Abstract: Maotai-flavored Baijiu is popular among consumers because of its unique flavor, taste and relatively good post-drink comfort. However, the mechanism of flavor formation and the key flavor substances in Maotai-flavored Baijiu have not been definitely determined yet. Based on an extensive review of the recent studies on Maotai-flavored Baijiu, this article therefore provides a brief description of the current research methods in Baijiu flavor chemistry, and it also summarizes micro-flavor compounds and their contribution to the flavor during the fermentation of Maotai-flavored Baijiu, in order to provide a basis for further research in Maotai-flavored Baijiu flavor chemistry.

Key words: Maotai-flavored Baijiu; flavor chemistry; taste
