Abstract
This study investigated the dynamic changes in flavor compounds and microbial communities during fermented water bamboo shoot (FWBS) fermentation by integrating physicochemical analysis, electronic tongue, electronic nose, HS-SPME-GC-MS and metagenomics. These results showed that free amino acids exhibited an initial increase followed by a decrease, reaching a peak on day 5, while lactic acid accumulated rapidly as the predominant organic acid. E-tongue analysis classified FWBS fermentation into early (day1 - day 3), middle (day 5), and late stages (day 7 - day 9). A total of 76 VOCs were detected, mainly esters, phenols and alcohols. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that Lactiplantibacillus, Lactococcus, Leuconostoc, Weissella were positively correlated with 14 key VOCs (VIP > 1, OAV > 1, and P < 0.05) These findings provide new insights into the flavor formation mechanism of FWBS and establish a foundation for quality control and targeted fermentation regulation.
