In recent years, the development of fermented drinks has been hindered due to acidity issues, which had a negative impact on enterprises and sustainable development. The high acidity made the fermented fruit juice muddy and lusterless, and the fruit wine was rough and uncomfortable after drinking. The causes of acid disorders were complex, and the most economical and effective methods to reduce or even eliminate acid in the fermented drinks were the biological acid reduction method. It directly used microorganisms to degrade acid, which could improve the flavor and biological activity of fermented drinks while ensuring the quality of raw materials, and had the characteristics of remarkable effect and low cost. In this paper, acid-reducing bacterium with organic acids such as lactic acid and malic acid as carbon sources and acid-reducing yeast with malic acid and citric acid as carbon sources were reviewed, and the mechanism of acid-reducing by bacterium and yeast were elaborated, and the application progress of acid-reducing microorganisms in fermented fruit juice, fruit wine and Baijiu was summarized, so as to provide a new perspective for the research and application of acid-reducing microorganisms in fermented drinks.

Microorganisms and flavor substances in stacking fermentation of sauce-flavor Baijiu were summarized, the correlation between microbial community structure and flavor substances change were expounded, and the future research direction was prospected, aming to provide scientific basis for further understanding of microbial action mechanism and its contribution to flavor formation in sauce-flavor Baijiu.
Baijiu brewing wastewater, distillers' grains and Baijiu brewing sludge are the main wastes in the Baijiu production process, with the dual characteristics of "pollution" and "resources". Under the background of "double carbon", the resource and high-value utilization of Baijiu brewing waste have become an urgent problem for Baijiu production enterprises. The physicochemical properties of Baijiu production waste and the application of anaerobic digestion technology in the recycling process of Baijiu brewing waste were described in detail. Based on the plant nutrition characteristics of biogas slurry and biogas residue, it was proposed to gradually build an ecological Baijiu enterprise circular economy model with Baijiu enterprises characteristics, and form an ecological cycle industry chain of "agriculture+Baijiu making+tourism+agriculture", in order to provide theoretical references for the green and sustainable development of Baijiu enterprises.
The soy sauce is an essential condiment in daily life, and its good color, aroma and taste are to meet the basic requirements of consumers. In the sensory evaluation of soy sauce, color is considered the primary factor, significantly influencing consumers' purchasing inclination. However, domestic soy sauce can produce brown or brown-red secondary precipitation during the storage, transportation, and sales process, which can not meet consumers' expectations for soy sauce appearance quality, but also affect the brand image of domestic soy sauce, hinder the high-end development of Chinese soy sauce industry. In this paper, the research results on the composition, formation mechanism and removal technology of secondary precipitation of domestic soy sauce were systematically reviewed, in order to provide references for the degradation or removal of glycinin B3 subunits of domestic soy sauce and solve the problem of secondary precipitation of soy sauce.
Traditional Baijiu brewing produces a large amount of distiller's grains (a by-product) which contains rich nutrients such as crude starch, crude protein, and crude fiber etc.. Distiller's grains are highly prone to spoilage, causes serious environmental burden and waste of resources if not handled properly. Therefore, the resource utilization of Baijiu distiller's grains has important economic value and environment protection significance. In this article, the research and application of resource utilization of distiller's grains in the production of distiller's grains Baijiu, organic fertilizer, forage, edible fungi, daily necessities etc. were summarized in recent years, to provide a reference for the comprehensive utilization of Baijiu distiller's grains.
In order to measure CO2 gas content in Baijiu solid state fermentation pit online, the feasibility and wide application of real-time monitoring of solid-state fermentation process in Huangochre production center of Luzhou Laojiao, the variation trend of CO2 gas content in pit was compared during fermentation process under different loading-pit grains conditions. The results showed that within 50 d of fermentation, the CO2 gas content in the pit first experienced a rapid rise stage, reaching about 90% of the peak value, and then entered a stable period lasting nearly 10 d. Finally, the CO2 gas content in the pit showed a decrease rate of about 1% per day until the end of fermentation. This parameter could reflect the normal state of fermented grains in solid-state fermentation process and provide a reliable real-time on-line monitoring method for the monitoring of solid-state fermentation process. This monitoring method overcame the shortcomings of the traditional sampling and inspection method which caused damage to the solid-state fermentation environment, and greatly improved the detection efficiency and convenience.

The results showed that the optimal detection conditions were volume fraction of ethanol extract 20%, NaCl addition 1.6 g, and headspace solid-phase microextraction time 40 min. Under the optimized conditions, TTMP had a good linear relationship in the mass concentration range of 2.0-50 ng/ml, the correlation coefficient R2 was greater than 0.999, the average adding standard recovery rate was 81.0%-112.5%, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) of precision test results was less than 10%. The analysis results of the TTMP contents during the brewing process showed that the TTMP content in the stacked fermented grains was 61.41 μg/kg, which was mainly originated from high- temperature Daqu and distiller's grains. The highest TTMP contents were found in the upper and middle layers of fermented grains after fermentation, with 220.01 μg/kg and 221.19 μg/kg, respectively, which was mainly originated from high-temperature Daqu, medium-temperature Daqu, distiller's grains, and stacked fermented grains.

The physicochemical indicators and volatile flavor compounds in highland barley Baijiu were analyzed by headspace solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) techniques, and the scavenging ability of highland barley Baijiu on 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-diaminodis-3- ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) free radical and Ferric ion reduction/antioxidant capacity (FRAP) were investigated. The results showed that highland barley Baijiu brewed with different flavor types of Jiuqu had their own characteristics. Among them, the highland barley Baijiu with Feng-flavor Jiuqu had the optimal quality indicators and antioxidant capacity, the amino acids, essential amino acids, alcohol content, liquor yield, amino acid nitrogen, and total phenols were 1 130.86 mg/L, 210.22 mg/L, 5.96%vol, 75.80%, 0.27 g/L and 451.90 mg/L, respectively. The sensory score was 83 points, the DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging abilities were 0.25 mg vitamin C equivalent (VCE)/ml and 0.176 mg VCE/ml, respectively, and the FRAP value was 0.21 mg/ml. The most volatile flavor substances were detected in highland barley Baijiu brewed with Feng-flavor Jiuqu (49 kinds), including 30 characteristic aroma compounds, and the highland barley Baijiu sample had significant mellow, floral, and fruity characteristics. In conclusion, Feng-flavor Jiuqu had potential application value in improving the quality of highland barley Baijiu.
In the stress signal transduction pathway, the regulator of sigma B protein T (RsbT) can be activated and phosphorylated under environmental stress. However, how it transmits its signal to the downstream signaling protein regulator of sigma B protein U (RsbU) remains unknown. To prevent and control Vibrio infection and clarify the tolerance mechanism and stress signal transduction of Vibrio under environmental stress, using Vibrio brasiliensis as a model strain, its physicochemical properties, functional sites and interaction mechanism were analyzed using bioinformatics software, the interaction mode of RsbU and RsbT was explored, and the enzymatic properties of RsbU were investigated. The results showed that the expression vectors were successfully constructed, and the RsbU proteins were purified. The results of sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) showed that the molecular weight of these proteins was in accordance with the expected size. RsbU was essentially a 2C protein phosphatase (PP2C), and the results obtained from Sring, a database for protein interactions network analysis, showed that the interaction scores between RsbU and RsbT were more than 0.98. Enzymatic properties results showed that the RsbU was a Ser/Thr phosphatase with a weak dephosphorylation ability that mainly acted in the prephase stage, and did not carry a phosphate group itself. Therefore, it was inferred that the N-terminal of RsbU mainly bound to RsbT to receive signals, while the C-terminal of RsbU bound to RsbT weakly for dephosphorylation, thus completing the upstream and downstream stress signaling.
In order to enhance the color of grape fruits, increase the content of phenols (such as anthocyanins), and improve the quality of wine, using Cabernet Franc (Vitis vinifera) from Hejinzun Chateau located in the Eastern foothills of Helan Mountains, Ningxia as the test material, two leaves, four leaves and six leaves were removed from the base of the new shoots at the beginning of veraison, finishing of veraison, and two weeks after veraison, and the difference of phenolic substances in ripe grape fruits with different treatments was compared. The results showed that the most leaf removal treatments could improve the soluble solid contents of grape berries (P<0.05). Leaf removal treatments at different stages and intensity of new shoots base significantly increased total anthocyanins contents in grape berries (P<0.05), and most treatments greatly enhanced the contents of total phenols, tannins, flavanols, and flavonoids (P<0.05). Leaf removal treatments significantly increased the total contents of nine main monomeric anthocyanins in the grape pericarp (P<0.05). Meanwhile, most treatments improved the proportion of coumaroylated and glycosylated anthocyanins of pericarp in the total monomeric anthocyanins. However, the leaf removal treatments of new shoots base significantly increased the contents of anthocyanins and other phenols in Cabernet Franc fruits at the Eastern foothills of Helan Mountains (P<0.05). The effects of removing 6 leaves at finishing of veraison and 4 leaves at beginning of veraison were the optimal.

The correlation analysis results showed that the antioxidant activity of Dangshen+Huangqi vinegar was significantly correlated with total flavonoids, total polyphenols, total saponins, oxalic acid and succinic acid (P<0.05), and the total saponins contributed significantly to the antioxidant activity, and the correlation coefficients with DPPH, ABTS and FRAP were 0.752, 0.711 and 0.775, respectively. The antioxidant activity of Kuqiao+Duzhongye vinegar was significantly correlated with total flavonoids, total polyphenols, chlorogenic acid and succinic acid (P<0.05), among them, chlorogenic acid contributed the most to the antioxidant activity, and the correlation coefficients with DPPH, ABTS and FRAP were 0.711, 0.694 and 0.736, respectively. PCA could effectively distinguish the two kinds of healthy vinegar.
In this study, the sensory quality, volatile flavor components and microbial communities of normal flavor (LSN) and urn odor (LS42, LS44 and LS143) red sour soups were determined using electronic nose, electronic tongue, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and high throu- ghput sequencing technology. Possible sources of undesirable flavors and their correlations with microorganisms were analyzed using aroma activity values (OAV). The results showed that the taste richness of the urn odor red sour soup was stronger, but its sour, salty, and fresh flavors were weaker than those in normal samples. A total of 138 volatile flavor compounds were detected in the red sour soups, and the types and contents of esters, alkenes and alcohols were absolute dominant, accounting for 91.19%, 85.77% and 91.22% of all volatile substances in samples LSN, LS42 and LS143. Compared with the normal samples, the short-chain fatty acids with odor such as n-valeric acid (13.599 μg/g) and butyric acid (7.319 μg/g) were detected in the sample LS143, and their OAV was greater than 1, which contributed significantly to flavor. Rhodobacter sp. 001617365, Lactobacillus acetoolerans, Sediminibacterium magnilica habituans, Bradyrhizobium sp. 000938305, Limosilactobacillus oris, and Brettanomyces custersianus were potential contributing microorganisms to the normal flavor of red sour soup. Chitinophaga vietnamensis, Mesohizobium terrae, and Rhodobacter sp. 001617365 were positively correlated with butyric acid, valeric acid, etc., which might be one of the main factors causing the urn odor of red sour soup.

With its natural geographical advantages, Hong Kong has developed into an important trade entrepot in the Asia-Pacific region and a global financial, shipping and trade center. In addition, Hong Kong's local market is small, which determines its open, export-oriented and platform-based market development model. The same is true of Hong Kong's alcoholic drinks market. In this paper, the logic and causes of the change of Hong Kong's role in trade and distribution in the Asia-Pacific region were explored from the aspects of the socio-economic development stage, the adjustment of tax policy and the change of inter-regional economic and trade relations by combing the changes of consumption structure of alcoholic drinks market in Hong Kong and the evolution of regional entrepot trade function orientation since the beginning of the 20th century. It was also suggested that Hong Kong should make strategic adjustments from the aspects of actively responding to potential regional competition and fully expanding platform functions to enhance its competitive position in the Asia-Pacific region's alcoholic drinks trade and distribution value chain division.
