- Abstract
- To investigate the fermentative characteristics of Bacillus and lactic acid bacteria, the key microbes known to be involved in doenjang-meju (a Korean traditional fermented soybean brick) fermentation, we prepared and analyzed two sets of doenjang-meju inoculated with either Aspergillus oryzae and Bacillus velezensis (BDM) or A. oryzae and Leuconostoc mesenteroides (LDM). A large decrease in pH was observed during the early fermentation period in LDM, whereas the pH remained relatively constant in BDM. Although observed in higher levels in BDM during the early fermentation period, free sugar and amino acid contents and Aspergillus abundance were higher in LDM thereafter, which aligned with α-amylase and protease activity profiles in LDM and BDM, suggesting their association with Aspergillus. Higher levels of isoflavone aglycones and glycerol along with greater β-glucosidase and lipase activities in LDM and BDM, respectively, were suggestive of the characteristics of Leuconostoc and Bacillus, respectively. More diverse and higher amounts of volatile compounds were observed in BDM than in LDM. The α-amylase, lipase, protease, β-glucosidase, and antimicrobial activities of A. oryzae, B. velezensis, and L. mesenteroides were examined through genomic analyses and in vitro assays, which well supported the results of their fermentative characteristics in LDM and BDM. © 2022 Elsevier Ltd
