Sensory Characteristics of Probiotic-Containing Foods: A Multidisciplinary Perspective on Enhancing Acceptability and Consumer Adherence

This review explains why we don’t eat probiotic foods regularly even though we know they’re healthy: they often don’t taste, smell, or feel good. The authors show that improving the taste, texture, and appearance of probiotic foods can help people stick with them. They discuss how using different bacterial strains, better food formulas, and clever cooking techniques can make these foods more enjoyable while keeping their health benefits intact.

Insights into Physicochemical Characteristics, Flavor Development, and Microbial Succession During the Natural Fermentation of Sichuan-Style Black Soybean Soy Sauce

This research reveals how Sichuan-style black soybean soy sauce develops its distinctive complex flavor over six months of natural fermentation. The study tracked changes in taste and aroma compounds, identifying key flavor contributors like methional (sauce-like) and 1-octen-3-ol (mushroom-like). Different microorganisms dominate at different fermentation stages, with early-stage fungi breaking down proteins and later-stage bacteria and yeasts creating aromatic compounds. The findings provide insights for improving traditional soy sauce production methods.
