Abstract  

The taste quality of yellow tea and the contribution of taste-chemical compositions to yellow tea taste were explored by sensory evaluation, taste-compound detection, chemometrics analysis and dose-over-threshold factors (DoT), based on Zhejiang partial main cultivated cultivars and an improved process in north Zhejiang yellow tea production area. The results showed that the yellow tea, which was processed from Yingshuang, Baiyeyihao and Zhenong 113 tea cultivars and different yellowing process, presented varying degrees of sweet, mellow, umami, astringency and stewed taste. There were significant differences on the most of taste-chemical compositions among yellow teas from three tea cultivars, while there was a small difference among yellow teas from the same tea cultivar. The content analysis and partial least square discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) indicated that the taste quality of yellow tea was influenced remarkably by tea cultivars. The catechins like (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), (-)-gallocatechin-3-gallate (GCG), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), flavonol glycosides like myricetin-3-O-galactoside (Myr-gal), quercetin-3-O-glucoside (Que-glu), kaempferol-3-O-rutinoside (Kae-rut), amino acids like glutamic (Glu), theanine (Thea), arginine (Arg), aspartic acid (Asp), asparagine (Asn), et al., had great contribution to yellow tea taste characteristic under the experimental conditions. The further research of DoT value indicated that the specific taste of single compound in the aqueous solution would change in the complex tea liquor, which may be due to the interaction among different compounds.

基于浙江部分主栽品种的黄茶滋味特征及化学组分贡献研究

基于浙江主栽品种原料及浙北黄茶传统产区改良工艺,结合感官审评、化学组分检测、化学计量学分析及剂量比阈因子(dose-over-threshold factors, DoT)分析等研究黄茶滋味品质及化学组分的贡献作用。结果显示:迎霜、白叶一号、浙农113等3个品种原料经不同闷黄工艺加工而成的黄茶样品在滋味品质方面表现出不同程度的甘、醇、鲜、生涩及熟闷感。在滋味化学组分中多数组分含量在不同品种黄茶中表现出显著差异,在相同品种原料条件下样品间含量差异较小,同时,基于化学组分的偏最小二乘判别分析(partial least square discriminant analysis, PLS-DA)显示,品种原料对黄茶样品滋味品质的影响显著,在滋味组分中儿茶素类如表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(EGCG)、没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯(GCG)、表没食子儿茶素(EGC)等,黄酮醇苷组分如杨梅酮-3-O-半乳糖苷(Myr-gal)、槲皮素-3-O-葡萄糖苷(Que-glu)、山柰酚-3-O-芸香糖苷(Kae-rut),部分氨基酸组分如谷氨酸(Glu)、茶氨酸(Thea)、精氨酸(Arg)、天冬氨酸(Asp)、天冬酰胺(Asn)等在本实验条件下对黄茶滋味具有较大贡献作用;进一步对滋味组分的DoT值分析显示,在茶汤的复杂体系中,滋味化合物间的多种相互作用影响着单体化合物的味感表现。
