Abstract: | "There is a huge demand for brewing water in tea consumption, and the sensory flavor of tea infusion is significantly affected by the water used for brewing. To investigate the impact of brewing water on the aroma of tea infusions made from Camelia senensis, the three tea infusions of green, oolong and black tea brewed by six different drinking waters were analyzed by sensory evaluation, solid-phase microextraction, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and chemometrics. Brewing water with high pH values (>8.10) and high TDS content (>140 ppm) resulted in a lower overall aroma acceptability for tea infusion, where HCO(3)(-), Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) were key influencing ions. A total of 86, 106, and 131 volatiles were identified in green, oolong and black tea infusions, respectively, which were strongly influenced by six different brands of waters. Decanal, dimethyl sulfide, beta-ionone and linalool were potent volatiles in tea aroma changes caused by brewing water" |
