Abstract: The volatile compounds of fermented grains of Chinese Gujinggong liquor were extracted by solvent-assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE) and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatographyolfactometry (GC-O) by comparison of their retention indices (RI) with those of standards. A total of 148 volatile compounds were identified, with 21 of these being the most important flavor compounds. An internal standard method was used to quantify the 21 compounds and odor activity value (OAV) was used to rank their contributions to the overall aroma of fermented grains. It turned out that hexanoic acid ethyl ester (OAV = 2 817), octanoate (OAV = 534), ethyl butyrate (OAV = 519), and 3-methyl butyl acetate (OAV = 137) made the greatest contributions, followed by ethyl decanoate, butyric acid, ethyl lactate, ethyl phenylacetate, benzenepropanoic acid ethyl ester, benzene ethyl acetate, caproate, 2,3-butanediol, acetic acid, propionic acid and benzyl alcohol.

Key words: solvent assisted flavor evaporation (SAFE), fermented grains, aroma compounds, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O), odor activity value (OAV)
