Aroma Components of Huiming Tea
No full textIn this study, the volatile components and key aroma-active compounds of 13 representative Huiming tea samples were analyzed using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry-mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS). Results showed that a total of 120 volatile components were identified, mainly including 26 alcohols, 26 esters, and 14 ketones. Among them, the contents of the aroma compounds geraniol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-3-hydroxypentyl isobutyrate, indole, (Z)-jasmone, and 1-octen-3-ol were the highest. Moreover, a total of 42 key aroma-active compounds were identified by GC-O analysis, including 2-ethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazine, 6-methyl-5-heptene-2-one, linalool, (Z)-3-hexenyl butanoate, 3,5-octadiene-2-one, and (E)-β-ionone, which played an important role in the formation of the fresh and floral aromas of Huiming tea. The results of this study will contribute to revealing the chemical basis of the aroma quality of Huiming tea, and provide a theoretical basis for improving the aroma quality of Huiming tea

The name longipes refers to the obviously long legs of this troglobitic species. Diagnosis. Cephalic plate slightly wider than long and with complete margination along the lateral margin of cephalic plate, posterior border covering tergite 1; antenna extending to the posterior margin of tergite 8; TT6–19 with complete paramedian sutures, TT5–23 with complete margination; posterior margin of tergite of ultimate legbearing segment with a trapezoid protrusion; LL1–22 almost glabrous, only with very scattered and fine hairs; tibia, tarsus 1 and tarsus 2 of leg 22 each with one spur; prefemur and femur of ultimate legs glabrous, tibia and tarsi with densely bristles, ventral spinous process of the prefemur long and the dorsomedial spinous process short.
