“…37 Among them, (E,E)-2,4-heptadienal and (E,E)-2,4decadienal (OAV 296, AI 9.87) were formed during the withering stage and increased during the pan-firing stage for teas. 38 β-Cyclocitral (OAV 5, AI 5.82) has been detected in the black tea, which was produced by the oxidative decomposition of carotenoids. 39 The detection of octanal (OAV 357, AI 9.64), (E)-2-nonenal (OAV 169, AI 7.88), heptanal (OAV 55, AI 6.98), nonanal (OAV 33, AI 7.27), hexanal (OAV 33, AI 5.34), decanal (OAV 29, AI 3.69), (E)-2-octenal (OAV 6, AI 5.58), undecanal (OAV 6, AI 3.65), dodecanal (OAV 5, AI 4.44), and pentanal (OAV 3, AI 7.01) also indicated that the complicated thermal-physical and chemical changes occurred during steeping processes, which was consistent with the HS−GC−IMS results of RAPT above.…”
