Chinese Baijiu - Luzhou Laojiao 泸州老窖特曲

Product Information

In the production of feng-flavored baijiu, sorghum is used as the raw material, and medium-temperature Daqu or Fuqu and yeast made of barley and peas are used as the starter. Continuous glutinous rice can also be used, and fermentation occurs in a cellar that is not more than 1-year-old. The most representative product of feng-flavored baijiu is Xifeng baijiu, which is the originator and typical representative of this type of baijiu that is widely known in China. The aroma of honey is a typical sensory characteristic of feng-flavored baijiu, which originates from a unique production process, and its formation mechanisms are still unclear. The main aromatic components of feng-flavored baijiu are ethyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate, and isoamyl alcohol, and its ethyl acetate and ethyl hexanoate are in balance. Known throughout the world as the ‘Three Wonders’ and ‘Phoenix in baijiu,’ it has a wide range of representations and a profound mass base in the country. It has been reported that the aroma of pineapple in feng-flavored baijiu is closely related to the amount of four esters, five alcohols, and two acids. Appropriate proportions of ethyl lactate, ethyl hexanoate, and ethyl acetate are essential for the formation of typical feng-flavored baijiu flavors. Crucially, if the amount of ethyl lactate is too high, it will weaken the aroma of the baijiu and increase its astringency ( Jia et al., 2022b). Medicine-Flavored Baijiu Luzhou Lantian Airport was built in 1945 and initially provided an air route between China and India for the US Air Force during World War II. Services were suspended in the 1960s, but later it was used for training purposes by the Chinese Air Force. Major renovations and expansions were completed in January 2001, and now the airport serves direct flights to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Kunming, Guiyang, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Haikou, Changsha, Nanning, Xi'an, Daochengyading, Lanzhou, Lijiang, Nanjing, Wuhan and Zhengzhou. [9] The People's Liberation Army took control of Luzhou on December 6, 1949, from the Kuomintang government, two months after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In 1960, Luzhou prefecture was created with five counties that had been part of Yibin prefecture. The prefecture was upgraded to the prefecture-level city of Luzhou in 1983. Nowadays, Luzhou is considered a center of the chemical, machinery, and liquor-distilling industries. Luzhou is a key comprehensive development zone in the upper Yangtze River and Sichuan province as well as an important production base of commodity rice, fruit such as litchi and longan, cured tobacco, poultry, tea, and traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. Situated in Xuyong county, the Spring and Autumn Temple was built in 1906, during the Qing Dynasty. Originally, it was a temple for Guany (the Lord of Guan) and then rebuilt as a Shaanxi salt merchants' assembly hall. It has a typical local architecture style, and has been listed as a protected historic and cultural relic of Luzhou.

The number one selling spirit in the world, baijiu is a uniquely-flavoured, clear alcohol and plays a key role in Chinese culture – it is traditionally drunk in a series of toasts before a celebration meal. Baijuu varies hugely depending on where it is made, and the unique brewing techniques of each producer. Masao, K. & Akira, E. Inhibition of in vitro cholesterol synthesis by fatty acids. Biochim.

At present, Luzhou has developed a national chemical industry system covering production, education, scientific research, design, machine and architecture. A group of national large scale enterprises have been established and achieved a globally advanced level. Lutianhua enterprise is the most extensive carbamide and oil chemical production base in China, producing fatty acid, fatty amine, synthetic ammonia, and carbamide. [6] Its annual output of carbamide is 1.24 million tons and 0.9 million tons of synthetic ammonia. It is one of the 500 largest national enterprises. Tianhua Co, Ltd is a key enterprise which brings in 0.3 million tons of synthetic ammonia and 0.6 million tons of carbamide, processing two sets of chemical fertilizer devices with world technical levels. Luzhou Chemical Factory participates in military and civil chemical production. State-owned Torch Chemical Factory is the only producer of "801" .

The Song Dynasty was an important period in Luzhou's history. It was known as the natural granary of southern Sichuan as the liquor-distilling and salt-refining industries expanded. The method to decoct salt with natural gas was discovered at that time, according to ancient literature. In addition, trade and business between Luzhou residents and ethnic groups was brisk and a protective wall as well as forts were constructed by the local government. Baizitu is situated near the Tuojiang river, in the northwestern corner of Luzhou city. It is named for the stone inscription of the Qing Dynasty and was the protected historic and cultural relic of Luzhou. DallÜge, J., Vreuls, R. J., Beens, J. & Brinkman, U. A. T.

In 2019, Luzhou Laojiao became an associate sponsor of the Australian Open tennis tournament for five years, making it the largest Chinese sponsor in Australian Open history. [10] Court 2 at the tournament's Melbourne Park venue was named the " 1573Arena", after the company's Guojiao 1573 brand, starting from the 2019 Australian Open.

To the best of our knowledge, Luzhoulaojiao liquors have not been submitted to date to a comprehensive chemical compound screening. This was performed here using TOF-MS spectral databases including MAINLIB and REPLIB. The signal to noise criterion was adjusted to “≥50” to include most of the peaks and the identification acceptance criterion was set as “similarity > 600”. This led to the identification of more than 1,300 compounds in each type of Luzhoulaojiao liquor. Luzhoulaojiao liquor L17 was found to be the richest by this measure, with about 2,400 compounds detected. Common compounds in 18 types of Luzhoulaojiao liquor Known as ‘Chinese Fire Water’, these complex spirits are relatively unknown in the west. With their intense layered aromas, this is the drink your cabinet is missing!
