Abstract
Golden-flower fungus (Eurotiwm Cristatum, EC) is widely inoculated in dark tea to endow a typical fungal floral aroma. Recently, Golden Flower White Tea (GFWT), prepared by transplanting EC-mediated fermentation to white tea (Shoumei, SM) to reform the roughness and coarseness, has attracted much attention attributed to coordinated flavor. However, the bio-chemistry reactions between EC and SM, along with origination of composited aroma are still unclear. Thus, the rejected EC, GFWT leaves and stems after EC removal were separated by layer-by-layer stripping following sensory evaluation, volatiles and microstructure analysis to uncover aroma formation mechanism. In GFWT, EC presents fungal flower aroma rather than contribution of extracellular enzymes secreted by fungus in Fu brick tea. Moreover, the short "flowering process" (7 days) endows SM with a stale, jujube, and sweet aroma, which is regarded as the typical characteristic of aged white tea. This inspires EC-mediated fermentation as a promising rapid aging process.

Abstract
Instant dark tea (IDT), prepared by liquid-state fermentation using Aspergillus niger, is known for its high theabrownins content and lipid-lowering effect. To explore the impact of fungal fermentation on IDT compositions and its pancreatic lipase inhibitory ability (PLIA), untargeted and targeted metabolomic analysis were applied to track the changes of metabolites over a 9-day fermentation period, and correlation analysis was then conducted between metabolites and PLIA of IDT. There were 54 differential metabolites exhibited significant changes from day 3 to day 5 of fermentation. The concentrations of theabrownins and caffeine increased during fermentation, while phenols and free amino acids decreased. The PLIA of IDT samples significantly increased from day 5 to day 9 of fermentation. Theabrownins not only positively correlated with the PLIA but also exhibited a high inhibition rate. These findings provide a theoretical basis to optimize the production of IDT as functional food ingredient.

Abstract
Processing technology plays a crucial role in the formation of tea aroma. The dynamic variations in volatile metabolites across different processing stages of fresh scent green tea (FSGT) were meticulously tracked utilizing advanced analytical techniques such as GC-E-Nose, GC-MS, and GC × GC-TOFMS. A total of 244 volatile metabolites were identified by GC-MS and GC × GC-TOFMS, among which 37 volatile compounds were concurrently detected by both methods. Spreading and fixation stages were deemed as pivotal processes for shaping the volatile profiles in FSGT. Notably, linalool, heptanal, 2-pentylfuran, nonanal, β-myrcene, hexanal, 2-heptanone, pentanal, 1-octen-3-ol, and 1-octanol were highlighted as primary contributors to the aroma profiles of FSGT by combining odor activity value assessment. Furthermore, lipid degradation and glycoside hydrolysis were the main pathways for aroma formation of FSGT. The results not only elucidate the intricate variations in volatile metabolites but also offer valuable insights into enhancing the processing techniques for improved aroma quality of green tea.

Abstract
Gabaron green tea (GAGT) has unique flavor and health benefits through the special anaerobic treatment. However, how this composite processing affects the aroma formation of GAGT and the regulatory mechanism was rarely reported. This study used nontargeted metabolomics and molecular sensory science to overlay screen differential metabolites and key aroma contributors. The potential regulatory mechanism of anaerobic treatment on the aroma formation of GAGT was investigated by transcriptomics and correlation analyses. Five volatiles: benzeneacetaldehyde, nonanal, geraniol, linalool, and linalool oxide III, were screened as target metabolites. Through the transcriptional-level differential genes screening and analysis, some CsERF transcription factors in the ethylene signaling pathway were proposed might participate the response to the anaerobic treatment. They might regulate the expression of related genes in the metabolic pathway of the target metabolites thus affecting the GAGT flavor. The findings of this study provide novel information on the flavor and its formation of GAGT.

Abstract
This study investigates the dynamic changes in the aroma profile of Tuo tea during long-term storage, a process not well understood yet critical to the formation of aged tea's unique characteristics. Aroma profiling of Tuo tea samples stored for 2 to 25 years was conducted using sensory evaluation and the HS-SPME/GC × GC-QTOFMS technique, revealing a progressive transition from fresh, fruity, and floral scents to more stale, woody, and herbal notes. Among 275 identified volatiles, 55 were correlated with storage duration (|r| > 0.8, p < 0.05), and 49 differential compounds (VIP > 1, FC > 1.2, FC < 0.833, p < 0.05) were identified across three storage stages (2-4, 5-10, and 13-25 years). Furthermore, theaspirane, eucalyptol, o-xylene, and 1-ethylidene-1H-indene were selected as potential markers of Tuo tea aging, incorporating the implementation of a Random Forest (RF) model. Additionally, our model exhibited high accuracy in predicting the age of Tuo tea within a prediction error range of -2.51 to 2.84 years. This research contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the impact of storage time on tea aroma and aids in the precise identification of tea age.

Abstract
Anaerobically fermented pickled tea (PT) can be produced by spontaneous fermentation (SF) or yeast-enhanced fermentation (YF). Aroma and taste characteristics of PT during YF and SF were investigated using sensory evaluation, odour activity, aroma character impact values, HS-SPME-GC-MS, UPLC-QQQ-MS/MS, and spectrophotometry, annotating 198 volatile and 115 non-volatile components. The main contributing volatile components were β-ionone, and 1-octanol, promoted by YF and SF, and yielding floral and fruity aromas respectively. Additionally, compared with SF, YF promoted the formation of citronellol yielding a floral aroma, inhibited the stale aroma of methoxybenzenes, and reduced bitter, astringent, and sour tastes. Furthermore, partial least-squares regression analysis identified the main components related to the 'acides aroma' of PT as linalool oxide, n-decanoic acid, hexanoic acid, 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienoic acid, 3-methyl-1-dodecyn-3-ol, and nerolidol. This application could be used as methodology for the comprehensive analysis of tea aroma and taste and these results can act as guidelines for PT production and quality control.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the key volatile compounds (VCs) that lead to the formation of characteristic flavors in ripe Pu-erh tea (RIPT) fermented by Monascus purpureus (M. purpureus). Headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), orthogonal partial least square-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were employed for a comprehensive analysis of the VCs present in RIPT fermented via different methods and were further identified by odor activity value (OAV). The VCs 1,2-dimethoxybenzene, 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene, (E)-linalool oxide (pyranoid), methyl salicylate, linalool, β-ionone, β-damascenone were the key characteristic VCs of RIPT fermented by M. purpureus. OAV and Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) further indicated that β-damascenone was the highest contribution VCs to the characteristic flavor of RIPT fermented by M. purpureus. This study reveals the specificities and contributions of VCs present in RIPT under different fermentation methods, thus providing new insights into the influence of microorganisms on RIPT flavor.

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
Solar withering is essential for the aroma formation of oolong tea, but due to the rainy and humid weather in plantation areas, solar withering became insufficient which seriously limits high-grade oolong tea production. This study aims to investigate ultraviolet B (UV-B) effects on the aroma characteristics of oolong tea and its feasibility in improving tea aroma quality. Sensory evaluation, odorant quantitation, and aroma characteristic analysis suggested UV-B application during the aeration process provided similar effects as solar withering in improving the aroma quality of oolong tea. UV-B application significantly increased fruity and floral odorants (4-hexanolide, α-farnesene, and β-ocimene by 44%, 74%, and 37%, respectively), and decreased green and fatty odorants (hexanal, (E)-2-octenal, and (Z)-4-heptenal by 42%, 45%, and 27%, respectively). These indicate UV-B is crucial for the flowery and fruity aroma formation of oolong tea, which can be potentially applied to oolong tea production, especially under unsunny weather.

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
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.

Abstract
Aroma is one of the significant quality factors of dark tea (DT). However, for a single large-leaf tea variety, there are few studies analyzing the effect of pile-fermentation on the aroma quality of DT. The GC × GC-QTOFMS, electronic nose (E-nose) and GC-olfactometry (GC-O) techniques were employed to analysis the difference of tea products before and after pile-fermentation. A total of 149 volatile metabolites (VMs) were identified, with 92 VMs exhibiting differential characteristics. Among these, 31 VMs with OAV > 1.0 were found to be correlated with E-nose results (|r| > 0.8). Additionally, GC-O analysis validated seven major differential metabolites. Notably, naphthalene, 2-methylnaphthalene, and dibenzofuran were found to enhance the woody aroma, while (Z)-4-heptenal, 2-nonenal and 1-hexanol were associated with an increase in mushroom, fatty and sweet odors, respectively. Moreover, 1-octen-3-ol was linked to reducing pungent fishy smell. These findings could provide a certain theoretical basis for understanding the influence of pile-fermentation on the aroma quality of dark tea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND White tea has become more and more popular with consumers due to its health benefits and unique flavor. However, the key aroma-active compounds of white tea during the aging process are still unclear. Thus, the key aroma-active compounds of white tea during the aging process were investigated using gas chromatography-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (GC-TOF-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) combined with sensory-directed flavor analysis. RESULTS A total of 127 volatile compounds were identified from white tea samples with different aging years by GC-TOF-MS. Fifty-eight aroma-active compounds were then determined by GC-O, and 19 of them were further selected as the key aroma-active compounds based on modified frequency (MF) and odor activity value (OAV). CONCLUSION Aroma recombination and omission testing confirmed that 1-octen-3-ol, linalool, phenethyl alcohol, geraniol, (E)-β-ionone, α-ionone, hexanal, phenylacetaldehyde, nonanal, (E, Z)-(2,6)-nonadienal, safranal, γ-nonalactone and 2-amylfuran were the common key aroma-active compounds to all samples. Cedrol, linalool oxide II and methyl salicylate were confirmed peculiar in new white tea, while β-damascenone and jasmone were peculiar in aged white tea. This work will offer support for further studies on the material basis of flavor formation of white tea. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

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
To characterize the key odorants of floral aroma green tea (FAGT) and reveal its dynamic evolution during processing, the volatile metabolites in FAGT during the whole processing were analyzed by integrated volatolomics techniques, relative odor activity value (rOAV), aroma recombination, and multivariate statistical analysis. The volatile profiles undergone significant changes during processing, especially in the withering and fixation stages. A total of 184 volatile compounds were identified (∼53.26% by GC-MS). Among them, 7 volatiles with rOAV > 1 were identified as characteristic odorants of FAGT, and most of these compounds reached the highest in withering stage. According to the formation pathways, these key odorants could be divided into four categories: fatty acid-derived volatiles, glycoside-derived volatiles, amino acid-derived volatiles, and carotenoid-derived volatiles. Our study provides a comprehensive strategy to elucidate changes in volatile profiles during processing and lays a theoretical foundation for the targeted processing of high-quality green 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
Faba beans as an alternative source of protein have received significant attention from consumers and the food industry. Flavor represents a major driving force that hinders the utilization faba beans in various products due to off-flavor. Off-flavors are produced from degradation of amino acids and unsaturated fatty acids during seed development and post-harvest processing stages (storage, dehulling, thermal treatment, and protein extraction). In this review, we discuss the current state of knowledge on the aroma of faba bean ingredients and various aspects, such as cultivar, processing, and product formulation that influence flavour. Germination, fermentation, and pH modulation were identified as promising methods to improve overall flavor and bitter compounds. The probable pathway in controlling off-flavor evolution during processing has also been discussed to provide efficient strategies to limit their impact and to encourage the use of faba bean ingredients in healthy food design.

Abstract
Abundant secondary metabolites endow tea with unique quality characteristics, among which aroma is the core component of tea quality. The ratio of chiral isomers of aroma compounds greatly affects the flavor of tea leaves. In this paper, we review the progress of research on chiral aroma compounds in tea. With the well-established GC-MS methods, the formation of, and changes in, the chiral configuration of tea aroma compounds during the whole cycle of tea leaves from the plant to the tea cup has been studied in detail. The ratio of aroma chiral isomers varies among different tea varieties and finished teas. Enzymatic reactions involving tea aroma synthases and glycoside hydrolases participate the formation of aroma compound chiral isomers during tea tree growth and tea processing. Non-enzymatic reactions including environmental factors such as high temperature and microbial fermentation involve in the change of aroma compound chiral isomers during tea processing and storage. In the future, it will be interesting to determine how changes in the proportions of chiral isomers of aroma compounds affect the environmental adaptability of tea trees; and to determine how to improve tea flavor by modifying processing methods or targeting specific genes to alter the ratio of chiral isomers of aroma compounds.

Abstract
Tea polyphenol (TPs) oxidation caused by polyphenol oxidase (PPO) in manufacturing is responsible for the sensory characteristics and health function of fermented tea, therefore, this subject is rich in scientific and commercial interests. In this work, an in vitro catalysis of TPs in liquid nitrogen grinding of sun-dried green tea leaves by PPO was developed, and the changes in metabolites were analyzed by metabolomics. A total of 441 metabolites were identified in the catalyzed tea powder and control check samples, which were classified into 11 classes, including flavonoids (125 metabolites), phenolic acids (67 metabolites), and lipids (55 metabolites). The relative levels of 28 metabolites after catalysis were decreased significantly (variable importance in projection (VIP) > 1.0, p < 0.05, and fold change (FC) < 0.5)), while the relative levels of 45 metabolites, including theaflavin, theaflavin-3'-gallate, theaflavin-3-gallate, and theaflavin 3,3'-digallate were increased significantly (VIP > 1.0, p < 0.05, and FC > 2). The increase in theaflavins was associated with the polymerization of catechins catalyzed by PPO. This work provided an in vitro method for the study of the catalysis of enzymes in tea leaves.

Abstract
Large-leaf yellow tea (LYT) is a yellow tea product with a specific aroma characteristic and is enjoyed with increasing enthusiasm in China. However, its key odorants are still unknown. In this study, 46 odorants in the headspace and vacuum-distillate of the tea infusion were identified via aroma extract dilution analysis. Sixteen compounds were newly found in LYT infusion. They were present in the highest flavor dilution factors together with 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine. All odorants were quantitated to evaluate their own odor activity values (OAVs). High OAVs were found for 2-methylbutanal (malty, 210), (E,E)-2,4-heptandienal (fatty/flowery, 170), 2-methylpropanal (malty, 120) and 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine (earthy/roasty, 110). An aroma recombinate consisting of 17 odorants (all OAVs ≥ 1) in an odorless nonvolatile LYT matrix mimicked the overall aroma of the original infusion, verifying the successful characterization of key aroma components in a LYT beverage. The knowledge of key odorants obtained showed potential for simplifying industrial flavor optimization of the LYT product.

Abstract
Ambelania duckei Markgr is a species of the Apocynaceae family, native to the Amazon region that is unexplored from a nutritional point of view and studied in relation to its chemical constituents. This work presents an unprecedented study of the proximate composition, lipid profile, a chromatographic analysis, and the antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from the pulp, peel and seeds of the fruit. The results showed that potassium, calcium, and magnesium stood out as the most abundant key minerals in the fruit peel and pulp, with an emphasis on the potassium present in the fruit pulp at 1750.0 mg/100 g. The peel had the highest content of total phenolics (374.86 mg/g), flavonoids (15.54 mg/g), tannins (27.45 mg/g) and O-diphenols (379.36 mg/g; 645.71 mg/g). The antioxidant activity (AA) was highest in the peel compared to the pulp in the DPPH, ABTS, and ORAC tests showing: IC50 of 29.82; 43.67; and 407.13 µg/mL, respectively but a lower activity for the Fe2+ chelator. The analysis of the lipid fractions from the peel, pulp, and seeds of the A. duckei fruit resulted in 14 types of fatty acids. The major fatty acids found in the three parts of the fruit were oleic acid (peel, 22.52 %), palmitic acid (pulp, 17.34 %), and linoleic acid (seeds, 47.99 %). The lipid profile and nutritional aspects had a PUFA/SFA ratio (0.4-1.8) in the different parts of the A. duckei fruit; the atherogenic and thrombogenic indexes were higher in the peel (1.23) and pulp (0.62), respectively. The ratio between the hypocholesterolemic and hypercholesterolemic fatty acids (0.5 - 3.8) calculated for the fruit are within the desirable range for a nutritious food. The chromatographic analysis of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the peel and pulp of the fruit, identified 74 VOCs, of which 60.9 % are related to terpenes, and emit notes such as cucumber, green, fatty, floral, and mint, due to the presence of substances with OAVs > 10, especially α-ionone, 1,8-cineole, 2,4-decadienal, and dodecanal. The analysis of the MS and MS/MS spectra of the chromatograms obtained by LC- QTOF-HRMS led to the identification of 26 compounds in the peel, seeds and pulp of A. duckei, such as fatty acids, phenolic acid, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, alkaloids, and terpenoids. The results show that the pulp of A. duckei has potential as nourishing food and the nutritional and chemical aspects of the peel can be applied to commercial applications.

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
The odor-active compounds in Fu-brick tea and their release behaviors during boiling-water were studied. Fifty-one odor-active compounds were identified, and their release behaviors were identified by continuously recovering 16 sections of condensed water combined with sensory, instrumental, and nonlinear curve fitting analysis. The odor intensities of condensed water and the concentrations of odor-active compounds could be significantly fitted (p < 0.01) to power-function type curves. Hydrocarbons showed the fastest release rate, while organic acids showed the slowest. The release rates had very little correlation with their concentrations, molecular weights, and boiling points. Most odor-active compounds (≥70 %) released need to evaporate more than 24 % of the added water during boiling-water extraction. Meanwhile, on the basis of odor activity value (OAV) calculation, the aroma recombination experiments were performed to explore the odor-active compounds that made major contributions to the formation of the aroma profile of each condensed water.

Abstract
Lingtou Dancong oolong tea is a famous Chinese oolong tea due to its special honey-like aroma. However, little is known about its specific aroma profile and key contributors. Furthermore, whether the aroma characteristics of Lingtou Dancong oolong tea are affected by the environmental conditions at different altitudes is unknown. In this study, the aromas in Lingtou Dancong oolong tea were extracted and analyzed by stir-bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the aroma profiles of tea plants grown at different altitudes were compared. We detected 59 odor compounds in Lingtou Dancong oolong tea. Eight compounds with honey and floral odors were identified as key components on the basis of GC-O, GC-MS, odor activity value, and flavor dilution analyses. Differences in the contents of precursor geranyl diphosphate and transcript levels of structural genes were found to be responsible for the differential accumulation of linalool and hotrienol among plants grown at different altitudes. This is the first report on the aroma characteristics and key contributors of Lingtou Dancong oolong tea and their differences, as affected by altitude. These results provide details of the chemical basis of the aroma quality of Lingtou Dancong oolong tea.

Abstract
Steeping process is an important factor for aroma release of tea, which has rarely been investigated for the aroma changes of raw Pu-erh tea (RAPT). In addition, the comprehensive aroma characteristics identification of RAPT infusion is necessary. In this study, GC-IMS coupled with principal component analysis (PCA) was used to clarify the difference of volatile profiles during the steeping process of RAPT. Furthermore, the volatiles contained in the RAPT infusion were extracted by three pretreatment methods (HS-SPME, SBSE, and SAFE) and identified using GC-O-MS. According to the odor activity value, 28 of 66 compounds were categorized as aroma-active compounds. Aroma recombination and omission experiments showed that "fatty", "green", "fruity", and "floral" are considered to be the main aroma attributes of RAPT infusion with a strong relationship with 1-octen-3-one, 1-octen-3-ol, (E)-2-octenal, β-ionone, linalool, etc. This study will contribute a better understanding of the mechanism of the RAPT steeping process and volatile generation.

Abstract
The supercritical CO2-based decaffeination (SCD) method can be used to prepare decaffeinated tea, but its overall effect on the phytochemicals, volatiles, and sensory qualities of green and black teas is still unclear, and its suitability to prepare decaffeinated green and black teas still needs to be compared. This study revealed the effect of SCD on phytochemicals, volatiles, and sensory qualities in black and green tea prepared from the same tea leaves, and compared the suitability of preparing decaffeinated green and black teas using SCD. The results showed that the SCD could remove 98.2 and 97.1% of the caffeine in green and black tea, respectively. However, it can cause further losses of phytochemicals in green and black teas, specifically the loss of epigallocatechin gallate, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and gallocatechin gallate in green tea and the loss of theanine and arginine in green and black teas. After the decaffeination, both green and black teas lost some volatiles but also generated new volatiles. Especially, the fruit/flower-like aroma, ocimene, linalyl acetate, geranyl acetate, and D-limonene, were generated in the decaffeinated black tea, while herbal/green-like aroma, β-cyclocitral, 2-ethylhexanol, and safranal, were generated in the decaffeinated green tea. The overall acceptance of decaffeinated green tea decreased due to the substantial reduction in bitterness and astringency, while the overall acceptance of decaffeinated black tea significantly increased. Therefore, SCD is more suitable for the preparation of decaffeinated black tea.

Abstract
Xinyang Maojian (XYMJ) is one of the premium green teas and originates from Xinyang, which is the northernmost green tea production area in China. The special geographic location, environmental conditions, and manufacturing process contribute to the unique flavor and rich nutrition of XYMJ green tea. Aroma is an important quality indicator in XYMJ green tea. In order to illustrate the aroma of XYMJ green tea, the key odorants in XYMJ green tea and their dynamic changes during the manufacturing processes were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 73 volatile compounds of six different chemical classes were identified in the processed XYMJ green tea samples, and the manufacturing processes resulted in the losses of total volatile compounds. Among the identified volatile compounds, twenty-four aroma-active compounds, such as trans-nerolidol, geranylacetone, nonanal, (+)-δ-cadinene, linalool, (Z)-jasmone, cis-3-hexenyl butyrate, cis-3-hexenyl hexanoate, methyl jasmonate, and β-ocimene, were identified as the key odorants of XYMJ green tea based on odor activity value (OAV). The key odorants are mainly volatile terpenes (VTs) and fatty acid-derived volatiles (FADVs). Except for (+)-δ-cadinene, copaene, cis-β-farnesene, (Z,E)-α-farnesene and phytol acetate, the key odorants significantly decreased after fixing. The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) analyses suggested that fixing was the most important manufacturing process for the aroma formation of XYMJ green tea. These findings of this study provide meaningful information for the manufacturing and quality control of XYMJ green tea.

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
Laoxianghuang, fermented from Citrus medica L. var. Sarcodactylis Swingle of the Rutaceae family, is a medicinal food. The volatiles of Laoxianghuang fermented in different years were obtained by solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (SPME-GC–MS). Meanwhile, the evolution of its component-flavor function during the fermentation process was explored in depth by combining chemometrics and performance analyses. To extract the volatile compounds from Laoxianghuang, the fiber coating, extraction time, and desorption temperature were optimized in terms of the number and area of peaks. A polydimethylsiloxane/divinylbenzene (PDMS/DVB) with a thickness of 65 μm fiber, extraction time of 30 min, and desorption temperature of 200 °C were shown to be the optimal conditions. There were 42, 44, 52, 53, 53, and 52 volatiles identified in the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 15th, and 20th years of fermentation of Laoxianghuang, respectively. The relative contents were 97.87%, 98.50%, 98.77%, 98.85%, 99.08%, and 98.36%, respectively. Terpenes (mainly limonene, γ-terpinene and cymene) displayed the highest relative content and were positively correlated with the year of fermentation, followed by alcohols (mainly α-terpineol, β-terpinenol, and γ-terpineol), ketones (mainly cyclohexanone, D(+)-carvone and β-ionone), aldehydes (2-furaldehyde, 5-methylfurfural, and 1-nonanal), phenols (thymol, chlorothymol, and eugenol), esters (bornyl formate, citronellyl acetate, and neryl acetate), and ethers (n-octyl ether and anethole). Principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) showed a closer relationship between the composition of Laoxianghuang with similar fermentation years of the same gradient (3rd-5th, 8th-10th, and 15th-20th). Partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) VIP scores and PCA-biplot showed that α-terpineol, γ-terpinene, cymene, and limonene were the differential candidate biomarkers. Flavor analysis revealed that Laoxianghuang exhibited wood odor from the 3rd to the 10th year of fermentation, while herb odor appeared in the 15th and the 20th year. This study analyzed the changing pattern of the flavor and function of Laoxianghuang through the evolution of the composition, which provided a theoretical basis for further research on subsequent fermentation.

Abstract
Carao (Cassia grandis) is an America native plant characterized by its high iron content. This particular property allows its use as a natural additive to fix the black colour in California-style black olives, while masking its unpleasant aroma by stuffing olives with flavoured hydrocolloid. The tasting panel evaluated olives filled with unflavoured hydrocolloid with a fruity aroma, classified them as an extra category. Olives with the Carao addition presented a positive aroma, but also showed negative sensory attributes such as cheese, fermented and metallic flavours/aromas. The aroma of lyophilized Carao was better than the fresh one. The ‘Mojo picón’ aroma masked defective olives, allowing their classification from the second to the first commercial category. The volatile compounds belonged to the following families: terpenes, hydrocarbons, and oxygenated compounds, while the minor ones were alcohols and acid derivatives. The main volatile compounds identified were dialyl disulphide and 3-methyl-butanoic acid; among the minor ones were 2,4-dimethyl-hexane and dimethyl-silanediol and nonanal. Addition of fresh Carao increased the unpleasant aroma provoked by 3-methyl-butanoic acid, 2-methyl-butanoic acid and (E)-2-Decenal. Finally, an electronic device was able to discriminate these aromas and the results obtained agreed with those of the tasting panel and the volatile compounds.

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
Linalool, which is one of the most representative aroma substances in tea, is transformed into other aroma-related compounds, including linalool 3,6-oxides and linalool 3,7-oxides. The objective of this study was to elucidate the linalool oxide synthesis pathway and its response to stress in tea. By feeding experiment, chemical synthesis, and compound analysis, it was found that linalool can be transformed to linalool oxides via 6,7-epoxylinalool. The conversion rate from 6,7-epoxylinalool to linalool oxides was relatively high under acidic conditions. Four linalool oxide glucosides obtained from tea were structurally characterized. Additionally, tea green leafhopper infestation was observed to activate the whole metabolic flow from linalool into linalool oxides and their glucosides (p < 0.01). Moreover, light treatments further increased the accumulation of linalool oxides and their glucosides (p < 0.05). These results will be useful for elucidating the mechanism mediating linalool oxides content changes in response to stress in tea.

Abstract
Salting-out re-distillation was used to recover Pu-erh tea odor-active compounds. Various recovery parameters were optimized to achieve an optimal process. Effective recovery and concentration odor-active compounds via the developed method.. The instant Pu-erh tea prepared with the developed method had good flavor quality.
The objective of this study was to develop an effective recovery technology of odor-active compounds (OACs) to improve the flavor quality of instant Pu-erh tea (IPT) based on their released behaviors. Salting-out re-distillation (SRD) combined with sensory-directed analysis was developed. The contributing factors, including the soaking time of tea, recovery volume of condensed water of first distillation, amount of sodium chloride, recovery volume of condensed water of SRD, and re-use times of sodium chloride, were studied systematically. Under optimized conditions, 41 OACs were recovered in the first distillation, and the total recovery rate was 83.94%. Forty-one OACs were recovered via SRD, and the total recovery rate reached 72.29%, significantly better than membrane method (33.46%). The IPT prepared by adding OACs that recovered via SRD showed strong aroma attributes intensities and good coordination. This developed method can provide a more effective scheme to improve the flavor quality of IPT

Abstract
Summer green tea (SGT) has poor flavor due to its high levels of bitterness and astringency. The present study aimed to improve the flavor of SGT using the yellowing process. The results showed that after the yellowing process, the sweetness and overall acceptability increased, and the content of gallated catechins and flavonol glycosides decreased by 30.2% and 27.4%, respectively, as did the bitterness and astringency of SGT. Yellowing caused a decrease in the concentration of some aroma compounds, such as (z)-3-hexen-1-ol, 1-hexanol, pentanal, heptanal and 1-octanol, which caused grassy, floral and fruity aromas. In contrast, the concentrations of 1-octen-3-ol, benzene acetaldehyde and β-ionone increased, which have mushroom and sweet aromas. Meanwhile, the sweetness and umami of SGT were enhanced by the addition of selected aroma compounds (1-octen-3-ol, benzene acetaldehyde and β-ionone), demonstrating that the yellowing process improves the flavor of SGT through odor-taste interactions.

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
The aroma of Keemun black tea (KBT) changes during storage. We investigated key aroma volatiles of fresh KBT (FKBT) and KBT stored for 1 year. Through gas chromatography−olfactometry−mass spectrometry/aroma extract dilution analysis (GC-O-MS/AEDA), 27 aroma volatiles with a flavor dilution (FD) value ≥16 were quantitated. In odor activity value (OAV) analysis, the two samples had nearly the same key aroma volatiles; (Z)-methyl epijasmonate was the exception. Dimethyl sulfide, 3-methylbutanal, 2-methylpropanal, and linalool had especially high OAVs. Except for β-damascenone, volatiles with OAVs > 1 had higher concentrations in FKBT, which revealed that most key aroma compounds were lost during storage. Sweet, malty, floral, and green/grassy aromas corresponded directly to certain compounds. Lastly, the addition test indicated that the addition of several key aroma volatiles decreasing during storage could enhance the freshness of KBT aroma, which may be a potential to control the aroma style of KBT or other teas in industry.
