Abstract
Abstract Baijiu, the national liquor of China, is produced using traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF). SSF automation during compound flavor baijiu (CFB) production can considerably reduce labor intensity and required manpower, improve the working environment, decrease costs, and increase efficiency. The approaches for SSF automation in CFB production can provide a reference for the automation of SSF in other industries. Therefore, this review compares the traditional and automated processes for jiuqu starter production, SSF, and solid-state distillation during baijiu brewing. Furthermore, specific applications of automation technology and equipment are summarized for each process. The problems and challenges associated with the automation of the process are then detailed and future development directions are proposed. Thus, this review provides an overall introduction to and insight into the developments and challenges in the automation of the CFB brewing process, helping to promote automation in the brewing of other baijiu flavor classes and SSF products.
