Article Abstract
This work developed a new technique and an application of an existing approach to determine sodium in food sauces, involving enthalpimetric reactions in the infrared. Infrared Thermometric Titration (TT-IR) was utilized, with simple analyzers and low-cost measurement instruments for the acquisition of the surface temperature generated in the sodium precipitation reaction and development of software for the acquisition and processing of data using Raspberry Pi. The sodium was also quantified by Thermal Infrared Enthalpimetry (TIE), a recently developed technique. The rapid and simple quantification of sodium by the TT-IR and TIE showed the possibility of a selective reaction for sodium, using aluminum nitrate, potassium and ammonium fluoride in an acid medium, with reduction of the reagents and without the digestion step in the sample preparation. The results acquired through TT-IR and TIE corroborated the Flame Atomic Emission Spectrometry (FAES) with 96 to 103% and 95 to 102%, respectively.

High-temperature Daqu (HTD), an essential fermentation starter in sauce-aroma Baijiu, is characterized by complex microbial communities that vary significantly across production regions. Traditional HTD production faces challenges in consistency and quality control, hindering industrial scalability. This study compared 54 synthetic microbial communities (SynMC)-fortified HTD samples with 39 traditional HTD samples from core production regions, which are Renhuai, Luzhou, and Jinsha, respectively, to elucidate their microbial and metabolic profiles.

Soy sauce, a traditional condiment, derives its characteristic smoky aroma from 4-vinylguaiacol (4-VG) and 4-ethylguaiacol (4-EG), formed by yeast metabolism of ferulic acid (FA). However, controlling the production of these compounds remains challenging. This study isolated four yeasts from soy sauce: Starmerella etchellsii was identified as a key 4-VG producer (28.

Baijiu is a traditional distilled liquor unique to China. Its distinctive flavor is shaped by the synergistic activity of complex microbial communities, among which yeasts play a central role in sugar metabolism, ethanol fermentation, and aroma synthesis. In recent years, the advancement of isolation and cultivation techniques, high-throughput sequencing, metagenomics, and multi-omics technologies has deepened our understanding of yeast community compositions, succession patterns, and functional characteristics during Baijiu brewing.
