Abstract:

In order to improve biochemical and sensory attributes of Fenghuangdancong oolong tea, the effect of green-making technology on biochemical parameters of Fenghuangdancong oolong tea was investigated. Mechanical green-making mode obviously increased the PPO activity Guihua oolong tea from 19.36 to 23.33 U/g, the POD activity from 34.65 to 48.36 U/g and the SOD activity from 252.34 to 341.30 U/g, thereby decreasing the sensory evaluation score from 93.5 to 86.1. This indicates that excessive green-making has an adverse effect on the quality formation of Fenghuangdancong oolong tea. However, no effect of mechanical green-making technology on the properties of Zhilan oolong tea was observed due to its larger thickness. Thus, mechanical green-making mode is unsuitable for the processing of Guihua oolong tea.

Key words: oolong tea, green-making technology, biochemical parameters, sensory quality
