RÉSUMÉ
The brewing industry is constantly evolving, driven by the quest for novel flavours and fermentation characteristics that cater to evolving consumer preferences. This study explores the genetic and phenotypic diversity of European farmhouse yeasts, traditionally used in rural brewing practices and maintained outside of pure culture industrial yeast selection. We isolated landrace brewing yeast strains from diverse geographical locations across Europe, including Norway, Lithuania, Latvia, and Russia, and also included African farmhouse brewing strains from Ghana. Our genomic analysis using long-read and short-read whole genome sequencing uncovered a genetically distinct group that diverges from industrial brewing yeasts. This group, which is closely related to ale brewing strains, is preliminarily named the 'European Farmhouse' group and shows greater predicted admixture from Asian fermentation strains. Through genomic and phenotypic analyses, including flavour metabolite analysis via headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, sugar metabolite analysis via high-performance liquid chromatography, and wort fermentation analysis, we found a broad spectrum of fermentation capabilities, from rapid and efficient fermentation to unique aroma and flavour compound profiles, potentially offering novel traits for brewing applications. This study highlights the importance of preservation of brewing cultural heritage knowledge and resources including yeast cultures. KEY POINTS: ⢠A large set of geographically diverse farmhouse brewing strains were characterized ⢠Norwegian and Baltic farmhouse brewing strains form a distinct genetic group ⢠Farmhouse strains show considerable diversity in fermentation and flavour formation.

Pit mud (PM) is fermenting agents in the strong-flavor baijiu (SFB) production. In this paper, the discrepancies in fermentation parameters, microbial community succession patterns and metabolic phenotypes were compared in multidimensional PMs. The results showed that pyruvic acid, succinic acid, S-Acetyldihydrolipoamide-E, glycerol and glyceric acid were the key metabolites responsible for the metabolic differences between the 2-, 30-,100- and 300-year multidimensional PMs, while the butanoic acid, heptyl, heptanoic acid, heptanoic acid ethyl ester, hexanoic acid and octanoic acid were the key differential flavor compounds in the 2-, 30-,100- and 300-year multidimensional PMs. Concurrently, the diversity and abundance of microbial community also exhibited significant differences between the new and old multidimensional PMs, the assembly pattern of bacterial communities changed from deterministic to stochasticity from lower (bottom of the pit and under the huangshui fluid) to upper PM (up the huangshui fluid and top of the pit). Key microorganisms related to the succession process of the lower PM were Clostridium, Methanobacterium, Petrimonas, Lactobacillus, Methanobrevibacter, Bellilinea, Longilinea, Bacillus. In contrast, the upper PM were Caproicibacter, Longilinea, Lactobacillus, Proteinphilum, Methanobrevibacter, Methanobacterium, Methanobacteriaceae, Petrimonas, Bellilinea and Atopobium. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that the key environmental factors regulating the succession of microbial in upper PM were lactic acid, moisture, pH and available phosphorus. In contrast, the lower was lactic acid, acetic acid and ammonia N. Based on these results, heterogeneous mechanisms between new and old multidimensional PMs were explored, providing a theoretical support for improving the quality of new PM.

In recent years, the boom of the craft beer industry refocused the biotech interest from ethanol production to diversification of beer aroma profiles. This study analyses the fermentative phenotype of a collection of non-conventional yeasts and examines their role in creating new flavours, particularly through co-fermentation with industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae. High-throughput solid and liquid media fitness screening compared the ability of eight Saccharomyces and four non-Saccharomyces yeast strains to grow in wort. We determined the volatile profile of these yeast strains and found that Hanseniaspora vineae displayed a particularly high production of the desirable aroma compounds ethyl acetate and 2-phenethyl acetate. Given that H. vineae on its own can't ferment maltose and maltotriose, we carried out mixed wort co-fermentations with a S. cerevisiae brewing strain at different ratios. The two yeast strains were able to co-exist throughout the experiment, regardless of their initial inoculum, and the increase in the production of the esters observed in the H. vineae monoculture was maintained, alongside with a high ethanol production. Moreover, different inoculum ratios yielded different aroma profiles: the 50/50 S. cerevisiae/H. vineae ratio produced a more balanced profile, while the 10/90 ratio generated stronger floral aromas. Our findings show the potential of using different yeasts and different inoculum combinations to tailor the final aroma, thus offering new possibilities for a broader range of beer flavours and styles.

Bacterial fermentation is considered to be a cost-effective means of generating desired flavour compounds from plant-based substrates. However, the wide range of substrates present in plants makes it challenging to understand how individual components impact on flavour volatile organic compound (VOC) production. To simplify this, a defined medium can be used to better understand VOCs production with regard to individual compounds. In the current study, the VOCs produced by the lactic acid bacterium, Levilactobacillus brevis WLP672, growing in a defined medium containing different carbon sources (either glucose (DM), fructose (DMFr) or citrate (DMCi)) under a range of fermentation conditions (time: 0, 7, and 14 days; and temperature: 25 and 35 °C) were assessed using proton transfer reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-ToF-MS). Among the detected mass peaks (m/z), after 7 days of fermentation, the concentrations of m/z 45.033 (t.i. acetaldehyde), m/z 49.011 (t.i. methanethiol), and m/z 89.060 (t.i. ethyl acetate) were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in DM at 35 °C than all other treatments at either temperature. The knowledge obtained will help to produce desirable LAB fermentation flavour VOCs or VOC mixtures that could be used in developing plant-based analogues with acceptable sensory properties.

This study was conducted to comprehensively characterize, metabolites, lipids, and volatile flavor compounds of NingXiang (NX) pigs, Berkshire (BKS) pigs, and their crossbred (Berkshire × Ningxiang, BN) pigs using multi-omics technique. The results showed that NX had high intramuscular fat (IMF) content and meat redness. The metabolite and lipid compositions were varied greatly among three pig breeds. The NX pigs exhibited distinctive sweet, fruity, and floral aroma while BN pigs have inherited this flavor profile. 2-pentylfuran, pentanal, 2-(E)-octenal, and acetic acid were the key volatile flavor compounds (VOC) of NX and BKS pork. The VOCs were influenced by the composition and content of metabolites and lipids. The NX pigs have excellent meat quality traits, unique flavor profiles, and high degree of genetic stability regarding flavor. The study deepens our understanding of the flavor of Chinese indigenous pigs, providing theoretical basis to understand the meat flavor regulation under different feeding conditions.

Black rice wine (BRW) is a traditional Chinese rice wine with unique flavors; however, the formation pathways of flavor compounds driven by microbiota remain unclear. This study employed HPLC and GC-MS to reveal that during BRW fermentation, free amino acids increased sevenfold, volatile compounds doubled, and 28 key characteristic flavor compounds were identified. Metatranscriptomic analysis indicated that during fermentation, driven by physicochemical factors and microbial interactions, Saccharomyces gradually became the dominant active microorganism (relative abundance 87.01%-97.70%). Other dominant microorganisms (relative abundance >0.1%), including Saccharomycopsis, Pediococcus, Wickerhamomyces, and Weissella, significantly decreased. Meanwhile, the microflora's signature functions underwent succession: transcription early, carbohydrate metabolism mid-stage, and autophagy late. These microbial and functional successions facilitated the accumulation of flavor compounds. Metabolic network reconstruction revealed that Saccharomyces was pivotal in substrate degradation and flavor formation, while other dominant microorganisms actively promoted these processes. This study provides insights into regulating BRW's flavor through microorganisms.

Mechanization has emerged as a focal point in the modernization of traditional enterprises, offering standardized production and labor reduction benefits. However, little is known about how mechanization affects the microbiota and metabolite profiles of Daqu. To address this gap, we conducted a comprehensive comparison between traditional and mechanical sauce-flavor Daqu using a multi-omics approach. Results showed that mechanical Daqu exhibited higher acidity, amino acid nitrogen and enzyme activity, alongside lower fat and moisture levels. Following mechanization, lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Staphylococcus, Aspergillus and Saccharomycopsis were enriched and identified as biomarkers, whereas Oceanobacillus, Monascus and Scopulariopsis were notably decreased. Furthermore, significant disparities in metabolic profiles were observed between the two types of Daqu based on GC-MS, GC-IMS, and LC-MS/MS analyses. The content of volatile compounds was significantly higher in mechanical Daqu (332.82 ± 22.69 mg/kg), while that of non-volatile compounds was higher in traditional Daqu (753.44 ± 41.82 mg/kg). Moreover, OPLS-DA models identified 44 volatile and 31 non-volatile compounds as differential metabolites. Multivariate statistical analysis indicated that bacteria and fungi primarily contributed to protease and saccharification activities, respectively. Additionally, the co-occurrence network revealed that Oceanobacillus and Scopulariopsis were closely associated with non-volatile compound formation, while LAB and Rhizopus significantly influenced volatile compound production. These findings elucidate the multi-dimensional relationship between mechanization and Daqu quality, offering insights to advance the modernization of traditional industries.

Pea-protein-based ingredients are gaining attention in the food industry due to their nutritional benefits and versatility, but their bitter, astringent, green, and beany off-flavors pose challenges. This study applied fermentation using microbial cultures to enhance the sensory qualities of pea-protein-based beverages. Using UHPLC-TOF-MS analyses along with sensory profile comparisons, microbial species such as Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus johnsonii, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium longum were preselected from an entire culture collection and found to be effective in improving the overall flavor impression by reducing bitter off-notes and enhancing aroma profiles. Notably, L. johnsonii NCC533 and L. fermentum NCC660 exhibited controlled proteolytic activities after 48 h of fermentation, enriching the matrix with taste-active amino acids, nucleotides, and peptides and improving umami and salty flavors while mitigating bitterness. This study has extended traditional volatile analyses, including nonvolatile metabolomic, proteomic, and sensory analyses and offering a detailed view of fermentation-induced biotransformations in pea-protein-based food. The results highlight the importance of combining comprehensive screening approaches and sensoproteomic techniques in developing tastier and more palatable plant-based protein products.

In the study of protein-rich byproducts, enzymatic hydrolysis stands as a prominent technique, generating bioactive peptides. Combining exo- and endopeptidases could enhance both biological and sensory properties. Ultrasound pretreatment is one of the most promising techniques for the optimization of enzymatic hydrolysis. This research aimed to create tasteful and biologically active pork liver hydrolyzates by using sequential hydrolysis with two types of enzymes and two types of ultrasound pretreatments. Sequential hydrolyzates exhibited a higher degree of hydrolysis than single ones. Protana Prime hydrolyzates yielded the largest amount of taste-related amino acids, enhancing sweet, bittersweet, and umami amino acids according to the Taste Activity Value (TAV). These hydrolyzates also displayed significantly higher antioxidant activity. Among sequential hydrolyzates, Flavourzyme and Protana Prime hydrolyzates pretreated with ultrasound showed the highest ferrous ion chelating activity. Overall, employing both Alcalase and Protana Prime on porcine livers pretreated with ultrasound proved to be highly effective in obtaining potentially tasteful and biologically active hydrolyzates.

This study investigated the mechanism underlying the flavor improvement observed during fermentation of a pea protein-based beverage using Lactobacillus johnsonii NCC533. A combination of sensomics and sensoproteomics approach revealed that the fermentation process enriched or generated well-known basic taste ingredients, such as amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids, and dipeptides, besides six new taste-active peptide sequences that enhance kokumi and umami notes. The six new umami and kokumi enhancing peptides, with human recognition thresholds ranging from 0.046 to 0.555 mM, are produced through the degradation of Pisum sativum's storage protein. Our findings suggest that compounds derived from fermentation enhance umami and kokumi sensations and reduce bitterness, thus improving the overall flavor perception of pea proteins. In addition, the analysis of intraspecific variations in the proteolytic activity of L. johnsonii and the genome-peptidome correlation analysis performed in this study point at cell-wall-bound proteinases such as PrtP and PrtM as the key genes necessary to initiate the flavor improving proteolytic cascade. This study provides valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying the flavor improvement of pea protein during fermentation and identifies potential future research directions. The results highlight the importance of combining fermentation and senso(proteo)mics techniques in developing tastier and more palatable plant-based protein products.

Consumer trends towards nutrient-rich foods are contributing to global increasing demand for tropical fruit. However, commercial cultivars in the breeding pipeline that are tailored to meet market demand are at risk of possessing reduced fruit flavour qualities. This stems from recurrent prioritised selection for superior agronomic traits and not fruit flavour, which may in turn reduce consumer satisfaction. There is realisation that fruit quality traits, inclusive of flavour, must be equally selected for; but currently, there are limited tools and resources available to select for fruit flavour traits, particularly in tropical fruit species. Although sugars, acids, and volatile organic compounds are known to define fruit flavour, the specific combinations of these, that result in defined consumer preferences, remain unknown for many tropical fruit species. To define and include fruit flavour preferences in selective breeding, it is vital to determine the metabolites that underpin them. Then, objective quantitative analysis may be implemented instead of solely relying on human sensory panels. This may lead to the development of selective genetic markers through integrated omics approaches that target biosynthetic pathways of flavour active compounds. In this review, we explore progress in the development of tools to be able to strategically define and select for consumer-preferred flavour profiles in the breeding of new cultivars of tropical fruit species.

ß C-S lyases (ß-CSLs; EC 4.4.1.8) are enzymes catalyzing the dissociation of ß carbon-sulfur bonds of cysteine S-conjugates to produce odorant metabolites with a free thiol group. These enzymes are increasingly studied for their role in flavor generation in a variety of food products, whether these processes occur directly in plants, by microbial ß-CSLs during fermentation, or in the mouth under the action of the oral microbiota. Microbial ß-CSLs react with sulfur aroma precursors present in beverages, vegetables, fruits, or aromatic herbs like hop but also potentially with some precursors formed through Maillard reactions in cooked foods such as meat or coffee. ß-CSLs from microorganisms like yeasts and lactic acid bacteria have been studied for their role in the release of polyfunctional thiols in wine and beer during fermentation. In addition, ß-CSLs from microorganisms of the human oral cavity were shown to metabolize similar precursors and to produce aroma in the mouth with an impact on retro-olfaction. This review summarizes the current knowledge on ß-CSLs involved in flavor generation with a focus on enzymes from microbial species present either in the fermentative processes or in the oral cavity. This paper highlights the importance of this enzyme family in the food continuum, from production to consumption, and offers new perspectives concerning the utilization of ß-CSLs as a flavor enhancer.

Aromatic compounds serve as the primary source of floral and fruity aromas in sauce-flavor (Maotai flavor) baijiu, constituting the skeleton components of its flavor profile. Nevertheless, the formation mechanism of these compounds and key aroma-producing enzymes in sauce-flavor Daqu (fermentation agent, SFD) remain elusive. Here, we combined metagenomics, metaproteomics, metabolomics, and key enzyme activity to verify the biosynthesis pathway of aromatic compounds and to identify key enzymes, genes, and characteristic microorganisms in SFD. The results showed that the later period of fermentation was critical for the generation of aromatic compounds in SFD. In-situ verification was conducted on the potential key enzymes and profiles in various metabolites, providing comprehensive evidence for the main synthetic pathways of aromatic compounds in SFD. Notably, our results showed that primary amine oxidase (PrAO) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) emerged as two key enzymes promoting aromatic compound synthesis. Additionally, two potential key functional genes regulating aromatics generation were identified during SFD fermentation through correlation analysis between proteins and relevant metabolites, coupled with in vitro amplification test. Furthermore, original functional strains (Aspergillus flavus-C10 and Aspergillus niger-IN2) exhibiting high PrAO and ALDH production were successfully isolated from SFD, thus validating the results of metagenomics and metaproteomics analyses. This study comprehensively elucidates the pathway of aromatic compound formation in SFD at the genetic, proteomic, enzymatic, and metabolomic levels, providing new ideas for the investigation of key flavor substances in baijiu. Additionally, these findings offer valuable insights into the regulatory mechanisms of aromatic compounds generation.

Ethyl hexanoate and ethyl butyrate are indispensable flavor metabolites in strong-flavor Baijiu (SFB), but batch production instability in fermenting grains can reduce the quality of distilled Baijiu. Biofortification of the fermentation process by designing a targeted microbial collaboration pattern is an effective method to stabilize the quality of Baijiu. In this study, we explored the metabolism under co-culture liquid fermentation with Clostridium tyrobutyricum DB041 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae YS219 and investigated the effects of inoculation with two functional microorganisms on physicochemical factors, flavor metabolites, and microbial communities in solid-state simulated fermentation of SFB for the first time. The headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry results showed that ethyl butyrate and ethyl hexanoate significantly increased in fermented grain. High-throughput sequencing analysis showed that Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, Weissella, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_12, and Saccharomyces emerged as the dominant microorganisms at the end of fermentation. Co-occurrence analysis showed that ethyl hexanoate and ethyl butyrate were significantly correlated (|r| > 0.5, P < 0.05) with a cluster of interactions dominated by lactic acid bacteria (Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, Weissella, and Lactococcus), which was driven by the functional C. tyrobutyricum and S. cerevisiae. Mantel test showed that moisture and reducing sugars were the main physicochemical factor affecting microbial collaboration (|r| > 0.7, P < 0.05). Taken together, the collaborative microbial pattern of inoculation with C. tyrobutyricum and S. cerevisiae showed positive results in enhancing typical flavor metabolites and the synergistic effects of microorganisms in SFB.

In this study, food-grade glutamine transaminase (TGase) was utilized for the green-catalyzed preparation of N-butyryl amino acids. For improving the reusability of the enzyme preparation, immobilized TG enzyme (94.23% immobilization rate) was prepared. Furthermore, the yield of N-butyryl phenylalanine (BP) synthesized by TGase was obtained as 20.73% by one-factor experiment. The BP synthesis yield of immobilized TGase was 95.03% of that of TGase and remained above 60% of the initial enzyme activity after five runs. The sensory evaluation and E-tongue results showed that the addition of BP significantly increased the umami, saltiness, and richness intensities of the samples, and decreased the intensities of sourness, bitterness, and aftertaste-B. The molecular docking results indicated that hydrogen bonding dominated the binding of BP to taste receptors in the taste presentation mechanism of BP. These results confirmed the potential of BP as a flavor enhancer with promising applications in the food industry.

Aspergillus cristatus, the predominant microbe of Fuzhuan brick tea (FBT), is responsible for the creation of distinctive golden flower and unique floral aroma of FBT. The present study examined the alterations in chemical and aromatic components of raw dark tea by solid-state fermentation using A. cristatus (MK346334), the strain isolated from FBT. As results, catechins, total ployphenols, total flavonoids, theaflavins, thearubigins and antioxidant activity were significantly reduced after fermentation. Moreover, 112 and 76 volatile substances were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS, respectively, primarily composed of alcohols, ketones, esters and aldehydes. Furthermore, the calculation of odor activity values revealed that 19 volatile chemicals, including hexanal, heptanal, linalool and methyl salicylate, were the main contributors to the floral, fungal, woody and minty aroma of dark tea. The present research highlights the pivotal role played by the fermentation with A. cristatus in the chemical composition, antioxidant property and distinctive flavor of dark tea.

White tea stored for various times have different flavors. However, the mechanism of flavor conversion remains elusive. Flavonoids and amino acids are two typical flavor components in tea. Herein, the contents of 46 flavonoids and 40 amino acids were measured in white tea (Shoumei) stored for 1, 3, 5 and 7 years, respectively. L-tryptophan, L-ornithine and L-theanine contribute to the refreshing taste of Shoumei 1 and 3. Quercetin, rutin and hesperidin contribute to aging charm and grain aroma of Shoumei 5 and 7. 306 bacterial OTUs and 268 fungal OTUs core microbiota existed in all samples. Interestingly, white teas contained higher richness of fungi than bacteria. The correlation analysis showed that the cooperation with bacteria and fungi may result in the flavonoids and amino acids composition changes in white teas during storage. Overall, this study provides new insights into flavor conversion of white tea during storage.

To investigate the mechanisms of flavor formation in dry-fermented tilapia sausages, the volatiles, bacterial community, and lipid composition during fermentation were analyzed using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry, 16S high throughput sequencing, and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer. Pediococcus pentosaceus, Staphylococcus xylosus, and Staphylococcus carnosus became dominant bacteria during the fermentation. A total of 66 volatiles and 293 lipids (48 differential lipids) were identified. PC and PE content decreased. Aldehyde and 1-octen-3-ol content decreased. Most esters and ketones content increased during fermentation. Six metabolic pathways associated with differential lipids were identified by enrichment analysis. Glycerophospholipid metabolism was the main metabolic pathway. Correlation analysis revealed that PC and PE were precursors for volatiles, including PC 16:0/18:2 and PE 18:0/22:6. The dominant bacteria facilitate the hydrolysis of PC and PE, leading to the formation of esters and ketones. This study provides a theoretical basis for the targeted regulation of fermented sausage flavors.

Fruit ripening is a natural, irreversible process crucial for developing luscious flavor and appealing appearance. Fruits are lauded for their health benefits, forming a key part of a balanced diet. Regrettably, the continued use of calcium carbide (CaC2) to ripen fruit persists in various regions due to its low cost and perceived effectiveness. This method raises significant concerns about health, safety, and the resultant fruit quality and flavor. CaC2 and CaC2-ripened fruits contain harmful substances like inorganic arsenic and phosphorus hydrides, posing considerable health risks including chronic toxicity upon consumption or exposure to acetylene released during CaC2 application. Ensuring food safety requires adherence to regulatory standards governing harmful substances in food. Thus, understanding the risks of consuming CaC2-ripened fruit is crucial for crafting strategies to protect consumers' nutritional well-being and food safety. This review presents a comprehensive analysis of the impacts and apprehensions regarding use of CaC2 as a ripening agent in fresh fruit.

In this experiment, the changes in protein hydrolysis, protein oxidation, and flavor of low-salt wet-marinated fermented golden pomfret were studied during processing. During processing, a decrease in sulfhydryl content (P < 0.05), a significant increase in protein surface hydrophobicity (P < 0.05), a significant increase in carbonyl content and TCA-soluble peptide (P < 0.05), an increase in TVB-N and amino acid nitrogen (P < 0.05), and a significant increase in the content of free amino acids (P < 0.05), indicating that proteins were gradually oxidized and degraded to small molecules and flavor precursors under the action of bacterial reduction pretreatment, deodorization, marination and fermentation processes, small molecules and aroma precursors was generated by gradual oxidative decomposition. In the course of processing, a total of 113 volatile flavor compounds were identified using GC-MS analysis, while OPLS-DA analysis and VIP value determination led to the identification of 10 characteristic flavor compounds. The results showed that an abundance of flavor compounds was generated during the processing, thereby imparting a more pronounced taste profile to the low-salt wet-marinated fermented golden carp. The results showed that a large number of flavor substances were generated during the processing to give a richer flavor to low-salt wet-marinated fermented golden pomfret that could provide data and theoretical support for the subsequent processing industry of golden pomfret.
