The examination of chemosensory molecules in kimchi using a sensomics approach enabled the identification and characterization of key tastants on a quantitative basis. Several N-lactoyl- and N-succinoyl amino acid derivatives were discovered as taste-active and taste-modulating compounds. Their formation was verified applying incubation experiments and proved the involvement of the natural microflora during the fermentation process. Furthermore, these tastants were also found to occur in various fermented food products.
