- Abstract
Serving temperature plays a crucial role in influencing the sensory experience of consumers. In this context, this study investigated the influence of serving temperature on the aroma release and perception of a typical fermented alcoholic beverage named Huangjiu. A quantitative sensory description analysis was conducted, determining serving temperature significantly influenced the 17 sensory attributes in both semi-dry and semi-sweet Huangjiu. The variation in the contents of 41 volatiles in the Huangjiu with temperature was investigated using gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry, resulting in volatile content significantly increasing above 30 ℃. The partial least squares discriminant analysis was conducted to predict the variable importance for the projection (VIP) of volatiles, and 22 volatiles (VIP > 1) were screened. These 22 volatiles were confirmed as key odorants influenced by serving temperature though aroma addition experiments. The findings would provide a reference for the effects of serving temperature on the flavor perception of fermented alcoholic beverages., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
