Abstract

Free and bound aroma compounds in green and fermented teas treated with microbial-fermentation were analyzed using headspace-solid phase microextraction gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry. Aldehydes and ketones in green tea decreased during microbial fermentation, whereas linalool and geraniol increased in the fermented tea. After enzyme treatment, (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol increased significantly following enzymatic hydrolysis of both green and fermented teas. In addition, benzaldehyde, 3-hexenyl acetate, and geraniol also increased in green tea with enzyme treatment. Bound aroma compounds in the green and fermented teas increased at different levels of added enzyme. We demonstrated the enhancement of both green and fermented teas by enzyme treatment, which can lead to improvement in the flavor qualities of green and fermented teas.

본 연구에서는 녹차와 녹차에 미생물을 접종하여 발효시킨 후 발효차의 유리형 및 결합형 향기성분을 headspace-solid phase microextraction(HS-SPME)-GC/GC-MS를 이용하여 분석하였다. 녹차가 미생물학적 발효과정을 거치는 중에 녹차에 존재하는 aldehyde류와 ketone류는 감소하였고 linalool과 geraniol은 증가하였다. 녹차와 후발효차 잎에 추가적으로 효소를 처리하여 분석한 결과 녹차에서는 (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol>benzaldehyde>3-hexenyl acetate>geraniol순으로 향기성분이 증가되었고, 후발효차에서는 (Z)-3-hexen-1-ol>benzaldehyde>geraniol>3-hexenyl acetate>1-hexanol 순으로 증가하였으며, 녹차보다는 후발효차에서 효소에 의해 증가되는 향기성분이 많았다. 효소양을 달리하여 처리하였을 때 녹차와 후발효차 모두 효소의 양이 증가함에 따라 휘발성 향기성분이 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 본 실험을 통하여 효소처리를 통해 녹차와 후발효차의 향기를 증가시킴으로써 녹차와 후발효차의 향기 품질을 향상시킬 수 있는 가능성을 확인할 수 있었다.
