Production of Food Aroma Compounds: Microbial and Enzymatic Methodologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Over the past few years, the increasing demand for natural products in the food industry has encouraged remarkable efforts towards the development of biotechnological processes for the production of flavour compounds. The present paper reviews the recent major achievements reported in this field, with a special emphasis on the potential lying in plant cell, microbial cultures and enzyme technology for the production of a wide range of flavours. The use of solid-state fermentation as a means to improve economical feasibility of these processes is also considered.

The Use of Enzymes and Microorganisms for the Production of Aroma Compounds from Lipids
Lipids are an important source of aroma compounds. In foods, lipids are degraded or modified by enzymatic activities that are originally present in the raw materials or that develop later due to the growth of microorganisms. Mimicking these natural pathways, some processes have been developed to produce aroma compounds in bioreactors. In this review we describe the production of aroma compounds...
متن کاملPichia cactophila and Kluyveromyces lactis are Highly Efficient Microbial Cell Factories of Natural Amino Acid-Derived Aroma Compounds.
The pivotal role of non-conventional yeast (NCY) species in formation of valuable aroma compounds in various food commodities is widely acknowledged. This fact inspires endeavors aiming at exploitation of food-derived NCYs as biocatalysts in natural aromas production. In this study, we isolated, characterized and evaluated aroma-producing capacity of two NCY representatives-Pichia cactophila 7....
متن کاملEffect of Composition on Release of Aroma Compounds
The effect of oleic acid (5 and 10% v/v) and xanthan gum (0.5 and 1% wt) on partitioning and retention of ethyl acetate and diacetyl from two matrices with a different composition was investigated by applying static head space gas chromatography. Two matrices with different composition have been developed: one containing carbohydrates (xanthan gum) and in the second one, called co...
متن کاملBiochemistry of Apple Aroma: A Review.
Flavour is a key quality attribute of apples defined by volatile aroma compounds. Biosynthesis of aroma compounds involves metabolic pathways in which the main precursors are fatty and amino acids, and the main products are aldehydes, alcohols and esters. Some enzymes are crucial in the production of volatile compounds, such as lipoxygenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, and alcohol acyltransferase. C...
متن کاملOptimizing Sourdough Processing for the Production of ɣ-nonalactone (Fruity Aroma) by Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis Using Headspace Solid-Phase Microextraction Method
Background and Objectives: Sourdough processing is a well-known method to improve food flavor. One of the most important lactic acid bacteria isolated from sourdoughs is Lactobacillus sanfranciscensis. Because of the bacterial ability for acidification and liberation of the volatile compound precursors, it can strongly affect dough rheology and aromatic properties. In this study, the best condi...
