Abstract
Sequence-based analysis of fermented foods and beverages' microbiomes offers insights into their impact on taste and consumer health. High-throughput metagenomics provide detailed taxonomic and functional community profiling, but bacterial and yeast genome reconstruction and mobile genetic elements tracking are to be improved. We established a pipeline for exploring fermented foods microbiomes using metagenomics coupled with chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C metagenomics). The approach was applied to analyze a collection of spontaneously fermented beers and ciders (n = 12). The Hi-C reads were used to reconstruct the metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of bacteria and yeasts facilitating subsequent comparative genomic analysis, assembly scaffolding and exploration of "plasmid-bacteria" links. For a subset of beverages, yeasts were isolated and characterized phenotypically. The reconstructed Hi-C MAGs primarily belonged to the Lactobacillaceae family in beers, along with Acetobacteraceae and Enterobacteriaceae in ciders, exhibiting improved quality compared to conventional metagenomic MAGs. Comparative genomic analysis of Lactobacillaceae Hi-C MAGs revealed clustering by niche and suggested genetic determinants of survival and probiotic potential. For Pediococcus damnosus, Hi-C-based networks of contigs enabled linking bacteria with plasmids. Analyzing phylogeny and accessory genes in the context of known reference genomes offered insights into the niche specialization of beer lactobacilli. The subspecies-level diversity of cider Tatumella spp. was disentangled using a Hi-C-based graph. We obtained highly complete yeast Hi-C MAGs primarily represented by Brettanomyces and Saccharomyces, with Hi-C-facilitated chromosome-level genome assembly for the former. Utilizing Hi-C metagenomics to unravel the genomic content of individual species can provide a deeper understanding of the ecological interactions within the food microbiome, aid in bioprospecting beneficial microorganisms, improving quality control and improving innovative fermented products.

Abstract
Gas mixtures are comprised of numerous complex components, making the accurate identification a continuing challenge due to the significant limitations of existing detection methods. Herein, we developed a low-cost and sensitive pattern-based colorimetric sensor array chip for the identification of typical gas mixtures - Baijiu aroma. Specifically, three nanomaterials (AuNPs, MoS2 and ZIF-8) were prepared to adsorb gas molecules and enhance the reaction of trace gases with sensor arrays. The colorimetric sensor array chip took only 5 min to complete the recognition of Baijiu aromas and effectively avoided recognition errors caused by sommelier olfactory fatigue. Notably, the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) revealed no confusion or errors in the results of 80 tests across the five trials involving 16 commercial Baijius. Even fake Baijius with similar ingredients could be easily identified, demonstrating the excellent analytical capabilities of the system in Baijiu identification and its significant potential for quality control of Baijius.

Abstract
Workshop with different fermentation years plays an essential role in the yield and quality of Baijiu. In actual production, the quality of base Baijiu in newly built workshop is inferior to the older one. In this study, the microbiota of workshop environment and fermentation process from two workshops namely N (ferment 2 years) and O (ferment 20 years) and flavor compounds were studied during Xiasha round. Results showed workshop O accumulated more environmental microorganisms and fungi including P. kudriavzevii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus and Saccharomyces sp mainly came from ground. Yeasts including Pichia, Cyberlindnera, Wickerhamomyces and Candida were responsible for flavor substances formation in O while Saccharopolyspora was in N. This study for the first time explored the reasons for the brewing differences among N and O workshop from perspectives of workshop environment, microbial community and flavor substances, providing new ideas for guiding production as well as improvement of Baijiu quality.

Abstract
Mead is a fermented alcoholic beverage produced by yeast action on a diluted solution of honey. In this study, for the first time, sensory acceptance, purchase intention and color parameters of potentially probiotic mead with Saccharomyces boulardii were evaluated. The mead with S. boulardii presented yeast counts higher than 106 CFU/mL, being considered potentially probiotic, and tended to be yellow in color. About 160 tasters participated in the sensory evaluation, and 69.38% knew mead, but only 35.62% had tried the beverage. In terms of acceptance, the mead were within the acceptable range (above 5), and F2 (with initial soluble solids of 30° Brix and S. boulardii concentration of 0.030 g/L) was the most accepted, with an overall average of 7.63 ± 1.42 on the nine-point hedonic scale. In addition, F2 presented the highest purchase intention. In conclusion, the mead showed a tendency towards the color yellow and good sensory acceptance.

Abstract
High-temperature Daqu (HTD) is the starter for producing sauce-flavor Baijiu, with different-colored Daqu (white, yellow, and black) reflecting variations in fermentation chamber conditions, chemical reactions, and associated microbiota. Understanding the relationship between Daqu characteristics and flavor/taste is challenging yet vital for improving Baijiu fermentation. This study utilized metagenomic sequencing, physicochemical analysis, and electronic sensory evaluation to compare three different-colored HTD and their roles in fermentation. Fungi and bacteria dominated the HTD-associated microbiota, with fungi increasing as the fermentation temperature rose. The major fungal genera were Aspergillus (40.17%) and Kroppenstedtia (21.16%), with Aspergillus chevalieri (25.65%) and Kroppenstedtia eburnean (21.07%) as prevalent species. Microbial communities, functionality, and physicochemical properties, particularly taste and flavor, were color-specific in HTD. Interestingly, the microbial communities in different-colored HTDs demonstrated robust functional complementarity. White Daqu exhibited non-significantly higher α-diversity compared to the other two Daqu. It played a crucial role in breaking down substrates such as starch, proteins, hyaluronic acid, and glucan, contributing to flavor precursor synthesis. Yellow Daqu, which experienced intermediate temperature and humidity, demonstrated good esterification capacity and a milder taste profile. Black Daqu efficiently broke down raw materials, especially complex polysaccharides, but had inferior flavor and taste. Notably, large within-group variations in physicochemical quality and microbial composition were observed, highlighting limitations in color-based HTD quality assessment. Water content in HTD was associated with Daqu flavor, implicating its crucial role. This study revealed the complementary roles of the three HTD types in sauce-flavor Baijiu fermentation, providing valuable insights for product enhancement.

Abstract
Kombucha is a unique fermented beverage made from a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacteria. Kombucha is normally based on black tea added to water, then sugar is added as a substrate for fermentation in this beverage. This unique beverage is composed of amino acids, flavonoids, vitamins, and some active enzymes. Several beneficial health effects such as antioxidant, antimicrobial effects have been reported as a result of probiotics and prebiotics presence. These health effects of kombucha are attributed to its bioactive chemical and biological agents of probiotics bacteria e.g., Gluconobacter, Acetobacter and yeasts like Saccharomyces sps., along with glucuronic acid as the main sources of the health protection. This review focuses on the beneficial effects of Kombucha including antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-cancer antidiabetic properties, as well as liver protection, treat of gastrointestinal problems, AIDS, gastric ulcers, obesity (and energy production), detoxification, and skin health.

Abstract
Beer has over 600 flavor compounds and creates a positive tasting experience with acceptable sensory properties, which are essential for the best consumer experience. Spontaneous and mixed-culture fermentation beers, generally classified as sour beers, are gaining popularity compared to typical lager or ale styles, which have dominated in the USA for the last few decades. Unique and acceptable flavor compounds characterize sour beers, but some unfavorable aspects appear in conjunction. One such unfavorable flavor is called "mousy". This description is usually labeled as an unpleasant odor, identifying spoilage of fermented food and beverages. It is related as having the odor of mouse urine, cereal, corn tortilla chips, or freshly baked sour bread. The main compounds responsible for it are N-heterocyclic compounds: 2-acetyltetrahydropyridine, 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline, and 2-ethyltetrahydropyridine. The most common beverages associated with mousy off-flavor are identified in wines, sour beers, other grain-based beverages, and kombucha, which may contain heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, and/or yeast/fungus cultures. In particular, the fungal species Brettanomyces bruxellensis are associated with mousy-off flavor occurrence in fermented beverages matrices. However, many factors for N-heterocycle formation are not well-understood. Currently, the research and development of mixed-cultured beer and non/low alcohol beverages (NABLAB) has increased to obtain the highest quality, sensory, functionality, and most notably safety standards, and also to meet consumers' demand for a balanced sourness in these beverages. This paper introduces mousy off-flavor expression in beers and beverages, which occurs in spontaneous or mixed-culture fermentations, with a focus on sour beers due to common inconsistency aspects in fermentation. We discuss and suggest possible pathways of mousy off-flavor development in the beer matrix, which also apply to other fermented beverages, including non/low alcohol drinks, e.g., kombucha and low/nonalcohol beers. Some precautions and modifications may prevent the occurrence of these off-flavor compounds in the beverage matrix: improving raw material quality, adjusting brewing processes, and using specific strains of yeast and bacteria that are less likely to produce the off-flavor. Conceivably, it is clear that spontaneous and mixed culture fermentation is gaining popularity in industrial, craft, and home brewing. The review discusses important elements to identify and understand metabolic pathways, following the prevention of spoilage targeted to off-flavor compounds development in beers and NABLABs.

Abstract
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are essential raw materials for beer brewing, and the major contributors to beer bitterness are isohumulones (iso-α-acids) and humulinones. In recent years, many breweries have focused on the production of hop-forward beer styles by adding hops after or during the cold fermentation stage, which will tend to release humulinones or other hop-derived bitter compounds. In this study, a LC-MS/MS method was developed for quantification of 60 hop-derived bitter compounds in 25 min. Reverse-phase chromatography with an alkaline methanol/acetonitrile (70:30) mobile phase was used for the separation. The quantitative range was 0.053-3912 ng/mL with correlation coefficient r > 0.99, and the LOQ were 0.26 and 0.053 ng/mL for iso-α-acids and humulinones. Precision (RSD < 5.0%) and accuracy (recovery 86.3%-118.1%) were both satisfactory. The abundance of hop-derived bitter compounds in the dry-hopped beer (Double-India Pale Ale) and the nondry-hopped beer (Vienna Lager) were monitored throughout the fermentation and storage stages, and the formation of oxidation and cyclization products showed difference profiles between these two beers. The quantification results reveal how hop-derived bitter compounds change throughout the brewing process, as well as the influence of hops and brewing techniques on beer bitterness.

Abstract
Green tea has great potential to enhance the quality of beer. In this study, green tea was added at different stages of beer brewing, and evaluated the antioxidant capacity, volatile components, as well as sensory quality. The results showed that the addition of green tea during the start of boiling has great potential for application, and the green tea beer (GTB) had remarkable antioxidant properties (ABTS radical scavenging ability, 8.67 mmol TE/L; DPPH radical scavenging ability, 3.97 mmol TE/L; reducing power, 3.28 mmol TE/L), and an excellent sensory quality (acceptance, 6.09/9). HPLC analysis indicated that the principal phenolics in GTB were catechin and caffeic acid, in addition, the relative amounts of ferulic acid, gallic acid can be used to differentiate between GTB and beer. HS-SPME-GC-MS analyses showed that ethyl caprylate, ethyl nonanoate, ethyl caprate, linalool, and phenethyl alcohol were potentially significant for the aroma profile of GTB.

Abstract
The increasing popularity of home brewing and the fast evolution of craft beer companies have fuelled the interest in novel yeasts as the main actors diversifying the beer portfolio. Here, we have characterized the thermal tolerance and brewing-related features of two sourdough (SD) isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, SDy01 and SDy02, at different temperatures, 20 and 37 °C, comparing them with commercial brew strains, AaB and kNB. The SD strains exhibited tolerance to the main brewing-related stress conditions and increased growth rates and lower lag phases than the reference beer strains at both temperatures. Consistent with this, SDy01 and SDy02 displayed higher fermentative activity in terms of sugar rate depletion and the release of metabolic by-products. Moreover, SDy01 and SDy02 brewing at 20 °C increased their total amount of volatile compounds (VOCs), in particular, their esters and carboxyl compounds, as compared to the reference AaB strain. In contrast, fermentation at 37 °C resulted in a drastic reduction in the number of VOCs in wort fermented with SD yeast, especially in its level of esters. In conclusion, our results stress the high fermentative performance of SD strains in beer wort and their ability to provide a complex and specific aromatic profile at a wide range of temperatures.

Abstract
Consumer demand for plant cheeses is increasing, but challenges of improving both flavor and quality remain. This study investigated the microbiological and physicochemical impact of seed germination and fermentation with Bacillus velezensis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on the ripening of plant cheese analogs. Chlorine treatment or addition of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Lactococcus lactis controlled microbial growth during seed germination. Lp. plantarum and Lc. lactis also served as starter cultures for the acidification of soy and lupine milk and were subsequently present in the unripened plant cheese as dominant microbes. Acidification also inhibited the growth and metabolic activity of bacilli but Bacillus spores remained viable throughout ripening. During plant cheese ripening, Lc. lactis was inactivated before Lp. plantarum and the presence of bacilli during seed germination delayed Lc. lactis inactivation. Metagenomic sequencing of full-length 16S rRNA gene amplicons confirmed that the relative abundance of the inoculated strains in each ripened cheese sample exceeded 99%. Oligosaccharides including raffinose, stachyose, and verbascose were rapidly depleted in the initial stage of ripening. Both germination and the presence of bacilli during seed germination had impact on polysaccharide hydrolysis during ripening. Bacilli but not seed germination enhanced proteolysis of plant cheese during ripening. In conclusion, the use of germination with lactic acid bacteria in combination with Bacillus spp. exhibited the potential to improve the quality of ripened plant cheeses with a positive effect on the reduction of hygienic risks. IMPORTANCE The development of novel plant-based fermented food products for which no traditional templates exist requires the development of starter cultures. Although the principles of microbial flavor formation in plant-based analogs partially overlap with dairy fermentations, the composition of the raw materials and thus likely the selective pressure on the activity of starter cultures differs. Experiments that are described in this study explored the use of seed germination, the use of lactic acid bacteria, and the use of bacilli to reduce hygienic risks, to acidify plant milk, and to generate taste-active compounds through proteolysis and fermentative conversion of carbohydrates. The characterization of fermentation microbiota by culture-dependent and culture-independent methods also confirmed that the starter cultures used were able to control microbial communities throughout 90 d of ripening. Taken together, the results provide novel tools for the development of plant-based analogs of fermented dairy products.

Abstract
In order to monitor the Qingke beer brewing process in real time, this paper presents an analytical method for predicting the content of key components in the wort during the mashing and boiling stages using multi-spectroscopy combined with chemometrics. The results showed that the Neural Networks (NN) model based on Raman spectroscopy (RPD = 3.9727) and the NN model based on NIR spectroscopy (RPD = 5.1952) had the best prediction performance for the reducing sugar content in the mashing and boiling stages; The partial least Squares (PLS) model based on Raman spectroscopy (RPD = 2.7301) and the NN model based on Raman spectroscopy (RPD = 4.3892) predicted the content of free amino nitrogen best; The PLS model based on UV-Vis spectroscopy (RPD = 4.0412) and the NN model based on Raman spectroscopy (RPD = 4.0540) are most suitable for the quantitative analysis of total phenols. The results can be used as a guide for real-time control of wort quality in industrial production.

Abstract
The current study investigated the in vitro probiotic potential of yeast isolated from kombucha, a tea beverage fermented with a symbiotic culture of acetic acid bacteria and yeast. A total of 62 yeast strains were previously isolated from four different commercial kombucha samples sold in New Zealand. Fifteen representative isolates belonging to eight different species were evaluated for their growth under different conditions (temperature, low pH, concentrations of bile salts, and NaCl). Cell surface characteristics, functional and enzymatic activities of the selected strains were also studied in triplicate experiments. Results showed that six strains (Dekkera bruxellensis LBY1, Sachizosaccharomyces pombe LBY5, Hanseniaspora valbyensis DOY1, Brettanomyces anomalus DOY8, Pichia kudraivzevii GBY1, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae GBY2) were able to grow under low-acid conditions (at pH 2 and pH 3) and in the presence of bile salts. This suggests their potential to survive passage through the human gut. All 15 strains exhibited negative enzymatic activity reactions (haemolytic, gelatinase, phospholipase, and protease activities), and thus, they can be considered safe to consume. Notably, two of the fifteen strains (Pichia kudraivzevii GBY1 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae GBY2) exhibited desirable cell surface hydrophobicity (64.60-83.87%), auto-aggregation (>98%), co-aggregation, resistance to eight tested antibiotics (ampicillin, chloramphenicol, colistin sulphate, kanamycin, nalidixic acid, nitrofurantoin, streptomycin, and tetracycline), and high levels of antioxidant activities (>90%). Together, our data reveal the probiotic activities of two yeast strains GBY1 and GBY2 and their potential application in functional food production.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Baijiu is a well-known alcoholic beverage in China and the quality is determined by various microorganisms during the fermentation process. Yeast is one of the most important microorganisms in the fermentation of baijiu. It has a strong esterification capacity and also affects the aroma. RESULTS High-throughput sequencing results showed that the fermented grains (jiupei) during baijiu production were mainly composed of eight highly abundant yeast species. The species and abundance of yeasts changed significantly with the fermentation process. The flavor of 30 yeast strains in the jiupei was determined by a sniffing test and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The strain with the highest flavor substance content (2.34 mg L-1 ), named YX3205, was identified as Clavispora lusitaniae. Tolerance results showed that C. lusitaniae YX3205 can tolerate up to 15% (v v-1 ) ethanol. In a solid-state simulated fermentation experiment, the content of 24 flavor substances was significantly increased in the fortified group, and the total ester content reached 4240.73 μg kg-1 , which was 2.8 times higher than that of the control group. CONCLUSION The present study demonstrated the potential of C. lusitaniae YX3205 to enhance the flavor of baijiu, thereby serving as a valuable strain for the improvement of the flavor quality of baijiu. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
While acute inflammation is an essential physical response to harmful external influences, the transition to chronic inflammation is problematic and associated with the development and worsening of many deadly diseases. Until now, established pharmaceutical agents have had many side effects when used for long periods. In this study, a possible anti-inflammatory effect of the sesquiterpene α-humulene on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction was tested. Herein, human THP-1-derived macrophages were used and their pro-inflammatory interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) cytokine release was measured by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A dose-dependent effect of α-humulene on IL-6 release was observed at 0.5 and 100 µM α-humulene, with a maximum IL-6 inhibition of 60% compared to the LPS reference value after the addition of 100 µM α-humulene. TNF-α as well as IL-1β cytokine concentrations were not reduced by the addition of 0.5 and 100 µM α-humulene. This study suggests that α-humulene has potential as a promising natural alternative to established pharmaceuticals for the treatment of elevated IL-6 levels and chronic inflammation in humans.

Abstract
The production of alcoholic beverages is intrinsically linked to microbial activity. This is because microbes such as yeast are associated with the production of ethanol and key sensorial compounds that produce desirable qualities in fermented products. However, the brewing industry and other related sectors face a step-change in practice, primarily due to the growth in sales of no- and low-alcohol (NoLo) alternatives to traditional alcoholic products. Here we review the involvement of microbes across the brewing process, including both their positive contributions and their negative (spoilage) effects. We also discuss the opportunities for exploiting microbes for NoLo beer production, as well as the spoilage risks associated with these products. For the latter, we highlight differences in composition and process conditions between traditional and NoLo beers and discuss how these may impact the microbial ecosystem of each product stream in relation to microbiological stability and final beer quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hot trub is a macronutrient- and micronutrient-rich by-product generated in the brewing industry, which is still underrated as a raw material for reprocessing purposes. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the extraction of bitter acids' and xanthohumol from hot trub as well as identify the significance of parameters for the process. The research assessed various extraction parameters, such as pH, ethanol concentration, temperature, and solid-to-liquid ratio, using a Plackett-Burman design. RESULTS Ethanol concentration and pH were the most significant parameters affecting extraction yield. β-acids were found to be the principal components of the bitter acids, with a maximum concentration near 16 mg g-1 , followed by iso-α-acids and α-acids achieving 6 and 3.6 mg g-1 , respectively. The highest yields of bitter acids were observed in the highest ethanol concentration, while pH was relevant to extraction process in treatments with low ethanol ratios. Concerning the xanthohumol extraction, the approach achieved maximum concentration (239 μg g-1 ) in treatments with ethanol concentration above 30%. Despite their variances, the phytochemicals exhibited comparable extraction patterns, indicating similar interactions with macromolecules. Moreover, the characterization of the solid residues demonstrated that the extraction process did not bring about any alterations to the chemical and total protein profiles. CONCLUSION Ethanol concentration was found to have the most significant impact on the extraction of bitter acids and xanthohumol, while temperature had no significant effect. The solid remains resulting from the extraction showed potential for use as a protein source. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Background This paper brings new information about the genome and phenotypic characteristics of Pantoea agglomerans strain DBM 3797, isolated from fresh Czech hop (Humulus lupulus) in the Saaz hop-growing region. Although P. agglomerans strains are frequently isolated from different materials, there are not usually thoroughly characterized even if they have versatile metabolism and those isolated from plants may have a considerable potential for application in agriculture as a support culture for plant growth. Methods P. agglomerans DBM 3797 was cultured under aerobic and anaerobic conditions, its metabolites were analyzed by HPLC and it was tested for plant growth promotion abilities, such as phosphate solubilization, siderophore and indol-3-acetic acid productions. In addition, genomic DNA was extracted, sequenced and de novo assembly was performed. Further, genome annotation, pan-genome analysis and selected genome analyses, such as CRISPR arrays detection, antibiotic resistance and secondary metabolite genes identification were carried out. Results and discussion The typical appearance characteristics of the strain include the formation of symplasmata in submerged liquid culture and the formation of pale yellow colonies on agar. The genetic information of the strain (in total 4.8 Mb) is divided between a chromosome and two plasmids. The strain lacks any CRISPR-Cas system but is equipped with four restriction-modification systems. The phenotypic analysis focused on growth under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions, as well as traits associated with plant growth promotion. At both levels (genomic and phenotypic), the production of siderophores, indoleacetic acid-derived growth promoters, gluconic acid, and enzyme activities related to the degradation of complex organic compounds were found. Extracellular gluconic acid production under aerobic conditions (up to 8 g/l) is probably the result of glucose oxidation by the membrane-bound pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent enzyme glucose dehydrogenase. The strain has a number of properties potentially beneficial to the hop plant and its closest relatives include the strains also isolated from the aerial parts of plants, yet its safety profile needs to be addressed in follow-up research.

Abstract
In the current context of developing aromatic beers, our study aims at deciphering the chemical characterisation of cones from 39 wild hop genotypes collected in the North of France and replanted in an experimental hop farm, as well as 10 commercial and 3 heirloom varieties, using HS-SPME/GC-MS for the volatile compounds, UHPLC-UV for phenolic compound quantification, and UHPLC-IMS-HRMS for untargeted metabolomics. These analyses revealed a strong opposition between wild accessions and reference varieties, and an original chemical composition of some genotypes. 27 beers were produced with the same recipe, analysed by SBSE-GC-MS and evaluated by panellists. The unique difference relates to the hops to be assessed in order to determine their sensory profile. The different datasets were compared by OPLS-DA analysis in order to identify chemical markers which may influence the hop aromatic potential. Our results highlight the aromatic potential of some wild accessions, close to the commercial variety Cascade.

Abstract
Access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene in Chad's cities, especially N'Djamena, is a persistent and significant challenge. This study aimed to assess current practices in water, sanitation, and hygiene in N'Djamena's third and ninth districts. We surveyed 395 households, conducted water source identification, and analyzed seven water samples at the National Water Laboratory. Temperature, ammonium, total coliforms, and aerobic flora values exceeded World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Ammonium and temperature averaged 0.7 mg/L and 30.1-31.93 °C, respectively. Bacterial contamination (>100 MPN/100 mL) exceeded the WHO's 0 MPN/100 mL guidelines, rendering the water unfit for consumption. Survey results indicate that 78.7% use hand pumps, 21.1% have tap water access, and 0.2% rely on rivers for water. Regarding toilets, 92.8% have traditional models, 2.9% have modern facilities, and 4.3% practice open defecation. 95% dispose of untreated wastewater into nature, with only 5% using septic tanks. For solid waste, 72% use illegal dumpsites, 18% rely on public services, and 10% burn waste. Finally, 95.5% of households wash their hands with clean water and soap after using the toilet. It is crucial to treat drinking water and implement proper hygiene and sanitation measures to safeguard the population's health in the studied area.

Abstract
Long-term storage Baijiu has an appealing sensory property, yet the chemical makeup is rarely reported. This study investigated a 30-year-old Jiangxiangxing (JXX) Baijiu and recognized and measured 69 aroma compounds. 3-Methyl-2,4-nonanedione (2.76 μg/L), 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone (HDMF, 46.2 μg/L), 2-ethyl-4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone (HEMF, 61.7 μg/L), and piperitone (3.66 μg/L) were detected for the first time in Baijiu. Compared with 3-year-old JXX Baijiu, 24 compounds were significantly higher in the 30-year-old, mainly including furans, pyrazines, and aromatics. Notably, 4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone (sotolon), HDMF, HEMF, vanillin, acetovanillone, and alkyl pyrazines in 30-year-old JXX Baijiu were 2-7 times higher than those of a 3-year-old, and they increased steadily during aging for 3, 15, and 30 years, assumed to be associated with the aging aroma. Following 24 months of storing JXX Baijiu under different conditions, the pottery significantly promoted the synthesis of sotolon, HDMF, HEMF, and alkyl pyrazines. These findings suggest that pottery is a potential catalyst for enhancing aged Baijiu.

Abstract
Corrosion inhibition of mild steel (MS) was studied using Lachancea fermentati isolate in 0.5 M H2SO4, which was isolated from rotten grapes (Vitis vinifera) via biofilm formation. Biofilm over the MS surface was asserted by employing FT-IR and FE-SEM with EDXS, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), AFM, and DFT-ESP techniques. The weight loss experiments and temperature studies supported the physical adsorption behavior of the corrosion inhibitors. The maximum inhibition efficiency (IE) value (90%) was observed at 293 K for 9 × 106 cfu/mL of Lachancea fermentati isolate. The adsorption of Lachancea fermentati isolate on the surface of MS confirms Langmuir's adsorption isotherm model, and the -ΔG values indicate the spontaneous adsorption of inhibitor over the MS surface. Electrochemical studies, such as potentiodynamic polarization (PDP) and EIS were carried out to investigate the charge transfer (CT) reaction of the Lachancea fermentati isolate. Tafel polarization curves reveal that the Lachancea fermentati isolate acts as a mixed type of inhibitor. The Nyquist plots (EIS) indicate the increase in charge transfer resistance (Rct) and decrease of double-layer capacitance (Cdl) values when increasing the concentration of Lachancea fermentati isolate. The spectral studies, such as UV-vis and FT-IR, confirm the formation of a complex between MS and the Lachancea fermentati isolate inhibitor. The formation of biofilm on the MS surface was confirmed by FE-SEM, EDXS, and XPS analysis. The proposed bioinhibitor shows great potential for the corrosion inhibition of mild steel in acid media.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In drought periods, water use efficiency depends on the capacity of roots to extract water from deep soil. A semi-field phenotyping facility (RadiMax) was used to investigate above-ground and root traits in spring barley when grown under a water availability gradient. Above-ground traits included grain yield, grain protein concentration, grain nitrogen removal, and thousand kernel weight. Root traits were obtained through digital images measuring the root length at different depths. Two nearest-neighbor adjustments (M1 and M2) to model spatial variation were used for genetic parameter estimation and genomic prediction (GP). M1 and M2 used (co)variance structures and differed in the distance function to calculate between-neighbor correlations. M2 was the most developed adjustment, as accounted by the Euclidean distance between neighbors. RESULTS The estimated heritabilities ([Formula: see text]) ranged from low to medium for root and above-ground traits. The genetic coefficient of variation ([Formula: see text]) ranged from 3.2 to 7.0% for above-ground and 4.7 to 10.4% for root traits, indicating good breeding potential for the measured traits. The highest [Formula: see text] observed for root traits revealed that significant genetic change in root development can be achieved through selection. We studied the genotype-by-water availability interaction, but no relevant interaction effects were detected. GP was assessed using leave-one-line-out (LOO) cross-validation. The predictive ability (PA) estimated as the correlation between phenotypes corrected by fixed effects and genomic estimated breeding values ranged from 0.33 to 0.49 for above-ground and 0.15 to 0.27 for root traits, and no substantial variance inflation in predicted genetic effects was observed. Significant differences in PA were observed in favor of M2. CONCLUSIONS The significant [Formula: see text] and the accurate prediction of breeding values for above-ground and root traits revealed that developing genetically superior barley lines with improved root systems is possible. In addition, we found significant spatial variation in the experiment, highlighting the relevance of correctly accounting for spatial effects in statistical models. In this sense, the proposed nearest-neighbor adjustments are flexible approaches in terms of assumptions that can be useful for semi-field or field experiments.

Abstract
Sichuan Baoning vinegar, a typical representative of Sichuan bran vinegar, is a famous traditional fermented food made from cereals in China. At present, there are few studies on microbial characterization of culturable microorganisms in solid-state fermentation of Sichuan bran vinegar. To comprehensively understand the diversity of lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria and yeasts, which play an important role in the fermentation of Sichuan bran vinegar, traditional culture-dependent methods combined with morphological, biochemical, and molecular identification techniques were employed to screen and identify these isolates. A total of 34 lactic acid bacteria isolates, 39 acetic acid bacteria isolates, and 48 yeast isolates were obtained. Lactic acid bacteria were dominated by Enterococcus durans, Leuconostoc citreum, Lactococcus lactis, and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, respectively. Latilactobacillus sakei was the first discovery in cereal vinegar. Acetic acid bacteria were mainly Acetobacter pomorum and A. pasteurianus. The dominant yeast isolates were Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in addition to four non-Saccharomyces yeasts. DNA fingerprinting revealed that isolates belonging to the same species exhibited intraspecific diversity, and there were differences between phenotypic and genotypic classification results. This study further enriches studies on cereal vinegar and lays a foundation for the development of vinegar starters.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the core microbiota of kombucha and to discover potential correlations between microbiota and volatile flavor compounds. The total acidity and microbial colony numbers changed dramatically in different fermentation periods of kombucha. Microbial analysis based on high throughput sequencing technology showed that the bacteria of Komagataeibacter, Pseudomonas, Burkholderia, Ralstonia, Halomonas, Sphingomonas and fungi of Dekkera, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Botryotrichum, Monascus, Pichia were the dominant genera. In addition, the correlation coefficients between the bacteria and fungi were different. The volatile flavor compounds of alcohols, acids, esters, aldehydes, ketones, phenolics, and terpenes were identified using headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Typically, the concentrations of ethanol, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate was 71.59-248.23 μg/L, 97.73-849.00 μg/L, and 44.52-181.59 μg/L, respectively, during fermentation. This study is helpful to understand the dynamic changes of microbial communities and volatile flavor compounds during the fermentation of kombucha.

Abstract
This review covers the know-how of the Grupo de Química Analítica e Quimiometria regarding the analysis of fatty acids by capillary electrophoresis acquired over its 20 years of existence. Therefore, the fundamentals, advantages, and applications of this technique for analyzing different fatty acids in samples such as food, oils, cosmetics, and biological matrices are presented and discussed. Capillary electrophoresis is, thus, shown as an interesting and valuable separation technique for the target analysis of these analytes as an alternative to the gas chromatography coupled to flame ionization detection, as it offers advantages over the latter such as low analysis times, low sample and reagent consumption, the use of a nondedicated column, and simpler sample preparation. In addition, the methods shown in this literature review can be useful for quality control, adulteration, and health-related research by regulatory agencies.

Abstract
Belgian Saisons and Lambics are two well-known examples in the brewing industry of mixed fermentations, combination of two or more yeast and/or bacteria strains. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact different pitch rates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (traditional brewing yeast) and S. cerevisiae var. diastaticus (a variant associated with Belgian styles) had on the fermentation kinetics and concentration of the volatile compounds in the finished beers. A series of brews were performed utilizing ratios of S. cerevisiae and diastaticus. The fermentations were heavily monitored, and a model was used to fit fermentation variables. It was found that mixed fermentations produced behaviors that were predictable and proportional to the mixture ratios. As expected, the pure cultural fermentations of diastaticus had a slower fermentation midpoint (M) at 45.45 h versus 28.28 h for S. cerevisiae with the mixed ones falling in between the two. Flavor and aroma play a key role in the acceptability of beer. The mixed fermentations showed a combination of the two different yeast strains aromatic profiles. When combined, there was a strong linearity between alcohols (R2 = 0.94), esters (R2 = 0.89), and the overall total (R2 = 0.91) volatile compounds. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Modeling is a widely utilized tool in several different fields. The purpose of this research is to apply modeling techniques to describe the fermentation speed and flavor profile of a mixed fermentation between S. cerevisiae and diastaticus. The equations from this data can be used by brewers for product development purposes to make beers with certain flavor profiles within a desired timeframe.

Abstract
Probiotic-enriched beers have emerged as an innovative solution for delivering beneficial microorganisms, particularly appealing to consumers seeking non-dairy options. However, navigating the complex beer environment presents challenges in effectively cultivating specific probiotic strains. This review aims to promote innovation and distinctiveness within the brewing industry by providing insights into current research on the integration of probiotic microorganisms into beer production, thereby creating a functional beverage. The review explores the effects of probiotic incorporation on the functional, technological, and sensory attributes of beer, distinguishing contributions from bacterial and yeast, as well as potential health benefits. Probiotic microorganisms encounter hurdles during beer production, including ethanol, hops, CO2 levels, pH, oxygen, and nutrients. Ethanol tolerance mechanisms vary among bacteria and yeasts, with specific lactic acid bacteria showing resistance to hop compounds. Hops, crucial for beer categorization, exert a timing-dependent impact on probiotics-early isomerization impedes growth, while late additions yield non-isomerized antibacterial properties. Effective probiotic integration necessitates precise post-fermentation addition stages to ensure viability and flavor. The sensory impact and consumer reception of probiotic-enriched beers require further exploration. Probiotics must endure storage conditions to qualify as functional beer, while limited research investigates health advantages, urging enhanced production techniques, sensory optimization, and clinical validation.

Abstract
Hops (Humulus lupulus L.) are essential ingredients in brewing, contributing to beer's flavor, aroma, and stability. This study pioneers an in-depth analysis of the 'Callista' cultivar, aiming to unravel how harvest timing, annual variations, and cultivation location synergistically influence its molecular profile, sensory perception, and biochemistry. Leveraging high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-olfactometry, we identified significant year-to-year and location-based fluctuations in bitter acids-the quintessential aroma constituents in hops. Our comprehensive aroma profiling discerned 55 volatile compounds, marking the first-ever sensory detection of 2-butanone in hops, with its presence showing remarkable interannual variability. This study showed significant differences among the three years tested, whereas hops were perceived "fruitier" and more "citrusy" in 2021, even though the bitter acid and aroma analysis showed that 2022 sticks out due to extremely high lupulone values up to 10% dry cone weight and 78% β-myrcene in the oil fraction compared to 60% and 45% in 2020 and 2021, respectively. Molecular analysis of key enzymes involved in hop aroma biosynthesis revealed no significant associations with location, but a strong diurnal pattern for all genes. The results indicated that especially the hot temperatures of 2022 may have induced significant changes of cone quality, while 2021 was more interesting from the sensory evaluations, which may justify the usage of viticultural terms such as "vintage" for hop marketing. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing hop aroma and quality.

Abstract
The flavor characteristics of distilled liquors significantly affect consumer acceptance and adoption. Therefore, odorants that contribute to sensory properties have received more attention. The odorants depend on the operating parameters, such as raw materials and ingredients, manufacturing process and maturing circumstances. This review summarized the odorants in the Baijiu and other world-renowned distilled liquors. Especially, the contribution of the odorants to the dominant aroma attributes is given more attention. The variations in the constituents and contents of odorants among the liquors are discussed comprehensively. In general, further research is still needed on the interaction mechanism between the odorants and sensory properties of distilled liquors.

Abstract
Chinese steamed bread (CSB) made with commercial yeasts and traditional Chinese sourdoughs was analyzed for the flavor and microbial communities. Sensory attributes were assessed using quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA). Results showed that commercial yeast CSB-1 (JMMT1), a yeast-based sample, had stronger milky and sweet attributes, while commercial yeast CSB-2 (JMMT2) had more pronounced yeasty attributes. Among the sourdough-based samples, Shandong traditional sourdough steamed bread (SDMT) exhibited a winelike character with a weak sweet aftertaste, whereas Shanxi traditional sourdough steamed bread (SXMT) had a distinct sour attribute and a less prominent floury taste. SAFE-GC-O-MS analysis identified 40 aroma compounds with FD values ≥2, including 33 key aroma compounds with an OAV of ≥1. Compounds such as 2,3-butanediol, decanal, methyl isobutenyl ketone, gamma-nonanolactone, ethyl caprate, 2-ethylhexyl acetate, vanillin, and indole contributed significantly to the diverse aroma profiles. High-throughput sequencing revealed dominant strains: Bacillus in JMMT1, Lactobacillus in JMMT2, Bacillus in SDMT, and Lactobacillus in SXMT. Over two-thirds of the aroma compounds showed correlations with microorganisms. Notably, Acetobacter exhibited a highly significant correlation with butanoic acid, while Lactobacillus played a significant role in the formation of ester flavors. These findings contribute to the flavor evaluation and microbial community analysis of steamed bread made with different leavening agents, providing valuable insights into their relationship.

Abstract
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, Saccharomyces cerevisiae 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.

Abstract
Kombuchas are a trend in the fermented beverage field and the effect of fermentation time on their characteristics is necessary to better understand the process, mainly concerning volatile compounds, which are scarce information in the current literature. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate the features of green tea kombucha during fermentation, monitoring the changes in pH, acidity, turbidity, polyphenols, ethanol, acetic acid, volatile compounds, and sensory profile and acceptance up to 14 days of fermentation. Kombuchas' pH and acidity decreased through time as expected, but after 4 days of fermentation, the beverage exceeded the Brazilian legal limits of acidity (130 mEq/L) and produced more than 0.5% AVB, which labels the beverage as alcoholic. Total polyphenols and condensed tannins content enhanced until the seventh day of fermentation and remained constant. Fermentation highly impacted the aroma of the infusion with a high formation of volatile acids, such as alcohols, esters, and ketones. Aldehydes were degraded during the bioprocess. Sensory characterization of kombucha showed that fermentation of 4 days increased perceived turbidity; vinegar, citric fruit, acid, and alcoholic aroma; and produced the beverage with sour, bitter, and vinegar flavor. Thus, the fermentation time of kombuchas must be controlled as they rapidly change and impact on the physicochemical parameters and sensory profile of the beverage can be negative.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Limited nitrogen supply can prevent the completion of alcoholic fermentation. Supplementation through peptides as an alternative, natural source of nitrogen for yeast offers an interesting solution for this issue. In this work, the S. cerevisiae peptide transporters of the Opt and Fot families were studied. We demonstrated that Fot and Opt2 have a broader peptide length preference than previously reported, enabling yeasts to acquire sufficient nitrogen from peptides without requiring additional ammonia or amino acids to complete fermentation. On the contrary, Opt1 was unable to consume any peptide in the given conditions, whereas it has been described elsewhere as the main peptide transporter for peptides longer than three amino acid residues in experiments in laboratory conditions. This controversy signifies the need in applied sciences for approaching experimental conditions to those prevalent in the industry for its more accurate characterization. Altogether, this work provides further evidence of the importance of peptides as a nitrogen source for yeast and their consequent positive impact on fermentation kinetics.

Abstract
Greek grape marc spirits, although being traditional products, have lately attracted increasing attention as a revisited spirit product category. A headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled to the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry method was optimized in order to determine the volatile composition of 39 samples of grape marc spirits from eight major geographical regions of Greece and 4 protected designations of origin (PDOs). This untargeted analysis approach yielded the identification and quantification of 200 volatiles characterizing those products. Principal component analysis and partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) combined with the volatile matrix were further employed to identify terroir denomination. Initial results showed a clear separation of the PDO products from Tyrnavos from the rest. Variable importance in projection data pretreatment was further adopted, and with 31 volatiles subsequently used with PLS-DA, products were correctly classified according to region of origin at 76.92% and for 3 out of 4 PDO denominations at 100%.

Abstract
Precise crop fertilization requires an in-depth understanding of plant uptake and utilisation to optimise sustainable production. This study investigated the influence of nitrogen (N) nutrition and pruning on the cannabinoid concentrations and biomass of a commercial cannabis cultivar; the rationale for this study is how N supply and pruning affect cannabinoid yields and concentration in a commercial setting. Clones of a Cannabis sativa L. (CBD-type) were grown in a controlled-environment glasshouse in pots with coarse sand. After five weeks of vegetative growth under 210 mg/L N and an 18 h light regime, rates of 30, 60, 210, and 500 mg/L N were applied to plants for twelve weeks and a light regime set at 12 h. Double stem pruning was applied as an additional treatment to investigate efficacy on biomass increase. Biomass, N concentrations, and cannabinoid concentrations were measured after the final harvest. Pruning treatment did not increase cannabinoid concentrations or affect biomass. It was coincidentally found that plants on the glasshouse edge with higher exposure to sunlight developed more biomass and higher cannabinoid concentrations. Only biomass in leaves was increased significantly via higher nitrogen nutrition. Cannabinoid concentration, as well as cannabinoid yield per plant were decreased with the increase in N supply. High rates of fertilizer are not recommended because of reduced cannabinoid concentration and biomass yield: the ideal N supply is likely to be between 60 and 210 mg/L. This research will benefit growers and advisors in understanding the complexity of effects of nitrogen fertiliser and pruning practices on plant biomass and secondary metabolite production in medicinal cannabis.

Abstract
The rapid and efficient consumption of carbon and nitrogen sources by brewer's yeast is critical for the fermentation process in the brewing industry. The comparison of the growth characterizations of typical ale and lager yeast, as well as their consumption preference to carbon and nitrogen sources were investigated in this study. Results showed that the ale strain grew faster and had a more extended stationary phase than the lager strain. However, the lager strain was more tolerant to the stressful environment in the later stage of fermentation. Meanwhile, the ale and lager yeast strains possessed varying preferences for metabolizing the specific fermentable sugar or free amino acid involved in the wort medium. The lager strain had a strong capacity to synthesize the extracellular invertase required for hydrolyzing sucrose as well as a strong capability to metabolize glucose and fructose. Furthermore, the lager strain had an advantage in consuming Lys, Arg, Val, and Phe, whereas the ale strain had a higher assimilation rate in consuming Tyr. These findings provide valuable insights into selecting the appropriate brewer's yeast strain based on the wort components for the industrial fermentation process. KEY POINTS: • The lager strain is more tolerant to the stressful environment. • The lager strain has the great capability to synthesize the extracellular invertase. • The assimilation efficiency of free amino acid varies between ale and lager.

Abstract
Product quality and stability improvement is important for development of the Baijiu industry. Generally, Baijiu brewing is carried out in a spontaneous fermentation system mediated by microbiota. Thus, complexity and instability are major features. Due to the insufficient understanding of the mechanism for producing Baijiu, the precise control of the fermentation progress has still not been realized, ultimately affecting product quality and stability. The flavor of Baijiu is the most important factor in determining its quality and is formed by microbiota under the driving force of various physicochemical parameters, such as moisture, acidity, and temperature. Therefore, exploring the association among microbiota (core), physicochemical factors (reference) and flavor compounds (target) has become a key point to clarify the formation mechanism for the flavor quality of Baijiu. Daqu fermentation and liquor fermentation are the two major stages of Baijiu brewing. Daqu, distillers' grains, and pit mud, as the most important fermentation substrates of the microbiota respectively, provide a large number of functional microorganisms related to the flavor components. To this end, we reviewed the relevant research progress of microbiota diversity in different fermentation substrates and the interaction mechanisms among microbiota, physicochemical parameters, and flavor components in this paper. Moreover, a research hypothesis of precise control of the Baijiu fermentation process by building fermentation models based on this is proposed. The key point for this idea is the identification of core microbiota closely associated with the formation of key flavor components by multi-omics technology and the acquisition of culturable strains. With this foundation, fermentation models suitable for different brewing environments will be established by constructing synthetic microbiota, designing mathematical models, and determining key fermentation model parameters. The ultimate goal will be to effectively improve the quality and stability of Baijiu products through model regulation.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a decisive role in the brewing of alcohol products, and the ideal growth and fermentation characteristics can give the pure flavor of alcohol products. However, S. cerevisiae can be affected profoundly by environmental factors during the brewing process, which have negative effects on the growth and fermentation characteristics of S. cerevisiae, and seriously hindered the development of brewing industry. Therefore, we summarized the environmental stress factors (ethanol, organic acids, temperature and osmotic pressure) that affect S. cerevisiae during the brewing process. Their impact mechanisms and the metabolic adaption of S. cerevisiae in response to these stress factors. Of note, S. cerevisiae can increase the ability to resist stress factors by changing the cell membrane components, expressing transcriptional regulatory factors, activating the anti-stress metabolic pathway and enhancing ROS scavenging ability. Meantime, the strategies and methods to improve the stress- tolerant ability of S. cerevisiae during the brewing process were also introduced. Compared with the addition of exogenous anti-stress substances, mutation breeding and protoplast fusion, it appears that adaptive evolution and genetic engineering are able to generate ideal environmental stress tolerance strains of S. cerevisiae and are more in line with the needs of the current brewing industry.

Abstract
World beer production generates large volumes of waste discharged with every brew. Recently, new methods of reducing and reusing hops waste: hot trub (HT), and brewer-spent hops (BSH) are being exploited to improve the circular economy processes. This review outlines the current achievements in the management of hops waste. Following an in-depth review of various scientific publications, current strategies are discussed as a sustainable alternative to food waste exploitation and an inexpensive source of valuable compounds. Moreover, key aspects concerning the nutritional value of hops waste and the potential to enhance the functional properties of food and beverages are highlighted. Due to their nutritional composition, hops residues may be used as prospective sources of added-value co-products or additives for food enrichment, especially for products rich in fat, or as a new source of vegetable protein.

Abstract
Kilned specialty malts provide relevant colour and flavour characteristics to beer and other beverages. Alongside the thermal load, the availability of Maillard precursors directly affect the malt aroma formation. To investigate the influence of process parameters on the flavour characteristics of kilned specialty malts, a full factorial design of experiments was applied varying malt modification degree, curing temperature and time in three levels (33). Analysis of response surfaces revealed a predominant influence of the modification degree and curing temperature on the formation of Strecker aldehydes and pyrazines. Odorants such as 2-methylpropanal and 2-ethyl3,6-dimethylpyrazine presented higher concentrations varying between 429.45 and 478.22 µg∙Kgmalt-1 and 12.49 to 16.75 µg∙Kgmalt-1 respectively, at samples produced under 100 °C and high modification degree. Sensory analysis revealed strong correlations between the odorant markers and typical malt flavour attributes, endorsing the applicability of such methodology on the development and optimisation of kilned malt specialities.

Abstract
Introduction While the variation in physicochemical parameters, microbial communities, metabolism, composition, and the proportion of volatile components in fermented grains (FG) affect final Baijiu quality, their complex interactions during the ultra-long fermentation of compound-flavor Baijiu (CFB) are still poorly understood. Methods In this study, amplicon sequencing was used to analyze the microbial community, and headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) was used to analyze the volatile components in FG during ultra-long fermentation of CFB. The relationships between the dominant microbial communities, physicochemical parameters, and volatile components were analyzed using redundancy analysis and network analysis. Results During ultra-long fermentation, bacterial diversity was initially higher than during the mid and late stages. Fungal diversity in the mid stages was higher than that initially and later in the process. A total of 88 volatile components, including six alcohols, 43 esters, eight aldehydes and ketones, 13 acids, and 18 other compounds were detected in FG. Starch and reducing sugars in FG strongly affected the composition and function of bacterial and fungal communities. However, acidity had little effect on the composition and function of the bacterial flora. Lactobacillus, Bacillus, Weissella, and Pichia were the core microbial genera involved in metabolizing the volatile components of FG. Discussion We provide insights into the relationships and influences among the dominant microbial communities, physicochemical parameters, and volatile components during ultra-long fermentation of CFB. These insights help clarify the fermentation mechanisms of solid-state fermentation Baijiu (SFB) and control and improve the aroma quality of CFB.

Abstract
Yeast flocculation and viability are critical factors in beer production. Adequate flocculation of yeast at the end of fermentation helps to reduce off-flavors and cell separation, while high viability is beneficial for yeast reuse. In this study, we used comparative genomics to analyze the genome information on Saccharomyces pastorianus W01, and its spontaneous mutant W02 with appropriate weakened flocculation ability (better off-flavor reduction performance) and unwanted decreased viability, to investigate the effect of different gene expressions on yeast flocculation or/and viability. Our results indicate that knockout of CNE1, CIN5, SIN3, HP-3, YPR170W-B, and SCEPF1_0274000100 and overexpression of CNE1 and ALD2 significantly decreased the flocculation ability of W01, while knockout of EPL1 increased the flocculation ability of W01. Meanwhile, knockout of CIN5, YPR170W-B, OST5, SFT1, SCEPF1_0274000100, and EPL1 and overexpression of SWC3, ALD2, and HP-2 decreased the viability of W01. CIN5, EPL1, SCEPF1_0274000100, ALD2, and YPR170W-B have all been shown to affect yeast flocculation ability and viability.

Abstract
Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG, Thinopyrum intermedium [Host] Barkworth & D. R. Dewey) has been developed as a perennial grain crop to provide ecosystem services, environmental benefits, and human food. Grain and products derived from IWG varieties improved for food production have been marketed under the registered trademark, Kernza. In the 1980s, a joint breeding effort between the Rodale Institute (RI) and the Big Flats Plant Material Center used IWG plant introductions (PI) from the National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) and recurrent phenotypic selection to improve populations of IWG with the goal of developing a perennial grain. Initial selections were provided to The Land Institute where they were subsequently improved for grain production, yet the identity of the founder material of improved, food-grade IWG has not been publicly documented. Recently recovered original documents have been used to reconstruct the early breeding program to identify the most likely 20 PIs that form the founders of modern food-grade IWG. Molecular data using genotyping-by-sequencing in current elite breeding material, remnant seed from the initial RI selections, and preserved sample material have provided supporting evidence for the historical records. The genetic origin for food-grade IWG is focused between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea in the Stavropol region of Russia, with smaller contributions likely from collections as distant as Kazakhstan in the east to Turkey in the west. This work connects the flow of germplasm and utility of NPGS PIs to present day IWG grain cultivars being developed in multiple breeding programs around the world.

Abstract
The microbial ecosystem of fermented food is greatly disturbed by human activities.Jiuyao is important saccharification starter for brewing huangjiu. The interaction between environmental factors and microorganisms significantly affected the microbial community structure at different stages of Jiuyao manufacturing. This study combined environmental factor analysis and high-throughput sequencing technology to comprehensively analyze the specific changes of microbial community and environmental factors in each fermentation stage of Jiuyao production and their correlation. The results showed that the activities of liquefaction enzyme, glycosylation enzyme and acid protease reached the highest value on the 8 th day (192 h) after the beginning of fermentation, and the cellulase activity reached the highest value at the end of fermentation. Pediococcus(37.5 %-58.2 %), Weissella(9.2 %-27.0 %) and Pelomonas(0.1 %-12.1 %) were the main microbial genera in the genus bacteria, and Saccharomycopsis(37.1 %-52.0 %), Rhizopus(12.5 %-31.0 %) and Saccharomyces(4.0 %-20.5 %) were the main microbial genera in the genus fungi. The results of correlation analysis showed that the microbial communities in Jiuyao were closely related to environmental factors. Most microbial communities were positively correlated with temperature, but negatively correlated with ambient humidity, CO2 concentration, acidity and water content of Jiuyao. In addition, the transcription levels of enzymes related to microbial glucose metabolism in Jiuyao were higher in the late stage of Jiuyao fermentation. Interestingly, these enzymes had high transcription levels in fungi such as Saccharomycopsis, Rhizopus and Saccharomyces, as well as in bacteria such as Pediococcus and Lactobacillus. This study provides a reference for revealing the succession rule of microbial community structure caused by environmental factors during the preparation of Jiuyao in Shaoxing Huangjiu.

Abstract
Hop cultivation has been increasing in the past decade in Brazil, demanding a better understanding of how the processing influences the national hop varieties. Despite the hop process being well-established in the producer countries, there is still room for optimization to reduce energy consumption for a more sustainable process. This study's main purpose was to understand the influence of drying and supercritical CO2 extraction on the quality of hop extracts. The hop quality during drying was evaluated regarding color, bitter acids, xanthohumol, total essential oil content, and volatile profile. Supercritical CO2 extraction yields, and bitter acid recovery were assessed by HPLC in a range of different temperatures (40 or 60 °C) and pressure (15, 20, 25, or 30 MPa) conditions. Hop processing was optimized to produce a greater extract quality from a Brazilian hop variety, saving energy and solvent consumption, and consequently, reducing the process footprint. Furthermore, this study established supercritical CO2 extraction conditions for Brazilian hop extract production, offering the national beer industry an alternative to overpriced products.

Abstract
Light-flavor Baijiu fermentation is a typical spontaneous solid-state fermentation process fueled by a variety of microorganisms. Mechanized processes have been increasingly employed in Baijiu production to replace traditional manual operation processes, however, the microbiological and physicochemical dynamics in mechanized processes remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the microbial community succession and flavor compound formation during a whole mechanized fermentation process of light-flavor Baijiu using the conventional dilution plating method, PacBio single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing and headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that largely different fungal and bacterial communities were involved in the soaking and fermentation processes. A clear succession from Pantoea agglomerans to Bacillus (B.) smithii and B. coagulans in dominant bacterial species and from Cladosporium exasperatum to Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Lichtheimia ramosa in dominant fungal species occurred in the soaking processes. In the fermentation process, the most dominant bacterial species was shifted from Pantoea agglomerans to Lactobacillus (La.) acetotolerans and the most dominant fungal species were shifted from Lichtheimia ramose and Rhizopus arrhizus to Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The bacterial and fungal species positively associated with acidity and the formation of ethanol and different flavor compounds were specified. The microbial species exhibited strong co-occurrence or co-exclusion relationships were also identified. The results are helpful for the improvement of mechanized fermentation process of light-flavor Baijiu production.

Abstract
Microbial communities perform the brewing function in Daqu. Macrogenomics and PICRUST II analyses revealed the differences in microbes and metabolic functions among Daqu from the seven Baijiu-producing provinces. Jiang-flavored Daqu (Guizhou, Shandong, and Hubei provinces) generally forms an aroma-producing functional microbiota with Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, Thermoascus, Virgibacillus, and Thermomyces as the core, which promotes the metabolism of various amino acids and aroma compounds. Light-flavored Daqu (Shanxi Province) enriched the Saccharomycopsis, Saccharomyces, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) microbiota through low-temperature fermentation. These microbes can synthesize alcohol and lactic acid but inhibit amino acid metabolism within the Light-flavored Daqu. Bifidobacterium and Saccharomycopsis were dominant in the Tao-flavored Daqu (Henan province). This unique microbial structure is beneficial for pyruvate fermentation to lactate. Research also found that Strong-flavored Daqu from Jiangsu and Sichuan provinces differed significantly. The microbial communities and metabolic pathways within Jiangsu Daqu were similar to those within Jiang-flavored Daqu, but Sichuan Daqu was dominated by Thermoascus, LAB, and Thermoactinomyces. In addition, Spearman correlation analysis indicated that Kroppenstedtia, Bacillus, and Thermomyces were not only positively related to flavor metabolism but also negatively correlated with Saccharomycopsis. This research will help establish a systematic understanding of the microbial community and functional characteristics in Daqu.

Abstract
The study of fermentation and brewing has a long history of pioneering discoveries that continue to influence modern industrial food production. Since then, numerous research endeavors have yielded conventional criteria that guide contemporary brewing practices. However, the intricate open challenges faced today necessitate a more exhaustive understanding of the process at the molecular scale. We have developed an ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometric analysis (FT-ICR-MS) of the brewing process that can rapidly and comprehensively resolve thousands of molecules. This approach allows us to track molecular fluctuation during brewing at the level of chemical compositions. Employing biological triplicates, our investigation of two brewing lines that are otherwise identical except for the malt used revealed over 8,000 molecular descriptors of the brewing process. Metabolite imprints of both the similarities and differences arising from deviating malting temperatures were visualized. Additionally, we translated traditional brewing attributes such as the EBC-value, free amino nitrogen, pH-value, and concentration curves of specific molecules, into highly correlative molecular patterns consisting of hundreds of metabolites. These in-depth molecular imprints provide a better understanding of the molecular circumstances leading to various changes throughout the brewing process. Such chemical maps go beyond the observation of traditional brewing attributes and are of great significance in the investigation strategies of current open challenges in brewing research. The molecular base of knowledge, along with advancements in technological and data integration schemes, can facilitate the efficient monitoring of brewing and other productions processes.
