Abstract: Abstract: Kangzhuan tea is a representative variety of dark tea, but whose aroma quality has not been systematically studied. In this paper, the aroma characteristics of Kangzhuan tea were analyzed using sensory evaluation, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O). The results of sensory evaluation showed that floral and wood notes were the main aroma profile of kangzhuan tea. By GC-MS analysis, 35 volatile compounds were identified from Kangzhuan tea. Among them, 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene (151.7 μg/mL), dihydroactinidiolide (96.9 μg/mL), 2-ethylhexanol (37.3 μg/mL), cedrol (34.8 μg/mL) and phenylacetaldehyde (25.5 μg/mL) had higher concentration than other volatiles. GC-O results showed that trans-2-nonenal (green), trans-β-ionone (floral), linalool (floral), hexanal (green), phenylacetaldehyde (green), trans-α-ionone (woody and stale) and linalool oxide I (floral) were the main flavor contributing compounds. The results laid an experimental foundation for further study on the aroma characteristics of Kangzhuan tea.
