The changes of microbial community and flavor compound in the fermentation process of Chinese rice wine using Fagopyrum tataricum grain as feedstock

摘要

Chinese rice wine (CRW), a unique wine species, has a long history in China. Fagopyrum tataricum grain is a kind of high-quality grain with function in health care. The production of CRW wine with F. tataricum grain is beneficial to the development of new rice wine products. The flavor compounds and microorganisms in F. tataricum grain rice wine were studied. One hundred and seven volatile compounds (including 11 kinds of pyrazines that were rarely detected in wine) were detected and eight organic acids were measured. The microecological diversity in the fermentation process of F. tataricum rice wine was studied. It was found that Bacillus was the main bacterial genus, and the unclassfied_O_Saccharomycetales was the main fungi. Correlation analysis between microorganism and flavor compound shown there are 838 correlations. A total of 108 microbial genera maybe participate in the formation of flavor compounds. In addition, fourteen genera included unclassified_O_Saccharomycetales, Lactococcus, Pediococcus, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Cochliobolus, Sporidiobolus, Pichia and Saccharomycopsis et al. were screened as functional significant microbiota and built correlation with flavor compounds. This work provides a perspective for bridging the gap between flavor compound and microbial community, and advances our understanding of mechanisms in F. tataricum rice wine fermentation.
