Abstract

Legumes are an attractive choice for developing new products since their health benefits. Fermentation can effectively improve the quality of soymilk. This study evaluated the impact of fermentation on the physicochemical parameters, vitamins, organic acids, aroma substances, and metabolites of chickpea milk. The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) fermentation improved the color, antioxidant properties, total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, lactic acid content, and vitamin B6 content of raw juice. In total, 77 aroma substances were identified in chickpea milk by headspace solid-phase microextraction with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS); 43 of the 77 aroma substances increased after the LAB fermentation with a significant decrease in beany flavor content ( < 0.05), improving the flavor of the soymilk product. Also, a total of 218 metabolites were determined in chickpea milk using non-targeted metabolomics techniques, including 51 differentially metabolites (28 up-regulated and 23 down-regulated; < 0.05). These metabolites participated in multiple metabolic pathways during the LAB fermentation, ultimately improving the functional and antioxidant properties of fermented soymilk. Overall, LAB fermentation can improve the flavor, nutritional, and functional value of chickpea milk accelerating its consumer acceptance and development as an animal milk alternative.
