Elucidating core microbiota in yellow wine (Huangjiu) through flavor-oriented synthesis and construction of microbial communities.

Huangjiu, a traditional Chinese alcoholic beverage with a history spanning thousands of years, holds significant cultural and economic value in China. Despite its importance, the complexity of Huangjiu fermentation and the intricate interactions within its microbial community remain underexplored. This study addresses this gap by identifying the core volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and key microorganisms that define the flavor profile of Huangjiu.

Impact of Bacillus subtilis on Chinese yellow rice wine (Huangjiu) fermentation: Method variations and flavor analysis.

This investigation explores the impact of various fermentation techniques and the inoculation of Bacillus subtilis spores on the physicochemical properties and principal flavor profiles of Huangjiu. Employing sensory analysis, headspace solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), we observed that these variables significantly alter the physicochemical attributes of Huangjiu. Our analysis, integrating volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with odor activity values (OAV), revealed that while B.

Case study on the influence of serving temperature on the aroma release and perception of Huangjiu, a fermented alcoholic beverage.

Serving temperature plays a crucial role in influencing the sensory experience of consumers. In this context, this study investigated the influence of serving temperature on the aroma release and perception of a typical fermented alcoholic beverage named Huangjiu. A quantitative sensory description analysis was conducted, determining serving temperature significantly influenced the 17 sensory attributes in both semi-dry and semi-sweet Huangjiu.

Environmental factors drive microbial community succession in biofortified wheat Qu and its improvement on the quality of Chinese huangjiu.

Wheat Qu plays the role of saccharification fermentation, providing microorganisms and flavor in the fermentation of huangjiu, and the use of functional microorganisms to fortify wheat Qu is becoming increasingly popular. Yet, the mechanisms promoting microbial successions of wheat Qu remain unclear. In this study, we first correlated microbial community succession with physicochemical factors (moisture, temperature, acidity, glucoamylase and amylase) in inoculated raw wheat Qu (IRWQ) with Saccharopolyspora rosea.

Sensory-Guided Isolation, Identification, and Active Site Calculation of Novel Umami Peptides from Ethanol Precipitation Fractions of Fermented Grain Wine (Huangjiu).

Huangjiu is rich in low-molecular-weight peptides and has an umami taste. In order for its umami peptides to be discovered, huangjiu was subjected to ultrafiltration, ethanol precipitation, and macroporous resin purification processes. The target fractions were gathered according to sensory evaluation.

Impact of Aging Microbiome on Metabolic Profile of Natural Aging Huangjiu through Machine Learning.

Aging is a time-consuming step in the manufacturing of fermented alcoholic beverages. Natural-aging huangjiu sealed in pottery jars was taken as an example to investigate the changes of physiochemical indexes during aging and to quantify intercorrelations between aging-related factors and metabolites through machine learning methods. Machine learning models provided significant predictions for 86% of metabolites.

Complete genome sequence, metabolic model construction, and application of A22, a thermophilic, high amylase and glucoamylase actinomycetes.

A strain with high amylase and glucoamylase activities was isolated from wheat and identified as () A22. We initially reported the whole genome sequence of A22, which comprised a circular chromosome 6,562,638 bp in size with a GC content of 71.

Safety evaluation and comparative genomics analysis of the industrial strain Aspergillus flavus SU-16 used for huangjiu brewing.

Huangjiu is a popular Chinese traditional alcoholic beverage, while its brewing processes have rarely been explored. We herein report the first gapless, near-finished genome assembly of the industrial strain Aspergillus flavus SU-16 for huangjiu brewing. This work provides insights and supports for the further industrial applications of A.

Developing an innovative raw wheat Qu inoculated with Saccharopolyspora and its application in Huangjiu.

Background: Mechanized Huangjiu is a stable product, is not subject to seasonal production restrictions, and markedly reduces labor intensity compared to traditional manual Huangjiu. However, the bitterness of mechanized Huangjiu impedes its further development.

Results: Based on process optimization, when the fermentation temperature was 45 °C and the fermentation time was 122 h, the inoculation amount of Saccharopolyspora was 5%, the amount of added water was 26%, and the glucoamylase and amylase activities of wheat Qu increased by 27% and 40% respectively, compared with those before optimization.

Non-Alcoholic Components in Huangjiu as Potential Factors Regulating the Intestinal Barrier and Gut Microbiota in Mouse Model of Alcoholic Liver Injury.

Different alcoholic beverages and drinking patterns might exert divergent impacts on alcoholic liver disease (ALD) progression. Whether the abundant non-alcoholic components (NAC) in fermented wine could alleviate ethanol (EtOH)-induced adverse influences on the liver remains unknown. Hence, the chronic ALD mouse model was established to compare the effects of Huangjiu (a typical fermented wine) and EtOH feeding on the liver, intestinal barrier, gut microbiota, and intestinal short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content.

Metagenomics-based insights into the microbial community profiling and flavor development potentiality of baijiu Daqu and huangjiu wheat Qu.

Daqu and wheat Qu are saccharification and fermenting agents in Chinese huangjiu and baijiu production. This study aimed to investigate the difference between Daqu and wheat Qu in physicochemical indices, microbial communities, functional genes, and the metabolic network of key microbes responsible for flavor synthesis by whole-metagenome sequencing and metabolite analysis. Herein, physicochemical indices indicated that compared with wheat Qu, Daqu exhibited higher protease and cellulase activity and acidity, and lower glucoamylase and amylase enzyme activity.
