摘要:

【目的】黄茶是我国的特有茶类,特殊的“闷黄”工艺形成了黄茶独特的滋味品质,探究黄茶感官滋味特征属性及其相关的化学物质有助于进一步明确黄茶滋味特征形成的化学贡献机制,为黄茶生产标准化提供理论依据。【方法】本研究基于我国传统黄茶产区典型黄茶样品,经滋味品质感官审评、化学组分检测,结合化学计量学分析方法研究典型黄茶滋味特征属性及相关化学组分。【结果】醇度和甘甜感是黄茶滋味的典型共有属性,不同产区及不同类型黄茶产品感官滋味在鲜、厚、收敛性及粗糙感等属性方面表现出差异;不同产区黄茶在滋味化学组分含量方面也表现出较大差异。本试验的典型黄茶样品中,滋味厚度和收敛性较为相关;粗糙感主要由鲜叶原料较低的嫩度引起,是区分安徽多叶型黄茶和其他黄茶类别的重要贡献因子,同时推测由于本试验条件下的黄大茶样品没食子酸含量较高,化学组分中没食子酸、没食子酸/黄酮总量比值(GA/Fla)、没食子酸/儿茶素总量比值(GA/Ca)及没食子酸/生物碱总量比值(GA/Alk)与滋味粗糙感呈现较高相关性。黄茶滋味鲜感主要与茶汤中氨基酸有关,其中谷氨酸、茶氨酸/氨基酸总量比值(Thea/aa)及鲜味氨基酸总量/氨基酸总量比值(Umami/aa)表现出与黄茶滋味鲜感的较强相关性。【结论】醇度和甘甜感是黄茶滋味的典型共有属性,粗糙感是多叶型黄茶的典型滋味特征。本试验条件下由于样品特点而表现出没食子酸、GA/Fla、GA/Ca及GA/Alk与黄茶滋味糙感相关;谷氨酸、Thea/aa、Umami/aa与黄茶滋味鲜感高度相关。

Abstract:

【Objective】Yellow tea is a unique Chinese traditional tea, which has a special taste characteristic produced by a unique processing step, namely “sealed yellowing”. Studies about the associations of yellow tea taste characteristic attributes and their related chemical compositions would create the conditions for elucidating the chemical-acting mechanism of formation of yellow tea taste characteristic. Meanwhile, it would provide important evidence for standardization production of yellow tea. 【Method】 In this study, the taste characteristic attributes of yellow teas from China traditional yellow-tea producing areas and their related taste-chemical compositions were explored by sensory evaluation, chemical detection and chemometrics analysis 【Result】This research showed that mellow taste and sweet taste were the common characteristic attributes of yellow teas. It had different performance of umami, thickness, astringency and coarse taste in yellow teas from different tea producing areas. There were significant differences on the content of taste chemical compositions among yellow teas from different tea producing areas. In this study, the correlation was closer between thickness and astringency. The coarse taste attribute was an important contributor to separating Anhui yellow big tea from other types of yellow teas, which was due to the lower tenderness of fresh leave materials. The correlation analysis showed that gallic acid, gallic acid/flavone ratio (GA/Fla), gallic acid/catechins ratio (GA/Ca) and gallic acid/alkaloids ratio (GA/Alk) had a high correlation with coarse taste characteristic, which presumably was due to the high content of gallic acid in the yellow tea made from mature leaves under the experimental conditions. Amino acids are the important contributors for the umami taste in yellow teas, especially like glutamic acid, theanine/amino acids ratio (Thea/aa) and umami/total amino acids ratio (Umami/aa) under this experimental condition. 【Conclusion】 The mellow and sweet taste attributes were the taste characteristic common attributes of yellow teas. The coarse taste was typical taste characteristic attribute of yellow big teas. In this study, the gallic acid, GA/Fla, GA/Ca and GA/Alk were closely relation with coarse taste based on the characteristics of these experimental samples, and the glutamic acid, Thea/aa, Umami/aa were highly correlated with umami taste in yellow teas.
