Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the effect of the combination of shaking and various anaerobic treatments on the aroma quality of gabaron oolong tea (GAOT) by chemical and sensory evaluation. The results showed that elevated anaerobic treatment harmed GAOT aroma, emphasizing undesirable attributes such as earthy, fatty, etc. A total of 85 volatiles were identified by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS), and the relationship between aroma attributes and volatiles were revealed by PLS regression projection and correlation network. Hexanal and octanal at inappropriate concentrations were main causes to the earthy attribute, while nonanal exhibited a potential masking effect against unpleasant attributes. Addition experiments and σ-τ plot analysis verified these associations. Furthermore, observing dynamic patterns of content changes of these three aldehydes in fresh leaves prior to tea thermal processing, providing references for future process optimization. These results provide a new direction for enhancing the quality of GAOT.

Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
