Noni (Morinda citrifoliaL.) has been recognized as an important herb for treating various physiological disorders worldwide. Fermented noni fruit juice, established as a novel food in European Union, is the most important noni product. However, the structure, functions and enzyme profiles of microbiome during fermentation remain unclear. The metatranscriptomic was used to comprehensively explore the active microbial community and key metabolic function.Acetobactersp.,Acetobacter acetiandGluconobactersp. were the major microorganisms and appeared in succession during fermentation. According to principal components analysis (PCA) of metabolism-related unigenes by KEGG database, the fermentation process was divided into three stages and almost completed at the end of the second stage. Furthermore, carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) and the expression of key enzymes in major metabolic pathways were analyzed systematically. Analysis by HS-SPME-GC–MS and odor active value (OAV) revealed that butanoic acid and hexanoic acid were the main volatile compounds for the unpleasant odor of fermented noni fruit juice. The microbiome in the fermentation process lacked key enzymes that degrade butanoic acid and hexanoic acid, which imparted rancid and sweat odor. This study provides theoretical basis for product improvement and new product development, thus promoting the development of noni food industry.
