Abstract

Mianning ham is a traditional meat product in China. In this experiment, solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC-MS) and high-throughput sequencing were used to study the effects of adding Penicillium lanosum and adding the mixture of Penicillium lanosum and Staphylococcus equorum on the flavor and microbiology of Mianning ham. The results showed that the addition of the ferments resulted in an increase in the abundance of both the dominant bacterial phylum (Thick-walled Bacteria) and the dominant fungal phylum (Ascomycota). The variety of volatile flavor substances and key flavor substances increased after adding fermentation agents. A free amino acid analysis showed that hams from the Penicillium lanosum and Staphylococcus equorum group had significantly higher umami flavor amino acids than the control group and Penicillium lanosum group. Therefore, inoculation with Penicillium lanosum and Staphylococcus equorum favored the dominant bacteria and flavor of Mianning ham.

Keywords: Mianning ham; fermentation agent; flavor; high-throughput sequencing technology; microorganism.
