected by AEDA of SAFE and HS-SPME, and their odor activity values (OAVs) were calculated by dividing their concentration by their odor threshold in water. Among them, ethyl isovalerate, β-damascenone, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine (IBMP), and sotolone had the highest OAVs (>1000). In addition, sotolone, methional, β-damascenone, 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine, ethyl isovalerate, phenylethyl alcohol and linalool had high flavor dilution (FD) factors. Sotolone, β-damascenone and 3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine were identified for the first time in doubanjiang and played significant roles in its aroma quality.
