The present study aims to improve the sweet aftertaste and overall acceptability of green tea infusion by hydrolyzing (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and (-)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) with tannase. The results showed that the intensity of the sweet aftertaste and the score of overall acceptability of the green tea infusion significantly increased with the extension of the hydrolyzing treatment. (-)-Epigallocatechin (EGC) and (-)-epicatechin (EC) were found to be the main contributors for the sweet aftertaste, based on a trial compatibility with EGCG, ECG, EGC, and EC monomers, and a synergistic action between EGC and EC to sweet aftertaste was observed. A 2.5:1 (EGC/EC) ratio with a total concentration of 3.5 mmol/L gave the most satisfying sweet aftertaste, and the astringency significantly inhibited the development of the sweet aftertaste. These results can help us to produce a tea beverage with excellent sweet aftertaste by hydrolyzing the green tea infusion with tannase.

Ya'an Tibetan tea, a dark tea with a rich historical heritage, is typically processed using two primary piling fermentation methods: wet piling with rolled leaves (moisture content around 60%) and dry piling with sun-dried or baked green tea leaves (moisture content below 30%). This study employed sensory evaluation, targeted and non-targeted metabolomics, and fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing to investigate changes in quality components and fungal composition in Tibetan tea processed by both wet and dry-piling methods. The results revealed that 3,7-Dimethyl-1,5,7-octatriene-3-ol and D-limonene were identified as key volatile metabolites contributing to the aroma variations between the dry and wet-piled teas.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined how different plant-based oils in cookie recipes affect sensory attributes and consumers' willingness to buy them.
- 112 consumers evaluated six cookie samples made with various vegetable oils and butter, using a range of sensory terms to describe their experiences.
- Results showed that cookies made with coconut oil and butter received the highest consumer acceptance, suggesting that coconut oil can effectively replace butter in vegan baking.

This study conducted a comprehensive analysis of the differences in the taste characteristics of hawk black tea and hawk white tea, exploring the intrinsic relationship between nonvolatile metabolites and these taste characteristics. The results revealed significant differences in taste properties of the two types of hawk tea. Hawk black tea mainly exhibits a fresh, sweet, and sweet aftertaste quality, whereas hawk white tea offers a mellow and pure taste.

Intelligently processed black teas (BT) possess premium quality but there is a lack in comprehensive understanding of flavor formation mechanism. In this study, the accumulation of carotenoids, flavonoids, and Maillard products and (non)enzymatic degradations and conjugations to characterized flavors were comprehensively studied. Significant decrease was observed that flava-3-ols were heavily oxidised from > 240 mg·g in fresh leaves (FL) to < 30 mg·g, while other 21 flavonoids decreased by < 30% in BT, accompanied by a sweet aftertaste.

This study investigated the physicochemical properties influencing the sensory characteristics of long-term aged ganjang. Eight ganjang samples aged 3, 10, and 15 years were obtained from three different manufacturers and analyzed for physicochemical characteristics, sensory profiles, and consumer acceptability. The proximate composition (moisture, ash, protein, and crude fat), total solids, salinity, acidity, pH, color (L, a, b, chrome, and hue), 27 free amino acids (FAAs), and volatile compounds were analyzed.
