Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of microbial (Monascus anka) fermentation on the volatile flavor compounds (VFCs), free amino acids (FAAs) and free fatty acids (FFAs) in oats (Avena sativa L.). The key volatile components were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS technique combined with multivariate analysis. 55 VFCs in unfermented oats (UFO) and 82 VFCs in solid-state fermented oats (SSFO) were detected. Moreover, 8 key volatile compounds in UFO and 11 key volatile compounds in SSFO with OAV>1 were identified respectively, of which esters and terpenes could be used as potential volatile flavor markers to distinguish UFO and SSFO. The proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (dominated by linoleic acid and linolenic acid) increased 14.76 % in SSFO, compared in UFO. Fermentation significantly increased the FAAs content in SSFO, which was 18.18 times higher than that of UFO. Interestingly, FAAs and FFAs were closely (r2 > 0.97, p < 0.01) related to the VFCs in SSFO. Therefore, microbial fermentation changed the types and contents of VFCs and non-VFCs in oats, which enriched a special flavor of functional oat-foods.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cereal Science was established in 1983 to provide an International forum for the publication of original research papers of high standing covering all aspects of cereal science related to the functional and nutritional quality of cereal grains (true cereals - members of the Poaceae family and starchy pseudocereals - members of the Amaranthaceae, Chenopodiaceae and Polygonaceae families) and their products, in relation to the cereals used. The journal also publishes concise and critical review articles appraising the status and future directions of specific areas of cereal science and short communications that present news of important advances in research. The journal aims at topicality and at providing comprehensive coverage of progress in the field.
