Correlations between microbiota succession and flavor formation during fermentation of Chinese low-salt fermented common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) inoculated with mixed starter cultures

The correlation between microbiota succession and flavor development in Chinese traditional fermented fish (Suanyu) inoculated with mixed starter cultures was studied. The results showed that 17 free amino acids, 22 free fatty acids and 9 organic acids were present. A total of 81 aroma compounds were detected during Suanyu fermentation. Aldehydes were the most abundant aroma compounds in the early stage of fermentation and esters contributed...
