Dynamic changes in microbial communities and flavor components of Cupei during fermentation of Shanxi mature vinegar via multiomics analysis.
BACKGROUND The quality of traditional Shanxi mature vinegar (SMV) is closely associated with the characteristics of Cupei (vinegar grains). This study integrated high-throughput sequencing and metabolomics to investigate microbial succession and flavor metabolite dynamics during Cupei fermentation. RESULTS A total of...
