In this study, fresh cheeses produced with four novel probiotics (Lactobacillus casei PB-LC39, Lactobacillus rhamnosus PB-LR76, Lactobacillus helveticus HH-LH17, and Lactobacillus plantarum HH-LP56) were named as LC, LR, LH, and LP, respectively. SPME-GC-MS and untargeted metabolomics were used to compare and analyze the flavor quality, metabolites and metabolic pathways of LC, LR, LH and LP, and the potential function of differential metabolites was emphasized. The results demonstrated that the incorporation of probiotics resulted in a significant increase in the number of volatile flavor compounds and varying flavor profiles within the cheese.

In this study, four types of phospholipids, milk phospholipids (MPLs), soybean phospholipids (SBPLs), sunflower phospholipids (SFPLs), and egg yolk phospholipids (EYPLs), were added to infant formula to investigate their physicochemical properties, microstructure, and surface characteristics. MPLs uniquely offer high sphingomyelin and saturated fatty acid levels.

To simplify the analysis steps and improve detection efficiency, this study developed monosaccharide compositions and glycosidic linkages detection methods based on UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS, and established a plant polysaccharide glycosidic linkages library. Furthermore, the detailed analysis process of monosaccharide compositions and glycosidic linkages was presented through a plant polysaccharide (Chinese bayberry wine polysaccharide, CPW) example.
