Reviewer 2 Report
1-At the beginning of the summary, what was done suddenly was explained, and without saying we did it in this study per sentence, it came down from the top. (Line 18-19)
2-More comprehensive information about the tea mentioned in the introduction to the abstract.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinyang_Maojian_tea
3-I would like to see what this tea looks like alone.
4- The sentence given at the end of the introduction could also be given in the summary. (Line 82-83)
‘Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the key odorants in XYMJ green tea and their dynamic changes during the manufacturing processes using HS-SPME combined with GC-MS.’
5-Tables are vertical. It could be horizontal.
6- No mention of HS-SPME. What it is and how to do it is not explained.
7- Studies in the literature are lacking. It seems like the information about who did what and what he found is missing.
