Abstract
To elucidate the formation of characteristic aroma over enzymatic-catalyzed processes (ECP), GC–MS-based volatile-metabolomic combined with desorption-electrospray-ionization coupled mass-spectrometry-imaging (DESI-MSI) were employed to analyze the changes of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in Tieguanyin tea. A total of 579 VOCs were obtained, from which 24 components involved in five pathways were identified as biomarkers. Among these, four VOCs including 2-furancarboxylic acid, 4-methylbenzaldehyde, N-benzylformamide, cuminaldehyde, were detected in both DESI-MSI and GC–MS analysis, exhibiting dynamic changes along processing steps. RNA-sequencing analysis indicated the genes referring to stress response were activated during tea processing, facilitating the accumulation of flora-fruity aroma in tea leaf. Metabolic pathways analysis revealed that the increase in floral-fruity related components such as volatile terpenoids, phenylpropanoids/benzenoids, indole, alongside a decrease in green leaf volatiles including (E)-2-Hexenal, (Z)-3-Hexenol, played a crucial role in development of characteristic aroma, which could be a feasible index for evaluating processing techniques or quality of oolong tea.
期刊介绍:
Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences is one of three companion journals to the highly respected Food Chemistry.
Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences is an open access journal publishing research advancing the theory and practice of molecular sciences of foods.
The types of articles considered are original research articles, analytical methods, comprehensive reviews and commentaries.
Topics include:
Molecular sciences relating to major and minor components of food (nutrients and bioactives) and their physiological, sensory, flavour, and microbiological aspects; data must be sufficient to demonstrate relevance to foods and as consumed by humans
Changes in molecular composition or structure in foods occurring or induced during growth, distribution and processing (industrial or domestic) or as a result of human metabolism
Quality, safety, authenticity and traceability of foods and packaging materials
Valorisation of food waste arising from processing and exploitation of by-products
Molecular sciences of additives, contaminants including agro-chemicals, together with their metabolism, food fate and benefit: risk to human health
Novel analytical and computational (bioinformatics) methods related to foods as consumed, nutrients and bioactives, sensory, metabolic fate, and origins of foods. Articles must be concerned with new or novel methods or novel uses and must be applied to real-world samples to demonstrate robustness. Those dealing with significant improvements to existing methods or foods and commodities from different regions, and re-use of existing data will be considered, provided authors can establish sufficient originality.
