This study systematically explored the effects of the sequential inoculation strategy of probiotic strains (Lactobacillus plantarum JYLP-326, Lactococcus lactis JYLL-60, and Bifidobacterium lactis JYBR-190) on the physicochemical properties and bioactive components of fermented blueberry juice (FBJ). The multi-stage fermentation experiments indicated that the inoculation sequence of the strains significantly affected the key physicochemical indicators, including color properties, pH value, and titratable acidity, and differentially regulated the retention of bioactive substances. Metabolomics analysis based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) identified a total of 868 polyphenol metabolites, mainly flavonoids (47.0%) and phenolic acids (33.4%). Sequential fermentation differentially enhances the antioxidant capacity of fruit juice by specifically regulating the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) through strains. Among them, the CAB inoculation sequence (Bifidobacterium lactis JYBR-190 - Lactobacillus plantarum JYLP-326 - Lactococcus lactis JYLL-60) showed the best anthocyanin retention effect. These findings highlight the crucial role of inoculation sequence in metabolite regulation and establish CAB sequential fermentation as the highly favorable strategy for enhancing the nutritional value of blueberry juice, such as optimizing the phenolic profile and strengthening antioxidant activity. This research provides a new theoretical basis and technical support for the development of functional fermented blueberry beverages driven by the probiotic sequence.
