Abstract
Consumers rely on flavor characteristics to distinguish different types of Qingke Baijiu (QKBJ). Clarifying QKBJ's traits enhances its recognition and long-term growth. Thus, this study analyzed eight QKBJ samples from different regions of Tibet (Lhasa, Sannan, Shigatse, and Qamdo) using GC–MS, electronic nose and electronic tongue. The radar charts of the electronic tongue and electronic nose revealed highly similar profiles for all eight samples. Fifteen common compounds were found in all samples, with the main alcohol compounds being 3-Methyl-1-butanol, 1-hexanol, isobutanol, 1-butanol, 1-nonanol, and phenylethyl alcohol, imparting fruity, floral, and herbal aromas. However, the Sannan samples had higher total alcohol content than total ester content, emphasizing bitterness. Lhasa1 exhibited the most prominent sweetness, Lhasa2 the most noticeable sourness, and Qamdo the most pronounced umami. Lhasa3 and Lhasa4 had total acid content second only to total ester content. Tyd had the highest alkanes, while Lhasa had most aldehydes among samples.
