Fenghuang Dancong tea (FHDC) is a renowned oolong tea in China due to its complex aroma characteristics. However, the aroma differences between FHDC teas with typical aroma profiles are still unknown. This study employed the sensomics approach to characterize the key odorants in three distinct FHDC samples with aroma types of Yashi, Huangzhi, and Milan, respectively. The aroma profile analysis showed the three samples evoked coconut milk-like, flowery/sweety, and fruity/sweety smelling, respectively. The quantitative analysis, odor activity values, and chemometrics showed that jasmine lactone, (Z)-jasmone, linalool, γ-hexalactone were key aroma markers to identify the three samples. Besides, the odor thresholds determination of the four aroma markers present that the addition of caffeine in water obviously lowered their respective odor thresholds, revealing the role of caffeine in strengthening the intensities of sweety, flowery and fruity notes tea infusion. This research not only offered a valuable insight into the identification of FHDC's aromatic complexity but also supported the precise aroma classification and optimization.

Background: White tea, an agriculturally distinctive product, exhibits significant aroma variations across different regions. Nevertheless, the mechanisms driving these differences, and distinguishing methods suitable for specific origins, have been scarcely reported. In this study, we analyzed the aroma characteristics and volatile components of 100 white tea samples from ten regions, utilizing sensory evaluation, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and chemometrics, then established a discrimination model.

The food industry is increasingly turning to healthy and eco-friendly alternatives for meat preservation, with recent attention focused on chitosan (CH) and essential oils (EOs). Here, we propose two liquid formulations of CH enriched with or EOs to preserve beef patties stored for 4 days at 4 °C from colour changes, secondary lipid oxidation, and alteration in volatile organic compound emissions while also preventing oviposition by on beef loaves hung for the same time at around 13 °C in a netted polytunnel. Overall, the EO-enriched CH solution increased the meat colour lightness compared to the control (+7.
