Breeding of Salt-Tolerant and Aroma-Producing Zygosaccharomyces rouxii Strains by Atmospheric and Room Temperature Plasma Mutagenesis
Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is mutagenized by atmospheric and room temperature plasma(ARTP)technology.It is determined that 40 s is the optimal mutagenesis time.Under such conditions,the fatality rate of the strain is 98.9%.With salt tolerance as the index,the mutagenized strains are preliminary screened,and a positive mutant strain S3-26 with strong salt tolerance is obtained.The original strain and selected strain S3-26 are added into the sauce mash medium with 18%salinity for cultivation.After fermentation,the comparative analysis of volatile flavor components is conducted.The results show that 59 flavor substances are detected in original strain S group and 63 flavor substances are detected in the mutant strain S3-26 group,increasing by 6.78%.The content of alcohols,aldehydes,acids,phenols,ketones,furans,pyrazines and total flavor substances in the fermented sauce mash added with S3-26 is higher than that of S group,among which,the content of alcohols increases by 28.50%,and the content of phenols increases by 80.33%.The results of OAV analysis show that the content of typical flavor substances in S3-26 group is higher than that in S group,with phenylacetaldehyde content increasing by 45.91%and guaiacol content increasing by 47.59%,giving soy sauce floral and smoky aroma,significantly enhancing the aroma quality of soy sauce.In addition,the mutant strain S3-26 shows good stability after 10 consecutive passage tests,and the comprehensive results show that the selected strain S3-26 has the potential to be applied in soy sauce fermentation.
