Abstract
This study aims to characterize lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in pickles and investigate the effect of lactic acid fermentation on phenolic compounds in peony flowers. Six strains of Lactobacillus plantarum and one strain of Weissella identified by 16S rRNA sequencing met the safety standards confirmed by metabolite safety assessment and antibiotic resistance analysis. NPLP12 exhibited excellent fermentation characteristics and its tolerance, adhesion, and antioxidant indicators all demonstrated its potential as probiotics and starter. After fermentation with NPLP12, the content of total phenols (15.2 %) and flavonoids (22.7 %) in the liquid extract of peony flowers was significantly increased, and the antioxidant activity was also enhanced. Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis confirmed that apigenin 7-O-glucoside and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside were key synergistic components. This study provides a reference for the screening of peony flower fermentation strains, the utilization of peony flower resources and the development of functional peony flower fermented beverages.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
