Zhenjiang vinegar, the grains of which contain a unique microbial flora, is one of the four famous traditional Chinese vinegars. We investigated the components of Zhenjiang vinegar grains. Unique acetic acid bacteria were randomly isolated from Zhenjiang vinegar grains, and the obtained strains were qualitatively analyzed to compare their capacities for acetate decomposition and acid production. Acetic acid bacteria with a high acid-producing rate were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, and further confirmation was performed using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool comparison method. Six significant strains of acetic acid bacteria were isolated. Qualitative analysis showed that these strains produced no brown precipitate and had a capacity for acetate decomposition. Based on physiological and biochemical evaluation, the two strains with the highest acid yield were sequenced, and the results identified strain W1 as Acetobacter aceti and strain W6 as A. pasteurianus.

Developing a pragmatic pattern for timely learning crop growth information is significant in promoting high-quality agricultural production. Herein, an electrochemical sensing mode is designed for in-situ monitoring plant hormone (indole acetic acid as a typical example). To simplify the available electrochemical procedure with separate division of sensing interface decoration and liquid electrolyte addition, a bi-functional electrolyte, with superior quality of electron conduction and ion mass transfer, is built by exploiting the excellent conductivity of carbon-based nanostructures and the dynamic redox cycle between phenols and metal ions, endowed with the integration between conductive medium and semi-solid electrolyte.

Acetic acid bacteria (AAB) play a pivotal role in the food fermentation industry, especially in vinegar production, due to their ability to partially oxidize alcohols to acetic acid. However, economic bioproduction using AAB is challenged by harsh environments during acetic acid fermentation, among which initial ethanol pressure, subsequent acetic acid pressure, and consistently high temperatures are common experiences. Understanding the stress-responsive mechanisms is essential to developing robust AAB strains.

Both oat β-glucans (OGs) and their hydrolyzed counterparts, oat β-gluco-oligosaccharides (OGOs), are dietary fibers indigestible by humans. They serve as substrates for the colonic intestinal flora, exhibiting potential prebiotic properties. This study, through in vitro digestion simulation, found that OGs and OGOs are not degraded and can safely pass through the upper digestive tract to reach the colon.

In order to address the issue of low amino acid retention in the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) through hydrothermal pretreatment at high temperatures, a novel approach combining low temperature acid hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis was employed. This innovative method not only allows for the production of amino acid-rich XOS, but also yields a valuable byproduct known as humic-like acid (HLA) from vinegar residue (VR). Under the optimal pretreatment conditions (89 °C, 6 h, 1.

Lactic acid bacteria fermentation is a beneficial bioprocessing method that can improve the flavor, transform nutrients, and maintain the biological activity of foods. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of dy-1 fermentation on the nutritional components, flavor and taste properties, and composition of saponin compounds and their hypolipidemic and antioxidant activities. The results suggested that the total polyphenol content increased, and the soluble polysaccharides and total saponin contents decreased in fermented bitter melon juice (FJ) compared with those in non-fermented bitter melon juice (NFJ).
