Abstract:
Camel meat was fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus (F group) and compared against an unfermented control (NF group). Subsequently, it was observed that the lightness value of the F group jerky increased over storage time and remained higher than that of the NF group. Conversely, pH values decreased during storage and were consistently lower in group F. Fermentation significantly reduced thiobarbituric acid and volatile base nitrogen contents. Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry detected 103 flavor compounds. The main flavors in group F were alcohols, acids, and aldehydes, while group NF was characterized by esters, alcohols, and aldehydes. The relative content of these compounds was higher in group F after storage. Microbial analysis confirmed Lactiplantibacillus and Pediococcus as the dominant, more desirable microbiota in group F. This study provides a theoretical basis for the industrial production of fermented camel meat products.
