摘要： Black tea is widely consumed worldwide, and its characteristic taste and color result from fermentation, where polyphenols are enzymatically oxidized to generate major pigments, including theaflavins (TFs), thearubigins (TRs), and theabrownins (TBs). This study investigated the effects of increased oxygen treatment during fermentation on the flavor attributes and chemical properties of Congou black tea. Fresh tea leaves (variety “Fuyun 6”) were subjected to four oxygen treatments: 0 h (CK), 1 h (TY-1h), 2 h (TY-2h), and 3 h (TY-3h), with oxygen supplied at 8.0 L/min. Sensory evaluation revealed that oxygen-treated samples exhibited tighter and deeper-colored leaves, a redder liquor, fuller taste, and a sweeter fragrance compared with CK. Chromatic analysis showed significant increases in redness (a*) and luminance (L*), alongside reduced yellowness (b*), indicating enhanced liquor color. Chemical analyses demonstrated elevated levels of TFs, TRs, and TBs in oxygen treatments, with TRs showing the most pronounced increase. Non-targeted metabolomics identified 2318 non-volatile and 761 volatile metabolites, highlighting upregulated flavonoids, phenolic acids, and lipids, and downregulated catechins and tannins, which collectively contributed to improved taste and aroma. Optimal results were achieved with 2–3 h of oxygen treatment, balancing pigment formation and sensory quality. These findings can provide a scientific basis for optimizing oxygen conditions in black tea fermentation to improve product quality.
