Exploring the Relationships Between Bacterial Community, Taste-Enhancing Peptides and Aroma in Thai Fermented Fish ().

As a traditional Thai condiment, is used to add flavor and richness to dishes. Nine treatment combinations of formulations created from 3 types of fish (Mor fish, Kradee fish, and Mor + Kradee fish) and 4 different carbohydrate sources (none, rice bran, roasted rice, and rice bran─roasted rice mixture) were studied through a 12 month fermentation period (1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 months). 16S rRNA Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and LC-MS/MS techniques were used to analyze the microbial diversity and identify taste-enhancing peptides.

Investigation of Kokumi Substances and Bacteria in Thai Fermented Freshwater Fish (Pla-ra).

A 16S rRNA next-generation sequencing technique was applied to investigate the microbial diversity and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify glutamyl peptide profiles of 10 Thai fermented freshwater fish (Pla-ra) samples. A total of 12 genera of bacteria were able to be detected, with spp., spp.
