Abstract

Jiangxiangxing Baijiu, with unique production process, is highly popular in the market.Due to its high profit margins and significant market demand, a wide range of counterfeiting methods have emerged.But the traditional authentication methods are difficult to cope with the increasingly sophisticated counterfeiting methods.Therefore, in this study, the flavour components of jiangxiangxing Baijiu were analyzed by gas chromatography and other technologies, and the authenticity discrimination model was constructed by machine learning.Firstly, the importance of flavour substances was assessed by pearson’s correlation and random forest, and 21 key flavour substances, including furfural, 2-tridecanone and propanol, were selected as discriminators from 96 compounds.Subsequently, comparing the discriminative performance of multilayer perceptron, K-nearest neighbour and logistic regression models, it was found that the logistic regression model performed the best.Finally, with the help of SHAP interpretability analysis, the model of authenticity discrimination was mainly affected by furfural, isobutyraldehyde, ethyl lactate, and other characteristic components.This study not only enriches the database of flavor components of jiangxiangxing Baijiu, but also provides a new technical reference for liquor quality supervision, which has important theoretical significance and practical value.
