Assay specificity was validated using 8 primer/probe sets derived from database-scale internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions design workflow. Moreover, we successfully tested 24 toxic mushroom samples under raw, cooked, and digested conditions, demonstrating robust adaptability across real-world matrices.

The phenolic composition of cherry berries exhibited variability among species.

This superior stability is attributed to the dominance of Pg3R in PT, which was found to be more stable than cyanidin-based anthocyanins during puree processing. Furthermore, PT showed the highest retention rates of phenolic acids and flavonols. Pulping was identified as the critical control point for pigments retention since the greatest loss of anthocyanins occurred during this stage, suggesting that the non-thermal processing procedure should be carefully optimized for color retention.

Drawing on recent advances in sensory-guided fractionation, mass spectrometry, and taste-directed isolation, this review outlines methodologies that have been successfully applied to wine, sake, and beer, and discuss their implications for Huangjiu. Available evidence suggests that bitter peptides may contribute more strongly than free amino acids to Huangjiu bitterness, although systematic reconstruction/omission tests remain scarce.
