Abstract
A combination of 16S rDNA and GC-IMS was used to study the changes in the composition of microorganisms and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the storage of northeastern Chinese soybean paste. Firmicutes and Actinobacteriota dominated the microbial communities of the soybean paste at the phylum level, bacterial profiles of different samples were different at genus level. Fifty-one VOCs were identified from soybean paste, most of which existed in the early storage stage. Most esters and alcohols decreased with the extension of the storage time, while acids and pyrazines accumulated in the later period of storage. Esters, alcohols, acids and aldehyde compounds are the key substances in the volatile components of soybean paste, which give the soybean paste the sour, sweet, rose, mushroom and smoky flavor characteristics. The biomarker Bacillus-velezensis in soybean paste is directly related to ester features; Kroppenstedtia, Sporolactobacillus-nakayamae, and Corynebacterium-stationis are positively associated with the biosynthesis of aldehydes.
