Article Abstract

Drying is key to green tea aroma. Solvent-assisted flavor evaporation-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and quantitative descriptive analysis were used to characterize the aroma profiles of sun-dried (SD), hot-air-dried (HD), and combination-dried (CD) green tea samples. Sun drying leads to the formation of sweet and floral aromas in green tea, whereas hot-air drying leads to the formation of malty, fatty, and roasted aromas. Gas chromatography-olfactometry and quantitative analysis were used to screen 24 key odorants, with an odor activity value of ≥1, primarily consisting of unsaturated fatty acid degradation products. These products included ()-4-heptenal, ()-2-nonenal, (,)-2,4-heptadienal, (,)-2,4-decadienal, 1-octen-3-ol, nonanal, decanal, ()-2-octenal, and octanal. Quantitative and in vitro simulation experiments revealed that sun drying mitigated the thermal degradation of unsaturated fatty acids, thereby reducing the production of fatty odorants. The results confirmed that the SD and CD samples had lower fatty odor intensity than the HD sample.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main catechin in green tea, is associated with antidiabetic and anti-obesity effects, although its acute hepatic actions remain unclear. We investigated short-term effects of EGCG (10-500 μm) using isolated perfused rat livers and complementary assays in mitochondrial, microsomal, and cytosolic fractions. EGCG markedly inhibited gluconeogenesis from lactate (up to 52%), glycerol (33%), and alanine (47%), while it stimulated glycolysis, glycogenolysis, and oleic acid oxidation (+42% total ketone bodies).

The cerambycid beetles are important components in the terrestrial ecosystem as they play a dual role in both degrading dying trees and killing healthy plants. The factors including human activity, habitat contraction, climate changes and pesticide use have been shaping the adaptation of beetles to host plants and the environment. As suggested in research on the functions of beetles' olfactory proteins, odorant binding proteins (OBPs) have been found to be involved in insecticide resistance other than chemoreception.
