Fermented bean products are used worldwide; most of the products are made using only a few kinds of beans. However, the metabolite changes and contents in the beans generally used during fermentation are unrevealed. Therefore, we selected four different beans (soybean, Glycine max, GM; wild soybean, Glycine soja, GS; common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris, PV; and hyacinth bean, Lablab purpureus, LP) that are the most widely consumed and fermented with Aspergillus oryzae. Then, metabolome and multivariate statistical analysis were performed to figure out metabolite changes during fermentation. In the four beans, carbohydrates were decreased, but amino acids and fatty acids were increased in the four beans as they fermented. The relative amounts of amino acids were relatively abundant in fermented PV and LP as compared to other beans. In contrast, isoflavone aglycones (e.g., daidzein, glycitein, and genistein) and DDMP-conjugated soyasaponins (e.g., soyasaponins βa and γg) were increased in GM and GS during fermentation. Notably, these metabolite changes were more significant in GS than GM. In addition, the increase of antioxidant activity in fermented GS was significant compared to other beans. We expect our research provides a basis to extend choice for bean fermentation for consumers and food producers. |
