As a superfruit, wolfberry has extremely high nutritional value, and how to enhance the accessibility of its nutrients is the core of current research. This study focused on exploring the kinetic model of Lactobacillus plantarum CCFM1050 fermentation of wolfberry and the potential alterations of antioxidant activity and volatile flavor compounds induced by lactic acid fermentation. we monitored cell counts, product formation, and substrate changes over a 72-h period of wolfberry fermentation. A kinetic model was developed to illustrate cell growth, substrate consumption, and product accumulation during wolfberry pulp fermentation. Phenolic substance analysis revealed a significant increase in total phenol and flavonoid content in wolfberry pulp during fermentation, reaching 1.16 and 1.15 times, respectively, compared to pre-fermentation levels. The elevated levels of phenolic substances led to a substantial increase in DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging rates in fermented wolfberry pulp, reaching 67.16% and 32.10%, respectively. Volatile components of samples were analyzed using the HS-GC-IMS method, and fingerprints of wolfberry pulp before and after fermentation were established. A total of 51 compounds were identified, including 12 alcohols, seven aldehydes, two acids, eight esters, and 12 ketones, contributing to an enhanced flavor profile in the fermented wolfberry pulp. This study is helpful for understanding the kinetic changes in the lactic acid fermentation of wolfberry, the changes of antioxidant active substances and VOCs, and provides guidance for the industrial processing of wolfberry.
