Fungal community succession and volatile compound dynamics in Harbin dry sausage during fermentation

This study investigated the fungal community succession and volatile compound dynamics of Harbin dry sausage during a twelve-day fermentation using high-throughput internal transcribed spacer amplicon sequencing and headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Aspergillus pseudoglaucus was found to be the primary species in the sausages during fermentation, whereas Lasiodiplodia theobromae, Alternaria alternata,...
