Abstract

Background and Aims: The tea plant, Camellia sinensis (L.) O.Kuntze is cultivated in the temperate parts of the world because of its economical value and has been known for ages. According to the processing method, tea can be classified mainly into three types; green, oolong and black tea. The composition of tea obtained from C.sinensis heavily depends on geographical location, harvesting time, storage condition and manufacturing process. So the purpose of this paper is to study the volatile composition of green and black tea volatiles manufactured from C.sinensis cultivated in North Anatolia.
