Technical Innovation for the Integration of Different Liquor Flavor Types

Since the classification of liquor flavor types at the Third National Liquor Tasting Conference in 1979,the development of liquor-making industry has always kept pace with the times in the fields of liquor flavor classification and liquor product innovation.About 12 liquor flavor types have been derived successfully from original three main liquor flavor types including Fen-flavor,Luzhou-flavor and Maotai-flavor and most of the 12 liquor flavor types have their individual national standards.In recent years,the extracted beneficial plant aroma components has been applied gradually in liquor blending and liquor flavoring,which could produce more quality liquor products for consumers.The technical innovation for the integration of different liquor flavor types has marched in a brand new stage.(Tran.by YUE Yang)
