Abstract: | "Roasting is essential for processing large-leaf yellow tea (LYT). However, the effect of the roasting on the metabolic and sensory profiles of LYT remains unknown. Herein, the metabolomics and sensory quality of LYT at five roasting degrees were evaluated by liquid/gas chromatography mass spectrometry and quantitative descriptive analysis. A higher degree of roasting resulted in a significantly stronger crispy rice, fried rice, and smoky-burnt aroma (p < 0.05), which is closely associated with heterocyclic compound accumulation (concentrations: 6.47 +/- 0.27 - 1065.00 +/- 5.58 microg/g). Amino acids, catechins, flavonoid glycosides and N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone-substituted flavan-3-ol varied with roasting degree. The enhancement of crispy-rice and burnt flavor coupled with the reduction of bitterness and astringency. Correlations analysis revealed the essential compounds responsible for roasting degree, including 2,3-diethyl-5-methylpyrazine, hexanal, isoleucine, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone-substituted flavan-3-ol (EPSF), and others. These findings provide a theoretical basis for improving the specific flavors of LYT" |
