    Abstract:
    Although aged fragrance is the most outstanding quality characteristic of dark tea, its formation still is not much clear. Thus, the volatiles of Qingzhuan tea (QZT) during the whole post-fermentation process were investigated at an industrial scale. The results showed that most of volatiles increased during pile-fermentation of QZT and weakened during aging storage, but some new volatiles were produced through aging storage. Hexanal, (E)-2-hexenal, (E)-2-decenal, 2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde, heptanal, (E)-2-octenal, (R)-5,6,7,7a-tetrahydro-4,4,7a-trimethyl-2(4H)-benzofuranone, ionone, 2-heptanone, 3-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, (R,S)-5-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hepten-2-one, cis-5-ethenyltetrahydro-5-trimethyl-2-furanmethanol, and linalool generated by pile-fermentation should be the basic volatiles of aged fragrance in QZT, and 4-(2,4,4-trimethyl-cyclohexa-1,5-dienyl)-but-3-en-2-one, 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one, safranal, guaiene, trans-2-(2-propynyloxy)-cyclohexanol, nonanal, and 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone formed during aging storage should be the transformed volatiles of aged fragrance in QZT, which together constitute the characteristic components of aged fragrance. Notably, 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one, and safranal were selected as the key volatiles of QZT. These results contribute to understand better the formation of agedfragrance in dark tea.
