Ethyl carbamate (EC) is a group 2A carcinogen generated from a few precursors in many fermented foods and alcoholic beverages. Citrulline, urea, carbamoyl phosphate, and ethanol are common precursors detected in fermented foods. In this study, citrulline was proved to be the main EC precursor in soy sauce, which was found to be accumulated in moromi mash period and correlated with the utilization of arginine by koji bacteria. Six koji isolates belonging to three genera were identified to be able to accumulate citrulline via the arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway. Among these strains, onlyPediococcus acidilacticiretained high activities in synthesis and accumulation of citrulline in the presence of high concentration of sodium chloride. These results suggested thatP.acidilacticiis responsible for the accumulation of citrulline, one of the EC precursors, in the process of soy sauce fermentation.
