Sensomics evaluation of sun drying for reducing the bitterness and astringency of crude Ancha tea by Zhibin Ye, Wenjing Huang, Zhenbin Chen, Jixin Zhang, Chenxin Hu, Huan Zhou, Qian Xu, Jingming Ning

“…Sun drying reduced the levels of (−)-epicatechin gallate, (−)-epigallocatechin gallate, and kaempferol-3-rutinoside but increased the levels of kaempferol-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, and myricetin-3-galactoside, thereby reducing the bitterness and astringency of CAT. Taste addition experiments confirmed that these six target compounds were the main contributors to the differences in bitterness and astringency between the CAT samples prepared using different drying methods. …”
