A combination of 16S rDNA and GC-IMS was used to study the changes in the composition of microorganisms and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the storage of northeastern Chinese soybean paste. Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota dominated the microbial communities of the soybean paste at the phylum level, bacterial profiles of different samples were different at genus level. Fifty-one VOCs were identified from soybean paste, most of which existed in the early storage stage. Most esters and alcohols decreased with the extension of the storage time, while acids and pyrazines accumulated in the later period of storage. Esters, alcohols, acids and aldehyde compounds are the key substances in the volatile components of soybean paste, which give the soybean paste the sour, sweet, rose, mushroom and smoky flavor characteristics. The biomarker Bacillus-velezensis in soybean paste is directly related to ester features; Kroppenstedtia, Sporolactobacillus-nakayamae, and Corynebacterium-stationis are positively associated with the biosynthesis of aldehydes.

Consumer perceptions of 'traditional doenjang' using a free word association test.

J Sci Food Agric

January 2025

Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition and K-Food Research Center, Jeonbuk National University, Jeonbuk, Korea.

Background: Doenjang (fermented soybean paste) is a traditional Korean ingredient that has long been part of Korean cuisine. Commercial, mass-produced doenjang products are prevalent in the Korean market, and consumer demand for traditionally produced doenjang is steadily decreasing. An understanding of consumers' perceptions of traditional doenjang can serve as a foundation for sales and marketing strategies that are informed by consumer insights.

This study investigated the effects of fermented food consumption on the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) related to processed meat intake using a mouse model. Processed meat products and fermented foods were supplemented to analyze heterocyclic amines (HCA) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and the gut microbiota in mice. The study determined age to be a non-influential factor.

Variation in heat resistance and biofilm formation of Bacillus cereus spores in various fermented soybean foods.

Int J Food Microbiol

January 2025

Department of Food and Biotechnology, Korea University, Sejong 30019, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

This study investigated the heat resistance of Bacillus cereus spores (as well as spores in intact biofilm) in two types of Korean fermented soybean foods and presumed the potential key parameters (physicochemical and nutritional properties) associated with their heat resistance. For example, the D-values of B. cereus ATCC 10987 and CH3 spores with strong heat resistance and prolific biofilm-forming capability were compared in various Jjigae-type (Cheonggukjang jjigae, Doenjang jjigae, and Gochujang jjigae) and Jang-type (Cheonggukjang, Doenjang, and Gochujang) foods commonly consumed in Korea.
