Description
Summary:To explore the dynamic changes in ‘Round leaf’ jasmine tea (RT) during the scenting process, targeted metabolomics and HS-SPME-GC–MS were used to identify the non-volatile and volatile compounds, and compare them with double-petal jasmine tea (DT). The analysis of taste activity values indicated that Asp, Thea, and Glu played significant roles in shaping the flavor profile of RT. The volatile compounds methyl anthranilate, benzyl acetate, linalool, indole, methyl benzoate and methyl salicylate were the key aroma compounds of jasmine tea. The volatiles (E)-3-hexenyl acetate, (E)-β-ocimene and benzeneacetaldehyde significantly contributed to the elegance and freshness of RT. Additionally, the aroma compounds in RT reached saturation during the fourth scenting process (S4). Notably, RT reached better quality in S4 while DT reached better quality in S5. It can provide a scientific basis for the optimization of RT quality and its application in production.
