Abstract: In order to simultaneously determine the aromatic composition and odor characteristics of Xihu Longjing tea by as chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometer (MS) and GC-olfactometry, volatile aromatic components were extracted from Xihu Longjing tea infusion in-tube extraction and direct thermal desorption (ITEX). It was confirmed that the compounds responsible for the characteristic aroma of Xihu Longjing tea were dimethyl sulfide, 2-(methylthio) propionaldehyde, 3-ethyl- 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, linalool, α-terpineol, geraniol and cis-jasmone.

Key words: Xihu Longjing tea, gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS), GC-olfactometry, characteristic aroma, dynamic headspace extraction
