The invention discloses a composition for enhancing Chinese chestnut fragrance of a tea beverage as well as a preparation method and application of the composition, and belongs to the technical field of food additives. The composition is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 0.1 to 0.9 part of furanone, 0.01 to 0.2 part of
linalool, 0.001 to 0.5 part of 2, 5-dimethylpyrazine, 0.02 to 0.1 part of
geraniol, 0.03 to 0.05 part of beta-
ionone and 0.01 to 0.25 part of geranyl
acetone. According to the invention, through a unique ratio design, the scorched nut smell of
pyrazine compounds, the rich caramel
sweet taste of furanone, the stir-fried
smoke and fire smell of 2-acetylthiazole and the freshness of
geraniol and other
terpene alcohols are ingeniously fused, and the complex level of Chinese chestnut fragrance is accurately reproduced. According to the present invention, the edible-grade
propylene glycol is adopted as the
solvent, such that the
solubility, the dispersibility and the stability of the
aroma composition in the tea beverage can be effectively improved, the persistence and the uniformity of the
aroma release can be significantly improved, the
shelf life of the tea beverage product can be easily prolonged, and the market competitiveness of the product can be enhanced.
