Abstract
Developing an effective method to achieve stability and improve the quality of Tibetan tea has scientific significance. Aspergillus niger K1 isolated and identified from Tibetan tea was inoculated in unsterilized or sterilized tea leaves to develop the bioaugmented fermentation (BF) and normal fermentation (NF) processes of Tibetan tea. The results showed that BF resulted in infusions with a deeper color, a stronger aroma, and a thicker taste compared to NF. The dominant bacterium in BF was Staphylococcus (23.76%), while the dominant fungus was Blastobotrys adeninivorans (50.95%). Moreover, 859 metabolites were identified, and the level of 90 differentially changed metabolites (DCMs) in BF increased significantly (VIP > 1, p < 0.05, FC > 2) compared to those in NF, while the level of 37 DCMs in BF decreased significantly (VIP > 1, p < 0.05, FC < 0.5). Correlation analysis demonstrated that A. niger significantly positively correlated with theabrownins, caffeine, and glutamylisoleucine (p < 0.05, |r| > 0.8). B. adeninivorans showed significant negative correlations with 1-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,4-dihydronicotinamide and 2-hydroxyacetaminophen sulfate (p < 0.05, |r| > 0.8). Consequently, the inoculation of A. niger for BF has the potential to alter the metabolites in tea through a synergistic interaction with other microorganisms, ultimately improving the sensory quality of Tibetan tea.
