During alcoholic fermentation, a considerable amount of carbon dioxide (CO) is produced, and the stream of CO can strip aromatic substances from the fermenting must. Aroma losses during fermentation can be significant and may lead to a reduction in wine quality. This study is focused on new fermentation gas capture technology. In the experiment, gas was captured during the fermentation of sauvignon blanc must. The concentration of individual volatile compounds in the fermentation gas was determined using gas chromatography, and the highest values were achieved by isoamyl acetate, isoamyl alcohol and ethyl decanoate. Ethyl dodecanoate achieved the lowest values of the investigated volatile substances. For sensory assessment, quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) compared water carbonated with fermentation gas and water carbonated with commercial carbon dioxide for food purposes. Based on the results of this study, it can be concluded that the captured gas containing positive aromatic substances is suitable for the production of carbonated drinks in the food industry.

The fermentation process in alcoholic beverage production converts sugars into ethanol and CO, releasing significant amounts of greenhouse gases. Here, Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 was grown autotrophically using gas derived from alcoholic fermentation, using a fed-batch bottle system. Nutrient starvation was applied to induce intracellular accumulation of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), a bioplastic polymer, for bioconversion of CO-rich waste gas into PHB.

The relationship between the gut microbiota (GM) and the health of human beings has been a topic of growing interest in the last few years. Legumes are a rich source of indigestible carbohydrates, including resistant starch (RS), which are substrates of the GM. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the indigestible fraction of legumes on the fecal microbiota of normal-weight (NW) and obese (O) donors.

Using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) and headspace solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to investigate microbial diversity and volatile compound profiles at different fermentation stages. Spearman correlation analysis was employed to identify potential associations between microbial genera and flavor compounds.

The effect of SH4, a typical aroma enhancer, on flavor formation of the dry fermented sausage was investigated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that inoculation with SH4 promoted volatile compound formation from carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism and accelerated ester synthesis. The enzymes, genes, and microorganisms involved in the formation pathway of volatile compounds based on microbial metabolism were predicted and constructed into a metabolic pathway network.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of different storage times of the mixed inoculum on in vitro rumen fermentation characteristics, microbial diversity, and community composition. The experiment was divided into five groups, with mixed inoculum composed of fresh rumen fluid and culture medium being stored at 39 °C for 0 h (H0), 12 h (H12), 24 h (H24), 36 h (H36), and 48 h (H48). After 48 h of in vitro fermentation, the fermentation fluid was collected to assess rumen fermentation characteristics and microbial community composition.
