    Abstract Bisphenol A (BPA), one of the most widely used plasticizers, is an endocrine-disrupting chemical that is released from plastic products. The aim of this study was to screen and characterize bacteria with excellent BPA-degrading abilities for application in foods. BPA degradation ability was confirmed in 127 of 129 bacterial strains that were isolated from fermented soybean foods. Among the strains,

    Abstract Meat and meat products are excellent sources of nutrients for humans; however, they also provide a favorable environment for microbial growth. To prevent the microbiological contamination of livestock foods, synthetic preservatives, including nitrites, nitrates, and sorbates, have been widely used in the food industry due to their low cost and strong antibacterial activity. Use of synthetic chemical preservatives is recently being considered by customers due to concerns related to negative health issues. Therefore, the demand for natural substances as food preservatives has increased with the use of plant-derived and animal-derived products, and microbial metabolites. These natural preservatives inhibit the growth of spoilage microorganisms or food-borne pathogens by increasing the permeability of microbial cell membranes, interruption of protein synthesis, and cell metabolism. Natural preservatives can extend the shelf-life and inhibit the growth of microorganisms. However, they can also influence food sensory properties, including the flavor, taste, color, texture, and acceptability of food. To increase the applicability of natural preservatives, a number of strategies, including combinations of different preservatives or food preservation methods, such as active packaging systems and encapsulation, have been explored. This review summarizes the current applications of natural preservatives for meat and meat products.

    Abstract Production of Saccharomyces cerevisiae-based single cell protein (SCP) has recently received great attention due to the steady increase in the world's population and environmental issues. In this study, an inverse metabolic engineering approach was applied to improve the production of yeast SCP. Specifically, an S. cerevisiae mutant library, generated using UV-random mutagenesis, was screened for three rounds to isolate mutants with improved protein content and/or concentration. The #1021 mutant strain exhibited a respective 31% and 23% higher amino acid content and concentration than the parental S. cerevisiae D452-2 strain. Notably, the content, concentration, and composition of amino acids produced by the PAN2* strain, with a single nucleotide polymorphism in PAN2 coding for a catalytic subunit of the poly(A)-nuclease (PAN) deadenylation complex, were virtually identical to those produced by the #1021 mutant strain. In a glucose-limited fed-batch fermentation, the PAN2* strain produced 19.5 g L

    Abstract A yeast starter is formulated for commercial practices, including storage and distribution. The cell viability of the yeast starter is one of the most important factors for manufacturing alcoholic beverages to ensure their properties during the fermentation and formulation processes. In this study, 64 potential protective agents were evaluated to enhance the survival rate of the brewing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae 88-4 after freeze-drying. In addition, the optimized combination of protective agents was assessed for long-term storage. Finally, response surface methodology was applied to investigate the optimal concentration of each protectant. Twenty of the 64 additives led to an increase in the survival rate of freeze-dried S. cerevisiae 88-4. Among the various combinations of protectants, four had a survival rate >95%. The combination of skim milk, maltose, and maltitol exhibited the best survival rate of 61% after 42 weeks in refrigerated storage, and the composition of protectants optimized by response surface methodology was 6.5–10% skim milk, 1.8–4.5% maltose, and 16.5–18.2% maltitol. These results demonstrated that the combination of multiple protectants could alleviate damage to yeasts during freeze-drying and could be applied to the manufacturing starters for fermented foods.

    Abstract Despite the advantages of CRISPR/Cas9 technology in the food industry, controversy over its off-target effects exists. We engineered an industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain isolated from a Korean rice wine starter, Nuruk, using CRISPR/Cas9 to decrease ethyl carbamate (EC) formation. We disrupted the CAR1 gene encoding arginase, which plays a key role in EC formation. Subsequently, we compared the whole genome of the engineered strain to that of the wild type by analyzing heterozygous and homozygous mutations through variant calling. Homozygous mutations in the genome of the engineered strains were identified as the target mutations in CAR1 induced by CRISPR/Cas9, and no other off-target effects were observed. Our findings have critical implications for the use of CRISRP/Cas9 technology in yeasts in the food industry.

    Abstract This study aimed to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, sensory attributes, and consumer acceptance of the Certification of Quality of Traditional Food (CQT) ganjang samples produced in different provinces of Korea. Wide variations in physicochemical properties were found among the samples, especially in lipids, total nitrogen, acidity, and reducing sugar. Traditional fermented foods are known to be closely tied to regional features, but the composition and characteristics of CQT ganjangs might be influenced much more by individual ganjang producers than by region. Preference mapping was performed to understand consumer behavior towards ganjang, and most consumers tended to have similar preferences, implying shared a common sensory ideal. The results of the partial least squares regression revealed drivers of liking for ganjang among sensory attributes, free amino acids, and organic acids. Overall, sensory attributes such as sweetness and umami were positively associated with acceptability, while the terms related to fermentation were negatively associated. In addition, amino acids, such as threonine, serine, proline, glutamate, aspartate, and lysine, and organic acids, such as lactate and malate, were positively associated with consumer acceptance. The important implications of the findings of this study for the food industry can be utilized to develop and optimize traditional foods.

    Abstract Herein, the skin whitening effect of the fermentation residue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. The fermentation residue showed radical scavenging activity and attenuated tyrosinase activity. Furthermore, the fermentation residue of S. cerevisiae significantly suppressed melanin generation in B16F10 cells. Interestingly, the sample-containing formulation exhibited increased skin whitening activity compared with that by the control formulation in a clinical study. Notably, the endogenous tyrosinase expression was not altered by the fermentation residue of S. cerevisiae; however, the enzymatic activity of tyrosinase was inhibited. Furthermore, the sample did not change TRP1 and TRP2 expression in B16F10 cells. Thus, the fermentation residue of S. cerevisiae was assumed to directly suppress the tyrosinase enzyme. It was confirmed that the fermentation residue of S. cerevisiae was a competitive inhibitor of tyrosinase. Taken together, the fermentation residue of S. cerevisiae could be a novel skin whitening agent originating from the traditional Korean liquor production process.
