Research on Taste and Aroma Characteristics of Dahongpao Tea with Different Grades

Blog Article

This study aimed to thoroughly investigate the quality differences and influencing factors of Dahongpao tea of different grades.Through sensory evaluation, electronic nose analysis, electronic tongue analysis, biochemical radio birdman tshirt component analysis, and HS-SPME-GC-MS, the taste and aroma characteristics of Dahongpao samples of different grades (superfine, first, and second grades) were comprehensively studied.The results showed that there were significant differences in sensory quality, aroma components, and taste components among Dahongpao of different grades.

Superfine Dahongpao has a rich aroma and mellow taste, containing a higher content of esters and aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzaldehyde (2-hydroxy-5-methoxy), hexyl benzoate, and cyclohexanecarboxylic acid 2,3-dichlorophenyl ester, which endow it with fruity, floral, and woody characteristics.In contrast, first- and second-grade Dahongpao contain more alkanes, pyrazines, and furans such as benzene (1-ethyl-1-propenyl), dodecane (2,6,10-trimethyl), and pyrazine (2,6-dimethyl), which impart floral, roasted, and nutty flavors.Moreover, superfine Dahongpao has a more bitter and astringent taste, but the bitterness and astringency dissipate more quickly, while the taste of first- and second-grade Dahongpao is click here relatively bland.

These differences provide a scientific basis for the grade classification of Dahongpao tea and offer references for improving tea quality and standardized production.
