Outline of Final Research Achievements	Fluorescence fingerprint (FF) measurement and multivariate analysis of Awamori samples revealed that FF could differentiate young and aged Awamori. The same samples were subjected to GCxGC-TOFMS analyses to identify 6 volatile compounds changing during aging. The same method was applied to estimate cheese maturation and FF showed high prediction accuracy for cheese maturation indices.
