Original title: The team of Xu Yan and Fan Wenlai from the Brewing Microbiology and Applied Enzymology Laboratory of Jiangnan University has made important progress in the study of the high temperature Daqu metabolome

High-temperature Daqu is a saccharification and fermentation flavoring agent for brewing Maotai-flavor liquor, which has an important influence on the style and quality of Maotai-flavor liquor.

In response to the above problems, the research team used non-targeted metabolomics technology to analyze 647 compounds in high temperature Daqu, including 401 volatile compounds mainly aromatic and pyrazines, and 246 mainly amino acids and organic acids.

The above-mentioned research work has been awarded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (30530055), the National Key Research and Development Program Project "Key Technology Research and Equipment Development for Traditional Brewed Food Manufacturing" (2016YFD0400503), and the National Light Industry Technology and Engineering First-Class Subject Independent Project (LITE2018-12), Jiangsu Province Graduate Research and Innovation Program (KYCX20_1817), supported by the Guizhou Provincial Department of Education's Science and Technology Top Talent Support Project (Qianjiaohe KY Zi [2018] 082)
