  • Evaluation of Roasting Effect on Selected Green Tea Volatile Flavor Compound and Pyrazine Content by HS-SPME GC-MS
    applied sciences Article Evaluation of Roasting Effect on Selected Green Tea Volatile Flavor Compound and Pyrazine Content by HS-SPME GC-MS Roberto Gotti 1 , Alberto Leoni 1 and Jessica Fiori 2,* 1 Department of Pharmacy and Biotechnology, University of Bologna, Via Belmeloro 6, 40126 Bologna, Italy; [email protected] (R.G.); [email protected] (A.L.) 2 Department of Chemistry “G. Ciamician”, University of Bologna, Via Selmi 2, 40126 Bologna, Italy * Correspondence: Jessica.fi[email protected] Featured Application: The characterization of the variation of the volatile flavour compound (VCF) absolute content can be an important contribution in the evaluation of roasted green tea quality, named Hojicha tea, especially with respect to the roasting conditions such as temperature and time. This is a very important aspect in the Hojicha tea trade, to obtain the typical “roasted” aroma and, at the same time, to maintain the widely reported beneficial properties of green tea. Abstract: The present study aims at the development and validation of a quali-quantitative headspace solid-phase microextraction gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS) method for the analysis of odorants in different Chinese and Japanese green teas. A 65 µm PDMS/DVB fiber was used, and GC-MS was performed on a ZB-5 (30 m × 0.25 mm ID, 0.25 µm film) column. The main odorants in green tea samples were identified and the method was fully validated. Linearity (r2 0.981–0.999), sensitivity (LOQ 0.005–0.04 µg/mL), reproducibility (CV% 3.12–10.37), accuracy (recovery% 79.08–99.17) and matrix effect (ME% −9.5 to +4.5) were determined.

  • Sencha – Japan’S Green Tea
    Sencha – Japan’s green tea Sencha (煎茶) is Japan's most consumed and also the most produced tea variety. This green tea owes its popularity due to the refreshing taste and the numerous variations. Depending on the time of harvesting a Sencha can either get a sweet or tarty taste. For Sencha is usally the outstanding variety Yabukita used which makes up about 77% of all cultivated tea cultivars. But, depending on terroir, are also completely different varieties such as Yutakamidori or Asatsuyu used. Varieties of Sencha Sencha can be divided into many different categories. But mainly, it is is distinguished by harvest time and steaming duration. A very early harvested Sencha for example is generally of a higher quality and the tea leaves are finer than a later harvested (eg. Bancha). Asamushi (浅 虫), Sencha which was only slightly steamed (about 30s). Chumushi, Sencha with medium steaming (30-90s). This is the standard steaming time. Fukamushi (深 蒸し), deep steamed Sencha (1-2 min). It is often marketed as Fukamushicha. Jo Sencha (上 煎茶), fine Sencha. Toku Jo Sencha, (特 上 煎茶), extra fine Sencha. Hachijuhachiya Sencha (八 十八 夜), tea that was harvested 88 days (literally nights) after Risshun, the beginning of spring. Shincha (新 茶) is the first harvest of a year. Kabusecha or Kabuse Sencha is like Gyokuro a shaded tea. It's often regarded as a own tea variety. Production of Sencha Sencha is nowadays mostly harvested by machine and immediately steamed in order to prevent oxidation (kill green). This method, also called the Japanese method, ensures that the tea tastes very fresh.
