A review on flavor of Baijiu and other world-renowned distilled liquors.

ABSTRACT: The flavor characteristics of distilled liquors significantly affect consumer acceptance and adoption. Therefore, odorants that contribute to sensory properties have received more attention. The odorants depend on the operating parameters, such as raw materials and ingredients, manufacturing process and maturing circumstances. This review summarized the odorants in the Baijiu and other world-renowned distilled liquors. Especially, the contribution of the odorants to the dominant aroma attributes is given more attention. The variations in the constituents and contents of odorants among the liquors are discussed comprehensively. In general, further research is still needed on the interaction mechanism between the odorants and sensory properties of distilled liquors.

Streamlined approach for careful and exhaustive aroma characterization of aged distilled liquors.

Project description:Solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) is considered to be the best overall method to produce a "clean" aroma extract to avoid the loss of labile aroma compounds or the formation of thermally generated artifacts during gas chromatographic (GC) analysis. However, SAFE is both time consuming and labor intensive, especially when applied repeatedly for quantitation by stable isotope dilution analysis (SIDA), which requires the addition of isotopes within specific mass ratio ranges relative to target analytes. The streamlined approach described herein allows for accurate quantitation of odor-active components in liquor products with a single SAFE operation. The quantitative results achieved by this method are nearly identical for most odor-active components, except for specific semi-volatile constituents not recovered well by SAFE (e.g., vanillin and syringaldehyde in oak-aged liquors). The streamlined approach provides a simple and convenient way to expedite the careful and exhaustive study of the flavor chemistry of aged liquors.

Evaluating and forecasting the associated main flavor components in Baijiu (Chinese distilled spirits) with alcohol metabolism and hangover symptoms through mice acute withdrawal model.

Project description:Over the past few decades, more alcohol-problem concerns focused on reducing the risk of hangover caused by the alcoholic beverages over-consumption. Chinese distilled spirits (Baijiu) is one of the most favorite alcoholic beverages. The intention of this study is to explore the associations of main flavor components in Baijiu and hangover symptoms using mice acute alcohol withdrawal model. The behaviors of each mouse were assessed by open-field tests using separate groups of mice with the treatment of sauce-aroma Baijiu, light-aroma Baijiu, strong-aroma Baijiu, pure alcohol, and distilled water, respectively. The behavioral data including total move distance and immobile time were used as indicators for the evaluation of the liquor intoxicating effects. Alcohol and acetaldehyde concentrations in mice plasma and the neurotransmitter contents of GABA and Glu in mice cerebellum were detected afterward. The results showed that the mice with the treatment of Baijiu samples displayed unusual exciting behaviors including increased alcohol metabolization with alleviating drunken and hangover symptoms, compared with that of pure alcohol control groups after 2-4 h. Moreover, the sauce-aroma Baijiu treatment group showed lessening intoxicated symptoms than those of light-aroma Baijiu and strong-aroma Baijiu. In addition, there were significant differences between Baijiu and pure alcohol treatment groups at the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABAergic levels and its receptor GABA-AR1 activating levels in the mice neuron cells. Furthermore, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) analysis inferred that the flavor compounds acetic acid, ethyl acetate, ethyl lactate, and 1-propanol in the sauce-aroma Baijiu were played the major roles in the drunk behaviors that caused by the hangover. While, the acetic acid in the sauce-aroma Baijiu was speculated as a major flavor component to accelerate the alcohol metabolism and retard hangover symptoms.

Spatial heterogeneity of microbiota and flavor across different rounds of sauce-flavor baijiu in Northern China.

Project description:Sauce-flavor baijiu (SFB) is a traditional Chinese distilled liquor crafted through a distinctive brewing process, involving seven rounds of stack fermentation (SF) and pit fermentation (PF). To date, there remains a knowledge gap regarding the microbial succession and flavor throughout all rounds of SFB with distinctive northern characteristics. Through LEfSe analysis, Saccharopolyspora, Virgibacillus, Thermoascus and Thermomyces, and Lactobacillus and Issatchenkia were found to be the most differentially representative genera in SF and PF, respectively. A total of 93 volatile flavor compounds were found in base baijius through the gas-chromatography mass spectrometry. Moreover, 29 volatile flavor substances with significant difference in base baijius of different rounds were revealed using the OPLS-DA model and VIP values and Spearman correlation analysis shows that bacteria have a greater impact on differential flavor compounds than fungi. This study provides a new perspective and insight into the brewing of northern SFB.

Changes in flavor profile of sauce-flavor baijiu: Perceptual interactions between 1-propanol and aroma compounds.

Project description:1-Propanol is an important aroma compound in sauce-flavor Baijiu. However, the mechanism by which it affects the aroma of sauce-flavor Baijiu has not been fully investigated. In this study, an instrumental and perceptual analysis was employed to assess the impact of 1-propanol on the flavor and volatile compounds in sauce-flavor Baijiu. The combination of sensory evaluation and electronic tongue analysis revealed that 1-propanol diminished the floral and fruity flavor and increased the bitterness and astringency. According to SHS/GC-MS analysis, 1-propanol mainly inhibited the volatility of ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl valerate, and ethyl hexanoate. Further, the Feller additive model and odor activity value method confirmed the four binary mixtures formed by 1-propanol and four esters had masking effects. Finally, the partition coefficients were calculated to clarify the relationship between volatility and interaction of compounds.

Sensory Lexicon Construction and Quantitative Descriptive Analysis of Jiang-Flavor Baijiu.

Project description:Jiang-flavor Baijiu (JFB) is one of the most complex and representative types of traditional Chinese liquor, known for its unique flavor, which is popular among Chinese consumers. Previous studies primarily focused on detecting and identifying volatile compounds but lacked comprehensive descriptions and precise differentiation of their sensory qualities. To explore the sensory characteristics of JFB, this study collected widely recognized sensory descriptors from literature, standards, free descriptive questionnaires, and Pivot Profile experiments, which were then textually analyzed and merged to yield 88 sensory descriptors. M-value and multivariate statistical methods were then used to narrow these down to 35 sensory descriptors, for which corresponding definitions and physical references were established, forming a sensory lexicon for JFB. A quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) was performed on JFB samples using the sensory lexicon. To ensure the reliability of the analysis, the panel's performance was also evaluated. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), radar plots, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) demonstrated that the established sensory lexicon accurately reflects the sensory profile of JFB and can be used to differentiate the sensory characteristics of samples from different price ranges or regions. This study opens new avenues for the standardization of quantitative descriptive analysis for JFB and provides a case study for constructing sensory lexicons for other types of Baijiu in China.

Bacterial Diversity, Organic Acid, and Flavor Analysis of Dacha and Ercha Fermented Grains of Fen Flavor Baijiu.

Project description:Fen flavor Baijiu needs two rounds of fermentation, which will obtain Dacha after initial fermentation and Ercha after secondary fermentation. The quality of Baijiu is closely related to the microbes within fermented grains. However, the bacterial diversity in Dacha and Ercha fermented grains of Fen flavor Baijiu has not been reported. In the present study, the structure and diversity of bacteria communities within fermented grains of Fen flavor Baijiu were analyzed and evaluated using MiSeq platform's HTS with a sequencing target of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Through the analysis of physical and chemical indexes and electronic senses, the relationship between bacterial flora, organic acid, taste, and aroma in fermented grains was clarified. The results indicated that Lactobacillus was the main bacteria in Dacha, and the mean relative content was 97.53%. The bacteria within Ercha samples were Pseudomonas and Bacillus, mean relative content was 37.16 and 28.02%, respectively. The diversity of bacterial communities in Ercha samples was significantly greater than that in Dacha samples. The correlation between Lactobacillus and organic acids, especially lactic acid, led to the difference between Dacha and Ercha organic acids, which also made the pH value of Dacha lower and the sour taste significantly higher than Ercha. Lactobacillus was significantly positively correlated with a variety of aromas, which made Dacha the response value of aromas higher. In addition, Bacillus had a significant positive correlation with bitterness and aromatic compounds, which led to a higher response value of bitterness in Ercha and made it present an aromatic aroma. This study provides an in-depth analysis of the difference between different stages of Fen flavor Baijiu, and theoretical support for the standard production and improvement in quality of Fen flavor Baijiu in the future.

Effect of Mixed Strains on Microbial Community and Flavor Metabolites in Fermentation Process of Chi-Flavor Baijiu.

Project description:The distinct flavor of chi-flavor baijiu (CFB) has garnered significant attention in China. After the optimization of fermentation conditions, Pichia anomala and Lactobacillus plantarum were introduced into the fermentation process to enhance the flavor. Samples inoculated with these mixed strains (SY) exhibited higher levels of alcohol (from 33.04 to 178.55 mg/L) and esters (from 49.51 to 130.20 mg/L) compared to the control group (KB). In SY, P. anomala and L. plantarum were the predominant microorganisms, while Pediococcus and Saccharomyces were more prevalent in KB. Moreover, 68 volatile flavor compounds were detected in SY, as opposed to 64 in KB. Notably, Pichia showed a positive correlation with key flavor compounds. The synergistic fermentation with exogenous strains led to a 52.38% increase in phenethyl alcohol and a 4.91% increase in ethyl lactate. Additionally, the levels of other flavor compounds, like ethyl acetate, γ-nonanolactone, and (E)-2-octenal, also increased. The results demonstrated that the addition of P. anomala and L. plantarum to the fermentation process of CFB significantly increased the contents of flavor compounds. This research reveals valuable insights into flavor enhancement and the microbial community dynamics in CFB production.
