Abstract: | "Honey aroma is a typical sensory characteristic of Feng-flavour Baijiu, which originates from a unique manufacturing process, the formation mechanism of which is unclear. Multivariate analysis combined with foodomics assisted by sensory evaluation was performed to investigate the molecular mechanism of honey aroma formation in Feng-flavour Baijiu during the 17-year ageing process. A total of 1995 compounds was identified, and 47 variables were screened as significant substances according to variable importance in projection and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (|rho| > 0.7), which corroborated that the long-term interaction between Baijiu and storage containers was the dominant origin of honey aroma. Recombination and omission experiments further validated the important contributions of significant substances, including acids, alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. A typical honey aroma dominated by fruity, floral, sweet and nutty notes was successfully simulated, and nutty notes could be enhanced by amides, whereas amines presented masking effects on fruity and floral aromas" |
