Analysis of the formation mechanism of volatile and non-volatile flavor substances in corn wine fermentation based on high-throughput sequencing and metabolomics.

The purpose of this study was to reveal the relationship between core microorganisms and flavor substances in the fermentation process of corn wine. Microbial diversity, volatile and non-volatile flavor substances were detected by high-throughput sequencing (HTS), headspace solid phase micro-extraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS) and gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS). High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect organic acids in corn wine fermentation, and its physiochemical properties were tracked.

Multi-scale hybrid spherical graphite composites: a light weight thermal interface material with high thermal conductivity and simple processing technology.

In consideration of low density and high intrinsic thermal conductivity, spherical graphite powders can act as promising fillers for light weight thermal interface materials. Herein, spherical artificial graphite derived composites exhibit a similar thermal conductivity and significantly reduced bulk density compared with traditional AlO-derived composites. Further, based on the particle packing theory, an innovatively optimized calculation method has been proposed by introducing the quadratic programming method into the traditional calculation method to acquire the optimum formulation of multi-scale spherical graphite particles.
