Article Abstract
Asparagus by-products are the promising resource that urgently need to be re-valorized. This study investigated the dynamic changes in physicochemical properties, organic acids, free amino acids, volatile flavor compounds, microbial succession, and their correlations during 7-day spontaneous fermentation of asparagus by-products. Dominant organic acids (lactic acid and acetic acid) and free amino acids (Ser, Glu, and Ala) increased with fermentation time, with lactic acid reaching 7.73 ± 0.05 mg/mL and Ser increasing 56-fold after 7 days. A total of 58 volatile flavor compounds were identified using headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPEM/GC-MS), with esters, alcohols and acids as the main volatile flavor compounds. Fourteen volatile flavor compounds had odor activity value >1. High-throughput sequencing showed Firmicutes and Proteobacteria as the main bacterial phyla, dominated by lactic acid bacteria (Levilactobacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Weissella). Correlation analysis revealed that five bacterial genera (Levilactobacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Enterobacter, Pediococcus and Acetobacter) were highly correlated with organic acids, free amino acids, and volatile flavor compounds, indicating their pivotal role in forming the characteristic flavor of fermented asparagus by-products (FAPS). This study provides new insights into the flavor and microbial profile of FAPS, offering a strategy for value-added processing and industrial production.

Fermentation and post-ripening plays a significant role in shaping the nutritional value, taste, and aroma of natto. This study aimed to analyse nutritional trends in natto during fermentation and ripening, identify its characteristic volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and elucidate their formation pathways. VOCs were detected using HS-GC-IMS combined with sensory evaluation in the study.

This study investigated the effects of adding Saccharomycopsis fibuligera (SF) and Pichia kudriavzevii (PK) on microbial communities and flavor substances in industrial xiaoqu light-flavor baijiu production. The result showed that the highest acidity was found in the control group (CK: Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Rhizopus) at the end of fermentation. SF and PK promoted the growth of Rhizopus while decreasing the abundance of S.

In the present study, cockles were utilized as the raw material to investigate how different salt concentrations and fermentation periods influence the physicochemical indices, microbial community shifts, and volatile flavor components of cockle paste. Through the analysis of volatile flavor substances via GC-IMS, a total of 77 volatile flavor compounds were identified, among which aldehydes accounted for the largest proportion. High-throughput 16S rDNA sequencing was applied to decode the composition of dominant microbiota in the cockle paste samples.

Fermented foods are valued for their diverse flavor and health benefits, but the formation of ethyl carbamate (EC), a potential carcinogen, during production and storage poses challenges. Current EC reduction methods often compromise flavor and bioactive components. This study exemplifies a novel adsorbent combining activated carbon with metal-organic framework (MOF) chemistry for semi-selective EC removal.

Pu-erh raw tea (PRT), a post-fermented tea, is prized for its complex flavor profile and health-promoting properties. While extended storage enhances its sensory attributes, the decade-scale metabolic dynamics underpinning flavor evolution remain unexplored. This study comprehensively characterized non-volatile metabolomic profiles and flavor changes in PRT across a 10-year storage period (2012-2023).
