Quantitative descriptive analysis, non-targeted metabolomics and molecular docking reveal the dynamic aging and taste formation mechanism in raw Pu-erh tea during the storage by Bingsong Ma, Cunqiang Ma, Binxing Zhou, Xuan Chen, Yuhua Wang, Yifan Li, Junfeng Yin, Xinghui Li

“…In this study, quantitative descriptive analysis (QDA) and UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS/MS-based non-targeted metabolomics were performed to illustrate dynamic changes of taste compounds across 18 RaPT samples during the storage. Multivariate statistical analyses effectively classified stored RaPT into three groups based on storage stages, confirming that storage duration, rather than environmental conditions, primarily influences the taste profile and the changes in non-volatile compounds. …”
