Fermentation-based biotransformation of bioactive phenolics and volatile compounds from cashew apple juice by select lactic acid bacteria

Select lactic acid bacteria (LAB); Lactobacillus plantarum, L. casei and L. acidophilus were targeted for enhancing bioactives and flavor volatiles of cashew apple juice (CAJ) that is an underutilized byproduct from cashew nut processing in Tropical countries. Results indicated the vitamin C and phenolic metabolites such as condensed tannin can be increased at certain stages such as at 12 h over the 48 h fermentation period. Whereas antioxidant activity based on DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity generally decreased from initial unfermented stage range of (75%–95%) to consistently in the 50% range by 48 h of fermentation and this follows the decrease in viable counts. The fermentation process increased the condensed tannin contents in CAJ whereas hydrolysable tannins decreased. In this study the changes in flavor volatile types were also analyzed over the course of CAJ fermentation. The results indicated that LAB changed the flavor profiles of fermented CAJ and overall the fruity odor decreased, but the whiskey and acid odor increased. These results provide the foundation to further target the functional benefits of LAB-induced fermented CAJ for further human, animal, and plant health applications.

软儿梨果酒发酵过程中挥发性风味物质变化分析

软儿梨是西北地区特有的一种“冻果”产品,酸甜可口、果香浓郁,是酿造果酒的上乘原料。为明确果酒发酵过程中果香的保留情况,并探究发酵时间的延长对软儿梨果酒品质的影响,以青海省民和县软儿梨冻果为原料,基于带皮渣发酵工艺,先采用顶空固相微萃取（solid?phase microextraction, SPME）,再结合气相色谱?质谱联用技术（gas chromatography?mass spectrometry, GC?MS）对原汁（0 d）、前发酵（7、14、28 d）、后发酵（100 d）3个不同时期样品中挥发性风味物质进行了动态跟踪分析,并结合相对气味活度值（relative odor activity value,ROAV）和主成分分析（principal component analysis,PCA）法分别探讨了软儿梨果酒原果香味保留情况和后发酵时间的延长对果酒风味的影响。结果显示：整个发酵过程共检出88种挥发性化合物,其中酯类33种、醇类29种、酸类6种、萜烯类7种以及13种其他类化合物,且风味物质的总含量随发酵的进行呈先上升后略有下降的趋势。ROAV结果表明：软儿梨原汁关键风味物质共8种,分别是丁酸乙酯、己酸乙酯、2?甲基丁酸乙酯、正辛醇、大马士酮、芳樟醇、丁香酚和癸醛;其中果香物质己酸乙酯、正辛醇、芳樟醇、丁香酚和大马士酮在果酒发酵中得到了很好的保留,是决定软儿梨果酒风味的关键物质。主成分分析表明：发酵初期主要的香气贡献物质是具有水果香的丁酸乙酯、3?羟基丁酸乙酯、2?甲基丁酸乙酯;发酵100 d时,乙酸乙酯、α?松油醇、柠檬烯和芳樟醇对香气贡献较大,这些香气化合物共同赋予软儿梨果酒幽香清雅、馥香浓郁的独特风味品质。研究获得了软儿梨果酒关键风味物质及其在不同发酵阶段特征风味物质的变化规律,可为研发高品质软儿梨果酒产品、改进软儿梨果酒发酵工艺提供理论支撑和参考。     

Improved ethyl caproate production of Chinese liquor yeast by overexpressing fatty acid synthesis genes with <Emphasis Type="Italic">OPI1</Emphasis> deletion

During yeast fermentation, ethyl esters play a key role in the development of the flavor profiles of Chinese liquor. Ethyl caproate, an ethyl ester eliciting apple-like flavor, is the characteristic flavor of strong aromatic liquor, which is the best selling liquor in China. In the traditional fermentation process, ethyl caproate is mainly produced at the later fermentation stage by aroma-producing yeast, bacteria, and mold in a mud pit instead of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at the expense of grains and fermentation time. To improve the production of ethyl caproate by Chinese liquor yeast (S. cerevisiae) with less food consumption and shorter fermentation time, we constructed three recombinant strains, namely, α5-ACC1ΔOPI1, α5-FAS1ΔOPI1, and α5-FAS2ΔOPI1 by overexpressing acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC1), fatty acid synthase 1 (FAS1), and fatty acid synthase 2 (FAS2) with OPI1 (an inositol/choline-mediated negative regulatory gene) deletion, respectively. In the liquid fermentation of corn hydrolysate, the contents of ethyl caproate produced by α5-ACC1ΔOPI1, α5-FAS1ΔOPI1, and α5-FAS2ΔOPI1 increased by 0.40-, 1.75-, and 0.31-fold, correspondingly, compared with the initial strain α5. The contents of other fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEEs) (C8:0, C10:0, C12:0) also increased. In comparison, the content of FAEEs produced by α5-FAS1ΔOPI1 significantly improved. Meanwhile, the contents of acetyl-CoA and ethyl acetate were enhanced by α5-FAS1ΔOPI1. Overall, this study offers a promising platform for the development of pure yeast culture fermentation of Chinese strong aromatic liquor without the use of a mud pit.     

Identification and analysis of the metabolic functions of a high-salt-tolerant halophilic aromatic yeast <Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida etchellsii</Emphasis> for soy sauce production

Salt-tolerant yeasts are very important for the flavor formation in soy sauce fermentation production. A halophilic aromatic yeast was isolated on the basis of the molecular biological and metabolic functions from soy sauce. The ITS nucleotide sequence alignment method was used to identify the strain as Candida etchellsii by subjecting the sequence to NCBI-BLAST in comparison with that of the C. etchellsii strain Miso 0208 (a typical high-salt-tolerant halophilic aromatic yeast strain). Organic acids, amino acids and volatile flavor compounds were produced by the yeast strain which were analyzed by HPLC and SPME-GC/MS methods. Tartaric acid (0.979 ± 0.040 g/l), formic acid (0.636 ± 0.030 g/l), lactic acid (2.80 ± 0.10 g/l), α-alkone glutaric acid (0.132 ± 0.015 g/l), citric acid (2.59 ± 0.10 g/l) and succinic acid (3.03 ± 0.20 g/l) were detected at 72 h of fermentation, respectively. Free and acid hydrolyzed amino acids at levels of 3.7355 ± 0.0027 and 11.5604 ± 0.0037 g/l, respectively, 4-ethyl guaiacols as well as other volatile flavor compounds were also detected.     

采用代谢组学分析技术分析工业啤酒发酵过程中风味物质生成规律

啤酒风味是保证啤酒品质的关键因素之一。运用代谢组学的方法,分析工业啤酒发酵过程中酵母胞内代谢物和啤酒风味物质的对应关系,从代谢水平上研究风味物质形成过程中的关键影响因素。在啤酒发酵过程中,同时检测风味物质的含量变化和酵母胞内代谢物的变化,对得到海量的、多维的代谢数据采用主成分分析（PCA）和偏最小二乘分析（PLS）的多元统计分析方法进行处理。由PCA分析结果可知：磷酸、海藻糖、琥珀酸、谷氨酸、天冬氨酸、丙氨酸对主成分贡献比较大,说明这些代谢物在不同发酵阶段含量变化显著。由PLS分析结果可知：对啤酒风味影响最大的物质主要为氨基酸,包括丝氨酸、缬氨酸、苏氨酸、赖氨酸、丙氨酸、亮氨酸和天冬酰胺等,这为啤酒中风味物质的调控提供了一定的理论指导。     

Further purification and characterization of newly synthesized anionic glycoconjugates secreted by cultured UMR-106 cells: evidence that the major anionic glycoconjugate secreted by these cells is similar to bone sialoprotein II.

Following incubation of UMR-106 cells for 48 h in the presence of [3H]glucosamine and [35S]sulfate, the newly synthesized anionic glycoconjugates were isolated from the culture medium by cetylpyridinium chloride/ethanol precipitation and further separated by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography into two radiolabelled fractions, a major component, UM I, and a minor component, UM II. UM I appeared to be homogeneous as shown by Sepharose CL-4B chromatography under dissociative conditions, and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. It showed a molecular mass of approximately 93 kDa on 4-15% gels. UM I was partially degraded by brief treatment with trypsin, releasing a small, terminal peptide that contained 47.6% of 35S but no 3H. Treatment of UM I with neuraminidase and 0.1 N H2SO4 (1 h at 80 degrees C), respectively, released 27% 3H and 38.4% 3H plus 41% 35S, suggesting the presence of a significant number of sialic acid residues, as shown by Sephadex G-50 chromatography of the digests. Amino acid analysis showed that the UM I glycoconjugate was rich in acidic amino acids (12.6% aspartic acid and 21.2% glutamic acid residues) and its N-terminal sequence was Phe-Ser-Met-Lys-Asn-Phe-, which is identical to the published N-terminal amino acid sequence of rat bone sialoprotein II. Keratanase treatment of UM I released 26% of the incorporated radioactivity, suggesting the presence of keratan sulfate chains. UM II contained a chondroitinase ABC-sensitive proteoglycan.     

Effect of volatile compounds in grass silage on voluntary intake by growing cattle

Twenty-four low dry matter (DM) silages differing in fermentation quality were harvested at the same time from a crop that consisted mainly of timothy (Phleum pratense), and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis). The silage samples were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) - mass spectrometry and gas chromatography - flame ionisation detection in order to determine and quantify volatiles present in silage. The voluntary intake of the 24 silages had been measured in a previous feeding trial with growing steers of Norwegian Red. Thirteen esters, five aldehydes, three alcohols, and one sulphide were identified and quantified. A total of 51 variables describing the chemical composition of the silages were included in a partial least-squares regression, and the relationship of silage fermentation quality to voluntary intake was elucidated. The importance of variables describing silage fermentation quality in relation to intake was judged from a best combination procedure, jack-knifing, and empirical correlations of the variables to intake. The GC-analysed compounds were mainly present in poorly fermented silages. However, compared with other explanatory chemical variables none of these compounds was of importance for the voluntary intake as evaluated by partial least-squares regression. A validated variance of 71% in silage DM intake was explained with the selected variables: total acids (TA), total volatile fatty acids (TVFA), lactic acid/total acid ratio and propionic acid. In this study extent (by the variable TA) and type of silage fermentation (by TVFA) influenced intake. Further, it is suggested that by restricting the fermentation in low DM grass silages the potential intake of silage DM is maximised.     

Microbiological and Biochemical Characterization of Cassava Retting, a Traditional Lactic Acid Fermentation for Foo-Foo (Cassava Flour) Production

The overall kinetics of retting, a spontaneous fermentation of cassava roots performed in central Africa, was investigated in terms of microbial-population evolution and biochemical and physicochemical parameters. During the traditional process, endogenous cyanogens were almost totally degraded, plant cell walls were lysed by the simultaneous action of pectin methylesterase and pectate lyase, and organic acids (C(inf2) to C(inf4)) were produced. Most microorganisms identified were found to be facultative anaerobes which used the sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) present in the roots as carbon sources. After 24 h of retting, the fermentation reached an equilibrium that was reproducible in all the spontaneous fermentations studied. Lactic acid bacteria were largely predominant (over 99% of the total flora after 48 h) and governed the fermentation. The epiphytic flora was first replaced by Lactococcus lactis, then by Leuconostoc mesenteroides, and finally, at the end of the process, by Lactobacillus plantarum. These organisms produced ethanol and high concentrations of lactate, which strongly acidified the retting juice. In addition, the rapid decrease in partial oxygen pressure rendered the process anaerobic. Strict anaerobes, such as Clostridium spp., developed and produced the volatile fatty acids (mainly butyrate) responsible, together with lactate, for the typical flavor of retted cassava. Yeasts (mostly Candida spp.) did not seem to play a significant role in the process, but their increasing numbers in the last stage of the process might influence the flavor and the preservation of the end products.
