In this work, psychrotrophs known to cause food spoilage were isolated from commercial food products. Further, temperature sensitivities and volatile organic compounds of the representative strains were characterized to evaluate the population heterogeneity. A total of 490 isolates belonging to 38 genera of 20 families were identified from 30 psychrotroph-positive samples, among which Gram-negative bacteria occurred frequently. The genusPseudomonasexhibited a clear predominance, especiallyPseudomonas fragi, followed byPsychrobacter,Brochothrix,Serratia, andStenotrophomonas, with the dominant bacteria varying with origin. Aquatic products related toHafniaand quick-frozen food corresponding toStenotrophomonas, as well as livestock products were shown to be good ecological niches for growth of psychrotrophs. The genusPantoeawas shown to have an intimate relationship with fruits. While in bean, cereal grain and dairy products, onlyPseudomonaswas present. The fits of the growth curves demonstrated good adaptability and tolerance of the tested strains under 4 °C, and multifarious growth also reflected intra-species differences and phenotypic diversity. Various kinds of esters, aromatic compounds, alcohols, and ketones were frequently detected by GC–MS. High alcohols were seen inPsychrobacter, but hydrocarbons and ethers were more often found inPseudomonas. In particular, since high amounts of isophorone were only discovered in bacteria samples, it is speculated to be the characteristic substance of psychrotrophs.
