Abstract
In this study, we used compound fungal bran koji to enhance the fermentation of Sichuan bran cupi. Analysis of the microbial composition of cupei showed that Aspergillus, Saccharomyces, Wickerhamomyces, Rhizopus, Lactobacillus, and Acetobacter are the primary genera involved in fermentation. The addition of enriched Qu (BQF) for intensive fermentation increased the relative abundance of Wickerhamomyces and Rhizopus during the initial and mid-stages of fermentation while influencing the dynamics of Aspergillus, Lactobacillus, Acetobacter, and other genera. Compared to the BQ group (control group), the BQF group demonstrated a 5.32 % increase in total acid content, 9.23 % improvement in starch usage, and 14.74 % increase in total ester content. Furthermore, the flavor compounds, including esters, alcohols, and acids, in the cooked vinegar of the BQF group increased by 49.89 %, 1.02 % and 16.13 %, respectively. These results were consistent with the sensory evaluation. These findings demonstrate that Qu significantly improved the flavor of bran vinegar.
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.
