Example 3: determination of quantities of Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 and ZQ-01
In order to confirm that Weissella mesenteroides and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii can be enhanced by adding strains during soy sauce fermentation, a plate counting method is adopted for measuring the quantity of Weissella mesenteroides and yeast. Weighing 1g of fresh soy sauce mash or co-culture bacteria liquid, pouring into a conical flask containing sterilized glass beads and 99mL of physiological saline, mixing uniformly, and diluting in a gradient manner (respectively diluting to 10)-1、10-2、10-3、10-4、10-5、10-6) Diluted and spread on MRS medium and Bengal medium, and cultured at 37 ℃ for 1 day, and counted. Weissella mesenteroides is facultative anaerobe, and bacterial colony appears in plate culture for 1-2 days. The predominant salt-tolerant bacteria in the sauce mash is the halophilic tetragenococcus, and bacterial colonies appear after 4-6 days of plate culture. Therefore, the MRS plate can be used for mixing sauce during countingDominant salt-tolerant bacteria (including Weissella, Bacillus, Staphylococcus) in mash. The yeast amount calculated by the method comprises the added zygosaccharomyces rouxii and salt-tolerant yeast (such as torulopsis, candida and the like) in the sauce mash. The latter are less numerous and negligible compared to the former.
The result shows that the addition of Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 can increase the number of Weissella mesenteroides in the sauce mash by 1.9-3.0 orders of magnitude compared with the Weissella mesenteroides contrast which is not added, and the maximum value reaches 1.0 multiplied by 108CFU·g-1Gradually decreases in the later stage and stabilizes at 1.0 × 107CFU·g-1. Therefore, the addition of Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 can increase the concentration of the Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 in the soy sauce fermentation process and strengthen the strain (figure 1).
Example 4: the reinforced influence of Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 and ZQ-01 on the physicochemical indexes of the soy sauce mash sample
The moromi of example 1 was sampled on days 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40. Taking 100g of sauce mash in a centrifuge tube, and carrying out 12000 r.min-1Centrifuging for 30min, collecting supernatant, and filtering with filter membrane with pore diameter of 0.22 μm for physicochemical index determination. The pH of the soy sauce mash is directly measured by a precise pH meter. The total acid content was determined by acidimetry. The content of amino acid nitrogen is measured by adopting a formaldehyde titration method. The content of reducing sugar is determined by 3, 5-dinitrosalicylic acid method (DNS).
Analysis of physicochemical indexes such as pH, total acid, reducing sugar and amino acid nitrogen of the moromi mash in the high-salt dilute soy sauce fermentation process shows that the pH of the moromi mash is slightly reduced by adding Weissella mesenteroides, the total acid content is slightly increased, the content of the amino acid nitrogen is obviously increased, as shown in figure 2, at the 40 th day, compared with a Control group, the pH of the moromi mash is reduced by 15% by strengthening two bacteria (Co-infection group), the total acid is increased by 41.28%, the reducing sugar is decreased by 132.8%, and the amino nitrogen is increased by 97.4%. The amino nitrogen is used as the main judgment standard of the national soy sauce quality, and the content of the amino nitrogen can be obviously improved by jointly strengthening the two bacteria.
Example 5: effect of enhanced Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 and ZQ-01 on free amino acids
The free amino acid is measured by high performance liquid chromatography, and is subjected to in-column derivatization by adopting o-xylene (OPA), and the specific measurement method is referred to documents. Diluting the soy sauce filtrate by 20 times with 5% trichloroacetic acid, treating in dark for 30min, filtering with water system filter membrane with pore diameter of 0.22 μm, and collecting 1mL sample. This operation can remove the interference of the protein on the measurement result. Chromatographic conditions are as follows: chromatograph Agilent1260, column ODSYPERSIL (250 mm. times.4.6 mm. times.5 μm). The mobile phase A and the mobile phase B are prepared as before, and are filtered and subjected to ultrasonic treatment for more than 30min before use. Mobile phase a phase: 5 g.L-1Sodium acetate solution (containing 0.2 mL. L)-1 Triethylamine 5 mL. L-1Tetrahydrofuran), pH adjusted to 7.2 with acetic acid. Mobile phase B phase: 5 g.L-1Sodium acetate-methanol-acetonitrile solution with the volume ratio of 1:2: 2.
The free amino acid has important contribution to the formation of unique taste and aroma of fermented foods, particularly the fermented soybean foods taking protein as a main fermentation substrate. The content of free amino acid is one of the main physicochemical indexes for measuring the quality of soy sauce. Glutamic acid is umami amino acid and is main free amino acid in the umami taste of the soy sauce. Glycine and threonine are sweet amino acids. Compared with the Control group, the total content of free amino acid of the two reinforced bacteria (Co-inoculation group) is improved by 33.15 percent. Wherein glutamic acid is improved by 50%, lysine is improved by 56.39%, glycine is improved by 38.62%, and threonine is improved by 70.79%.

Example 6: effect of enhanced Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 and ZQ-01 on organic acid content
The organic acid is determined by high performance liquid chromatography, and the specific method is referred to in the literature. The filtrate of the moromi mash was diluted 10 times with ultrapure water, and then filtered through a water-based filter membrane having a pore size of 0.22 μm, and 1mL of a sample was sampled and measured. Chromatographic conditions are as follows: liquid phase system: agilent 1260; a chromatographic column: an organic acid column;an ultraviolet detector: 210 nm; sample introduction volume: 10 mu L of the solution; mobile phase: 5 mmol. L-1 dilute sulfuric acid; column temperature: 40 ℃; elution speed: 0.5 mL/min-1(ii) a Separation time: and (3) 30 min.
The organic acid generated by lactic acid bacteria in the soy sauce is not only an important component of soy sauce flavor substances, but also plays a role in inhibiting the growth of putrefying bacteria or mixed bacteria in soy sauce mash, and the total content of organic acid for strengthening two bacteria (Co-inoculation group) is improved by 72.76 percent compared with the Control group at the 40 th day. In which propionic acid, which is a short chain saturated fatty acid, was increased by 1.43 fold (fig. 3).
Example 7: effect of enhanced Weissella mesenteroides LCW-28 and ZQ-01 on flavor content
The volatile flavor substances are determined by adopting a solid phase microextraction combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS) technology, and the specific method is referred to in the literature. Taking three parallel samples from each sample at the end of fermentation, filtering, mixing uniformly, accurately measuring 5mL of soy sauce sample, placing in a 20mL headspace sample injection bottle, adding 83.36 μ g.L-1The 2-octanol as internal standard, mixed evenly and sealed immediately for determination. And (3) comparing and identifying the mass spectrogram of the sample with a NIST2.0 standard spectrum library after determination. Volatile substances were characterized according to Retention Index (RI). The volatile substances were quantitatively analyzed according to the area of the internal standard 2-octanol.
The reinforced Weissella mesenteroides or the Zygosaccharomyces rouxii can obviously increase the content of main flavor substances (alcohol, acid, ester, phenol, aldehyde and the like) in the soy sauce fermentation process, and particularly, the content of the flavor substances is increased most when the two bacteria are added together. Compared with the Control group, the total content of volatile flavor substances is increased by 2.12 times when the two bacteria are enhanced. Wherein the alcohol is increased by 1.39 times, the acid is increased by 2.39 times, and the aldehyde is increased by 2 times. Wherein the characteristic flavor substance of the soy sauce is 4-ethylguaiacol is improved by 1.58 times, and the HEMF is improved by 2.73 times.
