Zhu, Jian Cai published the artcileCharacterization of important sulfur and nitrogen compounds in Lang baijiu by application of gas chromatography-olfactometry, flame photometric detection, nitrogen phosphorus detector and odor activity value, Safety of 2,3,5-Trimethylpyrazine, the main research area is sulfur nitrogen compound Lang baijiu GC MS FPD NPD; Flame photometric detection; Gas chromatography-olfactometry; Lang baijiu; Nitrogen phosphorus detector; Stir bar sorptive extraction.

The volatile compounds in three Lang baijiu (“”Honghualangshi, Y1″”, “”Langjiulangge, Y2″”, and “”Laolangjiu, Y3″”) were identified by GC-O, GC-MS, flame photometric detection (FPD), and nitrogen phosphorus detector (NPD) with the aid of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE). The results showed that a total of 60, 62, and 61 compounds with aroma contribution were present in samples Y1, Y2, and Y3, resp. The results indicated that 2-methyl-3-furanthiol (OAV: 20-30), 3-mercaporhexyl acetate (OAV: 13-20), β-damascenone (OAV: 30-57), (E)-2-nonenal (OAV: 9-22), heptanal (OAV: 4-13), hexanal (OAV: 9-12) and 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine (OAV: 4-14) contributed to the aroma of Lang baijiu. Finally, six compounds (Et hexanoate, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, (E)-2-decenal, guaiacol, 3-mercaporhexyl acetate, and 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine) with different OAVs were used to determine the effect on the threshold of aromatic reconstitution (AR). It can be seen that Et hexanoate, 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, 3-mercaporhexyl acetate, and 2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine could significantly decrease the threshold of AR. The possible reason was that these four compounds had synergistic effects with the aroma compounds in AR. Compared to Et hexanoate and 2-methyl-3-furanthiol, the threshold of AR had a slight difference in the presence of (E)-2-decenal in AR. After the addition of guaiacol, the threshold value of AR was significantly increased, indicating a masking effect between guaiacol and the original aroma compounds in AR.
