Abstract

Alcoholic fermentation is an essential step in producing high-quality vinegar and typically involves the use of pure yeast to initiate fermentation. In this study, two kinds of citrus vinegars were prepared with a pure culture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mixed cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum, respectively. During the alcoholic-fermentation stage, the contents of formic, lactic, and total organic acids were higher in the mixed cultures than in the pure culture. Mixed cultures citrus vinegar (MCCV) showed higher antioxidant activity than pure culture citrus vinegar (PCCV). The contents of sweet and umami free amino acids in MCCV were higher than those in PCCV. Meanwhile, flavor groups such as esters, alcohols, and aldehydes in MCCV also significantly improved. According to sensory analysis, MCCV showed higher intensity for sweet and umami attributes, as well as flowery and fruity attributes. Thus, mixed cultures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lactobacillus plantarum in alcoholic fermentation can effectively improve the flavor and quality of citrus vinegar, thereby indicating additional economic benefits of fermentation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
