Abstract:
Flavor compounds of pine sprout tea and pine needle tea were analyzed and identified in this study. Eighty-one and 39 kinds of flavor compounds were detected in pine sprout tea and pine needle tea by GC, respectively. Among them, 55 and 29 flavor compounds were identified by GC-MS, respectively. Major flavor compounds of pine sprout tea were alpha-pinene, myrcene, beta-thujene, terpinene-4-ol, and delta-cadinene, and major flavor compounds of pine needle tea were alpha-pinene, isoamyl alcohol, trans-caryophyllene, terpinene-4-ol, alpha-terpineol, and delta-cadinene.
