Fermented Chinese Artichoke, a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable, has a distinctive flavor profile shaped by its fermentation process. This study applied flavoromics, metagenomics, and untargeted metabolomics to comprehensively analyze flavor compounds, microbial communities, and metabolic transformations during fermentation. We identified 43 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), with Terpineol, 1-Hexanol, and Linalool as the predominant components. Metagenomic analysis highlighted Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Priestia megaterium, and Pediococcus pentosaceus as the dominant species, while Lactiplantibacillus, Pediococcus, and Bacillus were key in flavor development. Untargeted metabolomics further revealed increases in organic acids, amino acids, and umami compounds, contributing to flavor enhancement. These findings offer valuable insights into flavor formation mechanisms in Fermented Chinese Artichoke and provide guidance for improving its industrial fermentation quality.
腌渍菊芋,一种中国传统发酵蔬菜,具有由其发酵过程塑造的独特风味特征。本研究应用风味组学、宏基因组学和非靶向代谢组学全面分析发酵过程中的风味化合物、微生物群落和代谢转化。我们鉴定出43种挥发性有机化合物(VOCs),其中松油醇、1-己醇和芳樟醇为主要成分。宏基因组分析突出显示植物乳杆菌、巨大芽孢杆菌和戊糖片球菌为优势菌种,而乳杆菌属、片球菌属和芽孢杆菌属在风味形成中起关键作用。非靶向代谢组学进一步揭示了有机酸、氨基酸和鲜味化合物的增加,有助于风味增强。这些发现为腌渍菊芋的风味形成机制提供了有价值的见解,并为提高其工业发酵质量提供了指导。
