Application of functional microorganisms in brewing process of light-flavor Baijiu production
The formation of functional microorganisms in the brewing of light-flavor(Qingxiangxing)Baijiu is mainly composed of starter microbes and fermented grains microbes,supplemented by environmental microbes.Its complex microbial community composition,core microbial composi-tion and interaction,and main metabolic flavor substances form the style characteristics of light-flavor Baijiu,which is"pure fragrance,mellow and sweet,natural harmony,and clean aftertaste".In this paper,the brewing technology of light-flavor Baijiu,the source of functional microorganisms of light-flavor Baijiu and the application of functional microorganisms in the brewing of light-flavor Baijiu were reviewed,and the research and devel-opment trend of light-flavor Baijiu were prospected,in order to provide a reference for the research of microorganisms in light-flavor Baijiu and the improvement of the quality of light-flavor Baijiu in the future.
