ObjectiveBy exploring the volatile components, polysaccharide composition and changes in the contents of five carbohydrate components of Polygonatum cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing, and then the effect of yellow rice wine on the odour formation of P. cyrtonema rhizoma was investigated. MethodThe volatile components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS), and sample data were subjected to principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) using SIMCA 14.1, then the differences between these components of P. cyrtonema rhizoma before and after processing were screened according to the principle of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1. Crude carbohydrate components in raw and wine-processed P. cyrtonema rhizoma were subjected to oxime and silylation, the carbohydrate components were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS), and the relative contents of various components were calculated by peak area normalization, then quantitative analysis of four carbohydrate components was also carried out. ResultA total of 23 volatile components were identified from the raw products and the wine-processed products, including 15 components in raw products and 20 components in wine-processed products. Among them, 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde had a sweet odor and their contents increased after processing, but the contents of hexanal and caproic acid decreased, new components such as 2-acetylfuran and 5-methylfuranal were produced after processing. PCA and OPLS-DA results showed that there were significant differences between raw products and the wine-processed products, a total of 13 differential compounds were screened out, of which 7 showed an upward trend in relative content and 6 showed a downward trend. A total of 7 carbohydrate components, including 5 monosaccharides and 2 disaccharides, were identified in raw products and the wine-processed products. The results of determination showed that the contents of fructose, glucose, mannose and sucrose in P. cyrtonema rhizoma increased after wine-processing, and their increases were 4.54, 1.51, 2.93, 3.66 times, respectively. ConclusionAfter processing, the increase of aromatic flavor of P. cyrtonema rhizoma may be related to the increase of the contents of aldehydes such as 2-methylbutyraldehyde and isovaleraldehyde, while the decrease of raw flavor may be related to the decrease of the contents of volatile components such as hexanal and hexanoic acid, the increase of sweet flavor may be related to the increase of the contents of monosaccharides and oligosaccharides such as fructose and sucrose.
