I have appropriately acknowledged and referenced all text passages that are derived from published literatures, and all information that relates to verbal communications. I have abided by the principles of good scientific conduct laid down in the charter of the Justus Liebig University of Giessen in carrying out the investigations described in the dissertation. Date, Place Signature Acknowledgements III The presented work was done in the period of October, 2011 to September, 2014 under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Holger Zorn in the Institute of Food Chemistry and Food Biotechnology, Justus Liebig University, Giessen. This thesis was made possible through the help and support of many persons and organizations in many ways. Foremost, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to Prof. Dr. Holger Zorn for providing me this precious opportunity to work in his research group. His excellent scientific supervision, deep trust, generous support, and continuous encouragement kept me confident through all kinds of challenges and enabled me complete my research project with positive mood. During the Doctoral study, he also offered me the great opportunities to attend the international conference in Switzerland and the Fairs in Hannover and Frankfurt. These valuable experiences broadened my horizons and let me deeply understand the field I have studied. His care and support gave me lots of warmness and happiness during the whole process of pregnancy. I am also very grateful for his extreme patience and high motivation on me, as well as his enthusiasm and immense knowledge in flavor chemistry. I feel so proud and lucky that he was my supervisor for my Doctoral study. I am very grateful to Prof. Dr. Gertrud Elisabeth Morlock for her willingness to be my second supervisor and to review my thesis. Meanwhile, I also would like to thank Prof. Dr. Martin Rühl and Prof. Dr. Richard Göttlich as committee members for my disputation. I especially want to thank Dr. Marco Alexzander Fraatz, whose technical support and guidance made my thesis possible. His advice, assistance, encouragement, as well as his profound knowledge and practical experience helped me to move forward. I also thank him a lot for spending time and energy on revising my manuscripts. Many thanks go to all of my nice colleagues in the Institute of Food Chemistry and Food Biotechnology. The group has been a source of friendships, good advice, and strong collaboration, which guaranteed for a great working environment and gave me the family-like feel. Without the support of the working group, sensory evaluation as an important part in my Doctoral study would not have been possible. In particular, I am grateful to Dr. Andrea Katharina Bosse for enlightening me the first glance of this project. Furthermore, I would like to thank Dr. Astrid Spielmeyer for her support in revising my manuscripts and teaching me German. At the same time, many thanks go to our “Mensa team” consisted of Adrian, Ilya, and Viktor for creating so much fun. There are still so many colleagues (Tian, Theresia, Vanessa, Siegrun, Marina, Nicole, Alexander, Peter, Bianka, Stella, Florian, Michael, Maria, and Marco) in our group who gave me a lot of assistances in my experiments and care in my personal life. Thank them so much! Acknowledgements IV I have had the pleasure to work with M. Sc. Felix Horlamus, M. Sc. Monika Hallberg, B. Sc. Nicole Marie Hartung, and B. Sc. Melissa Henkes. I appreciate all their contributions of time and effort to make my Doctoral experience productive. Many thanks go to our partners. I also would like to thank Prof. Dr. Peter Czermak and M. Sc. Hendrich Quitmann from the University of Applied Sciences Mittelhessen (THM), for providing a constant supply of wort and assuring this project to smoothly proceed. I gratefully acknowledge the funding sources that made my Doctoral work possible. I appreciate China Scholarship Council (CSC) financial support for the last 3 years. I also would like to thank the DFG and the State of Hessen for funding the major instrumentation (INST 162/381-1 FUGG) and the framework of Hessen ModellProjekte, financed with funds of LOEWE – Landes-Offensive zur Entwicklung Wissenschaftlich-ökonomischer Exzellenz, Förderlinie 3: KMU-Verbundvorhaben (State Offensive for the Development of Scientific and Economic Excellence) for supporting this project (HA project no. 305/11-50). Last but not the least, many thanks go to my family, my husband’s family, and my good friends (Xiaodan, Tian, Dan, Theresia, Astrid, Adrian, Vanessa, Wenting, and Qin) for their continuous accompanying and encouragement. In particular, I would like to thank deeply my husband Zhigang for his continuous love, care, tolerance, and support in Germany. His love and suggestions made me better and better. I am so grateful and happy for the best gift – my lovely child (Ziqing / Sunnie) – who was born in Germany. All of them will support me spiritually throughout my life. Thank them so much! Abstract/summary V Basidiomycetes represent the highest developed class of fungi. They are able to synthesize pharmacological relevant secondary metabolites, natural flavor compounds, and highly sought after enzymes. Because of their biochemical potential, basidiomycetes are ideal tools for the food industry. With the recent worldwide declining consumption of beer, breweries are eagerly searching for innovative nonalcoholic fermented beverages to compensate for this negative trend. Different from microorganisms used in traditional fermented beverages, such as yeasts, lactic acid bacteria, Acetobacter species, and lower fungi, basidiomycetes possess the unique capability of producing a wide range of natural flavors in submerged cultures. Because of the consumers’ demand for natural food and the above-mentioned biochemical potential, basidiomycetes
