Popis: The bitter and astringent taste and miscellaneous smell of vine tea prevent its further development. In this study, we used a processing technology that mimics yellow tea to improve the flavor of vine tea and revealed its internal reasons through metabolomics. Sensory evaluation showed the yellowing process for 6–12 h reduced the bitterness and astringency significantly, and enriched the aroma. The improvement of taste was mainly related to the down-regulation of anthocyanins (54.83–97.38%), the hydrolysis of gallated catechins (34.80–47.81%) and flavonol glycosides (18.56–44.96%), and the subsequent accumulation of d-glucose (33.68–78.04%) and gallic acid (220.96–252.09%). For aroma, increase of total volatile metabolite content (23.88–25.44%) and key compounds like geraniol (239.32–275.21%) induced the changes. These results identified the positive effects of yellowing process on improvements in vine tea flavor and the key compounds that contribute to these changes.
