Abstract:

To investigate the drying technology and formation mechanism of chestnut-like aroma of green tea, this paper systematically summarized the relevant researches on tea aroma and chestnut-like aroma in the past 30 years at home and abroad. Although there had been numerous reports on the aroma compounds of green tea, while studies on chestnut-like aroma were relatively scarce. So far, the chestnut-like aroma type was subdivided and the key components were explored. However, the formation mechanism of the aroma was confined to theoretical conjecture, and the specific mechanism was not investigated based on the processing technology. In addition, the influencing factors of chestnut-like aroma had not been studied thoroughly, and it could only be speculated that the fixation and drying process were the critical factors. Thus, the systematic research based on the drying process and parameters should be carried out in the future. The present study aims to summarize the relevant researches on chestnut-like aroma, discuss the key technology for the formation of chestnut-like aroma, and emphatically analyze the effects of related parameters of drying process. The results will provide theory basis for the processing of chestnut-like aroma of green tea.

Key words: green tea, chestnut-like aroma, influencing factors, drying process
