Non-Targeted Metabolomics Analysis of Non-Glutinous and Glutinous Sorghum
In order to investigate the metabolite differences of sorghum varieties and their potential effects on liquor brewing process and liquor quality,the metabolites of Chuanlianghong No.9 sorghum and northeast japonica sorghum were analyzed by non-targeted metabolomics.The results showed that there were significant differences in contents and types of terpenoids,flavonoids,lipids and amino compounds in two kinds of sorghum.These differences may affect the fermentation process and the production of flavor substances by regulating the metabolic activities of fermentation microorganisms,and ultimately lead to the difference of flavor and quality of sorghum liquor.
