Abstract:

In order to solve the hidden safety problems caused by long stacking time and microbial contamination in the processing of Tibetan tea, a new processing technology of Tibetan tea was explored. In this paper, green tea was taken as the experimental material, exogenous enzymes prepared from potatoes were added, and Tibetan tea was processed by combining heat and humidity conversion. The optimal technological parameters were studied through response surface analysis, and sensory perception, flavor, pigment and aroma components were compared with the Tibetan tea made by traditional technology. The results showed that the enzymatic conversion was carried out by adding 80 U·g-1, 60% water content of tea billet, fermentation temperature of 34 ℃, fermentation time of 7 h, and then the humid heat conversion was carried out under the condition of 80 ℃ for 60 h. The Tibetan tea made by this process was mellower than the traditional process, with more red and bright liquor color, more pure aroma, and no sour and mouldy taste. Compared with the traditional Tibetan tea, water extracts content, theaflavin, thearubigin and theabrownine were increased by 11.72, 0.05, 1.47 and 0.28 percentage points, respectively. In addition, there were more fragrant floral substances, among which beta linalol with magnolia flower, lily and woody fragrance increased by 1.69 percentage points, alpha cedrol with woody fragrance increased by 0.49 percentage points, geranyl acetone with fruit aroma increased by 2.27 percentage points, which greatly improved the flavor quality of tea.
