Abstract
This study used samples processed with an innovative manufacturing process to explore the dynamic changes of large-leaf yellow tea (LYT) in color, aroma, and taste substances, and the quality components were most significantly affected in the stages of first pile-yellowing (FP) and over-fired drying (TD). In this process, the moisture and temperature conditions caused chlorophyll degradation, Maillard reactions, caramelization reactions, and isomerization of phenolic substances, forming the quality of LYT. Specifically, chlorophyll degradation favored the formation of color quality; the taste quality was determined by the content of soluble sugars, amino acids, catechins, etc.; the aroma quality was dependent on the content changes of alcohols and aldehydes, as well as the increase of sweet and roasting aroma substances in the third drying stage. Additionally, twelve key aroma components, including linalool, (E)-β-ionone, 2,3-diethyl-5-methyl-pyrazine, etc., were identified as contributors to revealing LYT rice crust-like and sweet aroma formation mechanism.
