Abstract

Tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) is one of the important flavor and functional substances in Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV). In this paper, the formation of TMP in the whole brewing process of SAV was analyzed. The results showed that TMP mainly accumulated in the stages of acetic acid fermentation and fumigation. Therefore, the changes of precursors for TMP formation, including acetoin, diacetyl, ammonium nitrogen, and amino acids, were analyzed. In particular, the effect of temperature on the formation and stability of TMP was investigated. The results showed that TMP was in a dynamic balance between formation and degradation in the fumigation process, which was mainly affected by temperature and acidity. When compared with those fumigated at 85 and 105 ℃, the TMP concentration in Cupei fumigated at 95 ℃ for 3 d increased by 30% and 17%, and the total ester concentration increased by 9% and 10%, respectively. The relative concentrations of esters, ketones, aldehydes, and heterocyclic flavor substances were also increased. There were no significant differences in total acid, reducing sugar, and amino nitrogen when fumigated under there different temperatures. Those results indicated that fumigation under 95 ℃ contributed to the accumulation of TMP and the other flavor compounds.
