Abstract: There are many chiral flavor substances in alcoholic beverages. Previous studies have shown that different stereoisomers of these chiral substances may have different effects on the flavor of alcoholic beverages. The concentration of each of the stereoisomers is closely related to the quality and authenticity of alcoholic beverages. This article reviews the chiral flavor substances recently detected in alcoholic beverages with respect to their flavor characteristics, thresholds, and distribution profiles. Hopefully, this review will provide a reference for further studies of chiral flavor substances in alcoholic beverages.

Key words: alcoholic beverage; chirality; stereoisomers; flavor substances
