    Flavor peptides with various structures and lengths can reveal unique taste properties including sweet, bitter, umami, sour and salty properties. It has been proposed that the structures and amino acid sequences of flavor peptides can also affect their taste properties. Flavor peptides not only serve as unique precursors of aromas but also affect food taste. Current studies mainly focus on the types and amounts of flavor peptides; however, the mechanisms of their interactions with taste receptors remain unclear. In foreign countries, several investigations have reported that flavor peptides have impact on blood pressure and other physiological functions. Moreover, the mechanisms of interaction between flavor peptides and taste receptors have been reported rarely. In this article, the effects of flavor peptides on food flavor and corresponding taste mechanisms are reviewed, which will provide a theoretical basis for further research and development of flavor foods and seasonings.

    In recent years, emulsion gels have attracted great interest due to their ability to improve the stability of emulsions, protect bioactive substances and control the release of bioactive substances. Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by polysaccharide-based particles are formed by embedding a Pickering emulsion stabilized by polysaccharide-based particles in a gel network, or formed as a continuous emulsion particulate gel network structure by the aggregation and/or interaction of Pickering emulsion droplets stabilized by polysaccharide-based particles. The emulsion gels have multiple advantages including surfactant-free, low toxicity, and superior stability against environmental changes. This article summarizes the methods and raw materials used to prepare Pickering emulsion gels stabilized by different polysaccharide-based particles and their physicochemical properties and application and discusses problems existing in this field of research, which will hopefully provide a theoretical reference for widening the application of polysaccharide-based particles stabilized Pickering emulsion gels in the food field.

    The threshold of toxicological concern (TTC) is a concept that refers to the establishment of a level of exposure for all chemicals, below which there would be no appreciable risk to human health. The TTC method has been applied for nearly half a century since it was proposed, and has experienced a continuous improvement and development process. The establishment, development and improvement of TTC method were discussed. TTC method was originally developed to determine the threshold of safety in food materials. Since then, the non-carcinogenic oral toxicity endpoint of no significant effect level (NOEL) was analyzed to develop a structural class-based multi-scale TTC which was then adopted by Food Additives of FAO/World Health Organization (FAO/WHO) Joint Expert Committee (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) with development and improvement. The TTC approach is in wide application to assess the risk of chemicals at low exposure levels, which avoids multiple unnecessary, overly detailed studies, as well as a wide range of toxicological experiments. The TTC method also provides a feasible way for the risk assessment of chemical substances that the amount is very low but lack of a complete toxicity data.

    Polysaccharides were extracted from different teas with hot water and their contents were determined by sulfuric acid-phenol method, while polyphenols were extracted with alcohol and their contents were determined by ferrous tartrate method. Then the scavenging effects of tea polysaccharide and polyphenol on free radicals were examined by DPPH·, salicylic acid and pyrogallol methods respectively, and the antioxidant capabilities of 8 kinds of tea were comparatively studied. Results showed that the polysaccharides contents in different teas are from 2.19% up to 2.89% and their change order is as following: semifermented oolong tea > black tea > green tea. The polyphenol contents in different teas are from 1.71% up to 9.75% and their change order is as following: green tea > semifermented oolong tea > black tea. The order of antioxidant capability is black tea > green tea > semifermented oolong tea (DPPH· and salicylic acid methods) or black tea > semifermented oolong tea > green tea (pyrogallol method). Both tea polysaccharides and polyphenols are main antioxidants in different kinds of teas. The antioxidant capability of green tea mainly depends on polyphenols, while that of black tea mainly depends on polysaccharides. Furthermore, the antioxidant capabilities of both polysaccharides and polyphenols are proportional to their contents in various tea extracts except aqueous polysaccharide extract of oolong tea.

    Natural phytochemicals (Phc) derived from dietary sources or medicinal plants have gained extensive recognition in potential protection and clinical applications for human health. Fruits and vegetables are abundant sources of highly effective phytochemicals for functional foods, which exert anti-cancer functions by inhibiting the process of carcinogenesis through the upregulation of cytoprotective genes encoding carcinogen-detoxifying enzymes, antioxidant enzymes, cytokines and regulation networks of immunity. Plenty of studies have proved that the mechanisms include the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, or the inhibition of signal transduction pathways such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), protein kinase C (PKC), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Toll-like receptors (TLRs), abnormal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), activator protein-1 (AP-1), and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). Effectiveness of chemopreventive agents can reflect their capability to counteract certain upstream signals that result in genotoxic damage, redox imbalance and cellular stress. NF- κ B and AP-1 provide mechanistic links among inflammation, immunity regulation and cancer. Thus, the complexity is due to cell signaling cascades and their cross-talks. Abnormality in MAPK pathway and/or related downstream transcription factors might cause the replication of uncontrolled cells and the transformation of malignant cells. Therefore, the inhibition of these pathways will provide an effective strategy for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

    DPPH radical scavenging properties of antioxidants are generally evaluated by determining absorbance (A517 nm) at 517 nm wavelength. Herein, the radical scavenging mechanisms of ascorbic acid on DPPH radicals were investigated by UV-Vis spectrometric, electrochemical and mass spectrometric determinations. It was found that DPPH existed in two different forms, radical form (DPPH·) and highly conjugated form (DPPH+), and ascorbic acid could scavenge both of them in the solution. Generally, the two forms of DPPH were at equilibrium in the solution. This makes it possible to indirectly evaluate DPPH radical scavenging properties of the same kinds of antioxidants based on A517 nm changes of DPPH+, but for different kinds of antioxidants, it is impossible to correctly evaluate radical scavenging properties because of their different relative scavenging effects on the two forms of DPPH.

    Cooking methods seem to decrease the allergenicity of peanut. This study was to investigate: (i) the effects of buffer composition on peanut allergens extraction efficiency, (ii) the effects of cooking methods on peanut allergenicity. The relative contents of major peanut allergens of various buffers were quantified by SDS-PAGE densitometry. The capability of IgE (immunoglobulin E) bound to the different peanut preparations (fried, boiled and roasted) was detected with ELISA. In result, different buffers lead to different extraction efficiency for total protein and Ara h 1, and no significant difference was observed for Ara h 3. The IgE binding capability of different processed peanuts was significantly different when extracted with PBS 7.6, but not with Urea buffer. Therefore, cooking methods may not explain the reason for the lower prevalence of peanut allergy in China.

    A pre-column derivatization RP-HPLC method with detection with a photodiode array detector (DAD) or a fluorescecse detector (FLD) was developed for the determination of N-acetylneuraminic acid in edible birds’ nest (EBN). Samples were dissolved in 0.5 mol/L sodium bisulfate aqueous solution and kept for 30 min in 80 ℃ water bath. After cooling the derivatization was carried out using O-phenylenediamine · 2HCl as derivative. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 column using a mobile phase composed of 1.0% tetrahydrofuran aqueous solution (containing phosphoric acid and 1- butylamine at the levels of 0.5% and 0.15%, respectively) and acetonitrile (95:5, V/V) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min in the isocratic elution mode. The DAD wavelength was set at 230 nm and the FLD Ex and Em wavelengths at 230 and 425 nm, respectively. The relationship between HPLC peak area and N-acetylneuraminic acid concentration over the range of 0.1-750 μg/mL exhibited good linearity (r > 0.9990). A complete separation of N-acetylneuraminic acid was observed within 20 min. Mean recoveries of 6 replicates for N-acetylneuraminicacid in a real sample spiked at 3 levels ranged from 85.03% to 97.14%. The limit of detection (LOD) of the method was 0.2μg /mL with a DAD and 0.005μg /mL with a FLD. Clearly, the LOD with a FLD was two orders of magnitude lower than that with a DAD. Meanwhile, less miscellaneous small peaks were observed in the FLD detection. However, a DAD presented higher detection sensitivity than a FLD at the same concentrations over the LOD resulting from DAD detection. The method demonstrates the advantages of high sensitivity, good repeatability and rapidity, and is consequently most suitable for the determination of N-acetylneuraminic acid in some samples like EBN.

    Abstract: As a green forest vegetable with high fiber, high protein, low fat and low sugar, bamboo shoots are becoming more and more popular. However, the harvesting season of bamboo shoots is concentrated and the metabolism is vigorous after harvesting, which makes them be very easy to rot and age in the process of transportation and storage, and their nutritional and commercial values are greatly reduced. In order to promote the sustainable development of bamboo shoots industry in China, there is an urgent need to enhance the research on the physiology, biochemistry, storage and preservation of bamboo shoots after harvest. This paper describes the postharvest physiological and biochemical changes of bamboo shoots in terms of their appearance and quality, respiration, transpiration and lignification, and provides a detailed review of the applications of different preservation methods (traditional preservation, physical preservation, chemical preservation and biological preservation) to bamboo shoots storage and preservation at home and abroad, which will provide reference for developing new storage technology based on physiological and biochemical changes of bamboo shoots after harvest .

    Effects of glass transition on the viscosity, diffusivity and reaction rate were discussed briefly. Then its respective effects on physical, chemical and biological stability of food were reviewed extensively. Viscosity increased when temperature decreased in the vicinity of glass transition temperature (Tg), but diffusivity coefficient of small molecular materials did not decrease further. Although food might lose their stability when glass transition took place, but glass transition alone could not be considered as the only generic rules established for food stability criteria. The food would not necessarily lose stability at Tg even if there did occur the glass transition. Physical stability can be predicted with confidence based on glass transition, while chemical and biological stability can hardly be predicted just according to glass transition.

    Water, as a plasticizer, may affect the migration of starch molecules so that it plays an important role in gelatinization and aging of starch. In this study, the effects of water content on thermal kinetics of rice and potato starches were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Results indicated that higher water content in starch resulted in the increase of gelatinization temperature and significant change of gelatinization enthalpy. In addition, different water contents were required for the gelatinization of different types of starch. Moreover, water content in starch could also attenuate the aging process of starch. Furthermore, higher water content level exhibited a slower aging process in rice starch compared with potato starch.

    Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) belongs to ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid family and is beneficial for human health.
    The main sources of DHA currently include fish oil and microalgal oil. In fish oil, DHA exists as ethyl ester form in microalgal
    oil, and DHA exists as triglyceride form. DHA in triglyceride form is advantageous when compared with its ethyl ester form in
    term of metabolic absorption efficiency, bioavailability, stability and safety in human body. Moreover, fish oil and microalgal
    oil are also different in several aspects such as smell, EPA and cholesterol contents, and the contamination of heavy metals and
    persistent organic pollutants. Therefore, the sustainable production and supply of DHA by microalgae will be the future trend in
    food industry due to the limited availability of water and fish resources.

    In order to explore quality changes of potato chips during frying process, physical parameters and microstructure of potato chips fried for different periods of time as well as their shelf life were investigated in this study. The results showed that prolonged frying time could result in reduced water content, increased oil content, and improved fragility of potato chips. Meanwhile, protrusions and pores were gradually formed on the surface of potato chips during frying process due to gelatinization of starch granules. The pores appeared on the cross section first because of the protection from crust, and more pores were observed on the cross section of fried potato chips. The interaction between potato chips and oil was physical action in large part during frying process. The acid value, peroxide value and carbonyl value of oil in fried potato chips revealed a gradual increasing trend during the extension of storage. The shelf life of potato chips was predicted to be approximately 102 days according to Arrhenius equation.

    Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides as the major bioactive components have been attracted tremendous attentions due to their unique health functions. Biological activities and health functions of polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum have close relationships with their chemical structures such as molecular weight, glycosidic bond type and polysaccharide composition. Extensive investigations reported that polysaccharides from Ganoderma lucidum played important roles in reducing blood glucose and blood lipid, anti-tumor, immunoregulation and antioxidation functions. Due to many restriction factors of solid cultivation, liquid fermentation has become a major method for producing Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides. However, the optimization of fermentation conditions is one of the critical factors for mass production of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides. Traditional extraction methods for Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides such as hot-water extraction and alkaline extraction have the drawbacks of time-consuming and low extraction efficiency. However, ultrasonic-assisted extraction can remedy those defects, and therefore has attracted more and more attentions.

    Capsaicin is the source of spicy taste in pepper fruits. Capsaicin stimulates nerve endings and reacts with some molecules to produce bioelectric pulses, which trigger the transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) channal in human nerves, and then transmit the signal to the brain to produce a spicy feeling. It is found that capsaicin synergizes with or inhibits taste, and the interaction between them varies depending on the concentration of capsaicin. Therefore, this paper summarizes the types, chemical properties and applications of capsaicinoids, describes the biological mechanism by which capsaicin causes a spicy sensation, namely activating the capsaicin receptor TRPV1 channel, and discusses the interaction of spiciness with sour, sweet and bitter taste. Next, this review points out the shortcomings of the current research on the interaction between spiciness and taste and the potential underlying mechanism, and provides an outlook on future research directions. It is expected that this review will provide theoretical support for the further development of the spicy foods industry.

    The green walnut fruits of the cultivar Liaohe No. 2 were subjected to 60Coγ-ray irradiation at 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5
    and 1.0 kGy, respectively, and then stored at (0 ± 1) ℃ for 60 days firstly and then for another 30 days after the removal of
    green husk. Changes in color parameters, browning index, cracking rate, ethylene production, gas composition, the contents
    of protein, fat and fatty acids, peroxide value and carbonyl value were monitored during storage. The results showed that
    irradiation significantly decreased the cracking rate of walnut fruit and ethylene peak, maintained the peroxide value and
    carbonyl value at relatively low levels and also slowed down lipid oxidation. Irradiation at doses of 0.3 and 0.5 kGy had a
    good performance on sensory quality, and the optimal dose for retarding fruit senescence was 0.3 kGy. The lowest cracking
    rate and ethylene peak were achieved with this dose. Meanwhile, the total essential fatty acids remained at a high level, and
    the highest fat content and lowest peroxide value were obtained at the late stage of storage. In conclusion, 0.3 kGy was the
    optimal irradiation dose for cold storage of walnut fruit.

    An anaerobic Clostridium strain designated HBUT-01was screened from river sludge. By 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the strain was identified as Clostridium butyricum and its 16S rDNA fragment shared 99% similarity with that of C. butyricum DSM 10702T (AQQF01000149). The response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the fermentation medium for this isolated strain, and a quadratic regression model with yeast exact, CaCO3 and glucose as independent variables was established by Design-Expert 8.0 software. The optimum medium was determined as follows: glucose 1.60%, yeast extract 0.72%, peptone 2.50%, CaCO3 0.43%, K2HPO4 0.05%, MgSO4·7H2O 0.08%, and MnSO4·H2O 0.002%. Batch cultures were carried out in a 10-L bioreactor, and an increase in specific productivity of butyrate (qp) of 20% and an increase in biomass yield coefficient (Yx/s) of 132% were obtained as compared with that before optimization. The results suggested that the impact of acid stress on the cells was relieved effectively and cell activity was also maintained with the optimized medium, which resulted in an increased biomass, reaching 9.32×108 CFU/mL at 14 h, which was increased by 2.24 times as compared to that with the basic medium.

    The suspension of cultured Escherichia coli was subjected to cell disruption and enzyme separation/extraction to prepare tryptophanase. The preparation process was investigated and the crude enzyme solution obtained was characterized for its enzymatic properties and reaction kinetic characteristics. Among four cell disruption methods, 50 ℃water bath heating and adding TritonX-100 were considered to be two better methods than adding SDS and microwave treatment due to ease of operation, mild reaction, good preservation of enzyme activity, and so on, and 50 ℃water bath heating method was selected in this study. Fractional salting-out with ammonium sulphate was the best method for the separation of tryptophanase among three methods. The enzyme revealed an optimal reaction temperature of 45 ℃ and was stable in a pH range of 5.5 to 7.5. Its maximum tolerant and optimal reaction temperatures were 65 ℃ and 45 ℃, respectively. K+ and NH4+ could effectively elevate the activity of the enzyme, whereas the enzyme was remarkably inactivated by Na+. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the kinetic parameter Km of the enzyme towards the substrate L-serine was much larger than that towards indole.

    When mixing dough of Mantou, 20% Laomiantuan fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CGMCC 2.0562) and/ or Lactobacillus brevis (CGMCC 1.0579) was added in dough. The pH, total acidity and soluble sugars were determined to explore the growth and metabolism characteristics of microorganisms during dough fermentation of Laomian Mantou. Soluble sugars including maltose, sucrose, fructose and glucose were determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD). The detection conditions were as follows: mobile phase, acetonitrile/water mixture (70:30, V/V); flow rate 1.0 mL/min; column temperature, 25 ℃; ELSD drift tube temperature, 83.5 ℃; and flow rate of carrier gas, 2.2 L/min. Compared with the control group, the samples with the addition of Laomian exhibited a lower pH and higher total acidity, especially the samples with addition of Laomian derived solely from Lactobacillus brevis (CGMCC 1.0579). The contents of soluble sugars and corresponding change trend differed in different samples with the addition of different Laomian starters during the fermentation. Therefore, acid-producing metabolism and soluble sugar content during the fermentation of dough may affect the quality of Mantou.

    The molecule of dihydromyricetin (DMY) was chemically modified with lauroyl chloride, producing dihydromyricetin laurate (DMYL). The solubility and antioxidant properties of DMY andDMYL were explored. The results showed that the solubility of DMYL in oil phase increased 20 - 300 times when compared with DMY. The solubility of DMYL in oil phase increased with the increase of esterification degree. The scavenging effects of DMYL on DPPH free radicals and H2O2 in polar solvents were both weaker than those of DMY, decreasing with the increase of esterification degree. However, the inhibitory effect of DMYL on lecithin peroxidation induced by Fe2+/VC was markedly superior to that of DMY and not affected by the esterification degree. It is suggested that the antioxidant properties of DMY and DMYL are influenced by both solubility and the amount of hydroxyl groups.

    The isolation and culture conditions of endophytes from branch and leaves of Pseudolarix kaempferi Gord. were investigated. Plant materials were sterilized by surface treatment with 75% ethanol, sodium hypochlorite solution and sterilized water. The optimal surface sterilization intensity for isolating endophytes was determined in a progressive decrease way with biological safety cabinet sterilization detection control, washing liquid sterilization detection control and tissue blotting sterilization detection control. The effects of three various media on isolation of endophytes were compared. A short-time sterilization with high concentration sodium hypochlorite solution was more suitable for the isolation of endophytes than a long-time sterilization with low concentration. The growth of fast-growing endophytes was inhibited in a 10% PDA medium supplemented with potassium benzylpenicillin and streptomycin sulfate at 22 ℃ and thus slow-growing ones could obtain some growing space, which was beneficial to maximize the separation of endophytes. The accuracy of isolation of endophytes was guaranteed by the setting of three detection controls.

    The effects of temperature and amount of added HCl on the extraction of water-soluble oxalate and total oxalate from four vegetables (spinach, amaranth, coriander and Chinese chive) were investigated by ion chromatographic method. The watersoluble oxalate was extracted using water at different temperatures, and total oxalate was extracted using different amounts of 0.5 mol/L HCl solution. The centrifugation supernatant of extracts were supernatant diluted and filtrated well enough prior to ion chromatographic detection of oxalate. The water-soluble oxalate contents of spinach and amaranth increased with the increase of temperature, and their total oxalate contents increased with the increase of addition amount of 0.5 mol/L HCl in the range of 0.5-2 ml. While no significant changes in both the two forms of oxalate in Chinese chive and coriander were found when temperature and HCl addition amount were changed. The best extraction efficiency was obtained when total and water-soluble oxalates were extracted using 2 ml of 0.5 mol/L HCl and boiled water for 20 min respectively. The recoveries of water-soluble and total oxalate in the four vegetables were between 95.5% and 103.5%, and the contents of total and water-soluble oxalates both decreased in the following order: spinach > amaranth > Chinese chive > coriander. This method is easy to operate, with little interference as well as high sensitivity and recovery and therefore is applicable to the determination of different forms of oxalate in various vegetables.

    Calcium and iron are essential metal elements for human health, as they play important roles in various metabolic processes such as bone formation and oxygen transport. Their interactions may interfere with each other's absorption and bioavailability, however, calcium and iron deficiencies are common nutritional problems that may cause osteoporosis and anemia, respectively. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of calcium and iron absorption in the intestine and their interactions is crucial for developing effective strategies to prevent or treat these conditions. Many studies have demonstrated that calcium could inhibit iron absorption on a short-term basis, while long-term studies suggest that calcium supplementation do not affect the overall iron status. This may indicate a transient and adaptive response to calcium intake. The molecular mechanisms involved may include modulation of iron transporters by calcium, but more research is needed to elucidate this process. Furthermore, there are fewer studies on how iron affects calcium absorption, high doses of iron may have a negative effect on calcium absorption and retention, however the specific effect of iron on calcium absorption is not clear, and no comprehensive reviews have been reported on this topic. In this review, the current understanding of the absorption of calcium and iron in the gut, their interaction during the absorption process, and the underlying molecular mechanisms governing their reciprocal effects on absorption are summarized. Above information are valuable in formulating efficient strategies for improving calcium and iron intake and absorption, as well as preventing nutritional deficiencies that have an impact on public health.

    Rape bee pollen protein was hydrolyzed with Alcalase 2.4L, and the change in degree of hydrolysis (DH) during hydrolysis was determined by pH stat method, OPA method or TNBS method, and differences in determination results were analyzed. DH derived from 118 min hydrolysis was measured by pH stat, OPA and TNBS methods to be 4.7%, 13.4% and 6.6%, respectively. Due to lower absorbance at 340 nm of the products of reaction among OPA reagent, lycine, cysteine and lysine, the determination by OPA method gave a lower DH. Unstable reaction between TNBS reagent and ε-NH2 was likely to due to the presence of certain luminescent substances generated from TNBS reagent. In the case of lower DH, the change in average degree of dissociation of α-NH2 groups could be neglected. In conclusion, pH stat method is a more accurate method than the two other ones.

    The technology of extracting polysaccharide from garlic with cellulase was studied. The optimum extracting conditions were evaluated at 5% cellulase addition and 1.5 h extraction time with temperature at 50 ℃and pH 5.0. On these bases, the antioxidant activity of garlic polysaccharide as well as garlicin was also assayed. The results showed that the garlic polysaccharide has certain antioxidant activity, which increases with the increase of polysaccharide concentration. Moreover, it was also shown that garlic polysaccharide has higher scavenging effects on hydroxyl radical and superoxide radical than those of garlicin at relatively high concentration. Therefore the reductive capability of garlicin is stronger than garlic polysaccharide.

    In order to investigate the effect of 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) treatment on postharvest black spot and reactive oxygen metabolism of apricot. ‘Saimmaiti’ apricot fruit were soaked with 0.9 mg/L EBR under reduced pressure or distilled water as a control, dried under natural sunlight, and then stored at (1.0 ± 0.5) ℃ and relative humidity of 90%–95% for 48 hours. Afterwards, the fruit were inoculated with Alternaria alternata and then kept under the same conditions. Sampling was conducted periodically to examine the effect of EBR treatment on postharvest black spot and reactive oxygen metabolism. The results showed that EBR treatment significantly increased the content of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) shortly after inoculation (P < 0.05), continuously and significantly improved the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) over the entire culture period and significantly enhanced catalase (CAT) activity during the later stages (P < 0.05). In addition, it significantly inhibited the production rate of superoxide anion radical (O2-·), effectively reduced the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as the increase in cell membrane permeability and the incidence of disease, and greatly inhibited the expansion of the lesion. Meanwhile, the results of transmission electron microscopy showed that EBR treatment could maintain the structural integrity of mitochondria, chloroplasts and other organelles in apricot fruit during storage. The mechanism behind the inhibition of the occurrence of postharvest black spot in apricots by EBR treatment may be closely related to regulating reactive oxygen metabolism and maintaining the structural integrity of organelles.

    The most familiar specific spoilage organisms (SSOs) of fresh-water aquatic products are Pseudomonas spp. and Shewanella putrefaciens during oxygenic cold storage. It has been reported both at home and abroad that Photobacterium phosphoreum, Lactobacillus and Enterobacteriaceae are the SSOs of aquatic products stored in a vacuum environment or in an atmosphere modified package. The SSO composition of aquatic products processed under mild conditions was complicated and generally consisted of Lactobacillus, Photobacterium phosphoreum, Enterobacteriaceae and so on. Modeling for predicting the spoilage course and residual shelf-life of an aquatic product is one of the applications of the SSO concept, and another is the targeting inhibition for the prolongation of shelf-life.
