Abstract
This study proposes a sustainable approach using fungi (Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus niger) and mackerel offal for fermentation to enhance flavor development in waste. By combining free amino acid analysis, e-nose, e-tongue, GC-IMS, and metabolomics, we revealed the metabolic pathways of dominant fungi in producing flavor substances through fish offal degradation. The approach significantly increased fresh and sweet amino acids in fish sauce. E-nose and e-tongue detected flavor and taste variations, while GC-IMS identified 56 volatiles, with aldehydes, alcohols, and ketones as main contributors. Metabolite and pathway analysis showed that branched-chain amino acid, galactose and pentose phosphate metabolisms were key to flavor variations. This eco-friendly model offers a theoretical basis for microbial regulation in waste resource management.
期刊介绍:
Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies (IFSET) aims to provide the highest quality original contributions and few, mainly upon invitation, reviews on and highly innovative developments in food science and emerging food process technologies. The significance of the results either for the science community or for industrial R&D groups must be specified. Papers submitted must be of highest scientific quality and only those advancing current scientific knowledge and understanding or with technical relevance will be considered.
