| Description |
Seasonal and clonal variations in glycosidic
bound volatile compounds were studied in tea clones
representing the three different varieties viz. sinensis, assamica
and cambodiensis grown in Kangra region.
Glycosidic bound volatile compounds were characterised
by GC–MS and quantification of major volatiles was done
by GC. (E)-2-hexenal, benzyl alcohol, phenylethanol, linalool,
linalool oxides, geraniol and methyl salicylate were
the major glycosidic bound volatiles identified in tea shoot.
Clonal variations in the quantity were observed in these
bound volatiles. Seasonal variations were also observed in
the quantity of bound volatiles in regional Kangra clone
during three different growth flushes of tea. These variations
in glycosidic precursors of volatile compounds were
studied in context with orthodox made tea and its quality.
These seasonal and clonal variations in precursors of volatile
compounds can be directly correlated to the difference
in the quality of tea made from these cultivars.
