Exploring seasonal differences in taste and nonvolatiles of Lu'an Guapian tea and perceptual interactions between odorants and EGCG via multi-sensory analysis and metabolomics

)-3-hexen-1-ol (4.88-5.85 μg/L), could effectively mask the bitterness of EGCG and improve sensory acceptability. These findings provide theoretical insights into the seasonal effects of LAGP tea and guide the optimization of optimization of summer-autumn tea production.
