Effects of electromagnetic roller-hot-air–steam triple-coupled fixation on reducing the bitterness and astringency and improving the flavor quality of green tea

Despite the importance of fixation in determining green tea quality, its role in reducing the bitter and astringent taste of this beverage remains largely unknown. Herein, an electromagnetic roller-hot-air–steam triple-coupled fixation (ERHSF) device was developed, and its operating parameters were...

description Despite the importance of fixation in determining green tea quality, its role in reducing the bitter and astringent taste of this beverage remains largely unknown. Herein, an electromagnetic roller-hot-air–steam triple-coupled fixation (ERHSF) device was developed, and its operating parameters were optimized (steam volume: 20 kg/h; hot-air temperature: 90 °C; hot-air blower speed: 1200 r/min). Compared with conventional fixation treated samples, the ratio of tea polyphenols to free amino acids and ester-catechins to simple-catechins in ERHSF-treated samples was reduced by 11.0% and 3.2%, reducing bitterness and astringency of green tea; amino acids, soluble sugars, and chlorophyll contents were significantly increased, enhancing the freshness, sweetness, and greenness; the color indexes, such as L/L* value of brightness and -a/-a* value of greenness, were also improved, and ERHSF-treated samples had the highest sensory scores. These results provided theoretical support and technical guidance for precise quality improvement of summer-autumn green tea.
