An integrated metabolomic and transcriptomic analysis reveals the dynamic changes of key metabolites and flavor formation over Tieguanyin oolong tea production

© 2023 The Author(s)..

To interpret the formation characteristic flavor during oolong tea manufacturing process, the dynamic changes of key flavor components in samples from various processing steps of Tieguanyin oolong tea production were investigated using widely-targeted metabolomic and the transcriptomic approaches. As a result, a total of 1078 metabolites were determined, of which 62 compounds were identified as biomarkers significantly changed over the manufacturing process. Quantitative determination of the total 50,343 transcripts showed 7480 of them were co-expressed different genes. Glutamic acid served as a critical metabolism hub and a signaling molecule for diverse stress responses. Additionally, the targeted quantification results showed that the contents of catechins and xanthine alkaloids in dried tea were dramatically decreased by 20.19% and 7.15% respectively than those in fresh leaves, which potentially contributed to the alleviation of astringent or bitter palates, promoting the characteristic mellow and rich flavor of Tieguanyin oolong tea.
