Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of tea aroma extraction, and in particular relates to a portable fresh tea leaf aroma sampling device. Background Art

[0002] Tea products are mainly processed from young buds and leaves of tea trees. Studies have confirmed that tea leaves are rich in a variety of characteristic secondary metabolites. The aroma of tea is one of the important indicators for evaluating the quality of tea, and it is also an important factor in attracting consumers and improving market competitiveness. Volatile compounds determine the aroma characteristics of tea. More than 700 aroma components have been identified in tea leaves, mainly including more than 10 categories such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, phenols, nitrogen-containing compounds and oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds. Tea aroma substances can be divided into terpenes and their derivatives, aliphatics and their derivatives, aromatic derivatives, nitrogen-containing, oxygen-containing heterocyclic compounds and other compounds according to their chemical structure.

[0003] The sweetness of tea mainly comes from the protein and amino acids in tea leaves; the bitterness of tea leaves mainly comes from tea polyphenols and alkaloids, while the aroma is mainly from various volatile esters. Spring tea grown at low temperatures has high protein and amino acid content, so it has a sweet and fresh taste. Summer tea grown at high temperatures in summer has high tea polyphenol content, so it has a strong bitter taste. The good taste mainly comes from protein and amino acids, and various aromas come from volatile esters. The aromatic substances in tea leaves are also called "volatile aroma components (VFC)", which is a general term for volatile substances in tea leaves. Tea aromatic substances are a mixture of various different components, and most molecules have one (or more) unsaturated double bonds, or contain certain active groups that play a role in the formation of aroma. At room temperature, most aromatic substances are oily liquids, colorless or slightly yellow, most of which have aroma and are very volatile.

[0004] The extraction of aroma from fresh tea leaves is beneficial to the detection of pesticide residues, aroma components and content in fresh tea leaves, so as to ensure the quality of tea and promote research on tea. In the extraction of aroma from fresh tea leaves, fresh leaves are easily oxidized after picking. To ensure the quality of aroma extraction, the aroma must be extracted in time after picking. The existing technology lacks an aroma extraction device that is easy to carry, which leads to untimely aroma extraction and affects the detection results.

[0005] With the application of various trace analysis instruments, the research on the extraction and component identification of tea aroma substances has made great progress. At present, headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) or GC-MS is widely used to comprehensively determine tea aroma substances. However, due to the low content, complex composition, volatility and instability of aroma substances in Pu'er tea, oxidation, polymerization, group transfer and other reactions are prone to occur during the extraction process. Therefore, the tea aroma extracts obtained by the commonly used HS-SPME or GC-MS methods still cannot well reflect the aroma characteristics of the tea samples. In addition, due to different thresholds, the compounds with high content obtained by instrument detection may not be the dominant factor of the aroma, while the compounds with low content are very likely to be the key to the formation of the aroma. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the problem that there is a lack of portable aroma extraction devices in the background technology, which leads to untimely aroma extraction and affects the detection results, the present invention provides a portable fresh tea leaf aroma sampling device; by putting fresh tea leaves into an FEP gas collection bag, driving air circulation through an atmospheric sampler and a micro air pump, the tea aroma is brought into an aroma adsorption column for adsorption, thereby achieving sampling of the aroma of fresh tea leaves; the circulating air passes through an air filter device to filter out debris before entering the aroma adsorption column, thereby avoiding clogging of the aroma adsorption column and affecting the aroma adsorption effect; the closed internal circulating air is used for aroma adsorption, while ensuring the aroma adsorption effect, the amount of debris is reduced, making the aroma cleaner; the device has the advantages of small size and is easy to carry to a wild tea garden for aroma sampling, thereby avoiding oxidation and deterioration of fresh tea leaves due to long-term transportation, ensuring the accuracy of aroma detection results, and at the same time ensuring accurate grading of tea leaves and tea quality, which is beneficial to the research on aroma substances in fresh tea leaves and the excavation and utilization of aroma substance components.
