Volatile fatty acid derivatives (VFADs) play a significant role in contributing to flowery-fruity flavor black tea. Innovative black tea is typically crafted from aroma-intensive tea cultivars, such as Jinmudan, using defined production methodologies. In this study, the during-processing tea leaves of innovative black tea were applied as materials, and we selected a total of 45 VFADs, comprising 11 derived aldehydes, nine derived alcohols, and 25 derived esters. Furthermore, the dynamic variations of these VFADs were uncovered. Transcriptome analysis was performed to identify genes involved in the LOX (lipoxygenase) pathway, resulting in the identification of 17 genes, one hydrogen peroxide lyase () gene, 11 alcohol dehydrogenases () genes, 11 genes as acyl CoA oxidase () genes, and three allene oxide synthase () genes. Additionally, the expression levels of these genes were measured, indicating that the processing treatments of innovative black tea, particularly turn-over and fermentation, had a stimulation effect on most genes. Finally, qRT-PCR verification and correlation analysis were conducted to explain the relationship between VFADs and candidate genes. This study aims to provide a reference for illuminating the formation mechanisms of aroma compounds in innovative black tea, thereby inspiring the optimization of innovative processing techniques and enhancing the overall quality of black tea.

Background and objectives With the continuous presence of microflora, saliva, and frequent intake of coloured food, the colour stability of any aesthetic material may become compromised. Hence, the present study was conducted to evaluate the influence of tea, coffee, and turmeric solutions on the colour stability of commercially available heat-cured and autopolymerizing denture base acrylic resins as well as a soft lining material. Methods Twenty-four rectangular samples measuring 20 mm × 15 mm × 2 mm were prepared for each type of test material.

Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), linked to lipid dysregulation, poses global health risks. 2,2',3,4,4',5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB138) is a persistent organic pollutant that poses potential threats to liver health due to its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation. Theabrown (TB), a natural compound extracted from black tea, exhibits lipid-lowering and antioxidant properties, but its protective effects on PCB138-induced liver injury have not been thoroughly investigated.

In the search for novel succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) fungicides for managing rice sheath blight (RSB) and sclerotinia stem rot (SSR), 28 pyrazole-4-carboxamides incorporating stilbene or diphenylacetylene scaffolds were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities. The results showed that compound exhibited the most promising antifungal efficacy against and with EC (half maximal effective concentration) values of 0.004 and 0.

In this study, a novel bleaching method for ramie cellulose fibers with low oxidative damage was developed by utilizing the properties of sodium percarbonate contained in tea saponin, which slowly releases hydrogen peroxide in the catalytic oxidation system of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI). First, the bleaching process was optimized using response surface design, followed by comparison and characterization of fiber properties prepared under different bleaching systems. Finally, the energy consumption, water consumption, and toxicity of the NHPI/tea saponin system were evaluated.

High-performance hydrogel biomaterials hold considerable promise for advanced wound care. However, the suboptimal mechanical properties of conventional hydrogel materials limit their practical application. In this study, Hyaluronic acid sodium salt (HA), xanthan gum (XG), and N-acryloyl-glycinamide (NAGA) hydrogels with porous structures were successfully fabricated using in-situ extrusion 3D printing technology, and a functionalization strategy involving tea polyphenol (TP) immersion was proposed to enhance material properties through additional hydrogen bonding.
