Abstract
Aspergillus cristatus, the predominant microbe of Fuzhuan brick tea (FBT), is responsible for the creation of distinctive golden flower and unique floral aroma of FBT. The present study examined the alterations in chemical and aromatic components of raw dark tea by solid-state fermentation using A. cristatus (MK346334), the strain isolated from FBT. As results, catechins, total ployphenols, total flavonoids, theaflavins, thearubigins and antioxidant activity were significantly reduced after fermentation. Moreover, 112 and 76 volatile substances were identified by HS-SPME-GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS, respectively, primarily composed of alcohols, ketones, esters and aldehydes. Furthermore, the calculation of odor activity values revealed that 19 volatile chemicals, including hexanal, heptanal, linalool and methyl salicylate, were the main contributors to the floral, fungal, woody and minty aroma of dark tea. The present research highlights the pivotal role played by the fermentation with A. cristatus in the chemical composition, antioxidant property and distinctive flavor of dark tea.

Abstract
The Fujian and Yunnan provinces in China are the most representative origins of white tea. However, the key differences in the chemical constituents of the two white teas have rarely been revealed. In this study, a comprehensive comparison of the aroma profiles, chiral volatiles, and glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) in Fujian and Yunnan white teas was performed, and 174 volatiles and 28 enantiomers, including 22 volatiles and six GBVs, were identified. Linalool, linalyl-β-primeveroside (LinPrim), and α-terpineol presented the opposite dominant configurations in Fujian and Yunnan white teas, and the chiral GBVs were firstly quantified with significant differences in the contents of R-LinPrim and β-d-glucopyranosides of (2R, 5R)-linalool oxide A and (2R, 5S)-linalool oxide B. Moreover, discrimination functions for Fujian and Yunnan white teas were created using nine key variables with excellent reliability and efficiency. These results provide a new method for objectively distinguishing authentic white teas according to geographical origin.

[PMID: 38731686 PMCID: PMC11083345 DOI: 10.3390/foods13091315] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/13/2024] Open
Abstract
Rougui Tea (RGT) is a typical Wuyi Rock Tea (WRT) that is favored by consumers for its rich taste and varied aroma. The aroma of RGT is greatly affected by the process of green-making, but its mechanism is not clear. Therefore, in this study, fresh leaves of RGT in spring were picked, and green-making (including shaking and spreading) and spreading (unshaken) were, respectively, applied after sun withering. Then, they were analyzed by GC-TOF-MS, which showed that the abundance of volatile compounds with flowery and fruity aromas, such as nerolidol, jasmine lactone, jasmone, indole, hexyl hexanoate, (E)-3-hexenyl butyrate and 1-hexyl acetate, in green-making leaves, was significantly higher than that in spreading leaves. Transcriptomic and proteomic studies showed that long-term mechanical injury and dehydration could activate the upregulated expression of genes related to the formation pathways of the aroma, but the regulation of protein expression was not completely consistent. Mechanical injury in the process of green-making was more conducive to the positive regulation of the allene oxide synthase (AOS) branch of the α-linolenic acid metabolism pathway, followed by the mevalonate (MVA) pathway of terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, thus promoting the synthesis of jasmonic acid derivatives and sesquiterpene products. Protein interaction analysis revealed that the key proteins of the synthesis pathway of jasmonic acid derivatives were acyl-CoA oxidase (ACX), enoyl-CoA hydratase (MFP2), OPC-8:0 CoA ligase 1 (OPCL1) and so on. This study provides a theoretical basis for the further explanation of the formation mechanism of the aroma substances in WRT during the manufacturing process.

Unraveling the Enantiomeric Distribution of Glycosidically Bound Linalool in Teas ( Camellia sinensis) and Their Acidolysis Characteristics and Pyrolysis Mechanism. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2024.

Abstract
Glycosidically bound linalool plays important roles in the formation of excellent tea flavor, while their enantiomeric distribution in teas and the actual transformations with free linalool are still unclear. In this study, a novel chiral ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry approach to directly analyze linalyl-β-primeveroside and linalyl-β-d-glucopyranoside enantiomers in teas was established and then applied in 30 tea samples. A close transformation relationship existed between the two states of linalool for their consistent dominant configurations (most S-form) and corresponding distribution trend in most teas (r up to 0.81). The acidolysis characterization indicated that free linalool might be slowly released from linalyl-β-primeveroside with stable enantiomeric ratios during long-term withering of white tea in a weakly acidic environment, along with other isomerized products, e.g., geraniol, nerol, α-terpineol, etc. Furthermore, a novel online thermal desorption-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry approach was established to simulate the pyrolysis releasing of linalyl-β-primeveroside during tea processing. Interestingly, free linalool was not the selected pyrolysis product of linalyl-β-primeveroside but rather trans/cis-2,6-dimethyl-2,6-octadiene during the high-fire roasting or baking step of oolong and green teas. The identification of above high-fire chemical marks presented great potential to scientifically evaluate the proper thermal conditions in the practical production of tea.

Abstract
A non-targeted metabolomics approach and sensory evaluation, coupled with multivariate statistical analysis, systematically uncover the impact of the rolling time on the quality parameters of black tea. GC-MS analysis reveals that a moderate extension of rolling time favorably contributes to the accumulation of characteristic aroma components in black tea. The volatile components reach their highest concentration in black tea samples processed during an 80-min rolling period. UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS analysis demonstrates a substantial decrease in the contents of catechins and flavonoids with an increase in rolling time. Simultaneously, the production of theaflavins, coupled with the degradation of green bitterness volatiles (GBVs), significantly contributes to the formation of endogenous aroma components in black tea. These findings underscore the close relationship between rolling time control and black tea quality, emphasizing that a moderate extension of the rolling time fosters the development of improved black tea flavor quality. The comprehensive quality evaluation indicates that the optimal duration is 80 min. However, the initial 0 to 20 min of rolling is a crucial phase for the genesis and transformation of black tea quality. This study offers valuable insights into the influence of rolling time on black tea quality, potentially enhancing future studies of rolling technology. It provides theoretical guidelines for optimizing the processing of Gongfu black tea.

Abstract
An optimized yellowing process for yellow tea (YT) was recently developed. The study found that the optimized yellowing process caused a significant increase in sweet and floral aromas by 31.3% and 24.0%, respectively. A total of 21 aroma-active compounds were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) combined with sensomics analysis. Quantification of the 15 aroma-active compounds and calculation of odor activity values (OAVs) showed that the OAVs of sweet and floral aroma compounds increased significantly by 986.2% and 46.4%, respectively, after the optimized yellowing process. Sensory-directed aroma reconstitution and omission experiments confirmed that dimethyl sulfide, 3-methylbutanal, β-ionone, β-damascenone, geraniol, phenylacetaldehyde, and linalool were the key odorants in YT after the optimized yellowing process. Odorant addition tests further demonstrated that β-damascenone (OAV 590.4) was the main odorant for YT sweet aroma enhancement, while β-ionone (OAV 884.6) was the main odorant for YT floral aroma enhancement.

Abstract
We aim to improve the product quality of GABA raw Pu-erh tea during development and processing. In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technology combined with relative odor activity evaluations was used to compare the volatile compounds of GABA sun-dried green tea and GABA raw Pu-erh tea. Sensory evaluation showed a higher aroma score of GABA raw Pu-erh tea than that of GABA sun-dried green tea, with significant differences in aroma type and purity. A total of 147 volatile compounds of 13 categories were detected, which differed in composition and quantity between the two teas. 2-Buten-1-one,1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1,3-cyclohexadien-1-yl)-,(E)- and beta.-myrcene largely contributed to the aroma formation of both teas. Five volatile compounds were screened as potential markers for tea aroma. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that monoterpenoid biosynthesis may be beneficial to the formation of flowery and fruity aromas in the teas. We suggest that the findings of this study may provide important guidance for the processing and optimization of GABA tea.

Abstract
Aroma is among of the most important criteria that indicate the quality of food and beverage products. Aroma compounds can be found as free molecules or glycosides. Notably, a significant portion of aroma precursors accumulates in numerous food products as nonvolatile and flavorless glycoconjugates, termed glycosidic aroma precursors. When subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis, these seemingly inert, nonvolatile glycosides undergo transformation into fragrant volatiles or volatiles that can generate odor-active compounds during food processing. In this context, microbial β-glucosidases play a pivotal role in enhancing or compromising the development of flavors during food and beverage processing. β-glucosidases derived from bacteria and yeast can be utilized to modulate the concentration of particular aroma and taste compounds, such as bitterness, which can be decreased through hydrolysis by glycosidases. Furthermore, oral microbiota can influence flavor perception by releasing volatile compounds that can enhance or alter the perception of food products. In this review, considering the glycosidic flavor precursors present in diverse food and beverage products, we underscore the significance of glycosidases with various origins. Subsequently, we delve into emerging insights regarding the release of aroma within the human oral cavity due to the activity of oral microbial glycosidases.

Abstract
Tea (Camellia sinensis) has been an immensely important commercially grown crop for decades. This is due to the presence of essential nutrients and plant secondary metabolites that exhibit beneficial health effects. UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) play an important role in the diversity of such secondary metabolites by catalysing the transfer of an activated sugar donor to acceptor molecules, and thereby creating a huge variety of glycoconjugates. Only in recent years, thanks to the sequencing of the tea plant genome, have there been increased efforts to characterise the UGTs in C. sinensis to gain an understanding of their physiological role and biotechnological potential. Based on the conserved plant secondary product glycosyltransferase (PSPG) motif and the catalytically active histidine in the active site, UGTs of family 1 in C. sinensis are identified here, and shown to cluster into 21 groups in a phylogenetic tree. Building on this, our current understanding of recently characterised C. sinensis UGTs (CsUGTs) is highlighted and a discussion on future perspectives made.

Abstract
Matcha has a unique aroma of seaweed-like, which is popular with Chinese consumers. In order to effectively understand and use matcha for drinks and tea products, we roundly analyzed the variation of main quality components of 11 matcha samples from different regions in the Chinese market. Most of matcha samples had lower ratio of tea polyphenols to amino acids (RTA), and the RTA of 9 samples of matcha was less than 10, which is beneficial to the formation of fresh and mellow taste of matcha. The total volatile compounds concentrations by HS-SPME were 1563.59 ~ 2754.09 mg/L, among which terpenoids, esters and alcohols were the top three volatile components. The total volatile compounds concentrations by SAFE was 1009.21 ~ 1661.98 mg/L, among which terpenoids, heterocyclic compounds and esters ranked the top three. The 147 volatile components with high concentration (>1 mg/L) and no difference between samples are the common odorants to the 11 samples of matcha. The 108 distinct odorants had differences among the matcha samples, which were important substances leading to the different aroma characteristics. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) showed that 11 samples of matcha were well clustered according to different components. Japanese matcha (MT, MY, ML, MR, MJ) could be clustered into two categories. The aroma composition of Guizhou matcha (GM1, GM2) was similar to that of Japanese matcha, 45 volatile components (decanal, pyrazine, 3,5-diethyl-2-methyl-, 1-hexadecanol, etc. were its characteristic aroma components. The aroma characteristics of Shandong matcha and Japanese matcha (ML, MR, MJ) were similar, 15 volatile components (γ-terpinene, myrtenol, cis-3-hexenyl valerate, etc.) were its characteristic aroma components. While Jiangsu matcha and Zhejiang matcha have similar aroma characteristics due to 225 characteristic aroma components (coumarin, furan, 2-pentyl-, etc). In short, the difference of volatile components formed the regional flavor characteristics of matcha. This study clarified the compound basis of the flavor difference of matcha from different regions in the Chinese market, and provided a theoretical basis for the selection and application of matcha in drinks and tea products.

Abstract
Tea aroma components are often stored as glycosidically bound forms in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis). However, the determination of these glycosides in tea samples is far from optimal. In the present study, we developed a high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for simultaneous quantification of eight primary aroma glycosides within 10 min. After systematic optimization of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) parameters, the proposed method was highly sensitive and accurate. Optimization of the method permitted the efficient extraction of aroma glycosides. The developed method was applied to analyze the contents of aroma glycosides in different organs of tea plants, including the bud, leaves, and stem. Contents of aroma glycosides in the harvested 'Shaancha 1' ranged from 36.1 to 40454.4 μg kg-1. Geranyl glucoside and primeveroside mainly accumulated in young leaves, while other glycosides mainly accumulated in mature leaves. The findings document a rapid, reliable, and efficient analysis method. This method will be helpful in elucidating the biosynthesis and biotransformation mechanism of tea aroma glycosides and in promoting the development of the tea industry using advanced technological control approaches during the cultivation of tea plants and tea manufacture.

Abstract
Yellow tea, a unique type of tea in China which is characterized with yellow color, has gained increasing popularity due to its pleasant taste. However, transformation of aroma compounds during sealed yellowing has been poorly understood. Results of sensory evaluation exhibited that yellowing time was the key factor for flavor and fragrance formation. A total of 52 volatile components during sealed yellowing process of Pingyang yellow soup were further collected and analyzed. The results demonstrated that the sealed yellowing process significantly increased the ratio of alcohol and aldehyde compounds in the aroma volatiles of yellow tea, which were primarily composed of geraniol, linalool, phenylacetaldehyde, linalool oxide and cis-3-hexenol, and their proportion increased with the prolongation of sealed yellowing. Mechanistic speculation revealed that the sealed yellowing process promoted release of alcoholic aroma compounds from their glycoside precursors and enhanced Strecker and oxidative degradation. This study revealed the transformation mechanism of aroma profile during the sealed yellowing process, which would facilitate processing of yellow tea.

Abstract
Yellow tea is one of the six major tea categories in China. The floral fragrance type, high-fired fragrance type, fresh fragrance type, and corn-like fragrance type were the main aroma types of yellow tea screened by QDA. A total of 103 volatiles were identified in yellow teas by HS-SPME/GC-MS analysis. Using multivariate analysis and OAVs, forty-seven aroma compounds were identified as key aroma compounds for the formation of different aroma types of yellow teas. Among them, 8, 14, 7, and 18 key aroma compounds played an important role in the formation of aroma characteristics of floral fragrance, high-fired fragrance, fresh fragrance, and corn-like fragrance types of yellow teas, respectively. Furthermore, PLS analysis revealed that 12 aroma compounds were the key contributors to the 'floral and fruity' and 'sweet' attributes, five aroma compounds contributed to the 'roasted' attribute, and four aroma compounds related to the 'fresh' and 'grassy' attributes. This study provides new insights into the aroma characteristics formation of different aroma types of yellow teas and will provide a valuable theoretical basis for improving the flavor quality of yellow tea during the manufacturing process.

Abstract
Tea is among the most consumed nonalcoholic beverages worldwide. Understanding tea flavor, in terms of both sensory aspects and chemical properties, is essential for manufacturers and consumers to maintain high quality of tea products and to correctly distinguish acceptable or unacceptable products. This article gives a comprehensive review on the aroma and off-flavor characteristics associated with 184 odorants. Although many efforts have been made toward the characterization of flavor compounds in different types of tea, modern flavor analytical techniques that affect the results of flavor analysis have not been compared and summarized systematically up to now. Thus, the overview mainly provides the instrumental flavor analytical techniques for both aroma and taste of tea (i.e., extraction and enrichment, qualitative, quantitative, and chemometric approaches) as well as descriptive sensory analytical methodologies for tea, which is helpful for tea flavor researchers. Flavor developments of tea evolved toward time-saving, portability, real-time monitoring, and visualization are also prospected to get a deeper insight into the influences of different processing techniques on the formation and changes of flavor compounds, especially desired flavor compounds and off-flavor substances present at (ultra)trace amounts in tea and tea products.

Abstract
Although aroma is one of the most essential factors determining the quality of Fu brick tea (FBT), the aroma profiles of FBTs from different manufacturing areas are rarely investigated. The aroma profiles of FBTs manufactured in five typical provinces of China were comprehensively analyzed on the basis of headspace gas chromatography–ion mobility spectrometry (HS–GC–IMS), headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS–SPME–GC–MS), sensory evaluation, odor activity value (OAV), and relative odor activity value (ROAV). HS–GC–IMS and HS–SPME–GC–MS identified 63 and 93 volatile organic compounds (VOCs), respectively. Multivariate statistical analysis indicated that the FBTs from different production regions had remarkably varied aromas. HS–SPME–GC–MS revealed that 27 VOCs (OAV >1) contributed to the overall aroma of the samples, of which 15 key differential compounds can effectively distinguish the aroma profiles of different FBTs. FBT from Shaanxi manifested a strong floral and fruity aroma; that from Hunan had a floral, grassy, and pine-woody aroma; that from Guizhou presented a grassy and herbal aroma; that from Guangxi exhibited a sweet, floral, and minty aroma; and that from Zhejiang possessed various fruit flavors and floral fragrance. OAV analysis identified the biomarkers responsible for the variation in the aroma characteristics of diverse FBTs. These biomarkers included linalool, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, α-ionone, hexanal, and ethyl hexanoate. Sensory evaluation demonstrated that the infusion color and aroma of FBT samples from different provinces also greatly varied. Network correlation analysis revealed that Aspergillus and Eurotium were the crucial microorganisms for the metabolism and formation of VOCs. These findings provide new insight into the VOCs and fragrance features of FBTs produced in different regions of China. Volatiles in Fu brick tea from five provinces of China were comprehensively analyzed. A total of 63 and 93 VOCs were identified by GC-IMS and GC-MS, respectively. Aroma profiles of Fu brick tea from five regions were greatly different. 15 key volatiles were proposed to discriminate Fu brick tea from different regions. The correlations between the key VOCs and fungal community were analyzed.

Abstract
Geraniol is a potent tea odorant and exists mainly as geranyl glycoside in Camellia sinensis. Understanding the mechanisms of geraniol biosynthesis at molecular levels in tea plants is of great importance for practical improvement of tea aroma. In this study, geraniol and its glycosides from tea plants were examined using liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. Two candidate geraniol synthase (GES) genes (CsTPS) and two Nudix hydrolase genes (CsNUDX1-cyto and CsNUDX1-chlo) from the tea genome were functionally investigated through gene transcription manipulation and gene chemical product analyses. Our data showed that in tea leaves, levels of geranyl β-primeveroside were dramatically higher than those of geranyl β-glucoside, while free geraniol was undetectable in this study. A tempo-spatial variation of geranyl β-primeveroside abundance in tea plants existed, with high levels in young and green tissues and low levels in mature or non-green tissues. Cytosolic CsNUDX1-cyto showed higher hydrolysis activity of geranyl-pyrophosphate to geranyl-monophosphate (GP) in vitro than did chloroplastidial CsNUDX1-chlo. A transgenic study revealed that expression of CsNUDX1-cyto resulted in significantly more geranyl β-primeveroside in transgenic Nicotiana benthamiana compared with non-transgenic wild-type, whereas expression of CsNUDX1-chlo had no effect. An antisense oligo-deoxynucleotide study confirmed that suppression of CsNUDX1-cyto transcription in tea shoots led to a significant decrease in geranyl β-primeveroside abundance. Additionally, CsNUDX1-cyto transcript levels and geranyl β-primeveroside abundances shared the same tempo-spatial patterns in different organs in the tea cultivar "Shucha Zao," indicating that CsNUDX1-cyto is important for geranyl β-primeveroside formation in tea plants. Results also suggested that neither of the two candidate GES genes in tea plants did not function as GES in transgenic N. benthamiana. All our data indicated that CsNUDX1-cyto is involved in geranyl β-primeveroside production in tea plants. Our speculation about possible conversion from the chemical product of CsNUDX1-cyto to geranyl β-primeveroside in plants was also discussed.

Abstract
Green tea contains polyphenols, mainly four catechins, including (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epicatechin gallate, (-)-epigallocatechin, and (-)-epicatechin. Enzyme tannase is known to hydrolyze gallated catechins into non-gallated catechins and gallic acid (GA). In this study, dried green tea leaves were treated with tannase to determine changes of volatile and non-volatile compounds by the hydrolysis. The results indicated that (-)-epigallocatechin, (-)-epicatechin, and GA increased, while (-)-epigallocatechin gallate and (-)-epicatechin gallate decreased after the treatment. The GA level increased in the treated samples, which increased titratable acidity significantly, while the pH became lower. Furthermore, the antioxidant activity of the tannase-treated tea leaves increased. The level of glycosidically bound aromas decreased with the concomitant increase of corresponding volatile compounds, while some alcohols derived from fatty acids decreased significantly after the treatment. These results suggest that tannase-treatment influences both volatile and non-volatile compounds in dried green tea leaves.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Red light withering significantly improves the sensory flavor qualities of tea, although changes in metabolites during this process have not been systematically studied until now. The present study comprehensively analyzes metabolites in withered tea leaves at 2-h intervals up to 12 h under red light (630 nm) and dark conditions using ultra performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (untargeted metabolomics). RESULTS Ninety-four non-volatile compounds are identified and relatively quantified, including amino acids, catechins, dimeric catechins, flavonol glycosides, glycosidically-bound volatiles, phenolic acids and nucleosides. The results show that amino acids, catechins and dimeric catechins are most affected by red light treatment. Ten free amino acids, theaflavins and theasinensin A increase after red light irradiation, whereas epigallocatechin gallate and catechin fall. CONCLUSION The present study provides a comprehensive and systematic profile of the dynamic effects of red light on withering tea and a rationale for its use in tea processing quality control. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Alteration of Phenolic and Volatile Compounds of Tea Leaf Extract by Tyrosinase and β-Glucosidase during Preparation of Ready-to-Drink Tea on Farm. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2022; 2022:1977762.

Abstract
The manufacturing of ready-to-drink black tea was through a long process, up to 14-18 hours. There was an alternative way to produce RTD black tea directly on the farm to reduce time production and improve the quality of black tea using exogenous enzymes, i.e., tyrosinase and β-glucosidase. Tyrosinase was investigated for the ability to improve the color of tea extract by oxidize the phenolic content of green tea leaves to theaflavin and thearubigin, and β-glucosidase can enhance the volatile compounds by hydrolyze glycosidic bonds in tea leaves. Incubation of tea leaf extract with tyrosinase produces a high content of theaflavin and good color of tea extract but lowered the antioxidant activity. According to the TF/TR ratio values, tyrosinase treated tea leaf extract was in the best quality tea range. The use of β-glucosidase showed an increase in the proportion of good volatile compounds of linalool, linalool oxide, methyl salicylate, and β-damascenone.

Abstract
Aroma substances are the most crucial criteria for the sensory evaluation of tea quality, and also key attractors influencing consumers to make the decision for purchasing tea. Understanding the aromatic properties of tea infusion during different brewing time is crucial to control the tea aromatic quality. Here, headspace and direct immersion solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME and DI-SPME), coupled with GC-MS, were employed to investigate the impact of brewing time on the changes of the volatile features of green tea infusion. Esters, aldehydes, alcohols, fatty acids, and alkaloids were the predominant volatile groups from tea infusions. Two to three minutes was identified as the best duration for the tea brewing that can maximize the abundance of aromatic chemicals in the headspace emitted from the tea infusions. The variation of the key aromatic contributors between the tea infusion and the headspace over the infusion tended to equilibrate during the tea brewing process. This study provides a theory-based reference method by analyzing the real-time aromatic characteristics in green tea. The optimal time was determined for aromatic quality control, and the complementary relationship between the volatiles in the headspace and its counterpart, tea infusion, was primarily elucidated.

Abstract
Tea aroma precursor glycosides are plant-derived natural products with great economic value. However, the preparation of these glycosides remains largely overlooked in the past decades. Herein, we report a mild, efficient, and sustainable chemocatalytic procedure for the production of tea aroma precursor glycosides. During the study of the glycosidation, the catalysts were found to be decisive in the product formation favoring different reaction pathways; in addition, the influence of molecular sieves was elucidated. With regard to these findings, the serious problem of the competing orthoester formation side reaction was successfully overcome with low catalyst loading (1 mol %) and the use of 5 Å molecular sieves, leading to the preparation of a variety of tea aroma precursor β-d-glucopyranosides and β-primeverosides on a gram scale in high yields in an economical way. Taken together, the current approach features catalytic glycosidation with non-toxic and low-cost catalysts, demonstrates highly favorable greenness and sustainability, and promises industrial production of tea aroma precursor glycosides.

Abstract
Pan-fried green tea (PGT) is an easily acceptable tea drink for general consumers. In this study, volatile profiles and characteristic aroma of 22 representative Chinese PGT samples were extracted using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) and analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) analysis, and odour activity value (OAV) calculations. In total, 88 volatile compounds were identified. Alcohols (45%), esters (19%), and ketones (16%) were the dominant volatiles, and geraniol (484.8 μg/kg) was the most abundant volatile component in PGT, followed by trans-β-ionone and linalool. In addition, the differences of aroma characteristics among PGT and other three types of green tea, namely baked green tea, steamed green tea, and sun-dried green tea, were also observed using partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) and heatmap analysis, and it was found that β-myrcene, methyl salicylate, (E)-nerolidol, geraniol, methyl jasmonate were generally present at higher content in PGT. This is the first comprehensive report describing the volatile profiles of Chinese PGT, and the findings from this study can advance our understanding of PGT aroma quality, and provide important theoretical basis for processing and quality control of green tea products. Volatiles of pan-fried green teas were extracted using stir bar sorptive extraction. Pan-fried green tea was rich in alcohols, esters, and ketones. Trans-β-ionone has both the highest odour activity value and aroma intensity. Sixteen key aroma compounds were identified by means of molecular sensory science. The differences of volatiles among four types of green teas were revealed.

Abstract
An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was established and validated for the simultaneous determination of six glycosidic aroma precursors in pomelo, including geraniol β-glucoside, geraniol β-primeveroside, linalool β-primeveroside, benzyl β-primeveroside, 2-phenylethyl β-primeveroside and nerolidol β-primeveroside. The results showed that the proposed method has the advantages of rapidity, high sensitivity, and good accuracy. Six glycosidic aroma precursors were effectively separated in a short run time (13 min), and the limit of detection, limit of quantification, recovery, and repeatability of analytes were 0.321-4.47 ng mL-1, 1.07-14.9 ng mL-1, 94.4-109.1%, and 5.2-14.5%, respectively. The developed method was applied to analyze the contents of glycosidic aroma precursors in different organs of pomelo plant, including leaves, flowers and fruits. The analytical result showed that glycosidic aroma precursor contents in plant leaves, flowers and fruits were in the range of 0-5964.9 μg kg-1, and more glycosidic aroma precursors were found in flowers than in leaves or fruits. It is envisioned that the proposed UPLC-MS/MS method have promising application in qualifying and quantifying these six glycosidic aroma precursors in pomelo.

Abstract
Lavender and its products have excellent flavor properties. However, most studies focus on the aroma profiles of lavender essential oil (LEO). The volatiles in lavender extracts (LEs), either in volatile compositions or their odor characteristics, have rarely been reported. In this study, the odor characteristics of LEs and LEO were comprehensively investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), coupled with sensory evaluation and principal chemical analysis (PCA). In addition, the extraction conditions of lavender extracts from inflorescences of Lavandula angustifolia Mill. were optimized. Under the optimal conditions of extraction, twice with 95% edible ethanol as the solvent, the LEs tended to contain the higher intensity of characteristic floral, herbal and clove-like odors as well as higher scores of overall assessment and higher amounts of linalool, linalool oxides I and II, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate and total volatiles than LEO. PCA analysis showed that there were significant differences on the odor characteristics between LEO and LEs. The LEO, which was produced by steam distillation with a yield of 2.21%, had the lower intensity of floral, clove-like, medicine-like, pine-like and hay notes, a lower score of overall assessment and lower levels of linalool oxides I and II, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate and total volatiles compared with LEs, whereas the relative contents of linalool and camphor in LEO were significantly higher than that in LEs. Furthermore, the earthy, green and watery odors were only found in LEO. Concerning the odor characteristics and volatile compositions, the LEs had better odor properties than LEO. These results provided a theoretical basis for the industrial preparation of lavender-related products.

Abstract
The aroma changes in instant white tea resulting from β-glucosidase treatment was investigated by quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), odour activity value analysis (OAV), aroma reconstruction and omission tests. The grassy, floral and sweet notes increased significantly (P < 0.05), and the roasted note decreased significantly (P < 0.05) upon β-glucosidase treatment. Quantitative analysis showed that the concentrations of benzaldehyde, benzeneacetaldehyde, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, linalool, phenylethyl alcohol, cis-linalool oxide, trans-linalool oxide, hexanol, hotrienol and (E)-2-hexen-1-ol increased significantly (P < 0.05) after treatment; however, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol isomerized to (E)-2-hexen-1-ol. OAV analysis, aroma reconstruction and the omission test showed that the grassy, floral and sweet notes increased as the (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol, cis/trans-linalool oxide and benzeneacetaldehyde increased, whereas the roasted note declined under the same conditions. The enzymatic hydrolysis of glycosidic precursors and the auto-isomerization of volatile compounds provide new information for understanding how β-glucosidase treatment improves the aroma of tea products.

Abstract
Wuyi rock tea (WRT), is one kind of oolong tea and widely appreciated for its typical 'rock flavor'. The odor characteristics of WRT during processing were comprehensive investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, sensory evaluation and odor activity value (OAV). Alcohols, alkenes and esters were the main volatiles formed during tea processes, but the WRT contained more heterocyclic compounds, among which 15 N-containing volatiles were newly identified in this study, accounting for 60.52% of total amounts of volatiles in WRT. In response, the original green and chemical odors converted to roasted and woody odors, and full fire processing was effective to enhance roasted, floral and woody odors, weaken chemical odor. 2-Ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine (OAV 4.71) was confirmed as the aroma-active compound of WRT with roasted odor by aroma recombination experiment. In addition, strong roasted, floral and moderate woody odors were perceived as the outline of 'rock flavor' in WRT aroma. These results provide theoretical basis for processing and quality control of WRT.

Abstract
Tea is among the world's most widely consumed non-alcoholic beverages and possesses enormous economic, health, and cultural values. It is produced from the cured leaves of tea plants, which are important evergreen crops globally cultivated in over 50 countries. Along with recent innovations and advances in biotechnologies, great progress in tea plant genomics and genetics has been achieved, which has facilitated our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of tea quality and the evolution of the tea plant genome. In this review, we briefly summarize the achievements of the past two decades, which primarily include diverse genome and transcriptome sequencing projects, gene discovery and regulation studies, investigation of the epigenetics and noncoding RNAs, origin and domestication, phylogenetics and germplasm utilization of tea plant as well as newly developed tools/platforms. We also present perspectives and possible challenges for future functional genomic studies that will contribute to the acceleration of breeding programs in tea plants.

Abstract
Tea aroma is one of the most important factors affecting the character and quality of tea. Here we describe the practical application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) to improve the aroma quality of teas. The changes of selected metabolites during crucial tea processing steps, namely, withering, fixing and rolling, and fermentation, were analyzed. MeJA treatment of tea leaves (12, 24, 48, and 168 h) greatly promotes the aroma quality of green, oolong, and black tea products when comparing with untreated ones (0 h) and as confirmed by sensory evaluation. MeJA modulates the aroma profiles before, during, and after processing. Benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, 2-phenylethyl alcohol, phenylacetaldehyde, and trans-2-hexenal increased 1.07- to 3-fold in MeJA-treated fresh leaves and the first two maintained at a higher level in black tea and the last two in green tea. This correlates with a decrease in aromatic amino acids by more than twofold indicating a direct relation to tryptophan- and phenylalanine-derived volatiles. MeJA-treated oolong tea was characterized by a more pleasant aroma. Especially the terpenoids linalool and oxides, geraniol, and carvenol increased by more than twofold.

Abstract
The enzymatic hydrolysis of glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) plays an important role in tea aroma formation during the tea manufacturing process. However, during the enzyme-active manufacturing process of oolong tea, most GBVs showed no reduction, while ( Z)-3-hexenyl-β-glucopyranoside significantly enhanced at the turnover stage. This study aimed to determine the reason for this increase in ( Z)-3-hexenyl-β-glucopyranoside. Continuous wounding stress in the turnover stage did not enhance the expression level of glycosyltransferase 1 ( CsGT1), while it induced a significant increase in the ( Z)-3-hexenol content ( p ≤ 0.05). Furthermore, observing the cell structures of tea leaves exposed to continuous wounding and subcellular localizations of CsGTs suggested that the interaction of ( Z)-3-hexenol (substrate) and CsGT1 (enzyme) was available. In conclusion, both continuous wounding and subcellular localizations led to a ( Z)-3-hexenyl-β-glucopyranoside enhancement mechanism during the oolong tea's turnover stage. These results advance our understanding of GBV formation during the tea manufacturing process and their relationship with the stress from the tea manufacturing process. In addition, the information will help us further evaluate contribution of GBVs to enzymatic formation of oolong tea aroma compounds.

Abstract
Plants emit a variety of volatiles in response to herbivore attack, and (Z)-3-hexenol and its glycosides have been shown to function as defence compounds. Although the ability to incorporate and convert (Z)-3-hexenol to glycosides is widely conserved in plants, the enzymes responsible for the glycosylation of (Z)-3-hexenol remained unknown until today. In this study, uridine-diphosphate-dependent glycosyltransferase (UGT) candidate genes were selected by correlation analysis and their response to airborne (Z)-3-hexenol, which has been shown to be taken up by the tea plant. The allelic proteins UGT85A53-1 and UGT85A53-2 showed the highest activity towards (Z)-3-hexenol and are distinct from UGT85A53-3, which displayed a similar catalytic efficiency for (Z)-3-hexenol and nerol. A single amino acid exchange E59D enhanced the activity towards (Z)-3-hexenol, whereas a L445M mutation reduced the catalytic activity towards all substrates tested. Transient overexpression of CsUGT85A53-1 in tobacco significantly increased the level of (Z)-3-hexenyl glucoside. The functional characterization of CsUGT85A53 as a (Z)-3-hexenol UGT not only provides the foundation for the biotechnological production of (Z)-3-hexenyl glucoside but also delivers insights for the development of novel insect pest control strategies in tea plant and might be generally applicable to other plants.

Abstract
Plants emit an overabundance of volatile compounds, which act in their producers either as appreciated attractants to lure beneficial animals or as repellent toxins to deter pests in a species-specific and concentration-dependent manner. Plants have evolved solutions to provide sufficient volatiles without poisoning themselves. Uridine-diphosphate sugar-dependent glycosyltransferases (UGTs) acting on volatiles is one important part of this sophisticated system, which balances the levels of bioactive metabolites and prepares them for cellular and long-distance transport and storage but enables the remobilization of disarmed toxins for the benefit of plant protection. This review provides an overview of the research history of glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs), a relatively new group of plant secondary metabolites, and discusses the role of UGTs in the production of GBVs for plant protection.

Enhancing monoterpene alcohols in sweet potato shochu using the diglycoside-specific β-primeverosidase. J Biosci Bioeng 2017; 125:218-223.

Abstract
Monoterpene alcohols (MTAs) are characteristic flavour-imparting compounds in sweet potato shochu (Japanese distilled spirit) that are liberated following hydrolysis by specific enzymes during fermentation. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of an exogenously added diglycoside-specific β-glycosidase (β-primeverosidase) on aroma formation during shochu brewing using various sweet potato species to address whether MTAs are predominantly present as diglycosidic precursors in raw materials. The results showed that the amount of MTAs produced from enzyme-treated mash was dramatically increased by 2- to 9-fold compared with untreated controls, and the increase varied with sweet potato species. In addition, levels of methyl salicylate, 1-octene-3-ol and ethyl benzoate were also elevated by enzyme treatment. These results indicate that a large amount of MTAs and other volatile aroma compounds are stored in the form of disaccharide β-glycosides such as β-primeverosides in sweet potato. This enzyme may therefore be useful for controlling aroma formation during shochu manufacturing, and may ultimately contribute to diversifying shochu quality.

Abstract
The major aroma components in grapes and wine include free volatile compounds and glycosidic nonvolatile compounds. The latter group of compounds is more than 10 times abundant of the former, and constitutes a big aroma reserve in grapes and wine. This review summarizes the research results obtained recently for the identification of aroma glycosides in grapes and wine, including grape glycoside structures, differences in aroma glycosides among grape varieties, hydrolysis mechanisms, and the factors that influence them. It also presents the analytical techniques used to identify the glycosidic aroma precursors. The operational strategies, challenges, and improvements of each step encountered in the analysis of glycosidic aroma precursors are described. This review intends to provide a convenient reference for researchers interested in the methods used for the determination of the aroma glucosides composition and the recognition of their chemical structures.

Abstract
Glycosylation on small molecular metabolites modulates a series of biological events in plants. However, a large number of glycosides have not been discovered and investigated using -omics approaches. Here, a general strategy named "nontargeted modification-specific metabolomics" was applied to map the glycosylation of metabolites. The key aspect of this method is to adopt in-source collision-induced dissociation to dissociate the glycosylated metabolite, causing a characteristic neutral loss pattern, which acts as an indicator for the glycosylation identification. In an exemplary application in green teas, 120 glucosylated/galactosylated, 38 rhamnosylated, 21 rutinosylated, and 23 primeverosylated metabolites were detected simultaneously. Among them, 61 glycosylated metabolites were putatively identified according to current tea metabolite databases. Thanks to the annotations of glycosyl moieties in advance, the method aids metabolite identifications. An additional 40 novel glycosylated metabolites were tentatively elucidated. This work provides a feasible strategy to discover and identify novel glycosylated metabolites in plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Modern instrumental analysis technology can provide various chemical data and information on tea samples. Unfortunately, it remains difficult to extract the useful information. We describe the use of chemical fingerprint similarities, combined with principal component and cluster analyses, to distinguish and recognize Pu-erh green teas, which from two tea mountains, Wuliang and Jingmai, in the Pu-erh district of Yunnan province. The volatile components of all 20 Pu-erh green teas (10 Wuliang and 10 Jingmai teas) were extracted and identified by headspace solid-phase micro extraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). RESULTS Sixty-three volatiles (including alcohols, hydrocarbons, ketones, and aldehydes) were identified in the 20 Pu-erh green teas, and differences in compound compositions between them were also observed. Through fingerprint similarity, combined with principal component and cluster analyses, the 20 Pu-erh green teas were differentiated successfully based on their volatile characteristics. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the GC-MS combined with chemical fingerprint and unsupervised pattern recognition method is suitable for the investigation of the volatile profiling and evaluating the quality and authenticity of teas related to the different origins.Graphical abstractDifferentiate Pu-erh green teas from different tea mountains by using chemical fingerprint similarity and multivariate statistical methods.

Abstract
A recently developed method enabled us to simultaneously characterize and quantitate glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) at picomole levels using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). On the basis of the analytical data it is possible to screen tea varieties most suitable for black tea processing, in which higher concentrations of primeverosides accumulate. The primeverosides decreased at the rolling step in black tea processing, whereas the glucopyranosides did not change much. The total contents of GBVs gradually increased at the withering steps and then remarkably increased after the fixing step at 230 °C, during oolong tea processing. The presence of 6'-O-malonyl ester type β-D-glucopyranosides in the tea samples suggested a contribution to the increment in glucopyranosides during oolong tea processing. The method was also used to analyze GBVs and their derivatives to understand their possible role in the metabolic pathway of tea.
