Overview of omics approaches used to assess the impact of biopreservation on food ecosystems and main findings.
| Omics approach | Methodological details | Food | Main finding | References |
| PCR-Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis/Temporal temperature gradient electrophoresis associated or not with band sequencing | V3 region of 16S rDNA | Cooked and peeled shrimp | Carnobacterium divergens V41 but not Lactococcus piscium CNCM I-4031 used to inoculate shrimp dominated and was associated with reduction of off-flavours | Saraoui et al., 2017 |
| V3 region of 16S rDNA | Vacuum-packaged beef meat | Bands associated with spoilage bacteria (Pseudomonas, Enterobacteriaceae, Brochothrix. thermosphacta), but not with LAB, disappeared in samples inoculated with Latilactobacillus sakei and Latilactobacillus curvatus bioprotective strains | Zhang et al., 2018 | |
| V3 region of 16S rDNA | Vacuum-packed cooked ham | Predominant spoilage LAB were not detected when the bioprotective Latilactobacillus sakei B-2 strain was used | Hu et al., 2008 | |
| V6–V8 region of 16S rDNA | Beef cuts packaged in nisin-coated plastic bags | Similar diversity in control and nisin-treated samples although differences were observed with plate counts for Brochothrix thermosphacta | Ercolini et al., 2010 | |
| DNA sequencing | Pyrosequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rDNA | Cold-smoked salmon | Different OTU ratios were observed between control and samples inoculated with Lactococcus piscium EU2241 (= CNCM I-4031). No correlation with sensory analysis | Leroi et al., 2015 |
| Illumina sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rDNA | Raw/peeled shrimp | Shewanella baltica significantly inhibited after co-inoculation with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum AB-1 and Lacticaseibacillus casei LC | Li et al., 2019 | |
| Illumina sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rDNA | St Nectaire-type cheese | Implantation of an inhibitory consortium whose inhibitory activity toward Escherichia coli O26:H11 depended on indigenous microbiota composition | Frétin et al., 2020 | |
| Illumina sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rDNA and of an internal 280 bp fragment of the gyrB gene | Diced cooked ham | Bioprotective activity and implantation of a nisin-producing strain of Lactococcus lactis depended on microbiota composition | Chaillou et al., 2022 | |
| Illumina sequencing of V4 region of 16S rDNA | Fresh filled pasta | Cultures of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei were not dominant but reduced the initial microbiota and gave a competitive advantage to other LAB species | Tabanelli et al., 2020 | |
| 16S rRNA sequencing | Sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rRNA from cDNA | Fermented sausage | Large domination of Lactobacillaceae and reduction of bacterial diversity in samples inoculated with protective Latilactobacillus curvatus strain | Giello et al., 2018 |
| Sequencing of V3–V4 region of 16S rRNA from cDNA | Beef burgers in nisin-activated packaging | Lower abundance of some taxa in samples with nisin-activated packaging | Ferrocino et al., 2015 | |
| Volatilome analysis | Headspace SPME/GC-MS | Cooked and peeled tropical shrimp | Inhibition of Brochothrix thermosphacta by Lactococcus piscium CNCM I-4031 correlated with attenuation of off-odours and diminution of some volatile compounds | Fall et al., 2012 |
| Headspace SPME/GC-MS | Salmon gravlax | 6 protective strains exhibited their own volatilome profiles. Quality improvement was not correlated with implantation of protective culture | Wiernasz et al., 2020 | |
| Headspace SPME/GC-MS | Fresh filled pasta | Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lacticaseibacillus paracasei influenced the aroma profile with overall acceptability of the product | Tabanelli et al., 2020 | |
| NMR spectroscopy | in vitro | Kinetic analysis of 11 major metabolites involved in the metabolism of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and Lacticaseibacillus plantarum | Ebrahimi et al., 2016 | |
| FTICR-MS | Red wines | No effect on the volatile compounds of a Metschnikowia pulcherrima bioprotective strain. Wines produced from bioprotected or sulphited must had different metabolic signatures | Simonin et al., 2020 |
