Daqu is a traditional natural fermentation starter culture that has a significant impact on the quality and flavour of Chinese liquor and vinegar. A review of the literature was conducted focusing on the classification, composition, and manufacture of Daqu. The review provided a preliminary understanding of the link between the fermentation process and the characteristics of the final Daqu product. Then the occurrence, levels, and diversity of microorganisms were studied in different types of Daqu produced by various fermentation processes. The results showed that Bacillus licheniformis and Saccharomycopsis fibuligera were present in all the tested samples of Daqu. Regional comparisons showed Staphylococcus gallinarum and Staphylococcus saprophyticus in southern Daqu. The fungi Sm. fibuligera and Lichtheimia ramosa were found in low/medium-temperature Daqu and Thermomyces lanuginosus occurred in high- temperature Daqu. In order to study the functionality of Daqu and the contribution of the predominant microorganisms to alcoholic fermentation, the mesophilic and thermophilic bacteria and spores, Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, and moulds present in the core and outer portions of Fen-Daqu were isolated. The isolates were identified by culture- dependent sequencing of rRNA genes (16S rRNA for bacteria; 18S rRNA, 26S rRNA, and ITS rRNA for fungi). A succession of fungi, lactic acid, and Bacillus spp. was associated with prevailing acidity, moisture content, and temperature during Daqu fermentation. The predominant species in fermentation were B. licheniformis, Pediococcus pentosaceus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Pichia kudriavzevii, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, Sacchromyces cerevisiae, and Sm. fibuligera. One strain of the each of the above-mentioned predominant species, with the highest starch degrading ability and alcohol tolerance, was selected and used in different combinations to perform alcoholic fermentation. Metabolite composition differed significantly between various fermentation trials. S. cerevisiae provided superior ethanol production. Sm. fibuligera and B. licheniformis provided the amylolytic activity that converted starch and polysaccharides into fermentable sugars. Finally, W. anomalus was found to be an important contributor to formation of the liquor aroma. Understanding the microbial diversity and functional activity, as well as the production dynamics and safety of Daqu will enable commercial producers to improve and/or scale-up traditional processes and enhance product quality and safety, thus facilitating entry into international markets. Chapter 1 General introduction and thesis outline Chapter 1 Chinese fermented foods have received increased attention owing to their specific flavours, nutritional value, and health benefits, and are a major part of the food production system in China. Alcoholic beverages including beer, Chinese liquor, and wine are important indigenous fermented products. In particular, Chinese liquor is an economically vital cultural commodity in China that is enjoyed by consumers at various social occasions. The liquor is typically generated by natural solid-state fermentation (SSF), and the product quality depends primarily on the skills of process operators; in general, the latter have little knowledge of microbiological and biochemical events occurring during the production process. However, non-standardised process parameters often lead to products with inconsistent quality. Several industries have tried to automate their production technology or replace some of the indigenous ingredients, but these attempts have resulted in the loss of unique product flavours due to circumvention of traditional methods. A detailed investigation of the microbiological and biochemical processes involved in the production of traditional fermented foods is therefore necessary for successful commercial-scale production. 1.1 Background Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) SSF is a process in which microbial cultures are grown on a solid matrix in the absence of a liquid (aqueous) phase (Barrios-González, 2012). This method has gained an increase in scientific and industrial attention in the past 20 years as a cost-saving measure for the efficient utilisation of agricultural products and waste (Barrios-González, 2012). Several fermented foods and beverages such as soy sauce, men, meju, and Chinese liquor are traditionally produced by SSF (Kim et al., 2011b; Tanaka et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2008b). SSF can also be applied for the production of enzymes that hydrolyse macromolecules and facilitate fermentation by bacteria and fungi (Singhania et al., 2009). In addition, SSF can provide high yields and can improve the functionalities of a variety of biomolecules including flavours, colourants, preservatives, and sweeteners, which could add value to the fermented products (Couto et al., 2006). SSF-associated indigenous microbiota include different lactic acid bacteria (LAB), Bacillus spp., yeast, and fungi 2 General introduction and thesis outline (Nout, 2009). These microorganisms convert substrates into fermentation end-products and also synthesise a variety of aroma compounds. For example, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine and tetramethylpyrazine are important flavour enhancers that are generated by Bacillus natto and Bacillus subtilis, respectively (Couto et al., 2006). A downside of SSF however, is that microbial growth and community composition are difficult to control; nutrient diffusion, enzyme stability, metabolic activities, and aerobic processes are influenced by various parameters including moisture content, temperature, pH, particle size, aeration, and agitation (Krishna, 2005). A better understanding of the microbiological and biochemical mechanisms underlying SSF would enable better control of the process and assure the quality of the final product. Production of Chinese liquor (Baijiu) Chinese liquor (known as Baijiu in Chinese) is a potent, distilled spirit containing 40- 65% alcohol by volume. The annual production of Chinese liquor has steadily increased in recent years and currently exceeds ten million metric tons annually (Anonymous, 2014). Hundreds of different types of Chinese liquor are produced by various processes in different regions of China, and can be previously classified as strong, light, sauce and miscellaneous, according to their flavour (Shen, 2005), nowadays more flavours such as rice, sesame, feng, chi, fuyu, yao, teyi, laobaigan appear. Representatives of six major Chinese liquor types are shown in Figure 1.1. Traditionally, Baijiu contained average ethanol levels of 50-65% v/v, but most products now contain around 40% v/v through the addition of water and adjustment of flavours (Fan et al., 2006). Techniques used to produce Chinese liquor have a long history and have been passed on through many generations. Chinese liquor is typically produced from grains such as sorghum, wheat, rice, glutinous rice, and maize by a complex SSF process, which comprises (i) material preparation, (ii) grinding

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contacts: December 12, 2012 Maysoun Wazwaz Mills College Art Museum, Program Manager 510.430.3340 or [email protected] Mills College Art Museum Announces HUNG LIU: OFFERINGS January 23-March 17, 2013 Oakland, CA—December 12, 2012. The Mills College Art Museum is pleased to present Hung Liu: Offerings a rare opportunity to experience two of the Oakland-based artist’s most significant large- scale installations: Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain) (1994) and Tai Cang—Great Granary (2008). Hung Liu: Offerings will be on view from January 23 through March 17, 2013. The opening reception takes place on Wednesday, January 23, 2013 from 6:00–8:00 pm and free shuttle service will be provided from the MacArthur Bart station during the opening. Recognized as America's most important Chinese artist, Hung Liu’s installations have played a central role in her work throughout her career. In Jiu Jin Shan (Old Gold Mountain), over two hundred thousand fortune cookies create a symbolic gold mountain that engulfs a crossroads of railroad tracks running beneath. The junction where the tracks meet serves as both a crossroads and 1 terminus, a visual metaphor of the cultural intersection of East and West. Liu references not only the history of the Chinese laborers who built the railroads to support the West Coast Gold Rush, but also the hope shared among these migrant workers that they could find material prosperity in the new world. The Mills College Art Museum is excited to be the first venue outside of China to present Tai Cang— Great Granary.

Chinese techniques sharply contrasted with the Middle Eastern and European bronze development that relied on annealing, cold working and hammering. The bronze alloys were difficult to shape by hammering due to the alloy combination of the natural ores found in China. Furthermore, China had an abundance of clay and loess materials and the Chinese had spent the Neolithic period working with and mastering clay, to the point that it has been said that bronze casting was made possible only because the bronze makers had access to superior ceramic technology.

  • Piece Mold, Lost Wax & Composite Casting Techniques of The
    Piece Mold, Lost Wax & Composite Casting Techniques of the Chinese Bronze Age Behzad Bavarian and Lisa Reiner Dept. of MSEM College of Engineering and Computer Science September 2006 Table of Contents Abstract Approximate timeline 1 Introduction 2 Bronze Transition from Clay 4 Elemental Analysis of Bronze Alloys 4 Melting Temperature 7 Casting Methods 8 Casting Molds 14 Casting Flaws 21 Lost Wax Method 25 Sanxingdui 28 Environmental Effects on Surface Appearance 32 Conclusion 35 References 36 China can claim a history rich in over 5,000 years of artistic, philosophical and political advancement. As well, it is birthplace to one of the world's oldest and most complex civilizations. By 1100 BC, a high level of artistic and technical skill in bronze casting had been achieved by the Chinese. Bronze artifacts initially were copies of clay objects, but soon evolved into shapes invoking bronze material characteristics. Essentially, the bronze alloys represented in the copper-tin-lead ternary diagram are not easily hot or cold worked and are difficult to shape by hammering, the most common techniques used by the ancient Europeans and Middle Easterners. This did not deter the Chinese, however, for they had demonstrated technical proficiency with hard, thin walled ceramics by the end of the Neolithic period and were able to use these skills to develop a most unusual casting method called the piece mold process. Advances in ceramic technology played an influential role in the progress of Chinese bronze casting where the piece mold process was more of a technological extension than a distinct innovation. Certainly, the long and specialized experience in handling clay was required to form the delicate inscriptions, to properly fit the molds together and to prevent them from cracking during the pour.

Khao Mak is a sweet fermented rice-based dessert with a unique flavor profile commonly found throughout Thailand. The traditional starter culture (Look Pang) contains yeast, mold and herbs, which is used to ferment cooked glutinous rice. This research studied production of Khao Mak which resulted in volatile flavor compounds that were affected by rice varieties, including white glutinous rice (Kor Khor 6), Japanese rice (Hitomebore) and black glutinous rice (Kam Doi and Leum Phua). Total soluble solids (TSS) as degree Brix, pH, and alcohol concentrations were measured daily during the fermentation period. Volatile flavor compounds were separated and identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). At the end of the fermentation, samples had pH ranging from 3.91±0.16 to 4.30±0.09, total soluble solids of 32.65±1.65 to 44.02±1.72qBrix, and alcohol concentrations between 0.33±0.03 and 0.38±0.03% (v/v). The potent odors associated with Khao Mak were alcohol, wine-like, whiskey-like, solvent-like, sweet and fruity.

The aim of this study was to investigate the microbial community of Daqu by using the metaproteomic approach. A total of 45 protein spots in the two-dimensional electophoresis gel were excised and identified. Seventeen protein spots represent 16 proteins that originate from the secretion of bacteria, yeast, and filamentous fungi. Moreover, Nitrobacter winogradskyi, Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Neurospora crassa were first identified in Daqu. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the community structure of Chinese liquor Daqu through metaproteomic analysis. Results presented in this study may further elucidate the microbial community structure in Daqu and may facilitate the development of Daqu for the manufacture of Chinese liquor. Keywords: Chinese liquor Daqu; Metaproteomics; Microbial Daqu extract were investigated based on metaproteomic method.
