The presence of bacteria in salted anchovies during and at the end of the curing process was investigated. Attempts to isolate bacteria under aerobic or anaerobic conditions led to the isolation of only bacteria of the genus Pediococcus which were identified as Pediococcus halophilus. The isolates correspond to a rather heterogeneous group in which some of the members differ in some biochemical tests from the types described in the literature.

Freshwater fish processing produces 30-70% nutrient-rich by-products, often discarded or undervalued. Grass carp by-products, rich in protein, offer potential as raw materials for fermented seasonings. This study explores the use of these by-products-specifically, minced fish and fish skin-in soybean fermentation to evaluate their effects on the quality of the resulting seasonings.

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 various strategies: mono-, simultaneous and sequential fermentation of halophilic Candida versatilis and Tetragenococcus halophilus to valorize salted whey, a side stream of salted tofu (pressed beancurd) production, with an ultimate goal of creating a soy sauce-like condiment. Growth, glucose, organic acids were monitored throughout fermentation, while free amino acids and volatile compounds were analyzed on the final days. In monoculture fermentation, both C.

In soy sauce brewing, the halophilic lactic acid bacterium, Tetragenococcus halophilus is used as a fermentation starter and contributes to the taste and aroma of soy sauce, mainly by producing lactate. By lowering the pH of the soy sauce mash, lactate serves as a suitable growth environment for the halotolerant yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii. Acetate, which is produced by T.

Article Synopsis
  • A study analyzed the microbiome and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soy sauce moromi during fermentation and aging, revealing a diverse bacterial community initially dominated by Staphylococcus and Bacillus before transitioning to Tetragenococcus.
  • The fungal community was initially simple, primarily consisting of Aspergillus, but became more diverse after the addition of Zygosaccharomyces rouxii on day 42, introducing new dominant species.
  • The VOC profile evolved significantly during fermentation, with certain fungi showing positive correlations to the production of alcohols, esters, and phenols, suggesting their important role in developing the complex aroma of soy sauce.
