Abstract
To evaluate the feasibility of 60Co irradiation for rapid aging of SSATB, this study employed fresh SSATB (CK) as a benchmark while subjecting test samples to irradiation for 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h, natural aging for five years (5Y) as a contrast. Three analytical platforms, E-nose, HS-SPME-GC–MS, and GC-IMS, were used to comprehensively characterize the aroma profiles. The result shows, distinguished significant aroma differences among groups. A notable acceleration in the accumulation and transformation of certain flavor-active components. Irradiation enhanced various esters, lactones, terpenes and other key volatile compounds. Overall, 60Co irradiation significantly altered Baijiu's key aroma components in a relatively short timeframe, suggesting its viability for accelerated aging. These findings not only provide experimental and theoretical insights for process optimization and scaled-up applications but also offer valuable perspectives for comparative studies and technical advancements in the broader field of rapid spirits aging on the international stage.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: X, one of three Open Access companion journals to Food Chemistry, follows the same aims, scope, and peer-review process. It focuses on papers advancing food and biochemistry or analytical methods, prioritizing research novelty. Manuscript evaluation considers novelty, scientific rigor, field advancement, and reader interest. Excluded are studies on food molecular sciences or disease cure/prevention. Topics include food component chemistry, bioactives, processing effects, additives, contaminants, and analytical methods. The journal welcome Analytical Papers addressing food microbiology, sensory aspects, and more, emphasizing new methods with robust validation and applicability to diverse foods or regions.
