Abstract:
Modern mechanized fermentation technology is widely applied to improve the efficiency and quality of food production. However, mechanically produced Huangjiu (Chinese rice wine) often exhibits noticeable differences in flavor compared to that produced by traditional manual fermentation, and the underlying mechanisms contributing to this divergence remain unclear. In this study, we systematically compared Huangjiu prepared via modern mechanized fermentation and traditional manual fermentation, focusing on microbial community dynamics and metabolic activity during fermentation. The findings provide important theoretical support for optimizing mechanized Huangjiu production by mimicking key aspects of traditional fermentation.
