“…Having considered the previous work in this area, we now present a study in which the final aroma quality of green tea can be predicted by potent odorants extracted by headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME). HS-SPME has been proven to be a fast, simple, and convenient method for the analysis of volatile compounds in tea (Augusto and Zini, 2002;Lv et al, 2012). This technique has also been successfully applied to the quality assessments of apples (Lavilla et al, 1999), strawberries (Azodanlou et al, 2003a), vegetable oils (Jeleń et al, 2000), mandarin juices (Alvarez et al, 2011), and tomatoes and apricots (Azodanlou et al, 2003b).…”
