To enhance the aromas in Guangdong rice-flavor Baijiu, ester-producing yeast was selected to fortify Baijiu brewing. Among eight kinds of ester-producing yeasts selected, CM15 (CM15) that showed both the stronger ability to utilize substrates to produce esters and the excellent tolerance to industrially relevant stress factors was chosen. When CM15 was synergistically fermented with six kinds of Kojis from distilleries of rice-flavor liquor in Guangdong, the enhanced total esters had happened to the liquors brewing with the fortified four kinds of Kojis, especially with Koji F. When Koji F was fortified with CM15, the resultant Baijiu showed a higher esters proportion and a lower higher alcohol ratio than that of Baijiu brewed only with Koji F, with the content of ethyl acetate and ethyl lactate increasing by 25% and 214%, respectively. This study suggested that CM15 can be used as a functional microorganism to fortify Baijiu brewing, which might also be suitable for other traditional fermented foods.

Ester-producing strains are of great importance for enhancing the quality and flavor profiles of alcoholic beverages. However, traditional methods for screening ester-producing strains are labor-intensive and time-consuming, significantly impeding the development of alcoholic beverages industry. In this study, we selected five brands of Jiuqu to cultivate within different media, results showed that XB (Jiuqu) incubated with malt extract medium possessed the highest ester-producing capability, with the identification of 27 esters at the concentration of 31.

Soy sauce, as a traditional seasoning, is widely favoured by Chinese and other Asian people for its unique colour, smell, and taste. In this study, a salt-tolerance strain HF-130 was obtained via three rounds of ARTP (Atmospheric and Room Temperature Plasma) mutagenesis and high-salt based screening. The ethanol production of mutant HF-130 was increased by 98.
