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.

Most reported sensor arrays for teas were based on the sensing of phenolic hydroxyl group on tea polyphenols. In this work, a novel sensor array was developed based on the simultaneous sensing of phenols and ketones, for the enhanced discrimination of tea polyphenols with/without ketone, and then for the efficient discrimination of raw Pu-erh teas from different origins and the counterfeit, combined with machine learning. This sensor array is consisting of four channels.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the aroma of Pu-erh tea by analyzing volatile compounds from five regions in Yunnan using advanced techniques like gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME).
  • - A total of 69 aroma-active compounds were identified, with alcohols, ketones, and aldehydes being the most common, and significant differences in terpenoid enantiomers were noted.
  • - Important compounds were highlighted through statistical analysis, and a KEGG pathway analysis pointed to key metabolic pathways related to aroma compounds, indicating their roles in the tea's flavor profile.

To expand the development of characteristic extension products of Yunnan tea and improve the utilization rate of Yunnan tea resources, in this study, we compared the metabolite composition among raw Pu-erh tea, ripe Pu-erh tea prepared with glutinous rice (according to tea to glutinous rice ratio of 1:3), and ripe Pu-erh tea prepared with a mixture of sorghum, rice, glutinous rice, wheat, and corn as raw materials (according to a tea to glutinous rice ratio of 1:3). Rice flavor liquor prepared with 100% glutinous rice served as a control. The raw Pu-erh tea liquor (RAWJ), ripe Pu-erh tea liquor (RIPEJ), ripe Pu-erh tea mixed grain liquor (HHLSJ), and rice-flavor liquor (MJ) were all brewed by semi-solid fermentation.

Pu-erh tea belongs to the six tea categories of black tea, according to the processing technology and quality characteristics, is divided into two types of raw tea and ripe tea. Raw tea is made from fresh leaves of tea as raw materials, through the process of greening, kneading, sun drying, steam molding and other processes made of tightly pressed tea. Ripe tea is made from Yunnan large-leafed sun green tea, using a specific process, post-fermentation (rapid post-fermentation or slow post-fermentation) processing of loose tea and tightly pressed tea.

Article Synopsis
  • * Key organic acids found in different tea types included quinic, citric, and malic acids in various teas, with ripe pu-erh tea showing high levels of oxalic and tartaric acids.
  • * A model was created to predict the sourness of tea based on the acids' composition, showing promising accuracy with a root-mean-square error of 0.58 and could help evaluate the quality of tea based on its chemical makeup.
