Curr Res Food Sci 2024; 8:100731. [PMID: 38623273 PMCID: PMC11016579 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2024.100731] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
Nitrates and nitrites, which are synthetic additives, are traditionally used as curing agents in meat-based products. These synthetic additives are employed in the preparation of fermented meat foods to improve quality characteristics and microbiological safety, develop distinct flavours and red-colour stability, and counteract lipid oxidation. Nitrites also display significant bacteriostatic and bactericidal action against spoilage microorganisms and foodborne pathogens (such as Clostridium botulinum and Listeria monocytogenes). However, meat curing is currently under scrutiny because of its links to cardiovascular diseases and colorectal cancer. Based on the current literature, this review provides recent scientific evidence on the potential utilisation of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) as nitrate and nitrite substitutes in meat-based foods. Indeed, CNS are reported to reproduce the characteristic red pigmentation and maintain the typical high-quality traits of cured-meats, thanks to their arginine degradation pathway, thus providing the nitrite-related desirable attributes in cured meat. The alternative strategy, still based on the NOS pathway, consisting of supplementing meat with arginine to release nitric oxide (NO) and obtain a meat characterised by the desired pinkish-red colour, is also reviewed. Exploiting NOS-positive CNS strains seems particularly challenging because of CNS technological adaptation and the oxygen dependency of the NOS reaction; however, this exploitation could represent a turning point in replacing nitrates and nitrites in meat foods.

Zheng SS, Wang CY, Hu YY, Yang L, Xu BC. Enhancement of fermented sausage quality driven by mixed starter cultures: Elucidating the perspective of flavor profile and microbial communities. Food Res Int 2024; 178:113951. [PMID: 38309873 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.113951] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024]
Abstract
The metabolic activities of microorganisms play a crucial role in the quality development of fermented sausage. This study investigated the effect of inoculation with different combinations of starter cultures (Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YR07, Latilactobacillus sakei L.48, Staphylococcus xylosus S.14, and Mammaliicoccus sciuri S.18) on the quality of sausages. Inoculation with mixed starter cultures promoted protein degradation to generate amino acids and the conversion to volatile compounds, which enhanced the flavor development in fermented sausages. The bacterial community analyses demonstrated that the inoculation of mixed starter cultures could inhibit the growth of spoilage and pathogenic bacteria, thereby reducing the total content of biogenic amines. The correlation analysis between the core bacteria and characteristic volatile compounds revealed that fermented sausages inoculated with Lactobacillus and coagulase negative staphylococci exhibited significant positive correlations with the majority of key characteristic volatile compounds. In four treatments, inoculation with L. plantarum YR07 and M. sciuri S.18 greatly promoted the formation of characteristic volatile compounds (3-hydroxy-2-butanone, hexanal, and 1- octen-3ol). Therefore, the combined inoculation of L. plantarum YR07 and M. sciuri S.18 is promising to enhance fermented sausage's flavor profile and safety.

Abstract
Interest in fermented foods, especially plant-based ones, has increased considerably in the last decade. Miso-a Japanese paste traditionally fermented with soybeans, salt, and kōji (Aspergillus oryzae grown on grains or beans)-has gained attention among chefs for its rich flavour and versatility. Some chefs have even been experimenting with making novel misos with untraditional substrates to create new flavours. Such novel fermented foods also offer new scientific opportunities. To explore the microbial diversity of these new traditional foods, we sampled six misos made by the team at a leading restaurant called Noma in Copenhagen (Denmark), using yellow peas (including a nixtamalised treatment), lupin seeds, Swedish Vreta peas, grey peas, and Gotland lentils as substrates. All misos were made with the same recipe and fermented for 3 months at 28 °C. Samples were collected at the end of fermentation for subsequent shotgun metagenomic sequencing and a genome-resolved metagenomic analysis. The taxonomic profile of the samples revealed the presence of kōji mould (A. oryzae) and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens in all misos. Various species of the genera Latilactobacillus, Lactiplantibacillus, Pediococcus and Staphylococcus were also detected. The Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) revealed genomic sequences belonging to 12 different species and functional analyses of these MAGs were performed. Notably, we detected the presence of Exiguobacterium-the first reported instance of the genus in miso-and Average Nucleotide Identity (ANI) analyses suggest a potentially new species. We hope these results will improve the scientific literature on misos and contribute to developing novel fermented plant-based foods.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traditional dry-cured fermented sausages favour the growth of an autochthonous microbial population, which plays an important role in their sensory aspects. However, some moulds can produce mycotoxins such as ochratoxin A (OTA). The biocontrol agents (BCAs) Debaryomyces hansenii FHSCC 253H and Staphylococcus xylosus FHSCC Sx8 have been demonstrated to reduce OTA production in dry-cured meat products, but their influence in the sensory characteristics of sausages has to be tested. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of these BCAs on the colour, texture and volatile profile of dry-cured fermented sausages. RESULTS D. hansenii caused few differences in the tested parameters with respect to the control batch. S. xylosus modified the texture and colour, although the values found were within the range expected for dry-cured fermented sausages 'salchichón'. Additionally, the volatile profile revealed the potential antioxidant effect of both BCAs and their ability to produce compounds associated with the ripened aroma that could increase product acceptability. CONCLUSION The results indicate that there were no inconveniences in implementing both BCAs during the processing of dry-cured fermented sausages 'salchichón'. Moreover, D. hansenii FHSCC 253H could improve the volatile profile of this product. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
Commercial starter cultures play a critical role in the industrial production of fermented sausages. However, commercial starter cultures could not reproduce the metabolic actions of diverse microorganisms and the aroma profile of the traditional spontaneously fermented sausages. Identifying the core microbial community in spontaneously fermented sausages will facilitate the construction of a synthetic microbial community for reproducing metabolic actions and flavor compounds in spontaneously fermented sausages. This study aimed to reveal the core microbial community of spontaneously fermented sausages based on their relative abundance, flavor-producing ability, and co-occurrence performance. We identified five promising genera to construct the synthetic core microbial community, these were Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Macrococcus, Streptococcus, and Pediococcus. Sausages inoculated with a synthetic core microbial community presented higher quality of aroma profile than the fermented sausages inoculated with a commercial starter culture. Some important volatile flavor compounds of spontaneously fermented sausage, such as (-)-β-pinene, β-caryophyllene, 3-methyl-1-butanol, α-terpineol, ethyl 2-methylpropanoate, and ethyl 3-methylbutanoate which are associated with floral, fruity, sweet, and fresh aromas, were also detected in fermented sausage inoculated with synthetic microbial community. This indicated that the synthetic core microbial community efficiently reproduced flavor metabolism. Overall, this study provides a practical strategy to design a synthetic microbial community applicable to different scientific fields.

Abstract
This study aimed to understand the community successions driven by different starters and their effects on the flavor development of Chinese fermented sausages. The results showed that the bacterial genus (67.6%) and pH (32.4%) were the key factors influencing the volatile profile. Inoculated the starters composed of Pediococcus and staphylococci maintained the stable community succession patterns dominated by staphylococci (samples T and S). Although the highly acidic environment (pH < 5.2) caused the community to exhibit a fluctuation in succession pattern, the inoculation of Latilactobacillus paracasei (sample Y) maintained microbial diversity and was conducive to the accumulation of aldehydes and esters. In sample P, inoculated the starter with Latilactobacillus and Staphylococcus also maintained microbial diversity, the moderately acidic environment (pH > 5.4) resulted in a stable succession pattern of the microbial community, and it was not conducive to the accumulation of aldehydes, alcohols and esters.

Abstract
This study examined the flavor profiles of fermented Ciba chili, comparing samples with Sichuan pepper (HJ) to those without Sichuan pepper (CK), using three analytical techniques: E-tongue, E-nose, and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). The results obtained from the E-tongue and E-nose exhibited a clear difference in taste and flavor between CK and HJ. In detail, CK mainly exhibited a sour flavor profile, whereas HJ displayed an intricate and rich flavor. The HS-GC-IMS results identified a total of 60 compounds in the samples, with terpenes, alcohols, and esters being the primary volatile flavor compounds. Additionally, Zanthoxylum was found to significantly enhance the concentration of these compounds in fermented Ciba chili. Through robust principal component analysis (rPCA), 17 distinct flavor compounds were selected. Correlation analysis revealed that most terpenes exhibited positive correlations with LY2/LG, LY2/gCT1, LY2/Gct, LY2/G, LY2/Gh, and terpenes were found in higher concentrations in HJ. This study contributes a theoretical basis and provides data support for optimizing the fermentation process and elucidating the underlying mechanism of characteristic aroma formation in Ciba chili after fermentation.

Abstract
This study produced two gels: one solely using psyllium fiber (GP) and another combining this fiber with linseed oil (GL+P). Both gels replaced 15% and 30% of the animal fat content of salamis. The objective was to evaluate the impact of this lipid reformulation on the technological, nutritional, oxidative, and sensory properties of the salamis. The lipid reformulation did not alter the evolution of pH and lactic acid bacteria during processing. The addition of GL+P did not interfere with the product's drying process. However, replacing 30% of animal fat with the GP resulted in greater weight loss and a lower final Aw value. The lipid reformulation minimally affected the color of the salamis but significantly enhanced their nutritional profile. This improvement was marked by a decrease in fat content and an increase in protein. Specifically, in the samples with GL+P, there was a rise in linolenic acid content and a reduction in the n-6/n-3 PUFA ratio. Adding GP did not affect the salamis' oxidative stability and sensory profile. However, substituting 30% of the animal fat with GL+P increased the TBARS values, and volatile compounds derived from lipid oxidation hampered the products' sensory profiles. A reduction in these negative effects was observed when replacing 15% of the fat with GL+P, suggesting this to be the ideal dosage for balancing the nutritional benefits with maintaining the product's oxidative stability.

Abstract
Ventricina del Vastese is a traditional dry fermented sausage from Central Italy not yet characterized for the occurrence, identity and safety of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), a bacterial group technologically important for this kind of product. Therefore, in this study, 98 CNS isolates from four manufacturers were differentiated using repetitive element palindromic PCR (Rep-PCR) and identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. These were examined for genes encoding biogenic amine (BA) production, resistance to aminoglycosides, β-lactams, tetracyclines and staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs). Staphylococcus succinus (55%) predominated, followed by S. xylosus (30%), S. epidermidis (7.4%), S. equorum (3.1%), S. saprophyticus (3.1%) and S. warneri (1%). One S. succinus subsp. casei isolate was slightly β-hemolytic. SEs and the histidine decarboxylase gene hdcA were not detected, whereas the tyrosine decarboxylase gene tdcA was detected in four S. xylosus isolates. The blaZ beta-lactamase gene in an S. equorum isolate, tetracycline resistance genes tetK in six S. succinus isolates and tetA in one S. succinus isolate also bearing tetK were found. The product examined is characterized by a peculiar CNS species ratio and a low occurrence and diversity of AR transferable genes than found in other studies, as a probable consequence of production only with meat from animals raised in small farms with extensive rearing systems in which antibiotic usage is infrequent.

Abstract
Smoked horsemeat sausage is a famous fermented traditional food in Xinjiang, China. However, the microbial diversity and its potential contributions to the flavor components of smoked horsemeat sausage are unclear. In this study, the microbial community and flavor components of smoked horsemeat sausage from six regions of Xinjiang were measured by using amplicon sequencing and headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) technology, respectively. Relations among microbial communities, flavor components and environmental factors were subsequently predicted based on redundancy analysis (RDA) and Monte Carlo permutation tests. Although smoked horsemeat sausage samples from different regions possessed distinct microbial communities, lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified as the dominant consortium in smoked horsemeat sausage. Lactobacillus, Vagococcus, Lactococcus, and Carnobacterium were detected at high abundance in different sausages. The moisture content, nitrite content, and pH of the sausage might be important factors influencing the dominant bacterial community, according to the RDA. Among the dominant consortia, the eight core bacterial genera showed considerable correlations with the formation of sixteen volatile compounds in smoked horsemeat sausage based on multivariate statistical analysis. For example, the levels of Leuconostoc and Lactobacillus were positively correlated with those of 1-hexadecanol, hexyl acetate, 2-methyl-phenol, 1-pentanol, d-limonene, and 2-heptanone, and the levels of Leuconostoc, Lactobacillus, and Weissella were negatively correlated with those of 1-octanol, acetic acid, octanal, heptanal, and 1-hexanol. This study will provide a theoretical basis for understanding the microbial metabolic modes of Xinjiang smoked horsemeat sausages.

Abstract
Bacterial communities in high-temperature Daqu and fermented grains are important for brewing Jiang-flavor Baijiu such as Danquan Baijiu. Daqu is a saccharifying and fermenting agent, which has a significant impact on the flavor of Baijiu. However, bacterial communities in three different types of samples from the Danquan distillery (dqjq_ck, dqjqcp, and dqjp3) were still unclear, which limited further development of Danquan Baijiu. “dqjq_ck” and “dqjqcp” indicate high-temperature Daqu at days 45 and 135, respectively. “dqjp3” indicates fermented grains. In this study, the bacterial communities of three samples were analyzed by Illumina Miseq high-throughput sequencing. The bacterial communities of three samples primarily composed of thermophilic bacteria and bacteria with stress resistance. The most abundant species in dqjq_ck, dqjqcp, and dqjp3 were Comamonas, Bacillus, and unclassified Lactobacillales, respectively. The main bacteria included Bacillus, Comamonas, Myroides, Paenibacillus, Acetobacter, Kroppenstedtia, Staphylococcus, Saccharopolyspora, Planifilum, Lactobacillus, Acinetobacter, Oceanobacillus, Enterococcus, Thermoactinomyces, Lactococcus, Streptomyces, Saccharomonospora, Tepidimicrobium, Anaerosalibacter, unclassified_Lactobacillales, unclassified_Thermoactinomycetaceae_1, unclassified_Bacillaceae_2, unclassified_Bacillales, unclassified_Microbacteriaceae, unclassified_Rhodobacteraceae, unclassified_Actinopolysporineae, and unclassified_Flavobacteriaceae in three samples (percentage was more than 1% in one of three samples). In our study, the succession of microbiota in three samples representing three important stages of Danquan Baijiu brewing was revealed. This article lays a good foundation for understanding the fermentation mechanism and screening some excellent indigenous bacteria to improve the quality of Danquan Baijiu in future.

Improving the Flavor of Fermented Sausage by Increasing Its Bacterial Quality via Inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum MSZ2 and Staphylococcus xylosus YCC3. Foods 2022; 11:foods11050736.

Abstract
This research aims to investigate the effects of Staphylococcus xylosus YCC3 (Sx YCC3) and Lactobacillus plantarum MSZ2 (Lp MSZ2) on lipid hydrolysis and oxidation, the bacterial community’s composition, and the volatile flavor compounds in fermented sausage. The bacterial community was examined by plate counting and high-throughput sequencing. Differential flavor compounds in non-inoculated and inoculated sausages were identified by principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA). The results showed that the free fatty acid (FFA) content was increased after inoculating with Sx YCC3 or Lp MSZ2. The pH, peroxide value (POV), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, lipoxygenase activity, and the counts of Enterobacteriaceae were lower in the inoculated sausage than in the non-inoculated sausage. The bacterial inoculation enhanced the competitiveness of Staphylococcus and Lactobacillus and restricted the growth of unwanted bacteria. The OPLS-DA revealed that (Z)-hept-2-enal, (E)-2-octenal, 1-nonanal, octanal, and 1-octen-3-ol were common differential flavor compounds that were found in the inoculated sausages but were not found in the non-inoculated sausages. A positive correlation was observed between the differential flavor compounds and the relative abundance of Staphylococcus or Lactobacillus, or the FFA content. Our results indicated that inoculation with Sx YCC3 or Lp MSZ2 can improve fermented sausages’ flavor by enhancing their bacterial quality and increasing their FFA content.

Abstract
Fermented meat rice (FMR) is a traditional Chinese fermented food with special flavor and abundant microorganisms. Lactobacillus and Staphylococcus species have been found to be excellent strains in FMR during fermentation. However, their roles in FMR flavor formation remain yet to be elucidated. Here, we investigated the correlation between physicochemical properties and volatile flavor components, as well as the microbial community during FMR fermentation. First, we determined pH, total titratable acids (TTA), proteins, total lipids, organic acids, free amino acids (FAAs), and volatile flavor compounds (VFCs). With increasing fermentation time, inoculation with Lactobacillus plantarum C7+ Staphylococcus warneri S6 (LP + SW) accelerated the decrease in pH, increased TTA, and reduced protein and total lipid content of FMR. In addition, LP + SW inoculation resulted in significantly (P < 0.05) higher contents of β-eudesmol, nerolidol, ethyl caproate, citronellal, lactic acid, and most FAAs (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, alanine, and lysine) in FMR compared to natural fermentation. Second, inoculated fermentation promoted the growth of Lactobacillus plantarum and/or Staphylococcus warneri and inhibited the growth of some potentially pathogenic microorganisms such as Acinetobacter and Enhydrobacter. Lactobacillus and Staphylococcus were found to be highly correlated with the physicochemical properties and VFCs (P < 0.05) of FMR as indicated by redundancy analysis (RDA) and partial least squares (PLS, VIP > 1.0) analysis. Finally, Spearman's correlation (| r | ≥ 0.7, P < 0.05) analysis of SPSS was visualized by the Cytoscape software. The findings suggest that inoculation with L. plantarum C7 and/or S. warneri S6 can significantly improve the flavor quality of FMR.

Abstract
The wide array of spontaneously fermented sausages of the Mediterranean area can represent a reservoir of microbial biodiversity and can be an important source of new technological and functional strains able to preserve product properties, counteracting the impoverishment of their organoleptic typical features due to the introduction of commercial starter cultures. We analysed 15 artisanal salamis from Italy, Spain, Croatia and Slovenia to evaluate the microbiota composition, through culture-dependent and culture-independent techniques (i.e., metagenomic analysis), chemical–physical features, biogenic amines and aroma profile. The final pH varied according to origin and procedures (e.g., higher pH in Italian samples due to long ripening and mold growth). Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coagulase-negative cocci (CNC) were the dominant population, with highest LAB counts in Croatian and Italian samples. Metagenomic analysis showed high variability in qualitative and quantitative microbial composition: among LAB, Latilactobacillus sakei was the dominant species, but Companilactobacillus spp. was present in high amounts (45–55% of the total ASVs) in some Spanish sausages. Among staphylococci, S. epidermidis, S. equorum, S. saprophyticus, S. succinus and S. xylosus were detected. As far as biogenic amines, tyramine was always present, while histamine was found only in two Spanish samples. These results can valorize the bacterial genetic heritage present in Mediterranean products, to find new candidates of autochthonous starter cultures or bioprotective agents.

High-throughput amplicon sequencing to assess the impact of processing factors on the development of microbial communities during spontaneous meat fermentation. Int J Food Microbiol 2021; 354:109322.

Abstract
During spontaneous meat fermentation, diverse microbial communities develop over time. These communities consist mainly of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), of which the species composition is influenced by the fermentation temperature and the level of acidification. Recent development and application of amplicon-based high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods have allowed to gain deeper insights into the microbial communities of fermented meats. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of different fermentation temperatures and acidification profiles on the CNS communities during spontaneous fermentation, using a previously developed amplicon-based HTS method targeting both the 16S rRNA and tuf genes. Spontaneous fermentations were performed with five different lots of meat to assess inter-lot variability. The process influence was investigated by fermenting the meat batters for seven days at different fermentation temperatures (23 °C, 30 °C, and 37 °C) and in the absence or presence of added glucose to simulate different acidification levels. Additionally, the results were compared with a starter culture-initiated fermentation process. The data revealed that the fermentation temperature was the most influential processing condition in shaping the microbial communities during spontaneous meat fermentation processes, whereas differences in pH were only responsible for minor shifts in the microbial profiles. Furthermore, the CNS communities showed a great level of variability, which depended on the initial microbial communities present and their competitiveness.

Abstract
Aroma-active compounds of lupin protein isolate and lupin protein isolate fermented with Staphylococcus xylosus and Lactobacillus sakei ssp. carnosus were investigated. The changes in aroma-active compounds were determined by application of aroma extract dilution analysis in combination with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry for identification, and by stable isotope dilution assays for quantification. A total of 30 aroma-active compounds for non-fermented and fermented samples were identified. The aroma profile of LPI fermented with Lactobacillus sakei ssp. carnosus was characterized as roasty and popcorn-like. Staphylococcus xylosus generated cheesy impressions, being in line with the fact that the main aroma compounds acetic acid, butanoic acid, and 2/3-methylbutanoic acid could be identified. Quantification of butanoic acid further confirmed these findings with the highest concentration of 140 mg/kg for LPI fermented with Staphylococcus xylosus. Our study provides insights into how fermentation utilizing different fermentative microbial strains, namely Staphylococcus xylosus and Lactobacillus sakei ssp. carnosus alters the aroma profile of lupin protein isolates. This demonstrates the potential of shaping fermented protein-based foods via targeted microbiological refinement.

Abstract
The impact on fermented sausages with 25% replacement of the sodium chloride content by 14% potassium chloride, 10% calcium ascorbate and 1% calcium glutamate during fermentation and ripening was evaluated based on the bacterial community composition and physicochemical and sensory characteristic analysis. Our results showed that the use of salt replacement varied the composition of the bacterial community and reduced the diversity of that in sodium-reduced fermented sausages. Moreover, the decrease in pH and the moisture content of fermented sausages with salt replacement accelerated the drying and ripening processes. The texture profile and color analysis did not reveal marked differences between normal fermented sausages and sodium-reduced products with salt replacement; however, salt replacement reduced resilience and lightness of fermented sausages. In addition, as shown in the principal component analysis, the comprehensive parameters of the fermented sausages with salt replacement were similar to those of normal salt products. These results indicate that the complex blends of salt replacement have great potential to be used to produce sodium-reduced fermented sausages.

Abstract
Microbial strains for starter culture-initiated sourdough productions are commonly isolated from a fermenting flour-water mixture. Yet, starter culture strains isolated from matrices other than sourdoughs could provide the dough with interesting metabolic properties and hence change the organoleptic properties of the concomitant breads. Furthermore, the selection of sourdough starter cultures does not need to be limited to lactic acid bacteria (LAB), as other food-grade microorganisms are sometimes found in sourdoughs. Therefore, different strains belonging to LAB, acetic acid bacteria (AAB), and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) that originated from different fermented food matrices (fermenting cocoa pulp-bean mass, fermented sausage, and water kefir), were examined as to their prevalence in a wheat sourdough ecosystem during 72-h fermentations. Limosilactobacillus fermentum IMDO 222 (fermented cocoa pulp-bean mass isolate) and Latilactobacillus sakei CTC 494 (fermented sausage isolate) seemed to be promising candidates as sourdough starter culture strains, as were the AAB strains Acetobacter pasteurianus IMDO 386B and Gluconobacter oxydans IMDO A845 (both isolated from fermented cocoa pulp-bean mass), due to their competitiveness in the wheat flour-water mixtures. Wheat breads made with G. oxydans IMDO A845 sourdoughs were significantly darker than reference wheat breads.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Fermented foods can cause human illness because of the unhealthy effect of biogenic amines (BAs) that accumulate by decarboxylation of free amino acids. Salami-type fermented sausages can contain BAs, but which bacteria and environmental factors contribute to BA production is not clear. Sixty-two sausages purchased from Swiss markets were evaluated for decarboxylating bacterial strains and concentrations of the BAs cadaverine, histamine, putrescine, and tyramine. Based on the size and number of employees of the meat processing plants, sausages were separated into two groups: artisanal and industrial. Concentrations of all four BAs were higher in industrial sausages than in artisanal sausages. Tyramine was the major BA detected in 46 of 62 sausages, at a maximum concentration of 785.22 mg/kg. Enterococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci (mainly the meat starter culture Staphylococcus xylosus) were the main tyramine producers. Putrescine was found in 20 of 62 samples, at a maximum concentration of 707.77 mg/kg. Concentrations of these two BAs were significantly correlated (P = 0.0407). Cadaverine and histamine were detected in nine and eight samples, respectively, and both were found in significantly higher concentrations (P = 0.019 and 0.036, respectively) in industrial sausages. Based on the tyramine concentration, five groups of fermented sausages were identified: group 1, very high concentrations (>700 mg/kg); group 2, high concentrations (400 to 700 mg/kg); group 3, moderate concentrations (200 to 400 mg/kg); group 4, low concentrations (<200 mg/kg); group 5, concentrations below the detection limit (0.05 mg/kg). Product samples with tyramine concentrations >200 mg/kg were considered of lower quality because consumption of such samples could be unhealthy for sensitive consumers. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
Food safety is of significant concern to consumers and is a major issue for the food industry. As such, the industry is aware of the importance of safety assessments of starters used in the production of fermented foods. Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are the predominant bacteria found in fermented foods worldwide. Because of this, food-derived CNS are used as starters for cheese and meat fermentation, and have been investigated for use as starters in soybean fermentation. Although food-derived CNS are generally considered non-pathogenic, their safety remains uncertain following the isolation of CNS from skin infections in humans and animals, and because they belong to the same genus as the highly pathogenic species Staphylococcus aureus. This review explores what is known about the safety of food-derived CNS, focusing on antibiotic resistance, enterotoxin genes, and biogenic amine production, to aid in the selection of starter candidates.

Abstract
The use of starter cultures helps to improve the quality and safety of traditional meat products. In this study, the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum R2 and Staphylococcus xylosus A2 inoculation on microbial community, lipolysis, proteolysis, and volatile compounds in Chinese dry fermented sausages were investigated. Culture-dependent and culture-independent high-throughput sequencing) methods were employed to evaluate the bacterial communities. Results showed that the total contents of free fatty acids (FFAs) and free amino acids (FAAs) were increased by inoculating the starter cultures, especially a mixed culture. A significant decrease in pH and water activity was observed in the inoculated sausages (p < 0.05). Moreover, the inoculation treatment enhanced the competitiveness of dominant bacteria and inhibited the growth of unwanted bacteria. This was beneficial to promote the release of FFAs and FAAs and to prevent the formation of off-flavours and rancidity. Thus, the flavour development in the inoculated dry fermented sausages was attributed to the improvements in microbiological quality.

Abstract
High-throughput sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were used to investigate changes in bacterial and fungal communities and volatile flavor compounds during a 32-day fermentation process of red pepper (Capsicum annuum L.). Key odorants were identified by olfactometry combined with GC-MS. Sixteen volatile compounds differed significantly after fermentation, including seven odorants. After fermentation, 1-butanol, 3-methyl-, acetate, phenol, 4-ethyl-2-methoxy-, octanoic acid, ethyl ester, styrene and 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol were the key odorants, producing a flavor described as peppery, fruity, sour, and spicy. The correlation between microorganisms and odorants in the fermentation was studied and 18 odorants significantly correlated with the core microbial communities in the fermented samples. For further analysis, strains of seven genera were isolated and correlation analysis by O2PLS indicated that Aspergillus, Bacillus, Brachybacterium, Microbacterium and Staphylococcus were highly correlated with the flavor formation. These findings would help to understand the fermentation mechanism of fermented red pepper flavor formation.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the correlation between bacterial communities and volatile compounds in traditional dry sausages from different regions in Northeast China. The bacterial community structure of dry sausages from five different regions as determined by high-throughput sequencing technology demonstrated that Firmicutes and Proteobacteria were the predominant phyla; Lactobacillus, Staphylococcus, Leuconostoc, Lactococcus and Weissella were the predominant genera; and Staphylococcus xylosus, Lactobacillus sakei, Weissella hellenica, Leuconostoc citreum, Lactococcus raffinolactis and Lactobacillus plantarum were the predominant species. Meanwhile, a total of 120 volatile compounds were detected in sausages from five different regions and mainly included alcohols, acids, aldehydes, ketones, esters and terpenes. Furthermore, the potential correlations between the core bacteria and major volatile compounds (64) were explored based on Spearman's correlation analysis. Positive correlations were found between W. hellenica, Lb. sakei, Lactococcus lactis, Lactobacillus alimentarius, Lb. plantarum and carboxylic acids and alcohols. Lc. lactis, Lb. alimentarius and Lb. plantarum were associated with the production of most esters, aldehydes and ketones. This study provides a deep insight into the relationship between the bacterial community and the volatile flavour profile of dry sausages, which may be helpful for the production of fermented dry sausages.

Abstract
Changes in the ecology of the various lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species, which are involved in traditional fermented sausages, were investigated in the light of the use of different breeds of pork, each of which was raised in two different environments and processed using two different technologies. The semi-quantitative molecular method was applied in order to understand how the different species alternate over time, as well as their concentration ratios. A significant increase in LAB over the first days of fermentation characterized the trials where the starter culture wasn't added (T), reaching values of 107-108 cfu g-1. On the other hand, in the trials in which sausages were produced with starter addition, LAB counts had a less significant incremental jump from about 106 cfu g-1 (concentration of the inoculum) to 108 cfu g-1. Lactobacillus sakei and Lb. curvatus were detected as the prevalent population in all the observed fermentations. Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lb. casei, Leuconostoc mesenteroides, Lactococcus garviae, and Lb. graminis also appeared, but their concentration ratios varied depending on the diverse experimental settings. The results of cluster analysis showed that a plant- and breed-specific LAB ecology exists. In addition, it was also observed that the breeding system can influence the presence of certain LAB species.

Abstract
Three coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) species were investigated for gene expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and the ability of nitrosomyoglobin (NO-Mb) formation in a dry sausage model without nitrite addition. The expression of nos gene was systematically proven from DNA to RNA to protein, and nitric oxide (NO) generation was also directly detected. In the dry sausage model system, the redness (a*-values) of samples inoculated with the three CNS species were higher than those inoculated with Pediococcus pentosaceus and the control (P < 0.05). The results from UV-vis and electron spin resonance spectroscopies revealed that pentacoordinate NO-Mb was formed in the sausages with either CNS or nitrite added. The sausage inoculated with Staphylococcus vitulinus had the highest NO-Mb content among the CNS-treated sausages. Dimer interface residues and phosphorylation sites of NOS in . itulinus differ from the other two CNS species as revealed by amino acid sequences, which may be responsible for the different catalytic activities.

Abstract
The present work was carried out to evaluate the microbiological and physicochemical composition of salamis produced with the meat of beef, horse, wild boar and pork. Salami productions occurred under controlled laboratory conditions to exclude butchery environmental contaminations, without the addition of nitrate and nitrite. All trials were monitored during the ripening (13 °C and 90% relative humidity) extended until 45 d. The evolution of physicochemical parameters showed that beef and pork salamis were characterized by a higher content of branched chain fatty acids (FA) and rumenic acid than horse and wild boar salamis, whereas the last two productions showed higher values of secondary lipid oxidation. Plate counts showed that lactic acid bacteria (LAB), yeasts and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) populations dominated the microbial community of all productions with Lactobacillus and Staphylococcus as most frequently isolated bacteria. The microbial diversity evaluated by MiSeq Illumina showed the presence of members of Gammaproteobacteria phylum, Moraxellaceae family, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Carnobacterium and Enterococcus in all salamis. This study showed the natural evolution of indigenous fermented meat starter cultures and confirmed a higher suitability of horse and beef meat for nitrate/nitrite free salami production due to their hygienic quality at 30 d.

Abstract
European fermented meat products are prepared according to a wide variety of different recipes and processing conditions, which can influence their fermentative microbiota. However, due to the diverse processing conditions applied across Europe, it remained unclear to which degree bacterial heterogeneity can be encountered in commercially available fermented meat products and whether this is linked to their geographical origin. Therefore, the bacterial species diversity of 80 fermented meat products available in the Belgian retail, coming from five different countries, was investigated. It was also assessed how this related to the country of origin and the key processing parameters pH and salt concentration. The samples originated from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. In general, Southern European fermented meat products commonly had a higher pH, with their lactic acid bacteria (LAB) communities being represented by Lactobacillus sakei and with mostly Staphylococcus xylosus and Staphylococcus equorum governing over the coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) communities. Among these products, the Spanish variants showed a higher prevalence of S. equorum, whereas S. xylosus was the prevailing CNS species in most French and Italian fermented meat products. In contrast, Northern European fermented meat products were generally more acidified and showed a higher prevalence of Pediococcus pentosaceus in their LAB communities, whereas Staphylococcus carnosus represented the CNS communities. Non-parametric statistical tests indicated the impact of the geographical origin on the prevalence of the LAB and CNS species. The latter was likely due to the combination of differences in process technology as well as starter culture use.

Abstract
Fermented sausages have a long tradition originating from China. In this study, three starter microorganisms including Pediococcus pentosaceus (P), Staphylococcus xylosus (S), and a combination of P. pentosaceus and S. xylosus (P + S) were conducted for the manufacture of traditional Xiangxi (a city in China) fermented sausages. The physicochemical changes of the above three kinds of sausages during fermentation were studied and discussed, and also compared with these properties on the natural fermented sausage (N, i.e., control). The results revealed that five kinds of bacterial phases were existed at different fermentation stages in N, P, S and P + S fermented sausages, respectively. The microbiological data showed that an initial enterobacteria count of approximately 5.3 log CFU/g for all four batches of sausages. The enterobacteria count in the inoculated sausages of P and P + S groups decreased significantly to about 1 log CFU/g whereas group N and S had a count of about 3.3 log CFU/g after fermentation. In the early stages of fermentation, the pH rapidly decreased below 5.3. FAA and FFA were significantly increased in all groups and TBARS value in group P was higher than that of the other three groups. In conclusion, starter cultures can be used to improve the hygiene level of Xiangxi sausages without significant effects on pH, AW, and nitrite residue.

Mapping the dominant microbial species diversity at expiration date of raw meat and processed meats from equine origin, an underexplored meat ecosystem, in the Belgian retail. Int J Food Microbiol 2018; 289:189-199.

Abstract
Although equine meats and their derived smoked or fermented products are popular in some regions of the world, they only form a minor fraction of the global meat consumption. The latter may explain why their associated bacterial communities have not received much attention. In the present study, 69 different samples of equine meats and meat products were investigated. The samples consisted of raw meat from horses (17 samples) and zebra (7), as well as non-fermented but smoked (24) and fermented (21) horse meat products. After purchase, all samples were stored at 4 °C and analysed at expiration date. Besides an estimation of the total microbial counts, specific attention was paid to the identification of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and catalase-positive cocci, in particular the group of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS), involved, due to their technological relevance in view of the elaboration of meat products. Samples that were loosely wrapped in butcher paper instead of vacuum- or modified-atmosphere packages were also screened for pseudomonads and enterobacterial species. In total, 1567 bacterial isolates were collected, subjected to (GTG)5-PCR fingerprinting of genomic DNA, and identified by multiple gene sequencing (based on the 16S rRNA, pheS, rpoA, rpoB, and/or tuf genes). Overall, the bacterial species diversity consisted mostly of LAB but was contingent on the type of product. Raw meat was dominated by Carnobacterium divergens, Lactobacillus sakei, Lactococcus piscium, and Leuconostoc gelidum, with zebra meat being particularly rich in lactococci. Smoked and fermented horse meat products contained mostly Lb. sakei and, to a lesser degree, Lactobacillus curvatus. In addition, several catalase-positive cocci (mostly Staphylococcus equorum), Anoxybacillus sp., Brevibacterium sp., Brochothrix thermosphacta, and the enterobacterial species Hafnia alvei were found.

Abstract
During spontaneous meat fermentations, Staphylococcus equorum, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, and Staphylococcus xylosus are generally the most prevailing species within the communities of coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS). There is an interest to introduce CNS isolates from artisan-style spontaneous meat fermentations as starter cultures in more industrialized processes, as to confer additional quality benefits. However, staphylococcal competitiveness within the meat matrix is affected by the processing conditions, which vary considerably among product types. A major factor of variability relates to the intensity of acidification, driven by the concentration of added carbohydrates. The effect of pH on CNS prevalence was studied in both a mince-based meat fermentation model and in fermented sausages produced on pilot scale. Roughly, from all experiments combined, it appeared that a pH of 5.3 corresponded with a breakpoint for CNS selection. Above this value, a general prevalence by S. xylosus was found, even overruling the addition of starter cultures consisting of S. equorum and S. saprophyticus strains. At pH values below 5.3, S. xylosus was also accompanied by S. equorum (following a mild pH drop) and S. saprophyticus (following a stronger pH drop). Still, addition of starter cultures affected the volatile profile compared to the control batch, even if those starter cultures were not able to dominate during the ripening process. This study nonetheless provides a warning for an overly confident use of specific CNS species as starter cultures, especially when in a given processing context the prevailing conditions do not allow superior growth compared to the CNS from the background microbiota.

Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are ubiquitous micro-organisms that are commonly present on animal skin and animal-derived foods. They are members of the beneficial microbial consortia of several fermented food products where they contribute to quality. Currently, only a few CNS species are included in commercial starter cultures, although many other ones with promising properties have been isolated from diverse food ecosystems. In the present study, a Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT) analysis of the potential use of unconventional CNS starter cultures for the fermentation of animal-derived foods is carried out. An overview of both their desirable and worrisome metabolic traits is given. In general, the application of innovative CNS-based starter cultures offers opportunities to modulate flavour, improve the safety and health aspects and develop novel colour development strategies for clean label products. Yet, their implementation is often not straightforward as nontrivial obstacles or threats are encountered, which relate to technological, food safety and legal concerns. As most of the desirable and undesirable characteristics of CNS species are strain dependent, a case-by-case evaluation is needed when evaluating specific strains for their potential use as novel starter cultures.

Effect of temperature and pH on the community dynamics of coagulase-negative staphylococci during spontaneous meat fermentation in a model system. Food Microbiol 2018; 76:180-188.

Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) contribute to the product quality of fermented meats. In spontaneously fermented meats, CNS communities are variable and difficult to predict, as their compositions depend on a superposed combination of different processing factors. To partially disentangle this superposition, a meat model system was used to study the influence of temperature and pH on the CNS community dynamics. Therefore, cured pork mince was prepared that was divided into three batches of different initial acidity levels, namely pH 5.7, pH 5.5, and pH 5.3. These three batches were incubated at three different temperatures, namely 23 °C, 30 °C, and 37 °C. Hence, the experimental set-up resulted in nine combinations of different temperature and initial pH values. Samples were analysed after 3 and 14 days to monitor pH, colony counts, and species diversity of the CNS communities, based on mannitol-salt-phenol-red agar (MSA) medium. At conditions of mild acidity (pH 5.7) and low temperature (23 °C), as often encountered during artisan-type meat fermentations, a co-prevalence of Staphylococcus xylosus, Staphylococcus equorum, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus occurred. At the same initial pH but higher incubation temperatures (30 °C and 37 °C), Staphylococcus lugdunensis became the prevailing CNS species, besides S. saprophyticus (30 °C) and the coagulase-positive species Staphylococcus aureus (37 °C). When the initial pH was set at 5.5, S. saprophyticus was the prevailing CNS species at both 23 °C and 30 °C, but it was replaced by Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus simulans at 37 °C after 3 and 14 days, respectively. At the most acidic conditions (pH 5.3), CNS counts declined and many of the MSA isolates were of non-staphylococcal nature. Among others, Staphylococcus carnosus (23 °C), Staphylococcus warneri (30 °C), and S. epidermidis (37 °C) were found. Overall, the results of the present study indicated that the processing factors temperature and pH had a clear impact on the shaping of staphylococcal communities during meat fermentation.

A peptidomic approach of meat protein degradation in a low-sodium fermented sausage model using autochthonous starter cultures. Food Res Int 2018; 109:368-379.

Abstract
Fermented sausage technology is currently compromised in decreasing the addition of NaCl. Use of starter cultures with peptidogenic potential could be a valuable strategy that can mask or hide off flavors produced by the use of NaCl substituents. In the present work, the peptidogenic potential of four lactic acid bacteria species was evaluated in a low-sodium beaker sausage (BS) model. Using a peptidomic approach, a total of 86 low molecular weight (LMW) peptides were accurately identified, mostly derived from myofibrillar proteins, especially actin, which generated 53 peptides. The BS inoculated with L. curvatus CRL705 generated 56 LMW peptides, followed by Enterococcus (E.) mundtii CRL35 with 43 peptides. In addition, BS inoculated with Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum and with L. sakei produced higher amino acid amounts over time as compared to the rest of BS models, highlighting the importance of both, time and sample effect on the overall free amino acid generation. The presence of each LAB strain in BS models generated a unique profile of small peptides and amino acids that could serve as a distinctive biochemical trait to differentiate specific fermented products. According to these results, E. mundtii and L. sakei, which are compatible between them, are proposed as the most efficiently adapted to low-sodium conditions. The use of selected strains during the processing of low-sodium fermented sausages could have a positive effect on the production of small peptides and free amino acids.

Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are involved in colour and flavour formation of fermented meats. Their communities are established either spontaneously, as in some artisan-type products, or using a starter culture. The latter usually consists of Staphylococcus carnosus and/or Staphylococcus xylosus strains, although strains from other CNS species also have potential for application. However, it is not entirely clear how the fitness of alternative starter cultures within a fermented meat matrix compares to conventional ones and how this may be affected by processing conditions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the influence of two key processing conditions, namely temperature and acidity, on the competitiveness of a cocktail of five different strains of CNS belonging to species that are potentially important for meat fermentation (Staphylococcus xylosus 2S7-2, S. carnosus 833, Staphylococcus epidermidis ATCC 12228, Staphylococcus equorum DFL-S19, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus FPS1). To this end, fermented meat models consisting of cured meat batters with initial pH values of 5.3, 5.5, or 5.7 were inoculated with these strains, stuffed in containers, and incubated at 23, 30, or 37 °C. Both the pH level and the temperature influenced the composition of the CNS communities, giving a competitive advantage to the best adapted species. Staphylococcus xylosus preferred low temperature and mild acidity, whereas an elevated temperature selected for S. epidermidis and a low pH for S. carnosus. Under the conditions tested, S. saprophyticus and S. equorum were outcompeted by the three other CNS species. Hence, CNS communities in fermented meats are not only established based on the initial presence of specific species in the meat batter but also by their subsequent adaptation to the processing conditions during fermentation, potentially overruling the use of starter cultures.

Abstract
Staphylococcus xylosus belongs to the vast group of coagulase-negative staphylococci. It is frequently isolated from meat products, either fermented or salted and dried, and is commonly used as starter cultures in sausage manufacturing. Analysis of the S. xylosus genome together with expression in situ in a meat model revealed that this bacterium is well adapted to meat substrates, being able to use diverse substrates as sources of carbon and energy and different sources of nitrogen. It is well-equipped with genes involved in osmotic, oxidative/nitrosative, and acidic stress responses. It is responsible for the development of the typical colour of cured meat products via its nitrate reductase activity. It contributes to sensorial properties, mainly by the the catabolism of pyruvate and amino acids resulting in odorous compounds and by the limiting of the oxidation of fatty acids, thereby avoiding rancidity.

Abstract
A portable electronic nose was used for extracting flavour fingerprint map of Chinese-style sausage during processing and storage, in parallel with detection of acid value (AV) and peroxide value (POV) for evaluating lipid oxidation. Sausage samples during processing and storage were divided into three and five quality phases, respectively. After comparison of sensors response to lipid oxidation, optimal sensor array was determined. Several classification and regression models were developed to classify samples into their respective quality phase and predict lipid oxidation using full and optimal sensor array. Results indicated classification accuracy for sausage samples were, respectively, above 95% and 82% during the processing and storage. For support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural networks (ANN) regression models, good performance in predicting AV and POV were obtained, with the coefficients of determination (R2s) >0.914 and 0.814 during processing and storage, respectively. Thus, E-nose demonstrated acceptable feasibility in evaluating the degree of lipid oxidation of Chinese-style sausage during processing and storage.

Abstract
Quality and safety are important challenges in traditional fermented sausage technology. Consequently, the development of a tailored starter culture based on indigenous microbiota constitutes an interesting alternative. In the present study, spontaneously fermented goat meat sausages were created and analyzed using a physicochemical and microbiological approach. Thereafter 170 lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains were isolated and preliminary characterized by phenotypic assays. The hygienic and technological properties, and growth and fermentative potential of isolates using a goat-meat-based culture medium were evaluated. All strains proved to have bioprotective features due to their acidogenic metabolism. Almost all grew optimally in meat environments. LAB isolates presented proteolytic activity against meat proteins and enriched amino acid contents of the goat-meat-based model. The most efficient strains were four different Lactobacillus sakei isolates, as identified by genotyping and RAPD analysis. L. sakei strains are proposed as optimal candidates to improve the production of fermented goat meat sausages, creating a new added-value fermented product.

Abstract
Coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) are not only part of the desirable microbiota of fermented meat products but also commonly inhabit skin and flesh wounds. Their proliferation depends on the versatility to use energy sources and the adaptation to fluctuating environmental parameters. In this study, the conversion of the amino acid arginine by two strains with arginine deiminase (ADI) activity (Staphylococcus carnosus 833 and S. pasteuri αs3-13) and a strain with nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity (S. haemolyticus G110) was modelled as a function of glucose and oxygen availability. Both factors moderately inhibited the ADI-based conversion kinetics, never leading to full repression. However, for NOS-driven conversion of arginine by S. haemolyticus G110, oxygen was an absolute requirement. When changing from microaerobic conditions to aerobiosis, a switch from homolactic fermentation to a combined formation of lactic acid, acetic acid, and acetoin was found in all cases, after which lactic acid and acetic acid were used as substrates. The kinetic model proposed provided a suitable description of the data of glucose and arginine co-metabolism as a function of oxygen levels and may serve as a tool to further analyse the behaviour of staphylococci in different ecosystems or when applying specific food processing conditions.
