Abstract: | "Non-volatile metabolites significantly influence the color, taste, and aromatic qualities of green tea. However, the evolutionary trajectories of non-volatile metabolites, and their transformational relationship with volatile metabolites during processing, remain unclear. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze a widely targeted metabolome during green tea processing. In total, 527 non-volatile metabolites, covering 11 subclasses, were identified, along with 184 volatile metabolites, covering 8 subclasses. Significant variations in metabolites were observed during processing, especially in the fixation stage, and the conversion intensity of non-volatile metabolites was consistent with the law of 'Fixation > Drying > Rolling.' A total of 153 non-volatile metabolites were screened out, and amino acids and esters were found to be closely associated with volatile metabolite formation. The results of the present study provide a theoretical basis that could guide green tea processing based on desired quality and components" |
