C6-Aldehydes emitted from intact tea leaves were analyzed quantitatively. Emission of the aldehydes increased temporarily in mid-May when enzymatic activities involved in aldehyde formation from lipids began to increase. Levels of C6-aldehydes in tea leaves also increased temporarily. However, the accumulated C6-aldehydes did not always correspond to emitted ones.
