Abstract:

In order to establish a method for determining the aroma components of yellow tea, headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was coupled to GC-MS. The effects of SPME fiber type, temperature and adsorption and desorption times on the kinds and amounts of aroma compounds of yellow tea were evaluated. Optimum adsorption was achieved using DVB-CAR-PDMS fiber for adsorption at 80 ℃ for 1 h. The thermal desorption of adsorbed aroma compounds from the fiber using a GC-MS injection port temperature of 230 ℃ lasted 1 min. A total of 108 aroma compounds were found in yellow tea, including 32 hydrocarbons, 20 esters, 17 alcohols, 17 aldehydes, 8 ketones, 4 oxygen containing compounds, 4 nitrogen containing compounds, 3 acids, 2 sulfur containing compounds and 1 phenol, and the contents of aliphatic hydrocarbons and aldehydes were both higher, but those of terpenes and aromatic compounds were both lower.
