Popis: The optimal conditions for producing 9.96 g/L GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) in mature coconut water by Pediococcus pentosaceus HN8 were 10% monosodium glutamate as an additive, an initial pH of 5.92 and 33C under static condition for 24 h. A seasoning meat (112 g/L culture broth), spicy Laab-Numtok powder enriched with 8.2% GABA, was obtained from heating five-time-concentrated culture broth after mixing with other ingredients (table salt, lime juice, fermented fish sauce, chili powder, sliced shallots, ground galangal, sliced kaffir lime leaves and ground roasted rice), and followed by drying. This product met Thai Community Product Standard (493/2547) and it had the ability to inhibit foodborne pathogens. A sensory test showed our product and a popular commercial brand (CB3) had the highest score for all parameters. This work was most useful to add value to the by-product of coconut milk industry by producing a novel meat seasoning powder. Practical Applications Pediococcus pentosaceus HN8 could produce high amounts of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in mature coconut water (a byproduct from coconut milk industry) under static condition for 24 h by optimization on variable factors such as monosodium glutamate, initial pH and incubating temperature. To obtain meat seasoning powder (spicy Laab-Numtok), culture broth enriched with GABA was concentrated by heating, then mixing with ingredients (herbs, salt, fermented fish sauce and ground roasted rice) and finally drying. No significant difference for the sensory test of our product and the most popular commercial brands of spicy Laab-Numtok; however, our product provided sources of GABA, essential amino acids and antibacterial activity for producing safe and healthy Thai top dishes like spicy meats (i.e., chicken, duck and pork). Inexpensive GABA production in this study could be useful for the food industry to produce varieties of the novel meat seasoning products with more benefits to consumers.
