Description

Yuxia Fan and co-authors compared the non-volatile chemistry of strong-flavor baijiu at high and low alcohol levels, in a 2025 study. Alcohol content shapes the taste and mouthfeel of this Chinese spirit and steers buyer choice. The team used untargeted chemical profiling on samples from the Jiangsu region.

They quantified 647 compounds that do not evaporate, then screened for the ones that separate the two strength groups. About 110 key compounds differed clearly, and most ran higher in the stronger samples. A pattern model could also tell brands and origins apart. The results link alcohol level to the heavier flavor compounds that linger on the palate.
