Article Abstract
Famous oolong tea (Oriental Beauty), which is manufactured by tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) infected with tea green leafhoppers, contains characteristic volatile monoterpenes derived from linalool. This study aimed to determine the formation mechanism of linalool in tea exposed to tea green leafhopper attack. The tea green leafhopper responsible for inducing the production of characteristic volatiles was identified as Empoasca (Matsumurasca) onukii Matsuda. E. (M.) onukii attack significantly induced the emission of linalool from tea leaves (p<0.05) as a result of the up-regulation of the linalool synthases (CsLIS1 and CsLIS2) (p<0.05). Continuous mechanical damage significantly enhanced CsLIS1 and CsLIS2 expression levels and linalool emission (p<0.05). Therefore, continuous wounding was a key factor causing the formation and emission of linalool from tea leaves exposed to E. (M.) onukii attack. This information should prove helpful for the future use of stress responses of plant secondary metabolism to improve quality components of agricultural products.

Jasmine tea, a further processing tea made by scenting green, black, oolong, or other tea with jasmine flowers, is widely appreciated worldwide for its fragrant aroma, refreshing taste, and beneficial health effects. The production of jasmine tea is a meticulous and complex process that involves chemical reactions, physical adsorption, and flavor interaction effects at the sensory level between jasmine and tea. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the research on the processing technology, characteristic aroma formation, nonvolatile compounds, and health benefits of jasmine tea.

This article presents an advanced iteration of the polyoxometalate (POM)-Ionosolv concept to generate biobased methyl formate in high yield and a bleached cellulose pulp from lignocellulosic biomass in a single-step operation by using redox-balanced POM catalysts and molecular oxygen in alcoholic ionic liquid (IL) mixtures. The performance of the three Ionosolv-ILs triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([TEA][HSO]), N,N-dimethylbutylammonium hydrogen sulfate ([DMBA][HSO4]), and tributylmethylphosphonium methyl sulfate ([TBMP][MeSO]), mixed with methanol (MeOH) (30/70 wt%), is evaluated by methyl formate yield from extracted hemicellulose and lignin as well as purity of the bleached cellulose pulp in the presence of various Keggin-type POMs. The redox-balanced HPVMnMoO POM catalyst in [TBMP][MeSO]/MeOH emerge as the most effective combination, achieving 20% methyl formate yield from commercial beech wood.

The post-weaning period is stressful for pigs due to changes in their environment and diet. The occurrence of diarrhea at this stage is high. Growth promoters such as antibiotics and zinc oxide (ZnO) have been used to not only reduce post-weaning diarrhea but also improve growth performance of weaning pigs.

The Hippo signaling pathway, a critical regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and tumor progression, is often dysregulated in NSCLC and contributes to chemo-resistance. This study investigated the potential of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a green tea polyphenol, to overcome OSI resistance by modulating the Hippo signaling pathway, specifically through inhibition of the YAP-1 (Yes-associated protein)-TEAD (TEA domain transcription factor)-CTGF (connective tissue growth factor) axis.
