Applications of fungal β-glucosidase in foods.

Food Microorganism Effect Reference
Passion fruit juice Aspergillus niger Linalool, benzyl alcohol, and benzaldehyde levels increased in a passion fruit juice. [158]
Fruit juices and wines Candida molischiana Increased the levels of linalool, benzyl alcohol, and 2-phenylethanol in wine and some fruit juices under β-glucosidase action. [152]
Red grape Cabernet Gernischt
(Vitis vinifera L. cv.)
Trichosporon asahii Volatile flavor compounds in the β-glucosidase-treated samples were significantly increased. [159]
Strawberry glycosidic extract Aspergillus aculeatus,
Aspergillus foetidus,
Aspergillus japonicus,
Aspergillus niger,
Aspergillus tubingensis
Liberated volatiles (2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (furaneol)) or cinnamic acid contributed to the flavor of fresh strawberries. [160]
Fermented glutinous rice Aspergillus cristatum,
Aspergillus niger,
Aspergillus oryzae
Modified the flavor metabolism in rice by releasing linalool oxides, β-ionone, and geraniol compounds. [161]
Fu brick tea Aspergillus, Candida,
Debaryomyces,
Penicillium,

Saccharomycetales
Linalool, acetophenone, and methyl salicylate were identified as key volatiles contributors to the “fungal flower”, “flower”, and “mint” attributes; cedrol contributed to the “woody” attribute, and twelve alcohols and aldehydes were related to the “green” attribute during the manufacturing process. [162]
Green tea Aspergillus niger Increased concentrations of cis-3-hexenol, hexanol, geraniol, and benzyl alcohol. [163]
Craft beer Candida glabrata Glucoside-binding terpenes provided the final beer product with unique floral and fruity characteristics. [164]
Soy sauce Aspergillus oryzae Formation of flavors such as alcohols, acids, esters, aldehydes, furans, and pyrazines during soy sauce fermentation. [165]
