Abstract

To investigate the aroma difference of commercial Korean green tea caused by manufacturing process and harvesting time, analysis of aroma concentrates of steamed green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) and parched green teas(1st tea, 2nd tea) was accomplished. Steamed green tea, which had a briskness, greenish odor and sweet-floral odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, nerolidol, ketones such as cis-jasmone, 2,6,6-trimethyl-2-hydroxycyclohexanone and indole, Parched green tea, which had a slightly greenish odor and floral, roast odor, contained large amounts of terpene alcohols such as linalool, geraniol, aromatic alcohols such as benzylalcohol, phenylethanol and phenol, indole. Almost same tendency of odor component change of 1st tea and 2nd tea differed to harvesting time being observed in steamed tea and parched tea. In 2nd tea of both samples, aliphatic alcohols such as 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-penten-1-al and two 2, 4-heptadienal(cis, trans and trans, trans) increased remarkably. It seems that these four components effects on the grade of the odor.

한국산(韓國産) 시판녹차(市販綠茶)의 향기성분(香氣成分)을 제조공정별(製造工程別(찐차(茶), 볶은차(茶))과 차(茶) 잎을 딴 시기별(時期別)(1번차(番茶), 2번차(番茶))로 구분區分하여 분석(分析), 동정(同定)하였다. 그 결과(結果), 찐차(茶)와 볶은차(茶)에서 terpene alcohol류(類) 8종(種), 그 외의 alcoholel류(類) 9종(種), aldehyde류(類) 5종(種), ketone류(類) 8종(種), ester류(類) 4종(種) 및 기타 7종(種)을 포함(包含)하는 총(總)41종류(種類)의 향기성분(香氣成分)을 확인(確認)하였다. 찐차(茶)는 볶은차(茶)에 비(比)하여 nerolidol, indole등의 함량(含量)이 많았고, 볶은차(茶)에서는 linalool, geraniol, benzylalcohol, phenol 등(等)이 함량(含量)이 많았다. 차(茶) 잎을 딴 시기별(時期別)로보면 6월(月)에 딴 찐 2번차(番茶)의 경우 4월(月)에 딴 찐 1번차(番茶)에 비(比)하여 1-penten-3-ol, cis-2-penten-1-ol과 cis, trans-2,4-heptadienal과 trans, trans-2,4-heptadienal의 현저(顯著)한 증가(增加)가 보였다. 볶은차(茶)의 경우에서도 대체로 같은 경향(傾向)을 나타내었다.
