Abstract
Compound fermented seasonings were increasingly favored by consumers. This study using Aspergillus oryzae and soybeans as raw materials to make koji. Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus were used as starters for common fermentation with mature koji and beef to obtain a fermented beef-soybean paste. The physicochemical parameters, volatile flavor compounds, and microbial community of beef-soybean paste during fermentation were determined, and the relationship between flavor changes and microbial community changes was analyzed. Compared to the soybean paste, the addition of beef for fermentation can significantly enhanced the content of protein, amino acid nitrogen, and free amino acids in the compound fermented soybean paste, improved the nutritional and health value of the product. The addition of beef also caused a decrease in pH and total acid content in the compound soybean paste. The flavor changed during the fermentation process of beef-soybean paste were related to the changed in its microbial community.
期刊介绍:
The FSB journal covers food chemistry and analysis for compositional and physiological activity changes, food hygiene and toxicology, food microbiology and biotechnology, and food engineering involved in during and after food processing through physical, chemical, and biological ways. Consumer perception and sensory evaluation on processed foods are accepted only when they are relevant to the laboratory research work. As a general rule, manuscripts dealing with analysis and efficacy of extracts from natural resources prior to the processing or without any related food processing may not be considered within the scope of the journal. The FSB journal does not deal with only local interest and a lack of significant scientific merit. The main scope of our journal is seeking for human health and wellness through constructive works and new findings in food science and biotechnology field.
