    Abstract:

    Pu-erh tea is a kind of tea which uses sun dried green tea as its raw material and processed with a unique technology. Microbial fermentation plays a key role in the formation of Pu-erh tea quality. To improve the quality of Pu-erh tea and reduce fermentation time, some microbes with tea polyphenols conversion activity were isolated and identified from Pu-erh tea samples. After several rounds of screening, three strains with high ability of conversion tea polyphenols to theabrownin were obtained. After the three strains were inoculated to Pu-erh tea solid fermentation, the conversion process of tea polyphenols to tea pigments was obviously stimulated. Meanwhile, the ratio of three pigments have become better. The results of molecular identification showed that these three strains were Aspergillus niger, Candida blankii and Aspergillus awamori, respectively.
