CRP 16S rRNA Sequencing
In this study, microbial profiling (16S and ITS sequencing) was performed on Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (CRP) with different storage years (1, 3, 5, and 10 years) to investigate the dynamic succession patterns of microorganisms across different aging years. Furthermore, GC-MS and GC-IMS were used to determine flavor compounds, and correlation analysis was applied to explore the relationship between microbial community succession and flavor variation in aged CRP.
