Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of winemaking technology, and specifically relates to a culture medium combination for separating prokaryotes from Daqu, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chinese baijiu (Chinese liquor) can be categorized into four major flavor types: Luzhou-flavor, Maotai-flavor, Qingxiang, and Mixiang. Maotai-flavor baijiu has the longest production history. During the baijiu brewing process, koji (dice yeast) plays the role of a saccharifying agent, fermenting agent, and flavoring agent, decisively influencing the yield, quality, and flavor of the liquor. High-temperature koji, the saccharifying and fermenting agent for Maotai-flavor baijiu, contains a rich variety of microorganisms and the enzymes they produce, which are key to producing the Maotai-flavor flavor.

[0003] Currently, culture-free techniques such as metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and fluorescence in situ hybridization are important means of studying the structure and function of microbial communities. Related studies have shown that bacteria are the most abundant microbial group in high-temperature Daqu and the main contributor to the production of sauce-flavor substances; molds are second in abundance and mainly play a saccharification role; yeasts are relatively few in number and are the source of fermentation power. However, obtaining pure culture strains of microorganisms is particularly important for directly analyzing their metabolic characteristics and physiological functions, and is also the basis for the development and application of microbial resources. Traditional isolation and culture methods are limited by the differences in nutrient levels, temperature, humidity, etc. under laboratory conditions and the original environmental conditions, resulting in a small number of isolated microorganisms.

[0004] Due to the complex koji-making process and open fermentation environment, high-temperature daqu harbors a complex microbial community. In-depth research into the diversity of culturable microorganisms in high-temperature daqu and the isolation and purification of functional microorganisms are crucial for understanding the flavor of sauce-flavored baijiu, improving its quality, and advancing baijiu brewing techniques.
