The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of inoculated fermentation on the quality of Chinese sauerkraut. To this end we studied a co-culture system consisting of Lactobacillus plantarum Shanghai brewing 1.08 and Zygosaccharomyces rouxii CGMCC 3791 during inoculated sauerkraut fermentation. The nitrite concentrations in pickled cabbage and radish inoculated with starter cultures of L. plantarum and Z. rouxii were significantly lower than those in the spontaneous fermentation system during the whole fermentation process. In addition, co-culture of L. plantarum and Z. rouxii during the production of sauerkraut decreased the formation of biogenic amines in the pickled vegetables. Using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry we also compared the levels of volatile compounds in inoculated and naturally fermented Chinese sauerkraut. Sixty compounds were identified, with the sauerkraut inoculated with starter cultures containing overall higher contents of volatile compounds, including acids, alcohols, esters, and phenols. The structure of the microbial community during the production of sauerkraut was studied using phospholipid fatty-acid (PLFA) analysis. This analysis revealed that the brine of inoculated sauerkraut contained significantly higher contents of Gram-positive and fungal PLFAs and a lower content of Gram-negative PLFAs, suggesting that the improved quality of inoculated Chinese sauerkraut may be ascribed to the inhibition of the growth of Gram-positive during sauerkraut fermentation. These results may indicate a new strategy to enhance the quality of Chinese sauerkraut.
