Feasibility Discussion on the Identification of Baijiu Brewing Microorganisms Using MALDI-TOF MS Technology
With the increasing maturity of modern microbial detection technology,the research on microbial information in the field of Baijiu has developed rapidly.The brewing process of Baijiu is inseparable from the metabolism of microorganisms,so the identification and establishment of a database of microbial strains in Baijiu brewing is the basis for exploring the brewing process of Baijiu.In this paper,the detection methods of several microorganisms are briefly analyzed,and a new microbial identification technology,matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS),is introduced,which aims to provide a simple and efficient means for the identification of microorganisms in Baijiu brewing and the establishment of strain databases.
