Abstract
The present study analysed the sensory quality and fungal community structure of three color types of high-temperature Daqu (HTD) produced in Qingzhou using electronic nose, electronic tongue, and high-throughput sequencing technology. The data were compared to the fungal data obtained from HTD produced in Xiangyang via the "partitioning around medoids" (PAM) clustering algorithm. PAM analysis indicated that all HTD samples from the two regions could be divided into two clusters. Cluster I samples were mainly characterized by Thermomyces, and cluster II samples were mainly characterized by Aspergillus and Thermoascus. Cooccurrence network analysis revealed that the correlations between fungal communities were stronger in the HTD dominated by Aspergillus and Thermoascus. The identification of key species and core operational taxonomic units demonstrated that the differences in the fungal community structure between the two HTD clusters were related to the abundance of certain fungal groups. Correlation analysis between fungal genera and sensory quality parameters showed that Thermomyces-dominated HTD had lower aftertaste-A, aftertaste-B, and organic sulfide and terpene content but a higher richness of flavor. Meanwhile, HTD dominated by Aspergillus and Thermoascus exhibited the opposite traits, and its sourness was relatively higher.
期刊介绍:
FEMS Microbiology Letters gives priority to concise papers that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution to new developments in microbiology. All aspects of microbiology, including virology, are covered.
2019 Impact Factor: 1.987, Journal Citation Reports (Source Clarivate, 2020)
Ranking: 98/135 (Microbiology)
The journal is divided into eight Sections:
Physiology and Biochemistry (including genetics, molecular biology and ‘omic’ studies)
Food Microbiology (from food production and biotechnology to spoilage and food borne pathogens)
Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
Pathogens and Pathogenicity (including medical, veterinary, plant and insect pathogens – particularly those relating to food security – with the exception of viruses)
Environmental Microbiology (including ecophysiology, ecogenomics and meta-omic studies)
Virology (viruses infecting any organism, including Bacteria and Archaea)
Taxonomy and Systematics (for publication of novel taxa, taxonomic reclassifications and reviews of a taxonomic nature)
Professional Development (including education, training, CPD, research assessment frameworks, research and publication metrics, best-practice, careers and history of microbiology)
If you are unsure which Section is most appropriate for your manuscript, for example in the case of transdisciplinary studies, we recommend that you contact the Editor-In-Chief by email prior to submission. Our scope includes any type of microorganism - all members of the Bacteria and the Archaea and microbial members of the Eukarya (yeasts, filamentous fungi, microbial algae, protozoa, oomycetes, myxomycetes, etc.) as well as all viruses.
