ABSTRACT
Highland barley vinegar, as a solid-state fermentation-type vinegar emerged recently, is well-known in Qinghai-Tibet plateau area of China. This work aimed to explore the main physicochemical factors, key flavor volatile compounds, and dominate microorganisms of highland barley vinegar during fermentation. The results showed that the decrease trend of reducing sugar, pH and the increase trend of amino acid nitrogen were associated with the metabolism of dominate bacteria, especially Lactobacillus and Acetobacter. Totally, 35 volatile compounds mainly including 20 esters, 10 alcohols, 2 aldehydes, 1 ketone and 2 pyrazines and 7 organic acids were identified. Especially, isoamyl acetate, acetyl methyl carbinol, ethyl caprylate, 1,2-propanediol, 3-methyl-1-butanol and ethyl isovalerate with high odor activity values were confirmed as key aroma compounds. Meanwhile, the relative average abundance of bacteria at genus level decreased significantly as fermentation time goes on. Among these microbes, Lactobacillus were the dominate bacteria at alcohol fermentation stage, Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were dominate at acetic acid fermentation stage. Furthermore, the correlations between dominate bacteria and the key volatile compounds were revealed, which highlighted Lactobacillus and Acetobacter were significantly correlated with key volatile compounds (|r| > 0.5, P < 0.01). The fundings of this study provide insights into the flavor and assist to improve the production quality of highland barley vinegar.
