Rapid characterization of the volatile profiles in Pu-erh tea by gas phase electronic nose and microchamber/thermal extractor combined with TD-GC-MS.

Aroma plays an important role in the quality of Pu-erh tea. However, the quality evaluation of Pu-erh tea aroma is heavily relied on the experience of sensory evaluation, and the theoretical research is relatively scarce. In the present work, the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea were characterized by using gas phase electronic nose (e-nose) and microchamber/thermal extractor (µ-CTE) combined with thermal desorption coupled to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (TD-GC-MS). A satisfactory discrimination model (R2 Y = 0.95, Q2  = 0.807) was obtained by using orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) based on the odor fingerprint of different brands of Pu-erh tea. In addition, based on the double criterion of multivariate analysis with VIP >1.0 and univariate analysis with p ≤ 0.001, 39 volatile components were identified to contribute greatly to the discrimination of five brands of Pu-erh tea. The results suggested that gas phase e-nose and µ-CTE combined with TD-GC/MS were simple, rapid techniques to characterize the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea and were allowed to effectively distinguish different brands of Pu-erh tea, which would provide an important reference on the quality assessment of Pu-erh tea. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This work demonstrates that the volatile compounds in Pu-erh tea are simply and rapidly characterized by using µ-CTE/TD-GC/MS and gas phase e-nose, allowing to effectively distinguish different brands of Pu-erh tea, which can provide an important reference for the quality assessment and authentication of Pu-erh tea.
