Abstract
Chinese rice wine (CRW) is a traditional and unique alcoholic beverage in China, favored by many consumers for its rich aroma, unique taste, and complex ingredients. Its flavor is primarily composed of volatile and nonvolatile compounds. These flavor compounds are partly derived from grains and starters (Qu), while the other part is produced by microbial metabolism and chemical reactions during the brewing process. Additionally, ethyl carbamate (EC) in CRW, a hazardous chemical, necessitates controlling its concentration during brewing. In recent years, numerous new brewing techniques for CRW have emerged. Therefore, this paper aims to collect aroma descriptions and thresholds of flavor compounds in CRW, summarize the relationship between the brewing process of CRW and flavor formation, outline methods for reducing the concentration of EC in the brewing process of CRW, and summarize the four stages (pretreatment of grains, fermentation, sterilization, and aging process) of new techniques. Furthermore, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches, with the expectation of providing a valuable reference for improving the quality of CRW.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2022; 70:12907-12915.

Abstract
Excessive and uncoordinated bitterness of Shaoxing Huangjiu, a traditional Chinese rice wine, reduces its acceptance by consumers. To determine the compounds responsible for this bitterness, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography were performed on four types of Shaoxing Huangjiu (Yuanhong, Huadiao, Shanniang, and Xiangxue wine) for targeted quantitation of candidate compounds known to contribute to bitterness. Calculations of dose-over-threshold factors revealed that isoamyl alcohol, 1-hexanol, phenylethanol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl lactate, furfural, histidine, and arginine were important bitter compounds. Taste recombination experiments demonstrated that a recombination model constructed using the screened known bitter compounds showed good similarity with the original sample in bitter taste. Furthermore, omission experiments revealed that isobutanol, isoamyl alcohol, 1-hexanol, phenylethanol, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl lactate, furfural, arginine, and valine were the compounds affecting the bitter taste perception. This study provides a certain guiding effect on the bitterness control and taste improvement of Shaoxing Huangjiu.

Effect of the Deletion of Genes Related to Amino Acid Metabolism on the Production of Higher Alcohols by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:6802512. [PMID: 33204707 PMCID: PMC7665916 DOI: 10.1155/2020/6802512] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/31/2020] [Revised: 09/27/2020] [Accepted: 10/24/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The higher alcohols produced by Saccharomyces cerevisiae exert remarkable influence on the taste and flavour of Chinese Baijiu. In order to study the regulation mechanism of amino acid metabolism genes on higher alcohol production, eight recombinant strains with amino acid metabolism gene deletion were constructed. The growth, fermentation performance, higher alcohol production, and expression level of genes in recombinant and original α5 strains were determined. Results displayed that the total higher alcohol concentration in α5ΔGDH1 strain decreased by 27.31% to 348.68 mg/L compared with that of α5. The total content of higher alcohols in α5ΔCAN1 and α5ΔGAT1 strains increased by 211.44% and 28.36% to 1493.96 and 615.73 mg/L, respectively, compared with that of α5. This study is the first to report that the CAN1 and GAT1 genes have great influence on the generation of higher alcohols. The results demonstrated that amino acid metabolism plays a substantial role in the metabolism of higher alcohols by S. cerevisiae. Interestingly, we also found that gene knockout downregulated the expression levels of the knocked out gene and other genes in the recombinant strain and thus affected the formation of higher alcohols by S. cerevisiae. This study provides worthy insights for comprehending the metabolic mechanism of higher alcohols in S. cerevisiae for Baijiu fermentation.
