Abstract
The interactions between pork microbial communities and metabolites in modified atmosphere packaged (MAP) storage remain unclear. This study exposed the core microbial communities and metabolite profiles during refrigerated pork storage under MAP and illuminated the relationship between them by high-throughput sequencing and non-targeted metabolomics to comprehend the spoilage mechanism induced by microbial activity in MAP pork during storage. The results showed that Pseudomonas and Serratia were the predominant spoilage bacteria in the preliminary stages of refrigerated pork, while Brochothrix gradually dominated in the final stages of storage. 76 differential metabolites were identified from 822 metabolites, consisting of small-molecule metabolites including glycerophospholipids, bitter amino acids, amines, and nucleotides. The metabolic pathways involved in these metabolites were 10 metabolic pathways inclusive of purine metabolism, nucleotide metabolism, and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Correlation results revealed that bacterial genera like Pseudomonas, Brochothrix, Stenotrophomonas, Acinetobacter, and Aeromonas were significantly correlated with metabolites such as lipids, organic acids and nucleotides. These findings enhance our understanding of the spoilage mechanism of refrigerated pork stored in MAP.
