Abstract: The volatile compounds in 16 different storage containers and years of Xiangjiao Baijiu (XJBJ) were compared and analyzed via direct injection (DI) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and headspace extraction (HS) coupled with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) for the first time. Through HS-GC-IMS analysis, it was found that the succession rules of 14 compounds such as furfural during aging process. A total of 60 compounds were identified using DI-GC-MS. Twenty-five of these compounds were further quantified, and 19 compounds had odor activity values (OAVs) > 1, which were important contributor to aroma of XJBJ. Among them, those with OAVs >1000 included ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, ethyl butanoate, and ethyl pentanoate. Combining the results of quantitative, OAVs and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed that 10 compounds such as ethyl octanoate were the important compounds that lead to the differences between different storage types of XJBJ.
