This research investigated the presence of Burkholderia gladioli pathovar cocovenenans (BGC) in wet rice and starch products, Tremella , and Auricularia auricula in Guangzhou, China. It examined BGC growth and bongkrekic acid (BA) production in wet rice noodles and vermicelli with varying rice flour, edible starch ratios, and oil concentrations. A qualitative analysis of 482 samples revealed a detection rate of 0.62%, with three positive for BGC. Rice flour-based wet rice noodles had BA concentrations of 13.67 ± 0.64 mg/kg, 2.92 times higher than 100% corn starch samples (4.68 ± 0.54 mg/kg). Wet rice noodles with 4% soybean oil had a BA concentration of 31.72 ± 9.41 mg/kg, 5.74 times higher than those without soybean oil (5.53 ± 1.23 mg/kg). The BA concentration correlated positively ( r = 0.707, P < 0.05) with BGC contamination levels. Low temperatures (4 °C and −18 °C) inhibited BGC growth and BA production, while higher storage temperatures (26 °C and 32 °C) promoted BGC proliferation and increased BA production. Reducing edible oil use and increasing edible starch can mitigate the risk of BGC-related food poisoning in wet rice noodles and vermicelli production. Further research is needed to find alternative oils that do not enhance BA production. Strengthening prevention and control measures is crucial across the entire production chain to address BGC contamination and BA production.
Non-targeted metabolomics was employed to analyze metabolites in wet rice noodles fermented by Burkholderia gladioli pv. cocovenenans (BGC) to explore the potential formation of bongkrekic acid (BA). Three groups were incubated for 72 h: the pathogenic strain BGC 83756-inoculated group, the non-pathogenic strain Burkholderia gladioli (BG) 10574-inoculated group, and a blank control (BK) group. Metabolite dynamics were monitored using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS/MS). BA was not detected in either the BK group or the BG 10574-fermented group during incubation. In contrast, BA was first detected in the BGC 83756-inoculated group at 16 h of fermentation and reached a concentration of approximately 4,800 μg/kg in the late stages of culture. A total of 723 and 606 metabolites were identified in negative and positive ion modes, respectively. Differential metabolites, including BA, α-dimorphecolic acid, and calystegine B 5 , were significantly upregulated in the BGC 83756-fermented group compared to the BG 10574-fermented group. Conversely, sinapic acid, saccharopine, 2-methylbutyrylglycine, and 2-keto-6-acetamidocaproate were significantly downregulated. The non-targeted metabolomics analysis of the BA biosynthetic pathway generally aligned with the bon gene cluster predictions, except for β-branching events.
