Description

Yong Du and co-authors study aroma formation in Daqu, a starter used for a strong aroma style of Chinese liquor, in a 2023 paper. The hot phase of its fermentation is thought to be the key time for aroma. Yet how substances change during that phase was little known.

The team paired chemical profiling with microbe sequencing across the hot phase. Profiles after five and nine days looked alike, and amino acid paths stood out. Some aroma compounds rose while esters fell. Dozens of microbe genera took part, through core energy and amino acid pathways. The work maps how microbes drive aroma.
