Key odorants of Guojing sesame-flavor Baijiu were identified using the concept of molecular sensory science, including aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) based on gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 509 volatile compounds were detected
