Effect of brewing conditions on phytochemicals and sensory profiles of black tea infusions: A primary study on the effects of geraniol and β-ionone on taste perception of black tea infusions
2021
Abstract As a worldwide popular drink, black tea has always been one of the main focuses of tea studies. However, few studies have addressed the flavor profiles and related components, and most researches were based on a single factor. This study investigated the effects of multiple brewing conditions (temperature, time, water/tea ratio, and particle size) on the phytochemicals (non-volatile and volatile compounds) and sensory profiles of black tea infusions through response surface methodology. The regression models describing the brewing of detected indexes were significant (p ≤ 0.01) and reliable (R2 ≥ 0.902). The particle size led to the greatest variation of non-volatile compounds and presented negative correlations, while the water/tea ratio affected the composition of volatile compounds the most. Meanwhile, through the addition of the selected aroma compounds (geraniol and β-ionone), an enhancement of black tea infusion sweetness was observed, proved the existence of odor-taste interaction in black tea infusions.
