Background: Traditional fish sauce products rely on relatively long fermentation time and high salt concentration, resulting in inconsistent quality and health risks. Branched-chain fatty acids (BCFAs) are associated with nutritional benefits and health-care effects, mainly derived from food fermentation. This study aimed to screen BCFAs-producing bacteria with high protease and aminotransferase activity as starter cultures for fish sauce fermentation.
Results: The low-salt fish sauce products were obtained by co-fermentation with three chosen strains. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-soluble peptides and amino acid nitrogen concentrations were higher in the co-fermentation group (FH group). The organoleptic evaluation showed co-fermentation optimized flavor composition and endured with rich taste. The levels of BCFAs and branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) significantly increased by co-fermentation. Volatile metabolomics analysis indicated that BCFAs, branched-chain esters, and pyrazines were the key flavor compounds in the co-fermented group.
Conclusion: The co-fermentation system with selected strains to ferment low-salt fish sauce has the potential to increase BCFA content and improve flavor and nutrition. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Purpose: Provision of nutrition information is mandated for packaged foods, but few countries regulate serving sizes. Our objective was to develop a methodology to establish globally consistent portion size recommendations for both nutrient-dense and discretionary foods.
Methods: A stepwise systematic approach incorporated portion values from serving size regulations (n = 10), food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG; n = 90, aggregated into 6 regions), and reported food intakes from Europe and Australia.

In this study, we first verified the feasibility of using Antarctic krill as a raw material for quick-brewed fish sauce, and the results showed that the amino acid nitrogen (AAN)and total soluble nitrogen(TSN) in the fermented 30 days fish sauce met the national level fish sauce standards, but the histamine content exceeded the maximum limit value of histamine in fish sauce (400 mg/kg) set by the International Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) and the European Union (EU). On this basis, the correlation between physicochemical indexes and bacterial communities during the fermentation of fish sauce was investigated using high-throughput sequencing, culture method. The correlation analyses revealed the relationship between bacterial communities and the quality and safety of fish sauce, and these studies will be helpful for the development of Antarctic krill fish sauce.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on analyzing the safety and quality of fish sauce made from fermented anchovies from Salerno, Italy, by examining levels of heavy metals and histamine during different production methods.
- - Researchers measured heavy metals (cadmium, lead, mercury) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in raw and processed anchovies, with findings showing all levels were below safe limits as set by European legislation.
- - Histamine levels were also assessed, indicating that while the highest concentrations appeared in certain stages, they remained compliant with regulatory standards, emphasizing the necessity of selecting quality raw materials and monitoring production processes.

The application of low-salt fish sauce is limited by its tendency to spoil easily and inadequate flavor generation. Herein, a salt-tolerant Tetragenococcus halophilus 2MH-3 strain with strong abilities of enzyme production and biogenic amine degradation was utilized as a starter for the production of low-salt fish sauce. Bacterial community analysis revealed discrepancies in microbiota between low-salt fish sauces fermented with (Th group) or without 2MH-3 (LF group).

This study investigated the physicochemical properties influencing the sensory characteristics of long-term aged ganjang. Eight ganjang samples aged 3, 10, and 15 years were obtained from three different manufacturers and analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, sensory profiles, and consumer acceptability. The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, and crude fat), total solids, salinity, acidity, pH, color (L, a, b, chrome, and hue), 27 free amino acids (FAAs), and volatile compounds were analyzed.
