Abstract
Fu Brick Tea (FBT) is characterized by Fungus Aroma (FA), which determines the quality of FBT products. However, the aroma constituents and their interactive mechanism for FA remain unclear. In this study, the FBT sample with the optimal FA characteristics was selected from 29 FBTs. Then, 19 components with OAV ≥ 1 were identified as the odorants involved in the FA formation. The aroma recombination test suggested that the FA was potentially produced by the synergistic interplay among the 15 key odorants, including (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, (E)-2-nonenal, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (E)-2-octenal, (E)-β-ionone, 4-ketoisophorone, dihydroactinidiolide, (E)-β-damascenone, 1-octen-3-ol, linalool, geraniol, heptanal, hexanal, and phenylacetaldehyde. And, the synergistic effects between them were preliminarily studied by aroma omissions, such as modulatory effects, masking effects, compensatory effects, and novelty effects, ultimately contributing to the FA. In all, this work helps us better understand the formation of the FA and provides a basis for the improvement of FBT production technology.

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
As a nutritious plant with valuable potential, the Moringa oleifera Lam. (MOL) leaf addition on Fuzhuan brick tea (FBT) for the co-fermentation (MOL-FBT) was an industry innovation and a new route to make full use of MOL leaf. After optimization of the extraction conditions, the best conditions for the polyphenols extraction method from MOL-FBT (MFP) were 60°C for 40 min (1:80, V/W) using response surface methodology. A total of 30 phenolics were identified and quantified. Most of the polyphenols were increased after adding MOL leaf for co-fermentation compared to FBT polyphenols. In particular, caffeic acids were found only in MFP. Moreover, the MFP received high value in taste, aroma, and color. In total, 62 volatile flavor compounds, consisting of 3 acids, 5 alcohols, 15 aldehydes, 4 esters, 20 hydrocarbons, 10 ketones, and 5 others, were identified in MFP. In addition, MFP inhibited 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation in a dose-dependent manner and decreased lipid accumulation via the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ)/CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (CEBPα)/cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) axis and induced a brown adipocyte-like phenotype. In vivo experiments were further conducted to confirm the in vitro results. MFP regulated lipid accumulation, glucose/insulin tolerance, improved liver and kidney function, and inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors by the PPARγ/CEBPα/CD36 axis and alleviated inflammation in high fat and high fructose diet-induced obese mice. In summary, MFP possesses high-quality properties and anti-obesity effects, as well as the great potential to be used as a novel functional food product.

Abstract
Aroma is one of the most outstanding quality characteristics of Qingzhuan tea (QZT), but its formation is still unclear. Thus, the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the whole processing of QZT were investigated by headspace solid-phase microextraction/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Based on 144 identified VOCs, the results showed that de-enzyming, sun-drying, and piling fermentation were the key processes of QZT aroma formation. Furtherly, 42 differential VOCs (VIP > 1.0 and p < 0.05) and 16 key VOCs (rOAV > 1.0 and/or ROAV > 1.0) were screened. Especially, sulcatone and β-ionone (rOAV > 100 and ROAV > 10) were considered the most important contributors to the aroma of QZT. The metabolisms of key VOCs were mainly involved in oxidative degradation of fatty acids, degradation of carotenoids, and methylation of gallic acid. This study could help to more comprehensively understand the aroma formation in QZT processing at an industrial scale.

Abstract
Aroma is a key indicator of the quality and value of Pu'er tea. A total of 36 aroma components were detected,which Saccharomyces, Rhizopus, and Aspergillus niger, were in the ratios of 2:1:2, 2:2:2, and 2:3:2 inoculated to ferment Pu'er tea, comparing with natural fermentation. In addition, 12 key aroma compounds were identified by analysing ROAVs. Methoxyphenyl compounds and β-ionone were the primary contributors to the formation of aged and woody aroma when fermenting Pu'er tea naturally or using Rhizopus, while linalool and its oxides, benzyl alcohol, hexanal, and limonene were the primary contributors to the formation of floral and fruity aroma when fermenting Pu'er tea using synergistic fermentation with Saccharomyces, Rhizopus, and Aspergillus niger. This study identified the key aroma components of the Pu'er tea fermented using five methods, which revealed and demonstrated the potential application of synergistic effects of different microorganisms in the changes of aroma of Pu'er tea.

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.

PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 12:4102.

Abstract
Understory planting affects the growth environment of tea plants, regulating the tea plant growth and the formation of secondary metabolites, which in turn affects the flavor of Xiaobai white tea. The present research adopted biochemical composition determination, widely targeted volatilities (WTV) analysis, multivariate statistical analysis, and odor activity value (OAV) analysis to analyze the characteristics in the macro-composition and volatile compounds of understory white tea. The sensory evaluation results indicated that understory Xiaobai white tea (LWTs) was stronger than ordinary Xiaobai white tea (PWTs) in terms of the taste of smoothness, sweetness, and thickness as well as the aromas of the flower and sweet. Understory planting reduced light intensity and air temperature, increased air humidity, organic matter, total nitrogen, and available nitrogen contents, which improved the growth environment of tea plants. The phytochemical analysis showed that the water-extractable substances, caffeine, flavonoids, and soluble sugar contents of understory tea fresh-leaf (LF) were higher than those of ordinary fresh-leaf (PF). The phytochemical analysis showed that the free amino acids, theaflavins, thearubigins, water-extractable substances, and tea polyphenols contents of LWTs were significantly higher than those of PWTs, which may explain the higher smoothness, sweetness, and thickness scores of LWTs than those of PWTs. The 2-heptanol, 2-decane, damasone, and cedar alcohol contents were significantly higher in LWTs than in PWTs, which may result in stronger flowery and sweet aromas in LWTs than in PWTs. These results provide a firm experimental basis for the observed differences in the flavor of LWTs and PWTs.

Sensomics-Assisted Characterization of Fungal-Flowery Aroma Components in Fermented Tea Using Eurotium cristatum. JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY 2023; 71:18963-18972.

Abstract
Fermented tea (FT) using a single Eurotium cristatum strain can produce a pleasant fungal-flowery aroma, which is similar to the composite aroma characteristic of minty, flowery, and woody aromas, but its molecular basis is not yet clear. In this study, solvent-assisted flavor evaporation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry were applied to isolate and identify volatiles from the FT by E. cristatum. The application of an aroma extract dilution analysis screened out 43 aroma-active compounds. Quantification revealed that there were 11 odorants with high odor threshold concentrations. Recombination and omission tests revealed that nonanal, methyl salicylate, decanoic acid, 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, α-terpineol, phenylacetaldehyde, and coumarin were the major odorants in the FT. Addition tests further verified that methyl salicylate, 4-methoxybenzaldehyde, and coumarin were the key odorants for fungal-flowery aroma, each corresponding to minty, woody, and flowery aromas, respectively. 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde and coumarin were newly found odorants for fungal-flowery aroma in FT, and 4-methoxybenzaldehyde had not been reported as a tea volatile compound before. This finding may guide future industrial production optimization of FT with improved flavor.

Effects of solid-state fermentation with Bacillus subtilis LK-1 on the volatile profile, catechins composition and antioxidant activity of dark teas. Food Chem X 2023; 19:100811. [PMID: 37780291 PMCID: PMC10534189 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2023.100811] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/18/2023] [Revised: 07/16/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/03/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, the solid-state fermentation (SSF) of dark tea was carried out using Bacillus subtilis LK-1, which was isolated from Fu brick tea (FBT). The effects of SSF with B. subtilis on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), non-volatile metabolites, and antioxidant activities of dark tea was investigated. A total of 45 VOCs were identified, primarily consisting of ketones (18), hydrocarbons (8), aldehydes (7), and alcohols (6). Following fermentation, the content of key odor active substances such as linalool, β-ionone, and 3,5-octadiene-2-one significantly increased, resulting in an enhanced floral and fruity aroma of dark tea. Furthermore, new flavor substances like geranyl isovalerate and decanal were produced during SSF, enriching the aroma profile of dark tea. Non-ester catechins demonstrated a drastic increase, while ester catechins remarkably decreased after SSF. Furthermore, SSF led to a slight decrease in the total polyphenols content and antioxidant activity of dark tea. There is a close relationship between VOCs and the main non-volatile metabolites during SSF. Overall, this study highlighted the great impact of SSF with B. subtilis on the metabolites of dark tea and provided valuable insights into the role of bacteria in shaping the metabolite profile of FBT.

Abstract
Storage time is one of the important factors affecting the aroma quality of Pu-erh tea. In this study, the dynamic changes of volatile profiles of Pu-erh teas stored for different years were investigated by combining gas chromatography electronic nose (GC-E-Nose), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). GC-E-Nose combined with partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) realized the rapid discrimination of Pu-erh tea with different storage time (R2Y = 0.992, Q2 = 0.968). There were 43 and 91 volatile compounds identified by GC-MS and GC-IMS, respectively. A satisfactory discrimination (R2Y = 0.991, and Q2 = 0.966) was achieved by using PLS-DA based on the volatile fingerprints of GC-IMS. Moreover, according to the multivariate analysis of VIP > 1.2 and univariate analysis of p < 0.05, 9 volatile components such as linalool and (E)-2-hexenal were selected as key variables to distinguish Pu-erh teas with different storage years. The results provide theoretical support for the quality control of Pu-erh tea.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to reveal the molecular basis of aroma changes during storage of An tea (AT). The key volatile compounds in AT were screened using SPME-GC-MS and SPE-GC-MS analytical techniques in combination with odor activity value (OAV) and flavor dilution factor (FD). The results showed that with the increase of storage time the stale and woody aromas were revealed. Esters, acids and hydrocarbons are the main types of volatile compounds in AT, and their content accounts for 52.69 %-61.29 % of the total volatile compounds. The key volatile compounds with stale and woody aromas during AT storage were obtained by OAV value and FD value, namely ketoisophorone (flavor dilution factor, FD = 64), linalool oxide C (FD = 64), 1-octen-3-ol (OAV > 1, FD = 32), 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (FD = 16), naphthalene (OAV > 1, FD = 32), 3,4-dimethoxytoluene (FD = 16), and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (FD = 8). Our research provides a scientific basis and insights for the improvement of quality during the storage of dark tea.

Abstract
Fu brick tea (FBT) is popular for its unique 'fungal flower' aroma, however, its key odor-active compounds are essentially unknown. In this study, the odor-active compounds of "stale-fungal" aroma (CJX), "fresh-fungal" aroma (QJX), and "fermentation-fungal" aroma (FJX) types FBT were extracted and examined by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatographyolfactometry (GC-O). A total of 43 volatile and 38 odor-active compounds were identified by these methods. Among them, the content of dihydroactindiolide (4596-13189 µg/L), (E)-linalool oxide (2863-6627 µg/L), and benzyl alcohol (4992-6859 µg/L) were highest. Aroma recombination experiments further verified that these odor-active compounds could be simulated the overall aroma profile of FBT successfully. Furthermore, omission experiments confirmed that 15, 20, and 15 key odor-active compounds in CJX, QJX, and FJX FBT, respectively. This study will provide a theoretical basis for comprehensively understanding the formation of characteristic aromas in FBT.

Abstract
Instant dark tea (IDT) was prepared by liquid-state fermentation inoculating Eurotium cristatum. The changes in the volatile compounds and characteristic aroma of IDT during fermentation were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry by collecting fermented samples after 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 days of fermentation. Components with high odor activity (log2FD ≥ 5) were verified by gas chromatography-olfactometry. A total of 107 compounds showed dynamic changes during fermentation over 9 days, including 17 alcohols, 7 acids, 10 ketones, 11 esters, 8 aldehydes, 37 hydrocarbons, 4 phenols, and 13 other compounds. The variety of flavor compounds increased gradually with time within the early stage and achieved a maximum of 79 compounds on day 7 of fermentation. β-Damascenone showed the highest odor activity (log2FD = 9) in the day 7 sample, followed by linalool and geraniol. These results indicate that fungal fermentation is critical to the formation of these aromas of IDT.

Abstract
The identification of geographical origin is an important factor in assessing the quality of aromatic and medicinal seeds such as Black Mahlab (Monechma ciliatum). However, at present, there are no studies concerning Black Mahlab Seeds (BMSs). To identify the geographical origin of BMSs, we have used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-NIR) combined with chemometrics. Chemometrics analysis showed that FT-NIR and GC-MS can be used to discriminate the geographical origin of BMSs. FT-NIR coupled with the partial least squares regression (PLSR) was applied to develop the calibration models. The calibration models had a coefficient of determination (Rc2) of 0.82 for coumarin and 0.81 for methyl salicylate. The prediction model (Rp2) values ranged from 0.83 for coumarin to 0.77 for methyl salicylate. Overall, the chemometrics presented correct classification, and PLSR accurately predicted the volatiles, with an RMSEP range of 0.9 to 0.16 for the two volatiles targeted.

Yang L, Lu Z, Lu J, Wu D. Evaluation of the antioxidant characteristics of craft beer with green tea. J Food Sci 2023; 88:625-637. [PMID: 36576119 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 11/16/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
The addition of green tea as antioxidants to beer can improve the beer's flavor stability by protecting against staling during storage. To analyze the effect of different green teas on the flavor stability of beer, we developed an approach to rapidly evaluate their antioxidant activity. Ten types of craft beer were produced by adding different kinds of green tea during brewing, and their antioxidant activity and phenolic profiles were evaluated. The results showed remarkable variations in antioxidant activity and antioxidative compound contents, which were considerably higher in green tea beers than in non-tea beer (p < 0.05). A comprehensive evaluation function was developed to evaluate the total antioxidant activity of beers using principal component analysis. The highest total antioxidant activity was observed in Taiping Houkui beer, with a comprehensive evaluation score of 2.53. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, (-)-epicatechin gallate, and (-)-epigallocatechin were strongly correlated with the total antioxidant activity of green tea beers (p < 0.01). The summation of their contents represented more than 60% of the total phenolic content of the teas, which can be used to predict the total antioxidant activity of green tea beers. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Flavor stability is of prime concern for brewers, and flavor aging is increasingly becoming the limiting factor in beer shelf life. The application of green tea as antioxidants in beer can improve the flavor stability by protecting against beer staling during storage. The analytical method developed in this study will contribute to the rapid comparison of the effect of different green teas on the flavor stability of beer. Furthermore, the research findings demonstrate the potential benefits of green teas to beer flavor stability, which is of considerable importance in promoting the development and consumption of green teas.

Abstract
The honeycomb composition is very complex, containing honey, royal jelly, pollen, and propolis, and thus contains a large number of bioactive ingredients, such as polyphenols and flavonoids. In recent years, honeycomb as a new functional food resource has been favored by many bee product companies, but the basic research on honeycomb is lacking. The aim of this study is to reveal the chemical differences between A. cerana honeycombs (ACC) and A. mellifera honeycombs (AMC). In this paper, we studied the volatile organic components (VOCs) of ACC and AMC by solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME/GC-MS). A total of 114 VOCs were identified in 10 honeycombs. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) revealed that the chemical composition of ACC and AMC were different. Additionally, orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) revealed that benzaldehyde, octanal, limonene, ocimene, linalool, α-terpineol, and decanal are the significant VOCs in AMC extracts, which are mainly derived from propolis. OPLS-DA model also identified 2-phenylethanol, phenethyl acetate, isophorone, 4-oxoisophorone, betula, ethyl phenylacetate, ethyl palmitate, and dihydrooxophorone as potential discriminatory markers of ACC, which likely contribute to protecting the hive against microorganisms and keep it clean.

Abstract
Fenghuang Dancong, Tieguanyin, and Dahongpao teas are belonged to semi-fermented oolong teas and are famous for their unique aroma. However, reports regarding the systematic comparison, differentiation, and classification of the volatile components of these three types of oolong teas are lacking. In this study, we aimed to establish a method for distinguishing these three types of oolong teas. The volatile components in a total of 21 tea samples of these three types of oolong teas were extracted, determined, and identified by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In addition, chemometric methods such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), principal component analysis (PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used for distinguishing and classifying the three types of oolong teas on the basis of the similarities and differences in the volatile components. The results showed that 125 volatile components were extracted and identified from the three types of oolong teas, among which 53 volatile components overlapped among the samples. The results of HCA indicated that the samples of each of the three types of oolong teas could be placed in one category when the t value was 220. The results of PCA and OPLS-DA showed that the volatile components such as dehydrolinalool, linalool oxide II, linalool, α-farnesene, linalool oxide I, β-ocimene, nerolidol, cis-3-butyric acid folate, myrcene, and (Z)-hexanoic acid-3-hexenyl ester are the characteristic components, which can be used to distinguish the three types of oolong teas. We developed a simple, fast, and efficient method for distinguishing three types of oolong teas and provided a feasible technique for the identification of oolong tea types.

Discrimination and characterization of the volatile profiles of five Fu brick teas from different manufacturing regions by using HS-SPME/GC-MS and HS-GC-IMS. Curr Res Food Sci 2022; 5:1788-1807. [PMID: 36268133 PMCID: PMC9576573 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2022.09.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2022] [Revised: 09/17/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
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.

Abstract
Abstract
This study tested the possibility of using non-targeted analysis of volatile organic compounds by headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with chemometrics as a potential tool for differentiating leg meat of oat- and wheat-fed (ad libitum) White Kołuda geese. Thirty-six classification models were obtained for which the correct classification rate and classification accuracy for oatfed and wheat-fed geese were calculated based on a seven-fold cross-validation. Generally, the most advantageous method of the sample preparation was the high-temperature heat treatment version, whereas the highest correct classification rate was obtained when the chemometric analysis was carried out on the female, then male, and finally male + female variant of group comparisons (P<0.01). Furthermore, log-transformation appeared to be a slightly better data preprocessing technique in comparison to systematic ratio normalization. The obtained classification models can potentially differentiate the meat of oat-fattened from wheat-fattened White Kołuda geese.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Floral and sweet odors are two typical characteristic aromas of Congou black tea, but their aroma-active compounds are still unclear. Characterizing the key aroma-active compounds can provide a theoretical foundation for the practical aroma quality evaluation of Congou black tea and directional processing technology of high-quality black tea with floral or sweet odors. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) combined with odor activity value (OAV) is often used to screen key aroma-active substances, but the interaction between aroma components and their impact on the overall sensory quality is ignored. Therefore, in this study, OAV combined with variable importance in projection (VIP) and Spearman correlation analysis (SCA) were used to characterize the aroma-active components of Congou black teas with floral and sweet odors. RESULTS Eighty-five volatiles were identified in these samples using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Twenty-three compounds were identified as potential markers for the floral and sweet odors of Congou black teas from orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Eighteen compounds were selected as candidate aroma compounds based on GC-O analysis and OAV calculations. In addition, 26 compounds were screened as crucial aroma compounds based on SCA. Finally, 19 compounds were evaluated as key aroma compounds by the comprehensive evaluation of VIP, OAV, and SCA. Terpenoids are the main active compounds that contribute to the floral odor of Congou black tea, whereas aldehydes are the key compounds for the sweet odor. CONCLUSION The proposed method can effectively screen the aroma-active compounds and can be used for comprehensive quality control of products. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Pu-Erh tea, as a typical post-fermented tea, can be divided into raw Pu-Erh tea (RAPT) and ripened Pu-Erh tea (RIPT) according to the processing technology. It is famous for its unique aroma after aging. Although previous research on the aroma characteristics of Pu-Erh tea mostly focused on the aroma compounds, little research on chiral compounds in RAPT and RIPT has been performed. Therefore, the current work aims to explore the aroma characteristics of Pu-Erh tea from the perspective of enantiomers of chiral compounds. A total of 15 enantiomers were determined in this study, among which (R)-(-)-2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone, (R)-(-)-linalool, (S)-(+)-linalool, (R)-(+)-δ-octanolactone, (R)-(+)-γ-nonanolactone, (2R,5R)-(+)-theaspirone A, and (R)-(-)-dihydroactinidiolide were identified as enantiomeric compounds that play an important role in the aroma of RAPT and RIPT. Furthermore, (2S,5R)-trans-linalool oxide and (R)-(+)-α-terpineol were important contributors to the aroma profile of RAPT, while (S)-(+)-2-methylbutanal, (S)-(-)-limonene, S-(-)-α-terpineol, and (1R,2R)-(-)-methyl jasmonate contributed to the characteristic aroma of RIPT. The addition of these enantiomeric compounds brings the aroma closer to that of the original tea sample. In addition, the analysis of chiral enantiomers of linalool, limonene, theaspirone A, and γ-nonanolactone can provide guidance for the quality and flavor control of Pu-Erh tea aroma.

Abstract
Chinese Enshi green tea quality varies with tea tree varieties. Chlorophyll and chlorophyllide determine the green tea color. Echa 10 endows Enshi green tea with fresh and mellow taste. Echa 10 endows Enshi green tea with clear flavor and honeysuckle fragrance. Phenethyl alcohol, jasmine, dodecane and octadecane contribute to honeysuckle scent.
Green tea processed by Echa 10 was shown to have a fresh and mellow taste as well as clean aroma with a clear honeysuckle fragrance. The colors of different Enshi green teas are closely related with the content of chlorophyll and chlorophyllide. The five green teas also vary in their aroma style. Echa 10 imparts a special honeysuckle fragrance, which was further analyzed by molecular sensory analysis and the formation of this honeysuckle fragrance was attributed to the key components of dodecane, octadecane, phenethyl alcohol, and jasmonone. In aroma evaluation, Echa 10 green tea showed the best performance, which is mainly related with the content of geraniol, linalool, phenethyl alcohol, and benzyl alcohol. Additionally, Echa 10 scored the highest in taste evaluation, which is mainly determined by the contents and ratios of tea polyphenols, amino acids, caffeine, and soluble sugars.

Abstract
Aroma characteristics of Fu brick tea were classified into three types. Key aroma compounds in three aroma types of Fu brick tea were identified. Relationship between aroma compounds and aroma attributes was illuminated.
Aroma is one of the most important sensory properties of tea. Floral-fungal aroma type, ripe-fungal aroma type and fresh-fungal aroma type were the main aroma types of Fu brick tea by QDA. A total of 112 volatile compounds were identified and quantified in tea samples by HS-SPME/GC–MS analysis. Ten voaltiles in floral-fungal aroma type, eleven voaltiles in ripe-fungal aroma type, and eighteen voaltiles in fresh-fungal aroma type were identified as key aroma compounds for the aroma characteristics formation in three aroma types of Fu brick tea. In addition, PLS analysis revealed that 3,4-dehydro-β-ionone, dihydro-β-ionone, (+)-carotol and linalool oxide Ⅱ were the key contributors to the ‘floral and fruity’ attribute, α-terpineol contributed to ‘woody’ and ‘stale’ attributes, and thirteen aroma compounds related to ‘green’ attribute. Taken together, these findings will provide new insights into the formation mechanism of different aroma characteristics in Fu brick tea.

Abstract
The sensory qualities, aroma profile, and microstructural features of instant Pu-erh teas (IPTs) produced by electrostatic spray drying (ESD) were evaluated by sensory and instrumental analyses and compared with those produced by other drying methods (freeze-drying [FD], vacuum drying [VD], and conventional spray drying [CSD]). The sensory qualities of ESDIPT were similar to those of FDIPT, and better than those of VDIPT and CSDIPT. Eighty-eight volatiles were detected in all IPTs, and 45 odor-active compounds were captured. Most of their OAVs were higher in ESDIPT than in VDIPT and CSDIPT but were lower than those in FDIPT. Dihydro-β-ionone had the highest OAV. Aroma recombination experiments were performed to verify the identification results. ESDIPT was present in the shape of microspheres with many regular concave surfaces, which was different from those treated by other drying methods. In terms of sensory quality and productivity, ESD would be a potential method for IPT production.

Abstract
Aspergillus niger is one of the dominant microorganisms presented in dark tea fermentation. In this study, the biotransformation of steamed green tea leaves fermented by A. niger PW-2 was characterized using metabolomic and proteomic approaches. We observed that, after fermentation, the contents of volatile compounds contributing to the “green” aroma, including linalool, L-α-terpineol and geraniol, decreased significantly. Meanwhile, the astringency taste and contents of metabolites contributing to the taste (catechins) reduced significantly during fermentation. Additionally, the contents of theabrownins, which have health benefits, obviously increased. The bitter and umami tastes were also changed due to the variations in bitter-taste and umami-taste amino acids. We also found that glycoside hydrolases, tannases, catechol oxidases, peroxidases and laccases secreted by A. niger PW-2 were responsible for the metabolism of phenolic compounds and their derivatives (theaflavins, thearubingins and theabrownins). Finally, the metabolic pathways involved in the biosynthesis and degradation of characteristic metabolites were found to reveal the biotransformation characteristics of dark tea fermented with A. niger PW-2.

Abstract
To investigate the effects of different aging times, three An–tea samples were selected for comparison with a non-aged sample as the control (CK, one-year-old) and labeled as high-aged (HAS, 12 years old), medium-aged (MAS, 7 years old), and low-aged samples (LAS, 2 years old). Changes in the volatile components of the different An–tea samples were investigated using headspace–solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The volatile components of An–tea consisted of eight types of compounds. Aldehydes and hydrocarbons were dominant in LAS, while esters, ketones, alcohols, nitrogen-containing compounds, and ethers were the most abundant compound in MAS. Esters were dominant in HAS, while phenols were only present in LAS and CK. As aging time increased, the number of identical compounds gradually decreased, while the relative contents of the alcohols also decreased. Except for CK, the contents of ketones and aldehydes gradually decreased as the aging time increased. The content of aldehydes greatly increased during the initial aging period. Ketones and esters had markedly increased in HAS, while their abundance in LAS was close to that in CK. The comprehensive quality score of the volatile components obtained by principal component analysis was highest for MAS, followed by HAS and LAS, with CK having the lowest score.

Abstract
Changes in key odorants and aroma profiles of Qingzhuan tea (QZT) during its manufacture were determined using headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography-mass spectrometry/olfactometry. An aroma profile was constructed to illustrate sensory changes during manufacture. The characteristic aroma of QZT was aged fragrance, which was mostly developed during pile fermentation and was enhanced during the aging and drying stages. Using volatile compounds found in the raw materials, sun-dried green tea and QZT finished product were compared by orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis. Among 108 detected volatiles, 19 were significantly upregulated and 15 were downregulated. (E)-β-Ionone, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, 1-octen-3-one, (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, (E,E)-2,4-nonadienal, safranal, (E)-2-nonenal, α-ionone, and 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene were found to be significant contributors to the aged QZT fragrance, reflecting their high odor-activity values and aroma intensities. Finally, the metabolic transformation of key aroma-active compounds was systematically analyzed. This study provided a theoretical basis for improving the processing and quality of QZT.

Abstract
Common variations of traditional consecutive infusions of mate (Ilex paraguariensis) tea were studied. Effects of tea grinding type and water temperature on the extraction of volatile and non-volatile compounds were elucidated. Extraction behavior was determined mainly by grinding type and to a minor extent by water temperature. The extraction behavior along the series of infusions is mostly driven by the way the water can access and flow through the tea mass. This processes are impaired by the formation of clogging layers which are more intense upon the increasing abundance of tea particles of sufficiently small size and high water temperatures.

Screening of Volatile Compounds in Mate (Ilex paraguariensis) Tea—Brazilian Chimarrão Type—By HS-SPDE and Hydrodistillation Coupled to GC-MS. SEPARATIONS 2021.

Abstract
The volatile fraction of mate (Ilex paraguariensis) tea—specifically Brazilian chimarrão type, which has an odor profile comprising distinctive fresh, green, grass, and herbal notes—was investigated. Hydrodistillation in a Clevenger apparatus was employed in order to extract volatiles from the tea matrix. Headspace–solid-phase dynamic extraction (HS-SPDE) was employed to extract the volatiles from two types of infusions of this tea—a simple single infusion and a traditional preparation of consecutive infusions. Volatiles were analyzed by gas chromatography–flame ionization detection/mass spectrometry (GC-FID/MS). In total, 85 compounds were either identified or tentatively identified and semi-quantified. Semi-quantification comprised peak area integration of all the peaks (including the unidentified ones) in the chromatogram. Results obtained by hydrodistillation and by HS-SPDE were distinct, covering mostly different ranges of volatility and showing only 15 compounds in common. The identified compounds had their respective average and minimum odor thresholds and odor characteristics compiled from the literature. Several major compounds considered as key odorants in other mate tea products were not detected or only present at low levels in the samples of this research. Approximately half of the odorants identified in these samples were commonly reported in different mate tea types; the remaining 41 molecules—predominantly terpenoids (isoprenoids)—could be listed as specific to the Brazilian chimarrão type and are suggested to underlie its typical freshness.

Abstract
Pydiflumetofen is a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide, and the method for determination of its residues in rice and associated environmental samples has not yet been reported. Here, we optimized, Quick Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe (QuEChERS) method for sample preparation, and used high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to detect the residual amounts of pydiflumetofen in rice and its environment. The results showed that there was a good linearity over the pydiflumetofen concentration range of 0.01-0.1 mg/L in all matrices (R2 > 0.99). At the spiked levels of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg, the recovery rates of pydiflumetofen from various matrices were between 84.23 and 105.10 %, with the relative standard deviation of 1.07-9.99 %. The limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of the proposed method for pydiflumetofen was in the range of 1.9-3.5 µg/kg, and the limit of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio = 10) was in the range of 6.3-11.7 µg/kg.

Abstract
Aroma plays an important role in the quality of Pu-erh tea. However, the quality evaluation of Pu-erh tea aroma is heavily relied on the experience of sensory evaluation, and the theoretical research is relatively scarce. In the present work, the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea were characterized by using gas phase electronic nose (e-nose) and microchamber/thermal extractor (µ-CTE) combined with thermal desorption coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). A satisfactory discrimination model (R2 Y = 0.95, Q2 = 0.807) was obtained by using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) based on the odor fingerprint of different brands of Pu-erh tea. In addition, based on the double criterion of multivariate analysis with VIP >1.0 and univariate analysis with p ≤ 0.001, 39 volatile components were identified to contribute greatly to the discrimination of five brands of Pu-erh tea. The results suggested that gas phase e-nose and µ-CTE combined with TD-GC/MS were simple, rapid techniques to characterize the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea and were allowed to effectively distinguish different brands of Pu-erh tea, which would provide an important reference on the quality assessment of Pu-erh tea. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This work demonstrates that the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea are simply and rapidly characterized by using µ-CTE/TD-GC/MS and gas phase e-nose, allowing to effectively distinguish different brands of Pu-erh tea, which can provide an important reference for the quality assessment and authentication of Pu-erh tea.

Abstract
Autumn green tea (AT) has poor taste quality for its strong astringency. This study aims to improve the taste quality as well as the aroma of AT by Eurotium cristatum (MF800948) fermentation and to produce a fermented autumn green tea (FT). Results showed that the aroma quality of AT was improved, and the content of terpene alcohols that impart characteristic flowery aroma to FT significantly increased. The umami intensity of FT was comparable to that of AT while the astringency tasted much weaker mainly due to the oxidation of the catechins. The results also confirmed that theabrownins exhibited strong umami taste, not astringent taste. Finally, a metabolic map was analyzed to show the effect of E. cristatum (MF800948) on the quality of AT, and to visualize the changes of differential compounds in AT and FT. The work provides insights into the quality improvement of autumn green tea.

Abstract
Each type of tea has a unique volatile profile due to its variety, processing technologies and origin. Using HS-SPME and GC/MS, we analyzed the changes of volatile components in cultivar Yinghong No. 9 during pile-fermentation every 10 days. A total of 94 compounds showed significant differences during a total of 60 days mainly including alkanes, ketones, esters, terpenes, aromatics and heterocyclic compounds. Interestingly, 13 metabolites were progressively reduced during the first 20 days and remained unchanged in subsequent procedures, while 17 metabolites remained unchanged in the early stage and progressively increased during the last 20 days of pile fermentation, indicating that they are characteristic volatile compounds of raw material sun-dried green tea and dark tea, respectively. β-ionone, phenylethyl alcohol, and a-ionone could be the top three contributed aroma compounds in the final dark tea. Our study provides a theoretical basis for process and quality improvement of Yinghong No. 9.

Abstract
Pu-erh tea is believed to be a beneficial beverage for health due to its many kinds of pharmacological effects. Nevertheless, detailed information related to differences in metabolites of Pu-erh raw tea from different geographical origins remains scarce. In this study, 43 elements were found in water-soluble components of Pu-erh raw tea by highly sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (U-HPLC/Q-TOF-MS). The characteristic groups of 29 metabolites from nondestructive proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1 H-NMR) spectroscopy were assigned. The variables contributed largely to the origin classification, mainly including valine, threonine, chlorogenic acid, quinic acid, epiafzelechin, and gallic acid ester, were screened out by sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis (sPLS-DA) method. This study provided a feasible and rapid technique for distinguishing Pu-erh tea from different areas by 1 H-NMR combined with sPLS-DA.

Abstract
The aroma profile of raw pu'er tea (RPT) depends on its storage duration (2-10 years) and storage conditions (wet-hot or dry-cold environment). We analyzed the major odorants of RPT samples by performing metabolomic analysis and by using the molecular sensory science approach. Under dry-cold storage conditions, tea leaves had more carotenoid derivatives, glycoside-derived volatiles, and phenolic volatiles, resulting in "fresh," "floral," and "sweet" aroma. Under wet-hot storage conditions, tea leaves had more methoxybenzenes, which contributed considerably to their "stale" and "woody" aroma. We identified 11 and 4 compounds as the odor markers of RPTs when stored in dry-cold and wet-hot environments, respectively. Our findings provide a scientific basis for optimal storage that yields the desired aroma profile.

Influence of Eurotium cristatum and Aspergillus niger individual and collaborative inoculation on volatile profile in liquid-state fermentation of instant dark teas. Food Chem 2021; 350:129234. [PMID: 33588283 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2021.129234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2020] [Revised: 12/29/2020] [Accepted: 01/26/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
The three instant dark teas were produced from instant green tea (IGT) by liquid-state fermentations using the microorganisms Eurotium cristatum (EFT), Aspergillus niger (AFT), and sequential inoculation of E. cristatum/A. niger (EAFT), respectively. The volatile compounds of four tea samples were extracted by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) and analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) coupled with chemometrics. A total of 97 volatile compounds were tentatively identified to distinguish three fermented instant dark from IGT. Alcohols, acids, esters, ketones, aldehydes, and heterocyclics could be clearly distinguished by principal component analysis (PCA), venn diagram, heatmap analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA). Descriptive sensory analysis revealed that AFT had a moldy, woody and herbal aroma; EFT showed woody and herbal aroma; and EAFT smelled an herbal, sweet, minty and floral aroma. This study indicates that fermentation using different microorganisms is critical in forming unique aroma characteristics of instant dark teas.

Abstract
β-Ionone is a carotenoid-derived flavor and fragrance compound with a complex fruity and woody scent, known for its violet aroma. Due to the low odor threshold, β-ionone dramatically affects the aroma and quality of tea. Previous studies have shown that β-ionone increases during tea withering; however, its formation and regulation during the withering process are far from being understood. As dehydration is the most important stress during the withering of the tea leaves, we isolated a dehydration-induced gene belonging to the subfamily of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases called carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1a (CsCCD1a) from Camellia sinensis and expressed it in Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein could generate volatile β-ionone and pseudoionone from carotenoids. CsCCD1a was induced by dehydration stress, and its expression was related to the β-ionone accumulation during tea withering. Overall, this study elucidated that CsCCD1a catalyzes the formation of β-ionone in C. sinensis and enhanced the understanding of the β-ionone formation under multiple stresses during the processing of tea.

Xiao Y, Zhong K, Bai JR, Wu YP, Gao H. Insight into effects of isolated Eurotium cristatum from Pingwu Fuzhuan brick tea on the fermentation process and quality characteristics of Fuzhuan brick tea. JOURNAL OF THE SCIENCE OF FOOD AND AGRICULTURE 2020; 100:3598-3607. [PMID: 32100298 DOI: 10.1002/jsfa.10353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2019] [Revised: 02/20/2020] [Accepted: 02/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pingwu Fuzhuan brick tea is a type of post-fermented tea manufactured from leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis var. sinensis, the quality of which is influenced by numerous factors, especially microorganisms. Currently, there is little research on the effect of microorganisms on the fermentation and quality characteristics of Pingwu Fuzhuan brick tea. Investigation of the main fungus in this tea and its effect on the fermentation process and tea quality can provide insights into the manufacturing of 'western road' border-selling tea and could lay the foundation for the popularization of Pingwu Fuzhuan brick tea. RESULTS The main 'golden flower fungus' in Pingwu Fuzhuan brick tea was isolated and identified as Eurotium cristatum (GenBank accession number: MF800948.1; strain PW-1). Compared with natural fermentation, PW-1 inoculated fermentation accelerated biotransformation of phenolic compounds, which provided tea samples with better taste and tea infusion color. The proportions of velvety and sweet-tasting amino acids increased after 16-day fermentation with PW-1. Alcohols were the most abundant volatiles, with 40.13% and 39.43% content in NF16d and IF16d tea samples, respectively. Orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and hierarchical clustering analysis (HCA) further revealed that naturally fermented and PW-1 fermented teas were significantly different. CONCLUSION Strain PW-1 plays an important role in the fermentation process of Fuzhuan brick tea. Considering fermentation efficiency and tea quality, fermentation inoculated with E. cristatum PW-1 can be applied in the manufacturing of 'western road' border-selling tea. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Monitoring the authenticity of pu'er tea via chemometric analysis of multielements and stable isotopes. Food Res Int 2020; 136:109483. [PMID: 32846565 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2020.109483] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 06/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Mineral elements and stable isotopes combined with stoichiometric methods were used as a potential tool for first authenticating Chinese tea according to it's production year. A total of 86 mineral elements and stable isotope compositions were determined from the Xiangzhujing Pu'er tea in five different production years using ICP-MS and ICP-OES. On the basis of 78 statistically significant mineral elements and stable isotopes, HCA, PCA, PLS-DA, BP-ANN, and LDA were employed to build authentication models for predicting the Pu'er tea with different production years. The clustering results of the HCA and PCA were worse than that of PLS-DA, BP-ANN, and LDA. The PLS-DA model displayed a perfect model performance (R2X = 0.86, R2Y = 0.974, and Q2 = 0.922). The authentication performance of LDA and BP-ANN revealed their 100% recognition sensitivity and prediction ability and was thus better than that of PLS-DA. Mn, 68Zn, and 203Tl were the markers for enabling the successful authentication of Pu'er tea with different production years. This study contributes toward generalizing the use of mineral element and stable isotope fingerprinting combined with LDA and BP-ANN as a promising tool for authentication of tea worldwide.
