Abstract

Sun drying is the key technique for the quality formation of sun-dried green tea. In this study, the effect of three sun drying treatments, namely sun drying, sun drying shed and ultraviolet lamp irradiation under sun drying shed on fatty acids, volatile compounds, and sensory quality were compared. Results showed that there were totally seven fatty acids were detected, and unsaturated fatty acids account for up to about 60%. Among which, linolenic acid, and linoleic acid had higher contents. Moreover, the sun drying with the highest UV intensity led to the significant (P<0.05) degradation of unsaturated fatty acids which was 35.73%. A total of 84 volatiles were identified, among which aldehydes and alcohols were the major chemical classes. And the content of aldehydes was the highest which reached 23%-42%. The treatment of sun drying shed, ultraviolet lamp irradiation under sun drying shed and sun drying increased the contents of volatile compounds such as aldehydes by 50%, 112% and 205%, respectively, compared with rolled leaves. In summary, in the treatment with higher UV intensity, the changes showed a good trend. This study provides a theoretical basis for artificially simulating the drying of sun-dried green tea and which help to improve the existing sun-drying shed technology.
