Abstract: This study investigated the dynamic changes of volatile flavor compounds, fatty acids, amino acids, and small-molecule sugars in charcoal-roasted Qidan Wuyi rock tea during the roasting process using electronic nose (E-nose) and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC × GC-O-MS). Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) was used to identify nine key differential compounds, namely (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal, 3,5-octadien-2-one, α-ionone, (E,E)-2,4-hexadienal, linalool, phenylacetaldehyde, aspartic acid, serine, and D-arabinose. The findings of this study provide data support and a theoretical basis for standardizing the roasting process of Wuyi rock tea, establishing an objective quality evaluation system, and facilitating targeted product development.

Key words: roasting duration; comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry; aroma compounds; aroma precursors
