To systematically reveal the microbiota and volatile flavor profiles of traditional fermented\n jiangshui,<\/jats:italic>\n 40 traditional homemade\n jiangshui<\/jats:italic>\n samples collected from Gansu (GS), Shaanxi (SN), and Shanxi (SX) were analyzed.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n \n Physicochemical analysis showed that samples from GS had significantly higher pH levels but lower total titratable acidity (TTA) and lactic acid content than samples from SN and SX, whereas SN samples exhibited the highest acetic and tartaric acid levels. All samples maintained safe nitrite levels (<\u200920\u2009mg\u2009kg\n \u22121<\/jats:sup>\n ). Free amino acid (FAA) profiling revealed that SN samples had the highest total FAA content among the three regions. PacBio third\u2010generation full\u2010length 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing identified 1708 bacterial and 530 fungal species. Dominant taxa included\n Limosilactobacillus fermentum<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Lactobacillus amylolyticus<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Geotrichum candidum<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Pichia kudriavzevii<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Kazachstania exigua<\/jats:italic>\n . Electronic nose (E\u2010nose) analysis demonstrated a distinct separation between GS samples and SN\/SX samples in flavor profiles. Furthermore, headspace solid\u2010phase microextraction gas chromatography quadrupole time\u2010of\u2010flight mass spectrometry (HS\u2010SPME\u2010GC\u2010Q\u2010TOF\/MS) analysis detected 74 volatile flavor compounds (VFCs). Nine key differential compounds (variable importance in projection (VIP)\u2009>\u20091 and odor activity value (OAV)\u2009>\u20091), including 1\u2010octen\u20103\u2010ol, hexanal, and dimethyl disulfide, contributed to flavor differentiation among the samples. Correlation analysis suggested that\n Limosilactobacillus<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Loigolactobacillus<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Schleiferilactobacillus<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Paraburkholderia<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Pichia<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Kurtzmaniella<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Wickerhamomyces<\/jats:italic>\n were potentially associated with the formation of key flavor compounds.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n \n This study clarifies physicochemical, microbiota and flavor profiles of traditional homemade\n jiangshui<\/jats:italic>\n from Northwest China,
