Background: Baijiu is a very complex system and its flavor substances are endogenous, influenced by raw materials, starter, production process, production region and other factors. The production region directly affects the composition of flavor substances and quality of baijiu. However, identification of baijiu region is challenging because the corresponding relationship between the production region and baijiu quality is not clear, and the identification of regionalmarkers is indeterminate. In this study, the differences in volatile components of sauce-aroma style baijiu from four representative regions were investigated.
Results: A total of 94 volatile compounds were identified in samples tested. Additionally, it was verified that 35 potential flavor substances had important contributions to the aroma of sauce-aroma style baijiu. Meanwhile, nine potential regionalmarkers were screened through multivariate analysis. Further, based on distribution of volatile compounds and the results of sensory evaluation combined with multivariate analysis, a molecular matrix and correlation network were established according to the results of addition experiments, which showed that six substances had a significant impact on the flavor of the tested samples.
Conclusion: Six key flavor substances (ethyl octanoate, ethyl 2-methylpropanoate, propyl acetate, ethyl heptanoate, 2-nonanone and butyl hexanoate) were considered as important regionalmarkers to effectively identify the production region of sauce-aroma style baijiu. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Sauce-aroma Baijiu is a distilled Baijiu well-known in China, and features a unique sauce-aroma style formed by a complex producing process in a specific geographical environment. However, there are few comprehensive reviews of the factors influencing the formation of its flavor. To this end, reviews are hereby carried out over factors including different components in brewing raw materials, geographical environment of Baijiu production, brewing technology including the production of high-temperature Daqu and the brewing process, storage technology including the type of storage containers, storage time and storage temperature involved in the production of Sauce-aroma Baijiu.

Endogenous peptides in Chinese baijiu have been recently reported. However, little information is available on their correlation with the main flavor substances. One hundred and forty-six peptides, consisting of more bitter amino acids and key amino acids responsible for bioactivity, were identified in tail liquor using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Maotai liquor is a typical representative of sauce aroma-style flavor liquors and has been considered to be a precious cultural heritage of the oriental spirit culture. Aroma components are largely responsible for the characteristic aroma of liquor. Pyrazine compound is one of the most important categories of aroma components that affect the flavor of Maotai liquor.

Chinese liquor is one of the world's oldest distilled alcoholic beverages and an important commercial fermented product in China. The Chinese liquor fermentation process has three stages: making (the starter), stacking fermentation on the ground, and liquor fermentation in pits. We investigated the bacterial diversity of Maotai and Guotai and liquor fermentation using high-throughput sequencing of the V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene.
