Article Abstract
The cell wall polysaccharides of brewers spent yeast Saccharomyces pastorianus (BSY) and the inoculum yeast (IY) were studied in order to understand the changes induced by the brewing process. The hot water and alkali extractions performed solubilized mainly mannoproteins, more branched for BSY than those of IY. Also, (31)P solid state NMR showed that the BSY mannoproteins were 3 times more phosphorylated. By electron microscopy it was observed that the final residues of alkali sequential extraction until 4M KOH preserved the yeast three-dimensional structure. The final residues, composed mainly by glucans (92%), showed that the BSY, when compared with IY, contained higher amount of (1→4)-linked Glc (43% for BSY and 16% for IY) and lower (1→3)-linked Glc (17% for BSY and 42% for IY). The enzymatic treatment of final residue showed that both BSY and IY had (α1→4)-linked Glc and (β1→4)-linked Glc, in a 2:1 ratio, showing that S. pastorianus increases their cellulose-like linkages with the brewing process.

Food flavor represents a complex, multisensory experience shaped by the interplay of volatile and non-volatile components, texture, and consumer perception. This review examines both traditional and emerging technologies in food flavor analysis, focusing on their applications, strengths, and limitations. Although traditional methods, such as sensory evaluation and chemical analysis, provide valuable insights, they are constrained by subjectivity and the inability to fully capture the dynamic nature of flavor perception.

Minglv-flavor (MLF) Baijiu, brewed with mung beans, exhibits a characteristic aroma profile. However, key aroma compounds and dynamic evolution during aging have not been systematically investigated. Through recombination and omission experiments, 21 key aroma compounds were confirmed, including ethyl hexanoate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl pentanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate, ethyl 2-methylpropanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate, hexanoic acid and pentanoic acid, which synergistically constituted the aroma profile of MLF Baijiu, characterized by a prominent mung bean aroma accompanied by harmonious fruity and floral notes.

Aroma is one of the most critical determinants of the sensory quality of fruit wines and directly influences consumer preference. As aroma analysis strategies evolve, aroma enhancement in fruit wines has become a key focus in winemaking. Therefore, it is essential to summarize the technological approaches employed in the aroma analysis and enhancement of fruit wine production.

High-temperature Daqu (HTD) plays a critical role in shaping the microbial communities and metabolic profiles during the production of Jiangxiang-flavor Baijiu (JXFB). However, directed regulation of HTD properties remains challenging due to complex interactions among biotic and abiotic factors throughout the process. This study investigated the impact of Bacillus strains, including individual strains and synthetic microbial communities (SynMCs) composed of multiple strains, when combined with Monascus floridanus or Muqu, on the microbiota and metabolite profiles of HTD.
