Yi traditional fermented foods have a profound historical and cultural background, with significant ethnic characteristics. As a case in point, Yi traditional fermented liquor is typically prepared using local plants or traditional Chinese herbs as fermentation substrates and undergoes a lengthy fermentation process, resulting in a fermented beverage that is reputed to have beneficial effects on human health. These foods are not only characterised by a distinctive flavor profile, but are also perceived to possess certain health benefits in the context of traditional ethnic medicine and wellness practiceFood chemistry: X102016https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC11629247biostudies-literatureIntegrated microbiomic and metabolomic dynamics of Yi traditional fermented liquor.PMC11629247Tian JWu JLi YZhu ZFan YLi SLiang HHu JWei QMu ZYang CfalseIntegrated microbiomic and metabolomic dynamics of Yi traditional fermented liquor.This study examines the microbial community composition, metabolite characteristics, and the relationship between the two during the fermentation process of Yi traditional fermented liquor.
