    Abstract:
    The popularity of texiang aroma type baijiu (liquor), known for its unique production technology and multilayered flavor, has been steadily increasing among consumers. So far, no research has determined its key aroma compounds for characterizing the unique flavor, which is the purpose of this paper. Using gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) coupled with the GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method, 87 aroma-active compounds were identified and screened out with intensity values ≥2.0. 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) was first confirmed by GC-O in Chinese liquor. According to a quantitative study and odor activity values (OAVs), 42 odorants were determined as important aroma compounds. These odorants were recombined based on quantitative concentrations, successfully simulating the overall aroma profile. Omission experiments verified ethyl hexanoate, β-damascenone, and 2-furfuryl ethyl ether as the key aroma compounds and revealed that ethyl acetate, furfural, and ethyl 2-phenylacetate were important aroma compounds to the overall flavor of texiang aroma and flavor type liquor.
