“…A variety of different volatile organic components (VOCs) are presented in tea although in minute quantities (i.e., 0.01% of the total dry weight). VOCs have a significant impact on tea flavor because of their low threshold values and resulting high odor units (Rawat et al, 2007). Generally, aroma compounds are classified into two groups: Group I is defined as non-terpenoid species, for instance, hexanal, trans-2-hexenal, 2-hexanol, and cis-3-hexenol; Group II is defined as terpenoid species, such as linalool, linalool oxides, benzaldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, nerol, geraniol, α-ionone, benzyl alcohol, phenyl ethanol, and β-ionone (Muthumani et al, 2013).…”
