Microb Cell Fact 2024; 23:253.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The market for beverages is highly changing within the last years. Increasing consumer awareness towards healthier drinks led to the revival of traditional and the creation of innovative beverages. Various protein-rich legumes were used for milk analogues, which might be also valuable raw materials for refreshing, protein-rich beverages. However, no such applications have been marketed so far, which might be due to unpleasant organoleptic impressions like the legume-typical "beany" aroma. Lactic acid fermentation has already been proven to be a remedy to overcome this hindrance in consumer acceptance. RESULTS In this study, a statistically based approach was used to elucidate the impact of the fermentation parameters temperature, inoculum cell concentration, and methionine addition on the fermentation of lupine- and faba bean-based substrates. A total of 39 models were found and verified. The majority of these models indicate a strong impact of the temperature on the reduction of aldehydes connected to the "beany" impression (e.g., hexanal) and on the production of pleasantly perceived aroma compounds (e.g., β-damascenone). Positively, the addition of methionine had only minor impacts on the negatively associated sulfuric compounds methional, dimethyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and dimethyl trisulfide. Moreover, in further fermentations, the time was added as an additional parameter. It was shown that the strains grew well, strongly acidified the both substrates (pH ≤ 4.0) within 6.5 h, and reached cell counts of > 9 log10 CFU/mL after 24 h. Notably, most of the aldehydes (like hexanal) were reduced within the first 6-7 h, whereas pleasant compounds like β-damascenone reached high concentrations especially in the later fermentation (approx. 24-48 h). CONCLUSIONS Out of the fermentation parameters temperature, inoculum cell concentration, and methionine addition, the temperature had the highest influence on the observed aroma and taste active compounds. As the addition of methionine to compensate for the legume-typical deficit did not lead to an adverse effect, fortifying legume-based substrates with methionine should be considered to improve the bioavailability of the legume protein. Aldehydes, which are associated with the "beany" aroma impression, can be removed efficiently in fermentation. However, terminating the process prematurely would lead to an incomplete production of pleasant aroma compounds.

J Food Sci 2024; 89:4229-4249. [PMID: 38875321 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.17145] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 04/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the aromatic composition of pea albumin and globulin fractions obtained through either fermentation or conventional acidification using hydrochloric acid (control) toward the isoelectric point of pea globulins. Different lactic acid bacteria were used including S. thermophilus (ST), L. plantarum (LP), and their coculture (STLP). The volatile compounds were extracted by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation technique and quantified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Odor-active compounds (OAC) were further characterized by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). In total, 96 volatile and 36 OACs were identified by GC-MS and GC-O, respectively. The results indicated that the protein fractions obtained by conventional acidification were mainly described by green notes for the presence of different volatile compounds such as hexanal. However, the samples obtained by fermentation had a lower content of these volatile compounds. Moreover, protein fractions obtained by coculture fermentation were described by volatile compounds associated with fruity, floral, and lactic notes. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The insights from this study on pea protein aroma could find practical use in the food industry to enhance the sensory qualities of plant-based products. By utilizing fermentation methods and specific lactic acid bacteria combinations, manufacturers may produce pea protein with reduced undesirable green notes, offering consumers food options with improved flavors. This research may contribute to the development of plant-based foods that not only provide nutritional benefits but also meet consumer preferences for a more appealing taste profile.

Deciphering the metabolism of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii during soy juice fermentation using phenotypic and transcriptional analysis. Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0193623. [PMID: 38376234 PMCID: PMC10952386 DOI: 10.1128/aem.01936-23] [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: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 01/03/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
In the context of sustainable diet, the development of soy-based yogurt fermented with lactic acid bacteria is an attractive alternative to dairy yogurts. To decipher the metabolism of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii during soy juice (SJ) fermentation, the whole genome of the strain CIRM-BIA865 (Ld865) was sequenced and annotated. Then Ld865 was used to ferment SJ. Samples were analyzed throughout fermentation for their cell number, carbohydrate, organic acid, free amino acid, and volatile compound contents. Despite acidification, the number of Ld865 cells did not rise, and microscopic observations revealed the elongation of cells from 3.6 µm (inoculation) to 36.9 µm (end of fermentation). This elongation was observed in SJ but not in laboratory-rich medium MRS. Using transcriptomic analysis, we showed that the biosynthesis genes of peptidoglycan and membrane lipids were stably expressed, in line with the cell elongation observed, whereas no genes implicated in cell division were upregulated. Among the main sugars available in SJ (sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose), Ld865 only used sucrose. The transcriptomic analysis showed that Ld865 implemented the two transport systems that it contains to import sucrose: a PTS system and an ABC transporter. To fulfill its nitrogen needs, Ld865 probably first consumed the free amino acids of the SJ and then implemented different oligopeptide transporters and proteolytic/peptidase enzymes. In conclusion, this study showed that Ld865 enables fast acidification of SJ, despite the absence of cell division, leads to a product rich in free amino acids, and also leads to the production of aromatic compounds of interest. IMPORTANCE To reduce the environmental and health concerns related to food, an alternative diet is recommended, containing 50% of plant-based proteins. Soy juice, which is protein rich, is a relevant alternative to animal milk, for the production of yogurt-like products. However, soy "beany" and "green" off-flavors limit the consumption of such products. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) used for fermentation can help to improve the organoleptic properties of soy products. But metabolic data concerning LAB adapted to soy juice are lacking. The aim of this study was, thus, to decipher the metabolism of Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. delbrueckii during fermentation of a soy juice, based on a multidisciplinary approach. This result will contribute to give tracks for a relevant selection of starter. Indeed, the improvement of the organoleptic properties of these types of products could help to promote plant-based proteins in our diet.

Abstract
Vegetable drinks offer a convenient way to increase the daily intake of vegetables containing vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. In this study, we discovered that mungbean milk serves as a carbohydrate source during fermentation using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and enhances the nutritional value of vegetable yoghurt. Mungbean milk reduces pH while titratable acidity increases faster than soybean milk during fermentation. M0S, Soybean milk 100% with added sucrose exhibited the highest titratable acidity after 16 h of fermentation. The acetic acid content of all samples did not show significant changes during fermentation, but the lactic acid content increased. Proximate analysis showed no significant change during fermentation, regardless of the fermentation time and mixing ratio of mungbean to soybean milk. The sucrose content of samples except M0S decreased after 16 h of fermentation. Mungbean milk exhibited high antioxidant activity both before and after fermentation, while M0S showed the lowest antioxidant activity. The results of this study demonstrated the potential application of mungbean milk to improve fermented vegetable drinks using LAB functionally. Fermented mungbean milk yoghurt can be a valuable addition to a healthy and balanced diet for those who consume plant-based diets.

Abstract
Leuconostoc spp. is often regarded as the flavor producer, responsible for the production of acetoin and diacetyl in dairy cheese. In this study, we investigate seven plant-derived Leuconostoc strains, covering four species, in their potential as a lyophilized starter culture for flavor production in fermented soy-based cheese alternatives. We show that the process of lyophilization of Leuconostoc can be feasible using a soy-based lyoprotectant, with survivability up to 63% during long term storage. Furthermore, the storage in this media improves the subsequent growth in a soy-based substrate in a strain specific manner. The utilization of individual raffinose family oligosaccharides was strain dependent, with Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides NFICC99 being the best consumer. Furthermore, we show that all investigated strains were able to produce a range of volatile flavor compounds found in dairy cheese products, as well as remove certain dairy off-flavors from the soy-based substrate like hexanal and 2-pentylfuran. Also here, NFICC99 was strain producing most cheese-related volatile flavor compounds, followed by Leuconostoc mesenteroides NFICC319. These findings provide initial insights into the development of Leuconostoc as a potential starter culture for plant-based dairy alternatives, as well as a promising approach for generation of stable, lyophilized cultures.

Flavour by design: food-grade lactic acid bacteria improve the volatile aroma spectrum of oat milk, sunflower seed milk, pea milk, and faba milk towards improved flavour and sensory perception. Microb Cell Fact 2023; 22:133. [PMID: 37479998 PMCID: PMC10362582 DOI: 10.1186/s12934-023-02147-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2023] [Accepted: 07/10/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The global market of plant-based milk alternatives is continually growing. Flavour and taste have a key impact on consumers' selection of plant-based beverages. Unfortunately, natural plant milks have only limited acceptance. Their typically bean-like and grassy notes are perceived as "off-flavours" by consumers, while preferred fruity, buttery, and cheesy notes are missing. In this regard, fermentation of plant milk by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) appears to be an appealing option to improve aroma and taste. RESULTS In this work, we systematically studied LAB fermentation of plant milk. For this purpose, we evaluated 15 food-approved LAB strains to ferment 4 different plant milks: oat milk (representing cereal-based milk), sunflower seed milk (representing seed-based milk), and pea and faba milk (representing legume-based milk). Using GC‒MS analysis, flavour changes during anaerobic fermentations were studied in detail. These revealed species-related and plant milk-related differences and highlighted several well-performing strains delivered a range of beneficial flavour changes. A developed data model estimated the impact of individual flavour compounds using sensory scores and predicted the overall flavour note of fermented and nonfermented samples. Selected sensory perception tests validated the model and allowed us to bridge compositional changes in the flavour profile with consumer response. CONCLUSION Specific strain-milk combinations provided quite different flavour notes. This opens further developments towards plant-based products with improved flavour, including cheesy and buttery notes, as well as other innovative products in the future. S. thermophilus emerged as a well-performing strain that delivered preferred buttery notes in all tested plant milks. The GC‒MS-based data model was found to be helpful in predicting sensory perception, and its further refinement and application promise enhanced potential to upgrade fermentation approaches to flavour-by-design strategies.

Abstract
Faba beans as an alternative source of protein have received significant attention from consumers and the food industry. Flavor represents a major driving force that hinders the utilization faba beans in various products due to off-flavor. Off-flavors are produced from degradation of amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids during seed development and post-harvest processing stages (storage, dehulling, thermal treatment, and protein extraction). In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge on the aroma of faba bean ingredients and various aspects, such as cultivar, processing, and product formulation that influence flavour. Germination, fermentation, and pH modulation were identified as promising methods to improve overall flavor and bitter compounds. The probable pathway in controlling off-flavor evolution during processing has also been discussed to provide efficient strategies to limit their impact and to encourage the use of faba bean ingredients in healthy food design.

Abstract
Soybeans possess unexpected flavors and are difficult to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. Kefir grain fermentation provides diverse strains and bioactive compounds, which may enhance flavor and bioaccessibility. Third-generation sequencing was applied to analyze the microbial diversity in milk and soybean kefir grains in this study. In both types of kefir grains, the most common bacterial genus was Lactobacillus, and their fungal communities were dominated by Kazachstania. Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens was the most abundant species in kefir grains, while Lactobacillus kefiri showed a higher proportion in soybean kefir grains. In addition, the quantification of free amino acids and volatile flavor compounds in soybean solution and soybean kefir have shown the increased content of glutamic acid and a decreased amount of unpleasant beany flavor compounds, demonstrating that the nutritive value and sensory properties of soybean can be improved by kefir grain fermentation. Finally, the bioconversion of isoflavones during fermentation and in vitro digestion was evaluated, suggesting that fermentation is beneficial for aglycone formation and absorption. To conclude, kefir fermentation is proposed to change the microbial structure of kefir grains, promote the nutritional value of soybean-based fermented products, and provide possible solutions for the development of soybean products.

Abstract
Many consumers nowadays demand plant-based milk analogs for reasons related to lifestyle, health, diet and sustainability. This has led to the increasing development of new products, fermented or not. The objective of the present study was to develop a plant-based fermented product (based on soy milk analog or on hemp milk analog), as well as mixes, using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and propionic acid bacteria (PAB) strains, as well as consortia thereof. We screened a collection of 104 strains, from nine LAB species and two PAB species, based on their ability to ferment plant or milk carbohydrates, to acidify goat milk, soy milk analog and hemp milk analog, as well as to hydrolyze proteins isolated from these three products. Strains were also screened for their immunomodulatory ability to induce secretion of two interleukins, i.e., IL-10 and IL-12, in human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells. We selected five strains: Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. lactis Bioprox1585, Lactobacillus acidophilus Bioprox6307, Lactococcus lactis Bioprox7116, Streptococcus thermophilus CIRM-BIA251, and Acidipropionibacterium acidipropionici CIRM-BIA2003. We then assembled them in 26 different bacterial consortia. Goat milk and soy milk analog fermented by each of the five strains or by the 26 consortia were tested in vitro, for their ability to modulate inflammation in cultured Human Epithelial Intestinal Cells (HEIC) stimulated by pro-inflammatory Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Escherichia coli. Plant-based milk analogs, fermented by one consortium composed of L.delbrueckii subsp. lactis Bioprox1585, Lc.lactis Bioprox7116, and A.acidipropionici CIRM-BIA2003, reduced the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-8 in HIECs. Such innovative fermented vegetable products thus open perspectives as functional foods targeting gut inflammation.

Abstract
Our study investigated the effectiveness of 446 strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) belonging to different species and isolated from diverse sources (food, human, and animal) as potential probiotic candidates, with the perspective of producing dietary supplements or pharmacological formulations suitable for enhancing gastrointestinal digestion. The survival capability of all the isolates under harsh gastrointestinal tract conditions was evaluated, in which only 44 strains, named high-resistant, were selected for further food digestibility investigations. All 44 strains hydrolyzed raffinose and exhibited amino and iminopeptidase activities but at various extents, confirming species- and strain-specificity. After partial in vitro digestion mimicking oral and gastric digestive phases, food matrices were incubated with single strains for 24 h. Fermented partially digested matrices provided additional functional properties for some investigated strains by releasing peptides and increasing the release of highly bio-accessible free phenolic compounds. A scoring procedure was proposed as an effective tool to reduce data complexity and quantitively characterize the probiotic potential of each LAB strain, which could be more useful in the selection procedure of powerful probiotics.

Abstract
Bisifusarium domesticum is among the main molds used during cheese-making for its "anticollanti" property that prevents the sticky smear defect of some cheeses. Previously, numerous cheese rinds were sampled to create a working collection and not only did we isolate B. domesticum but we observed a completely unexpected diversity of "Fusarium-like" fungi belonging to the Nectriaceae family. Four novel cheese-associated species belonging to two genera were described: Bisifusarium allantoides, Bisifusarium penicilloides, Longinectria lagenoides, and Longinectria verticilliformis. In this study, we thus aimed at determining their potential functional impact during cheese-making by evaluating their lipolytic and proteolytic activities as well as their capacity to produce volatile (HS-Trap GC-MS) and non-volatile secondary metabolites (HPLC & LC-Q-TOF). While all isolates were proteolytic and lipolytic, higher activities were observed at 12 °C for several B. domesticum, B. penicilloides and L. lagenoides isolates, which is in agreement with typical cheese ripening conditions. Using volatilomics, we identified multiple cheese-related compounds, especially ketones and alcohols. B. domesticum and B. penicilloides isolates showed higher aromatic potential although compounds of interest were also produced by B. allantoides and L. lagenoides. These species were also lipid producers. Finally, an untargeted extrolite analysis suggested a safety status of these strains as no known mycotoxins were produced and revealed the production of potential novel secondary metabolites. Biopreservation tests performed with B. domesticum suggested that it may be an interesting candidate for biopreservation applications in the cheese industry in the future.

Abstract
Spoiled odors are a problem in thermally sterilized fermented soymilk. This study aims to clarify production conditions and key odorants of spoiled odors. The sensory evaluation showed that thermal sterilization caused a decrease in the sensory intensity of yogurt and fruity odors while significantly increasing undesirable aromas including beany, acidic, cooked-beans and spoiled odors. The spoiled odors increased with increasing acidity and heating temperatures. The strongest spoiled odor was observed in fermented soymilk at titratable acidity of 5.4 g/kg, sterilized at 90 °C. Apart from common volatiles that were inherent in soymilk and generated from lactic fermentation, 2-methyltetrahydrothiophen-3-one was found for the first time in soybean foods and was found to cause the spoiled odor. 44 volatiles found in thermally sterilized fermented soymilk were jointly formed its flavor wheel. This study provides important theoretical support for solving the problem of spoiled odor restricting the popularization of plant-based fermented soymilk.

Wang X, Kong X, Zhang C, Hua Y, Chen Y, Li X. Comparison of physicochemical properties and volatile flavor compounds of plant-based yoghurt and dairy yoghurt. Food Res Int 2023; 164:112375. [PMID: 36738019 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2022.112375] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate and compare the physicochemical characteristics and volatile flavor compounds of three kinds of yoghurt made from reconstituted milk, soy drink and oat drink. The results showed that with the same fermentation ending pH of 4.5, reconstituted yoghurt had the highest titratable acidity mainly due to the highest buffering capacity and microbial counts (LAB). The textural and water holding capacity (WHC) parameters revealed that soy-based yoghurt had the highest firmness, consistency and WHC, indicating more rigid gel was formed. Meanwhile, rheological analysis showed soy-based yoghurt owned higher G' and G'' values and higher stability against external stress, demonstrating that more and stronger interactions between soy proteins were built during fermentation. The confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) image witnessed that soy-based yoghurt had the densest and finest network, while oat-based yoghurt had much coarser and looser structure, which was consistent with the lowest firmness and G' value for oat-based yoghurt. In terms of color, reconstituted yoghurt was the lightest and oat-based yoghurt showed more reddish and yellowish. The main volatile flavor compounds in all yoghurts were ketones, while aldehydes contributed more in soy and oat yoghurt. PCA plot showed that volatile flavor compounds of reconstituted yoghurt and oat-based yoghurt were relatively similar, while soy-based yoghurt was much more different with high OAVs of hexanal, 1-octen-3-one, 1-octen-3-ol and 2-octenal. This study supplied a theoretical basis and an improvement direction for the better development of healthier plant-based yoghurt similar to dairy yoghurt.

Abstract
The dramatic increase in the number of microbe descriptions in databases, reports, and papers presents a two-fold challenge for accessing the information: integration of heterogeneous data in a standard ontology-based representation and normalization of the textual descriptions by semantic analysis. Recent text mining methods offer powerful ways to extract textual information and generate ontology-based representation. This paper describes the design of the Omnicrobe application that gathers comprehensive information on habitats, phenotypes, and usages of microbes from scientific sources of high interest to the microbiology community. The Omnicrobe database contains around 1 million descriptions of microbe properties. These descriptions are created by analyzing and combining six information sources of various kinds, i.e. biological resource catalogs, sequence databases and scientific literature. The microbe properties are indexed by the Ontobiotope ontology and their taxa are indexed by an extended version of the taxonomy maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The Omnicrobe application covers all domains of microbiology. With simple or rich ontology-based queries, it provides easy-to-use support in the resolution of scientific questions related to the habitats, phenotypes, and uses of microbes. We illustrate the potential of Omnicrobe with a use case from the food innovation domain.

The modification of volatile and nonvolatile compounds in lupines and faba beans by substrate modulation and lactic acid fermentation to facilitate their use for legume-based beverages-A review. Compr Rev Food Sci Food Saf 2022; 21:4018-4055.

Abstract
Lupines and faba beans are promising ingredients for the beverage industry. They contain high amounts of protein and can be grown in different climate zones and agricultural areas. Therefore, these legumes appear as ideal raw material for vegan, functional, and sustainable beverages. Nevertheless, the sensory characteristic of legumes is generally not accepted in beverages. Therefore, the market contribution of legume-based beverages is currently only marginal. This review highlights known major flavor aspects of lupines and faba beans and the possibilities to improve these by germination, heat treatment, enzymatic treatment, and subsequent lactic acid fermentation. First, the main aroma and taste compounds are described. Thereby, the "beany" aroma is identified as the most relevant off-flavor. Second, the nutrients and antinutrients of these legumes regarding to their use as food and as substrate for lactic acid fermentation are reviewed, and possibilities to modulate the substrate are summarized. Finally, the modification of the sensory profile by lactic acid fermentation is outlined. To conclude, it seems likely that the nutritional and flavor attributes in legume-based beverages can be improved by a combined process of substrate modulation and fermentation. In a first step, antinutrients should be decomposed and proteins solubilized while transforming the solid grains into a liquid substrate. Due to such substrate modulation, a broader variety of strains could be employed and the fermentation could be based exclusively on their impact on the flavor. By applying the concept of combining a substrate modulation with a subsequent fermentation, the use of legumes in beverages could be facilitated and new products like vegan, protein-rich, refreshing beverages could be marketed.

Abstract
Legume proteins have a promising future in the food industry due to their nutritional, environmental, and economic benefits. However, their application is still limited due to the presence of antinutritional and allergenic compounds, their poor technological properties, and their unpleasant sensory characteristics. Fermentation has been traditionally applied to counteract these inconveniences. At present, lactic acid fermentation of legumes is attracting the attention of researchers and industry in relation to the development of healthier, tasty, and technologically adapted products. Hence, we aimed to review the literature to shed light on the effect of lactic acid fermentation on legume protein composition and on their nutritional, functional, technological, and sensorial properties. The antimicrobial activity of lactic acid bacteria during legume fermentation was also considered. The heterogenicity of raw material composition (flour, concentrate, and isolate), the diversity of lactic acid bacteria (nutriment requirements, metabolic pathways, and enzyme production), and the numerous possible fermenting conditions (temperature, time, oxygen, and additional nutrients) offer an impressive range of possibilities with regard to fermented legume products. Systematic studies are required in order to determine the specific roles of the different factors. The optimal selection of these criteria will allow one to obtain high-quality fermented legume products. Fermentation is an attractive technology for the development of legume-based products that are able to satisfy consumers’ expectations from a nutritional, functional, technological, and sensory point of view.

Abstract
Consumption of soybean-based foods is affected by the flavor of the legume; due to the presence of undesirable compounds called "beany flavors". To solve this problem, the influence of solid state fermentation by lactobacilli on the production of volatile compounds in soybean paste was determined. The volatile's production was measured by gas chromatography. Forty compounds were identified in the different soybean pastes studied. The results showed that fermentation stimulates the production of desirable volatile compounds in foods such as ketones (22-75%) and decreased unpleasant compounds (10-84%).The consumers acceptance study showed that a group of participants (30% approximately) preferred the fermented samples associated with sweet and acid aroma like yogurt. In conclusion, the fermentation positively influences the generation of desirable volatile compounds and completely reduces hexanal in one sample. Therefore, fermentation with the studied strains is a valid strategy to modify the aroma profile of a soybean-based food matrix.

Abstract
Vegetable proteins are in high demand due to current issues surrounding meat consumption and changes in eating habits, but they are still not accepted by consumers due to their strong bitterness, astringent taste, and "beany" off-flavor. This review aimed to give an overview of the "beany" off-flavor and the potential of microorganisms to decrease it. Twenty-six volatile compounds were identified from the literature as contributing to the "beany" off-flavor, and their formation pathways were identified in a legume matrix, pea. Biotechnological ways to improve the flavor by reducing these volatile compounds were then looked over. As aldehydes and ketones are the main type of compounds directly linked to the "beany" off-flavor, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) were focused on. By converting aldehyde and ketones into alcohols or carboxylic acids, these two enzymes have the potential to decrease the off-flavor. The presence of the two enzymes in a selection of microorganisms (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Streptococcus thermophilus, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Gluconobacter suboxydans) was done with a catabolism and a bioinformatical study. Finally, the correlation between the presence of the enzyme and the efficacy to improve the flavor was investigated by comparison with the literature. The presence of ADH and/or ALDH in the strain metabolism seems linked to an odor improvement. Especially, a constitutive enzyme (ADH or ALDH) in the catabolism should give better results, showing that some fermentative types are more inclined to better the flavor. Obligatory fermentative strains, with a constitutive ADH, or acetic acid bacteria, with constitutive ADH and ALDH, show the best results and should be favored to reduce the amount of compounds involved in the "beany" off-flavor and diminish that off-flavor in legume proteins.

Abstract
Food transition requires incorporating more plant-based ingredients in our diet, thus leading to the development of new plant-based products, such as yogurt alternatives (YAs). This study aimed at evaluating the impact of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) cocultures and formulation on the physico-chemical and sensory properties of YAs. YAs were made by emulsifying anhydrous milk fat (AMF) or coconut oil in milk and lupin protein suspensions. The starters used, in mono- and cocultures, were the strains Lactococcus lactis NCDO2125, Enteroccocus faecalis CIRM-BIA2412 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CIRM-BIA1524. Textural properties and metabolites of YAs were evaluated and their sensory properties compared using a sorting task. Some cocultures led to higher firmness, viscosity, and water holding capacity of YAs, compared to monocultures. AMF and a milk:lupin protein ratio of 67:33 gave firmer and more viscous YAs. YAs were sensorially discriminated on the basis of protein ratio and fat type, but not of starters. The cocultures exhibited more diverse functional outputs, such as texturing, production of flavour compounds, proteolysis, when the strains associated in coculture had distinct capacities. Appropriate associations of LAB and formulation offer interesting solutions to improve the perception of YAs, and ultimately, encourage their consumption.

Abstract
Background Streptococcus thermophilus is a Gram-positive bacterium widely used as starter in the dairy industry as well as in many traditional fermented products. In addition to its technological importance, it has also gained interest in recent years as beneficial bacterium due to human health-promoting functionalities. The objective of this study was to inventory the main health-promoting properties of S. thermophilus and to study their intra-species diversity at the genomic and genetic level within a collection of representative strains. Results In this study various health-related functions were analyzed at the genome level from 79 genome sequences of strains isolated over a long time period from diverse products and different geographic locations. While some functions are widely conserved among isolates (e.g., degradation of lactose, folate production) suggesting their central physiological and ecological role for the species, others including the tagatose-6-phosphate pathway involved in the catabolism of galactose, and the production of bioactive peptides and gamma-aminobutyric acid are strain-specific. Most of these strain-specific health-promoting properties seems to have been acquired via horizontal gene transfer events. The genetic basis for the phenotypic diversity between strains for some health related traits have also been investigated. For instance, substitutions in the galK promoter region correlate with the ability of some strains to catabolize galactose via the Leloir pathway. Finally, the low occurrence in S. thermophilus genomes of genes coding for biogenic amine production and antibiotic resistance is also a contributing factor to its safety status. Conclusions The natural intra-species diversity of S. thermophilus, therefore, represents an interesting source for innovation in the field of fermented products enriched for healthy components that can be exploited to improve human health. A better knowledge of the health-promoting properties and their genomic and genetic diversity within the species may facilitate the selection and application of strains for specific biotechnological and human health-promoting purpose. Moreover, by pointing out that a substantial part of its functional potential still defies us, our work opens the way to uncover additional health-related functions through the intra-species diversity exploration of S. thermophilus by comparative genomics approaches.

Abstract
To investigate the bitterness status of asparagus juices during lactic acid fermentation, Limosilactobacillus fermentum Xd, Lacticaseibacillus paracasei Yd, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 5-7-3, and their various combinations were used for single and mixed fermentation of asparagus juices. The fermentation characteristics and variation of the main bitter substances were studied. For the single and cofermented samples, the viable counts, pH value, and acidity were ranged from 8.33-8.65 lg CFU/mL, 3.58-3.86, and 6.29-6.52 g/kg, respectively. By sensory evaluation, the bitterness of every fermented sample was continuously reduced by at least 77% during fermentation, and the corresponding content of total saponins, flavonoids, and 9 bitter amino acids showed varying degrees of declination. These results suggested that it was feasible to develop novel low-bitter asparagus juices fermented by the lactic acid bacteria used in this study.

Abstract
Nutritional dependencies, especially those regarding nitrogen sources, govern numerous microbial positive interactions. As for lactic acid bacteria (LAB), responsible for the sanitary, organoleptic, and health properties of most fermented products, such positive interactions have previously been studied between yogurt bacteria. However, they have never been exploited to create artificial cocultures of LAB that would not necessarily coexist naturally, i.e., from different origins. The objective of this study was to promote LAB positive interactions, based on nitrogen dependencies in cocultures, and to investigate how these interactions affect some functional outputs, e.g., acidification rates, carbohydrate consumption, and volatile-compound production. The strategy was to exploit both proteolytic activities and amino acid auxotrophies of LAB. A chemically defined medium was thus developed to specifically allow the growth of six strains used, three proteolytic and three nonproteolytic. Each of the proteolytic strains, Enterococcus faecalis CIRM-BIA2412, Lactococcus lactis NCDO2125, and CIRM-BIA244, was cocultured with each one of the nonproteolytic LAB strains, L. lactis NCDO2111 and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CIRM-BIA465 and CIRM-BIA1524. Bacterial growth was monitored using compartmented chambers to compare growth in mono- and cocultures. Acidification, carbohydrate consumption, and volatile-compound production were evaluated in direct cocultures. Each proteolytic strain induced different types of interactions: strongly positive interactions, weakly positive interactions, and no interactions were seen with E. faecalis CIRM-BIA2412, L. lactis NCDO2125, and L. lactis CIRM-BIA244, respectively. Strong interactions were associated with higher concentrations of tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine, leucine, isoleucine, and peptides. They led to higher acidification rates, lower pH, higher raffinose utilization, and higher concentrations of five volatile compounds. IMPORTANCE Interactions of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are often studied in association with yeasts or propionibacteria in various fermented food products, and the mechanisms underlying their interactions are being quite well characterized. Concerning interactions between LAB, they have mainly been investigated to test antagonistic interactions. Understanding how they can positively interact could be useful in multiple food-related fields: production of fermented food products with enhanced functional properties or fermentation of new food matrices. This study investigated the exploitation of the proteolytic activity of LAB strains to promote positive interactions between proteolytic and nonproteolytic strains. The results suggest that proteolytic LAB do not equally stimulate nonproteolytic LAB and that the stronger the interactions between LAB are, the more functional outputs we can expect. Thus, this study gives insight into how to create new associations of LAB strains and to guarantee their positive interactions.

Linking Pélardon artisanal goat cheese microbial communities to aroma compounds during cheese-making and ripening. Int J Food Microbiol 2021; 345:109130. [PMID: 33735781 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2021.109130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Revised: 11/27/2020] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Pélardon is an artisanal French raw goat's milk cheese, produced using natural whey as a backslop. The aim of this study was to identify key microbial players involved in the acidification and aroma production of this Protected Designation of Origin cheese. Microbial diversity of samples, collected from the raw milk to 3-month cheese ripening, was determined by culture-dependent (MALDI-TOF analysis of 2877 isolates) and -independent (ITS2 and 16S metabarcoding) approaches and linked to changes in biochemical profiles (volatile compounds and acids). In parallel, potential dominant autochthonous microorganism reservoirs were also investigated by sampling the cheese-factory environment. Complex and increasing microbial diversity was observed by both approaches during ripening although major discrepancies were observed regarding Lactococcus lactis and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei fate. By correlating microbial shifts to biochemical changes, Lactococcus lactis was identified as the main acidifying bacterium, while L. mesenteroides and Geotrichum candidum were prevalent and associated with amino acids catabolism after the acidification step. The three species were dominant in the whey (backslop). In contrast, L. paracasei, Enterococcus faecalis, Penicillium commune and Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, which dominated during ripening, likely originated from the cheese-making environment. All these four species were positively correlated to major volatile compounds responsible for the goaty and earthy Pélardon cheese aroma. Overall, this work highlighted the power of MALDI-TOF and molecular techniques combined with volatilome analyses to dynamically follow and identify microbial communities during cheese-making and successively identify the key-players involved in aroma production and contributing to the typicity of Pélardon cheese.

Abstract
The role of Pediococcus pentosaceus in the gastrointestinne has received considerable attention in recent decades. This study aimed to investigate the effects of the short-term administration of P. pentosaceus on physiological characteristics, inflammation, and intestinal microecology in mice. In this study, 90 male C57BL/6J mice were divided into 15 groups, with 14 groups treated with a daily intragastric administration of different genotypes of P. pentosaceus. After three weeks of intragastric administration P. pentosaceus had a mild effect on mice. It could be seen that different P. pentosaceus strains had different effects on the gut microbiota and intestinal microecology. P. pentosaceus VCQYC5144M12 possessing an Enterolysin A operon may have been harmful, activating the expression of inflammatory factors, while P. pentosaceus DYNDL69M8 consisting of only a pediocin-like operon increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria and increased the content of acetic acid. The presence of various genotypes of bacteriocin may have been the explanation for variations among strains. This may provide theoretical support for further exploring the probiotic effect and patterns of P. pentosaceus.

Abstract
Chrysophyllum albidum Linn (African star apple) is a fruit with extensive nutritional and medicinal benefits. The fruit and kernel in the seed are both edible. Strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were isolated from fermented seeds and assessed for probiotic characteristics. The extracts in both the unfermented and the fermented aqueous extracts from the kernels obtained from the seeds of C. albidum were subjected to analysis using the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. This analysis identified the bioactive compounds present as possible substrate(s) for the associated organisms inducing the fermentation and the resultant biotransformed products formed. Three potential probiotic LAB strains identified as Lactococcus raffinolactis (ProbtA1), Lactococcus lactis (ProbtA2a), and Pediococcus pentosaceus (ProbtA2b) were isolated from the fermented C. albidum seeds. All strains were non hemolytic, which indicated their safety, Probt (A1, A2a, and A2b) grew in an acidic environment (pH 3.5) during the 48-h incubation time, and all three strains grew in 1% bile, and exhibited good hydrophobicity and auto-aggregation properties. Mucin binding proteins was not detected in any strain, and bile salt hydrolase was detected in all the strains. l-lactic acid (28.57%), norharman (5.07%), formyl 7E-hexadecenoate (1.73%), and indole (1.51%) were the four major constituents of the fermented kernel of the C. albidum, while 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (C1, 1.27%), 3,5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2,3-dihydropyran-4-one (C2, 2.90%), indole (C3, 1.31%), norharman (C4, 3.01%), and methyl petroselinate (C5, 4.33%) were the five major constituents of the unfermented kernels. The isolated LAB are safe for consumption. The fermenting process metabolized C1, C2, and C5, which are possible starter cultures for the growth of probiotics. Fermentation is an essential tool for bioengineering molecules in foods into safe and health beneficial products.

Int J Food Microbiol 2020; 335:108903.

Abstract
Societal demand for plant-based foods is increasing. In this context, soya products fermented using lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are appealing because of their potential health and nutritional benefits. The thermophilic LAB Streptococcus thermophilus is an essential starter species in the dairy industry. However, while its physiology is well characterized, little is known about its general metabolic activity or its techno-functional properties when it is grown in soya milk. In this study, S. thermophilus LMD-9 growth, sugar production, and lactic acid production in soya milk versus cow's milk were measured. Additionally, the main metabolic pathways used by the bacterium when growing in soya milk were characterized using a proteomic approach. Streptococcus thermophilus LMD-9 growth decreased soya milk pH, from 7.5 to 4.9, in 5 h. During fermentation, acidification thus occurred in tandem with lactate production and increasing population size (final population: 1.0 × 109 CFU/ml). As growth proceeded, sucrose was consumed, and fructose was produced. The proteomic analysis (LC-MS/MS) of the strain's cytosolic and cell envelope-associated proteins revealed that proteins related to amino acid transport and nitrogen metabolism were the most common among the 328 proteins identified (63/328 = 19.2% of total proteins). The cell-wall protease PrtS was present, and an LMD-9 deletion mutant was constructed by interrupting the prtS gene (STER_RS04165 locus). Acidification levels, growth levels, and final population size were lower in the soya milk cultures when the ΔprtS strain versus the wild-type (wt) strain was used. The SDS-PAGE profile of the soluble proteins in the supernatant indicated that soya milk proteins were less hydrolyzed by the ΔprtS strain than by the wt strain. It was discovered that S. thermophilus can grow in soya milk by consuming sucrose, can hydrolyze soya proteins, and can produce acidification levels comparable to those in cow's milk. This study comprehensively examined the proteomics of S. thermophilus grown in soya milk and demonstrated that the cell-wall protease PrtS is involved in the LAB's growth in soya milk and in the proteolysis of soya proteins, which are two novel findings. These results clarify how S. thermophilus adapts to soya milk and can help inform efforts to develop new fermented plant-based foods with better-characterized biochemical and microbiological traits.

Differential Adaptation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii CIRM-BIA129 to Cow's Milk Versus Soymilk Environments Modulates Its Stress Tolerance and Proteome. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:549027. [PMID: 33335514 PMCID: PMC7736159 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2020.549027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Propionibacterium freudenreichii is a beneficial bacterium that modulates the gut microbiota, motility and inflammation. It is traditionally consumed within various fermented dairy products. Changes to consumer habits in the context of food transition are, however, driving the demand for non-dairy fermented foods, resulting in a considerable development of plant-based fermented products that require greater scientific knowledge. Fermented soymilks, in particular, offer an alternative source of live probiotics. While the adaptation of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) to such vegetable substrates is well documented, little is known about that of propionibacteria. We therefore investigated the adaptation of Propionibacterium freudenreichii to soymilk by comparison to cow's milk. P. freudenreichii grew in cow's milk but not in soymilk, but it did grow in soymilk when co-cultured with the lactic acid bacterium Lactobacillus plantarum. When grown in soymilk ultrafiltrate (SUF, the aqueous phase of soymilk), P. freudenreichii cells appeared thinner and rectangular-shaped, while they were thicker and more rounded in cow's milk utltrafiltrate (MUF, the aqueous phase of cow milk). The amount of extractable surface proteins (SlpA, SlpB, SlpD, SlpE) was furthermore reduced in SUF, when compared to MUF. This included the SlpB protein, previously shown to modulate adhesion and immunomodulation in P. freudenreichii. Tolerance toward an acid and toward a bile salts challenge were enhanced in SUF. By contrast, tolerance toward an oxidative and a thermal challenge were enhanced in MUF. A whole-cell proteomic approach further identified differential expression of 35 proteins involved in amino acid transport and metabolism (including amino acid dehydrogenase, amino acid transporter), 32 proteins involved in carbohydrate transport and metabolism (including glycosyltransferase, PTS), indicating metabolic adaptation to the substrate. The culture medium also modulated the amount of stress proteins involved in stress remediation: GroEL, OpuCA, CysK, DnaJ, GrpE, in line with the modulation of stress tolerance. Changing the fermented substrate may thus significantly affect the fermentative and probiotic properties of dairy propionibacteria. This needs to be considered when developing new fermented functional foods.

Deciphering Microbial Community Dynamics and Biochemical Changes During Nyons Black Olive Natural Fermentations. Front Microbiol 2020; 11:586614.

Abstract
French PDO Nyons black table olives are produced according to a traditional slow spontaneous fermentation in brine. The manufacture and unique sensorial properties of these olives thus only rely on the autochthonous complex microbiota. This study aimed at unraveling the microbial communities and dynamics of Nyons olives during a 1.5-year-long spontaneous fermentation to determine the main microbial drivers and link microbial species to key metabolites. Fermentations were monitored at a local producer plant at regular time intervals for two harvests and two olive types (organically and conventionally grown) using culture-dependent and metabarcoding (ITS2 for fungi, V3-V4 region for bacteria) approaches. Olives and brines were also sampled for volatiles, organic acids and phenolic compounds. No major differences in microbiota composition were observed according to olive type or harvest period. Throughout the fermentation, yeasts were clearly the most dominant. ITS2 sequencing data revealed complex fungal diversity dominated by Citeromyces nyonsensis, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Zygotorulaspora mrakii, Candida boidinii and Pichia membranifaciens species. Bacterial communities were dominated by the Celerinatantimonas genus, while lactic acid bacteria remained scarce. Clear shifts in microbial communities and biochemical profiles were observed during fermentation and, by correlating metabolites and microbiota changes, four different phases were distinguished. During the first 7 days, phase I, a fast decrease of filamentous fungal and bacterial populations was observed. Between days 21 and 120, phase II, W. anomalus and C. nyonsensis for fungi and Celerinatantimonas diazotrophica for bacteria dominated the fermentation and were linked to the pH decrease and citric acid production. Phase III, between 120 and 183 days, was characterized by an increase in acids and esters and correlated to increased abundances of Z. mrakii, P. membranifaciens and C. boidinii. During the last months of fermentation, phase IV, microbial communities were dominated by P. membranifaciens and C. boidinii. Both species were strongly correlated to an increase in fruity esters and alcohol abundances. Overall, this study provides an in-depth understanding about microbial species succession and how the microbiota shapes the final distinct olive characteristics. It also constitutes a first step to identify key drivers of this fermentation.
