The unique cellar fermentation process of Chinese strong-flavor Baijiu is the reason for its characteristic cellar aroma flavor. The types, abundance, community structure and metabolic activity of microorganisms in the pit mud directly affect the microbial balance in the white spirit production environment, promoting the formation of typical aromas and influencing the quality of CFSB. During the production process, the production of off-flavor in the cellar may occur. The aim of this study is to elucidate the differences in microbiota and flavor between normal pit mud and abnormal pit mud (pit mud with off-flavor). A total of 46 major volatile compounds were identified, and 24 bacterial genera and 21 fungal genera were screened. The esters, acids, and alcohols in the abnormal pit mud were lower than those in the normal pit mud, while the aldehydes were higher. 3-Methyl indole, which has been proven to be responsible for the muddy and musty flavors, was detected in both types of pit mud, and for the first time, high levels of 4-methylanisole was detected in the pit mud. The microbial composition of the two types of pit mud showed significant differences in the bacterial genera of Sporosarcina, Lactobacillus, Garciella, Anaerosalibacter, Lentimicrobium, HN-HF0106, Petrimonas, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_12 and Bacillus, and the fungal genera of Millerozyma, Penicillium, Mortierella, Monascus, Saccharomyces, Issatchenkia, Pithoascus, Pseudallescheria, and Wickerhamomyces. Additionally, we speculate that Sporosarcina is the predominant bacterial genus responsible for the imbalance of microbiota in pit mud.
