Objective To explore the bacterial community composition and abundance, as well as inter-sample variations in species composition and community structure in commercially available peanut butter and sesame paste sold in Yunnan Province using 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Methods A total of 160 samples encompassing best-selling peanut butter, sesame paste, and mixed spreads from Yunnan Province were subjected to 16S rRNA V4 region amplicon sequencing. Subsequent analyses included species composition profiling, abundance clustering, phylogenetic relationships, and diversity assessments. Results Characteristic sequence analysis revealed that sesame paste contained the highest number of characteristic sequences, followed by peanut butter, while mixed paste had the least. Bacterial community composition analysis indicated that these unique sequences predominantly belonged to the phyla Proteobacteria, Cyanobacteria and Firmicutes. At the genus level, the top 35 identified genera included Listeria, Escherichia-Shigella, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Bacillus, Vibrio, Streptococcus, Pseudomonas and Aeromonas. α diversity analysis demonstrated significant differences in species diversity between peanut butter and sesame paste (P<0.05). Conclusion Distinct bacterial compositions are observed among peanut butter, sesame paste, and mixed spreads, with sesame paste exhibiting the highest species abundance. Among the top 35 identified genera, 12 are known to include pathogenic species, posing potential food safety risks. It is imperative for manufacturers and regulatory authorities to address these concerns to ensure consumer safety. This study provides a reference for food safety regulatory authorities and offered important data support for the establishment of microbiological safety standards for nut butter products.
