Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the effect of inoculating Staphylococcus xylosus and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on in-bag dry-aged beef. The volatile compounds and odors of the beef were analyzed through gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS) and electronic nose (E-nose), respectively. The results showed that the inoculation with both species significantly inhibited the growth of spoilage microorganisms (P < 0.05). The PLS-DA models indicated that the inoculation significantly affected the flavor. Thirty-six key flavor compounds were detected, with aldehydes representing the largest proportion. Off-flavor compounds were also detected, and they exhibited a significant positive correlation with the spoilage microorganisms. Therefore, the inoculation effectively inhibited off-flavor formation by enhancing microbial quality, and Staphylococcus xylosus produced more flavor compounds. In addition, both species inhibited protein oxidation and the generation of volatile base nitrogen, which were beneficial for the flavor development. This study provides valuable information for improving the quality of in-bag dry-aged beef.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Food Microbiology publishes papers dealing with all aspects of food microbiology. Articles must present information that is novel, has high impact and interest, and is of high scientific quality. They should provide scientific or technological advancement in the specific field of interest of the journal and enhance its strong international reputation. Preliminary or confirmatory results as well as contributions not strictly related to food microbiology will not be considered for publication.
