[PMID: 37025800 PMCID: PMC10070919 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e14855] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2022] [Revised: 03/13/2023] [Accepted: 03/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Benshan tea is a kind of oolong tea, and Benshan (Camellia sinensis) tea tree originates from Anxi County of Fujian Province in China, which is a national tea tree breed. Tea processing is the key to the formation of its odor characteristics. It is extremely important to step by step analyze effects of tea processing on aroma intensity and the formation of odor characteristics for optimizing tea processing process and improving tea quality. The results of this study showed that processing resulted in a significant increase in the content of volatile compounds in tea leaves, i.e., from 25.213 μg/kg to 111.223 μg/kg, in which the volatile compounds were mainly terpenoids. Secondly, the analysis found that 20 kinds of key compounds constituted to odor characteristics of Benshan tea leaves, among which geraniol, trans-β-ionone, gerol, citronellol, benzeneacetaldehyde, and trans-nerolidol were the most key six. Floral and fruity aromas, especially floral aroma, mainly formed odor characteristics of Benshan tea after processing, while floral aroma mainly came from the contribution of geraniol, which was the foremost compound in the formation of floral aroma of Benshan tea.

Abstract
The current work combines headspace solid phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC/MS) with multivariate analysis fusion metabonomics for examining metabolite profile changes. The correlation with metabolic pathways during the fermentation of kombucha tea were comprehensively explored. For optimizing the fermentation process, ultrasound-assisted factors were explored. A total of 132 metabolites released by fermented kombucha were detected by HS-SPME-GC/MS. We employed the principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to present the relationship between aroma components and fermentation time, of which the first two principal components respectively accounted for 60.3% and 6.5% of the total variance. Multivariate statistical analysis showed that during the fermentation of kombucha tea, there were significant differences in the phenotypes of metabolites in the samples, and 25 characteristic metabolites were selected as biomarkers. Leaf alcohol was first proposed as the characteristic volatile in the fermentation process of kombucha. Furthermore, we addressed the generation pathways of characteristic volatiles, their formation mechanisms, and the transformational correlation among them. Our findings provide a roadmap for future kombucha fermentation processing to enhance kombucha flavor and aroma.

Abstract
Sugar metabolites not only act as the key compounds in tea plant response to stress but are also critical for tea quality formation during the post-harvest processing of tea leaves. However, the mechanisms by which sugar metabolites in post-harvest tea leaves respond to mechanical stress are unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of mechanical stress on saccharide metabolites and related post-harvest tea genes. Withered (C15) and mechanically-stressed (V15) for 15 min Oolong tea leaves were used for metabolome and transcriptome sequencing analyses. We identified a total of 19 sugar metabolites, most of which increased in C15 and V15. A total of 69 genes related to sugar metabolism were identified using transcriptome analysis, most of which were down-regulated in C15 and V15. To further understand the relationship between the down-regulated genes and sugar metabolites, we analyzed the sucrose and starch, galactose, and glycolysis metabolic pathways, and found that several key genes of invertase (INV), α-amylase (AMY), β-amylase (BMY), aldose 1-epimerase (AEP), and α-galactosidase (AGAL) were down-regulated. This inhibited the hydrolysis of sugars and might have contributed to the enrichment of galactose and D-mannose in V15. Additionally, galactinol synthase (Gols), raffinose synthase (RS), hexokinase (HXK), 6-phosphofructokinase 1 (PFK-1), and pyruvate kinase (PK) genes were significantly upregulated in V15, promoting the accumulation of D-fructose-6-phosphate (D-Fru-6P), D-glucose-6-phosphate (D-glu-6P), and D-glucose. Transcriptome and metabolome association analysis showed that the glycolysis pathway was enhanced and the hydrolysis rate of sugars related to hemicellulose synthesis slowed in response to mechanical stress. In this study, we explored the role of sugar in the response of post-harvest tea leaves to mechanical stress by analyzing differences in the expression of sugar metabolites and related genes. Our results improve the understanding of post-harvest tea's resistance to mechanical stress and the associated mechanism of sugar metabolism. The resulting treatment may be used to control the quality of Oolong tea.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chestnut-like aroma is one of the unique qualities of Chinese green tea and has become an important factor influencing consumer decisions. However, the chemical formation mechanism of chestnut-like aroma during green tea processing remains unclear. In this study, the dynamic changes of key components contributing to chestnut-like aroma and their precursors were analyzed in fresh leaves, fixation leaves, first baking tea leaves, and green tea. RESULTS The thermal process had an important effect on volatile components in tea leaves, causing a significant decrease of alcohols and esters and a significant increase of ketones, acids, phenols, and sulfur compounds. Furthermore, 31 volatiles were identified as the key odorants responsible for chestnut-like aroma of green tea, including dimethyl sulfide, methyl isobutenyl ketone, 2-methylbutanal, 2,4-dimethylstyrene, d-limonene, methyl 2-methylvalerate, linalool, decanal, longifolene, phenylethyl alcohol, l-α-terpineol, jasmone, and so on. And the majority of these odorants were only formed in the drying stage. Additionally, isoleucine, theanine, methionine, and glucose were found to be involved in the formation of chestnut-like aroma of green tea. CONCLUSION The drying process played a vital important role in the formation of chestnut-like aroma of green tea. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
In addition to volatile compounds, metabolites also have a great effect on the flavour of food. Fresh finger citron cannot be eaten directly because of its spicy and bitter taste, so it is made into a preserved fruit product known as Laoxianghuang (LXH). To investigate the metabolites that have an effect on the flavour of LXH, untargeted metabolomics was performed using an ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS), and the metabolites of the Laoxianghuang samples from different locations in the Chaoshan area were compared and analysed. A total of 756 metabolites were identified and distinct differences were revealed among the different Laoxianghuang samples. A total of 33 differential metabolites with the most significant changes were screened through further multivariate analytical steps, and each group of samples had unique metabolites. For instance, pomolic acid had the highest content in the JG sample, while L-glycyl-L-isoleucine was rich in the QS sample. Moreover, flavonoid metabolites made the greatest contribution to the unique flavour of Laoxianghuang. The metabolic pathways involved are the biosynthetic pathways of flavonoids, isoflavonoids, flavones, and flavonols. This study can provide some creative information for distinguishing the quality differences of Laoxianghuang from the perspective of metabolites and offer preliminary theoretical support to characterise the formation of flavour substances in Laoxianghuang.

Abstract
Introduction Harvest time represents one of the crucial factors concerning the quality of alpine green tea. At present, the mechanisms of the tea quality changing with harvest time have been unrevealed. Methods In the current study, fresh tea leaves (qmlc and gylc) and processed leaves (qmgc and gygc) picked during Qingming Festival and Guyu Festival were analyzed by means of sensory evaluation, metabolomics, transcriptomic analysis, and high-throughput sequencing, as well as their endophytic bacteria (qm16s and gy16s). Results The results indicated qmgc possessed higher sensory quality than gygc which reflected from higher relative contents of amino acids, and soluble sugars but lower relative contents of catechins, theaflavins, and flavonols. These differential metabolites created features of light green color, prominent freshness, sweet aftertaste, and mild bitterness for qmgc. Discussion Flavone and flavonol biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism were uncovered as the key pathways to differentiate the quality of qmgc and gygc. Endophytic bacteria in leaves further influence the quality by regulating the growth of tea trees and enhancing their disease resistance. Our findings threw some new clues on the tea leaves picking to pursue the balance when facing the conflicts of product quality and economic benefits.

Abstract
Background Insufficient low temperatures in winter and soil residues caused by paclobutrazol (PBZ) application pose a considerable challenge for mango floral induction (FI). Gibberellin inhibitors SPD (compound of mepiquat chloride, prohexadione-calcium and uniconazole) had a significant influence on enhancing the flowering rate and yield of mango for two consecutive years (2020-2021). Researchers have indicated that FI is regulated at the metabolic level; however, little is known about the metabolic changes during FI in response to SPD treatment. Methods Here, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS)-based widely targeted metabolomic analysis was carried out to assess the metabolic differences in the mango stem apex during different stage of mango FI (30, 80, 100 days after SPD/water treatment). Results A total of 582 compounds were annotated and 372 metabolites showed two-fold differences in abundance (variable importance in projection, VIP ≥ 1 and fold change, FC≥ 2 or≤ 0.5) between buds at 30, 80, 100 days after SPD/water treatment or between buds under different treatment. Lipids, phenolic acids, amino acids, carbohydrates, and vitamins were among metabolites showing significant differences over time after SPD treatment. Here, 18 out of 20 lipids, including the lysophosphatidylethanolamine (12, LPE), lysophosphatidylcholine (7, LPC), and free fatty acids (1, FA), were significantly upregulated from 80 to 100 days after SPD treatment comared to water treatment. Meanwhile, the dormancy release of mango buds from 80 to 100 days after SPD treatment was accompanied by the accumulation of proline, ascorbic acid, carbohydrates, and tannins. In addition, metabolites, such as L-homocysteine, L-histidine, and L-homomethionine, showed more than a ten-fold difference in relative abundance from 30 to 100 days after SPD treatment, however, there were no significant changes after water treatment. The present study reveals novel metabolites involved in mango FI in response to SPD, which would provide a theoretical basis for utilizing SPD to induce mango flowering.

Abstract
Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) were applied to analyze metabolites in perilla leaves (PLs) during its developmental process. In total, 118 metabolites were identified, including volatile and non-volatile compounds, such as terpenoids, sugars, amino acids, organic acids, fatty acids, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and others. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated great variations of metabolites during PLs development. Clustering analysis (CA) clarified the dynamic patterns of the metabolites. The heatmap of CA showed that most of the detected metabolites were significantly accumulated at stage 4 which is the pre anthesis period, and declined afterwards. The results of the present study provide a comprehensive overview of the metabolic dynamics of developing PLs which suggested that pre anthesis period is the best harvest time for PLs.

Abstract
Preharvest shading significantly influences tea flavor. However, little attention has been given to the mechanism of shading on metabolites, genes, and enzymes in the processing of different tea types. Our study identified 1028 nonvolatile metabolites covering 10 subclasses using a widely targeted metabolome. The results show that shading had a greater effect on the compositions of amino acids, flavonoids, and theaflavins in tea leaves. The combined transcriptomics and enzyme activity analysis results indicate that the upregulated expression of asparagine, aspartate, and tryptophan synthesis genes and proteolytic enzymes promoted the accumulation of amino acids. The downregulated enzyme genes resulted in the reduction of nongalloylated catechins and flavonoid glycosides. Simultaneously, the accumulation of TFs in shaded tea was due to the enhanced enzymatic activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase during processing. Theaflavin-3-3'-di-O-gallate was also significantly positively correlated with the antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities of shaded tea. The results contribute to a better understanding of how preharvest treatments influence summer tea quality.

Abstract
To interpret the environmental stresses induced dynamic changes of volatile and non-volatile constitutes in oolong tea leaves during enzymatic-catalyzed processes (ECP), metabolomic and proteomic studies were carried out using the processed leaf samples collected at the different stages of ECP for Zhangping Shuixian tea manufacture. Non-processed leaves were applied as control. Out of identified 980 non-volatiles and 157 volatiles, 40 non-volatiles and 8 volatiles were screened out as biomarkers, respectively. The integrated analysis on metabolites-proteins showed that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, flavonoid biosynthesis, and phenylalanine metabolism were significantly enriched and highly correlated to the dynamic changes of key metabolites during ECP stage. A biological pathway network was constructed to illuminate the enzymatic-catalyzed production of critical flavoring compounds, including carbohydrates, amino acids, flavonoids, and volatile phenylpropanoids/benzenoids. The electronic-sensory analyses indicated leaf dehydration and mechanical wounding occurred over the sun-withering and turning-over steps are indispensable to form characteristic flavor of Shuixian tea.

Remarkable impact of commercial sterilizing on ginsenosides transformation in fresh ginseng pulp based on widely targeted metabolomics analysis. Food Chem X 2022; 15:100415. [PMID: 36211783 PMCID: PMC9532786 DOI: 10.1016/j.fochx.2022.100415] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/27/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Changes of terpenoids in SGP were identified by widely targeted metabolomics. 88 terpenoids compounds including 30 types of ginsenosides were changed in SGP. Conversion mechanism of ginsenosides during commercial sterilization was elucidated. Ginsenoside ST3 was detected and F4, Rg3, and Rg5 were found in fresh ginseng pulp.
Terpenoids such as ginsenosides are the most important phytochemicals and functional components in ginseng. Commercial sterilizing with high temperature and high pressure is also one of the common methods of ginseng food processing. However, the changes of terpenoids in fresh ginsengs commercially sterilized are unclear. In this study, fresh ginseng pulp (FGP) was commercially sterilized at 121℃ for 30 min, and terpenoid compounds were analyzed by widely targeted metabolomics based on UPLC-ESI-MS/MS system. The commercial sterilization induced the changes of 88 terpenoid compounds including 30 types of ginsenosides, and many minor ginsenoside Rh4, Rg6, Rk2, F4, Rs3, Rk3, Rk1, Rg5, Rg3, Rg4 were remarkably increased in fresh ginseng pulp. Importantly, the ginsenoside ST3 was detected and F4, Rg3, and Rg5 were also found in fresh ginseng pulp. Commercial sterilizing at 121℃ for 30 min will remarkably affect the species and number of ginsenosides in ginseng food.

Abstract
Zingiberis Rhizoma (ZR) has nutritional value and application potentiality, while Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum (ZRP) and Carbonised Ginger (CG) are two main processed products of ZR based on different methods. Here, we performed a widely targeted metabolomics method with Sequential Windowed Acquisition of all Theoretical fragment ions (SWATH) mode to analyze differential metabolites in ZR, ZRP and CG. Additionally, the chemical derivatization was applied to characterize different submetabolomes and improve the separation effect and MS response of metabolites. In total, 369 metabolites were identified and divided into 14 categories, 104 of which were differential metabolites. Our results suggest that carbohydrates, nucleotides, organic acids, vitamins, lipids, indoles, alkaloids, and terpenes contributed to a downward trend after processing, but the maximum content of flavanones, phenylpropanes and polyphenols appeared in ZRP, and that of alcohols appeared in CG. These findings serve as promising perspectives for developing functional food in ZR, ZRP and CG.

Abstract
This study investigates the volatile compounds of green tea produced with different leaves from spring, summer, and autumn in high−latitude region. A total of 95 volatile compounds were identified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Spring, summer and autumn green tea contained 68, 72 and 82 volatile compounds, respectively. Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares−discrimination analysis (PLS−DA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) classified the samples and showed the difference. And 32 key characteristic components were screened out based on variable importance in the projection (VIP) values higher than 1.0. The characteristic volatile compounds of spring green tea including 18 components, such as geranylacetone, phenethyl alcohol, geraniol, β−ionone, jasmone, 1−octen−3−ol and longifolene. 13 components such as 2−methylfuran, indole, 1−octanol, D−limonene and ethanethiol were the key compounds in summer green tea. And 2,4,6−trimethylstyrene was the major differential volatile compounds in autumn green tea. The results increase our knowledge of green tea in different seasons and provide a theoretical basis for production control of green tea.

A Rapid Prediction Method of Moisture Content for Green Tea Fixation Based on WOA-Elman. Foods 2022; 11:foods11182928. [PMID: 36141056 PMCID: PMC9498461 DOI: 10.3390/foods11182928] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2022] [Revised: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 09/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Fixation is the most critical step in the green tea process. Hence, this study developed a rapid and accurate moisture content detection for the green tea fixation process based on near-infrared spectroscopy and computer vision. Specifically, we created a quantitative moisture content prediction model appropriate for the processing of green tea fixation. First, we collected spectrum and image information of green tea fixation leaves, utilizing near-infrared spectroscopy and computer vision. Then, we applied the partial least squares regression (PLSR), support vector regression (SVR), Elman neural network (ENN), and Elman neural network based on whale optimization algorithm (WOA-ENN) methods to build the prediction models for single data (data from a single sensor) and mid-level data fusion, respectively. The results revealed that the mid-level data fusion strategy combined with the WOA-ENN model attained the best effect. Namely, the prediction set correlation coefficient (Rp) was 0.9984, the root mean square error of prediction (RMSEP) was 0.0090, and the relative percent deviation (RPD) was 17.9294, highlighting the model’s excellent predictive performance. Thus, this study identified the feasibility of predicting the moisture content in the process of green tea fixation by miniaturized near-infrared spectroscopy. Moreover, in establishing the model, the whale optimization algorithm was used to overcome the defect whereby the Elman neural network falls into the local optimum. In general, this study provides technical support for rapid and accurate moisture content detection in green tea fixation.

Abstract
Xinyang Maojian (XYMJ) is one of the premium green teas and originates from Xinyang, which is the northernmost green tea production area in China. The special geographic location, environmental conditions, and manufacturing process contribute to the unique flavor and rich nutrition of XYMJ green tea. Aroma is an important quality indicator in XYMJ green tea. In order to illustrate the aroma of XYMJ green tea, the key odorants in XYMJ green tea and their dynamic changes during the manufacturing processes were analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 73 volatile compounds of six different chemical classes were identified in the processed XYMJ green tea samples, and the manufacturing processes resulted in the losses of total volatile compounds. Among the identified volatile compounds, twenty-four aroma-active compounds, such as trans-nerolidol, geranylacetone, nonanal, (+)-δ-cadinene, linalool, (Z)-jasmone, cis-3-hexenyl butyrate, cis-3-hexenyl hexanoate, methyl jasmonate, and β-ocimene, were identified as the key odorants of XYMJ green tea based on odor activity value (OAV). The key odorants are mainly volatile terpenes (VTs) and fatty acid-derived volatiles (FADVs). Except for (+)-δ-cadinene, copaene, cis-β-farnesene, (Z,E)-α-farnesene and phytol acetate, the key odorants significantly decreased after fixing. The principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) and the hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) analyses suggested that fixing was the most important manufacturing process for the aroma formation of XYMJ green tea. These findings of this study provide meaningful information for the manufacturing and quality control of XYMJ green tea.

Abstract
Tibetan tea is not only a national product of geographical identity, but also a traditional beverage inherits Chinese tradition. This study evaluated the metabolic profiles and biological activity in four Tibetan teas. 83 non-volatile metabolites were identified as differentially expressed metabolites, including amino acids and their derivatives, phenolic acids, flavonoids, nucleotides and their derivatives, terpenes, alkaloids, organic acids, lipids and others. CC and 131 were rich in terpenoids and lipids. MZ contained the highest contents of amino acids and their derivatives, phenolic acids and flavonoids. 26 key volatile compounds were considered as odor-active compounds. MZ showed the highest level of antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity. Statistics analysis indicated that polyphenols, flavonoids and catechins were significantly correlated (|r| ≥ 0.7, P < 0.05) with biological activities. This study indicated significant differences in the metabolic profiles of various types of Tibetan tea, which provided a clear database for quality detection of Tibetan tea.

Abstract
Roasting is crucial for producing Yuan An yellow tea (YAYT) as it substantially affects sensory quality. However, the effect of roasting time on YAYT flavor quality is not clear. To investigate the effect of roasting time on the sensory qualities, chemical components, odor profiles, and metabolic profile of YAYTs produced with 13 min roasting, 16 min roasting, 19 min roasting, 22 min roasting, and 25 min roasting were determined. The YAYTs roasted for 22 min got higher sensory scores and better chemical qualities, such as the content of gallocatechin (GC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), free amino acids, solutable sugar, meanwhile the lightness decreased, the hue of tea brew color (b) increased, which meant the tea brew got darker and yellower. YAYTs roasted for 22 min also increased the contents of key odorants, such as benzaldehyde, nonanal, β-cyclocitral, linalool, nerol, α-cedrol, β-ionone, limonene, 2-methylfuran, indole, and longiborneol. Moreover, non-targeted metabolomics identified up to 14 differentially expressed metabolites through pair-wise comparisons, such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, sucrose, and critical metabolites, which were the main components corresponding to YAYT roasted for 22 min. In summary, the current results provide scientific guidance for the production of high quality YAYT.

Abstract
In this study, we produced roasted, baked, steamed, and sun-dried green tea products using the same batch of fresh tea leaves (FTL) of Longjing 43 (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis), and explored processing effects on the metabolic profiles of four types of green teas (FGTs) using the widely targeted metabolomics. Results showed that 146 differential metabolites including flavonoids, amino acids, lipids, and phenolic acids were screened among 1034 non-volatiles. In addition, nineteen differential metabolites were screened among 79 volatiles. Most of non-volatiles and volatiles metabolites changed notably in different manufacturing processes, whereas there were no significant differences (p>0.05) in the levels of total catechins between FGTs and FTL. The transformation of metabolites was the dominant trend during green tea processing. The results contribute to a better understanding of how the manufacturing process influences green tea quality, and provide useful information for the enrichment of tea biochemistry theory.

Non-Targeted Metabolomics Analysis Revealed the Characteristic Non-Volatile and Volatile Metabolites in the Rougui Wuyi Rock Tea ( Camellia sinensis) from Different Culturing Regions. Foods 2022; 11:foods11121694. [PMID: 35741892 PMCID: PMC9222269 DOI: 10.3390/foods11121694] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Revised: 05/27/2022] [Accepted: 06/06/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Rougui Wuyi Rock tea (WRT) with special flavor can be affected by multiple factors that are closely related to the culturing regions of tea plants. The present research adopted non-targeted metabolomics based on liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS), aroma activity value method (OAV), and chemometrics to analyze the characteristic metabolites of three Rougui WRTs from different culturing regions. The results of sensory evaluation showed that the three Rougui Wuyi Rock teas had significantly different flavor qualities, especially in taste and aroma. Rougui (RG) had a heavy and mellow taste, while cinnamon-like odor Rougui (GPRG) and floral and fruity odor Rougui (HGRG) had a thick, sweet, and fresh taste. The cinnamon-like odor was more obvious and persistent in GPRG than in RG and HGRG. HGRG had floral and fruity characteristics such as clean and lasting, gentle, and heavy, which was more obvious than in RG and GPRG. The results of principal component analysis (PCA) showed that there were significant metabolic differences among the three Rougui WRTs. According to the projection value of variable importance (VIP) of the partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS–DA), 24 differential non-volatile metabolites were identified. The PLSR analysis results showed that rutin, silibinin, arginine, lysine, dihydrocapsaicin, etc. may be the characteristic non-volatiles that form the different taste outlines of Rougui WRT. A total of 90 volatiles, including aldehydes, alcohols, esters, and hydrocarbons, were identified from the three flavors of Rougui WRT by using GC-MS. Based on OAV values and PLS-DA analysis, a total of 16 characteristic volatiles were identified. The PLSR analysis results showed that 1-penten-3-ol, α-pinene, 2-carene, β-Pinene, dehydrolinalool, adipaldehyde, D-limonene, saffron aldehyde, and 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one may be the characteristic volatiles that form the different aroma profile of Rougui WRT. These results provide the theoretical basis for understanding the characteristic metabolites that contribute to the distinctive flavors of Rougui WRT.

Abstract
The characteristic aroma of Chinese black tea (BT) produced in summer usually lacks intensity and persistence, reducing consumer acceptance and market demand. Strobilanthes tonkinensis Lindau (STL) possesses excellent biological characteristics, making it a promising novel tea ingredient. We investigated the effects of different addition methods and concentrations for the novel additive STL on the sensory quality of BT. A 20:1500 g/g addition to rolled tea leaves was identified as the best BT with STL (BoS) treatment. We identified 141 volatile metabolites (VMs) for the first time in STL, with high alcohol, ester, ketone, enyne, alkyne, and alkane contents. Partial least-squares discriminant analysis distinguished the samples and revealed 28, 26, and 14 differential VMs in STL vs. BoS, BT vs. STL, and BT vs. BoS comparisons, respectively. Using a combination of Venn, multiple experiment viewer, and odor activity value analysis, 16 key differential VMs were identified. Compared to BT, the 1-octen-3-ol, 1-hexanol, 1-dodecanol, (E)-3-hexen-1-ol, phenylethyl alcohol, and 2-methoxy-3-(2-methylpropyl)-pyrazine contents in BoS were 394.7%, 53.6%, 34.1%, 24.4%, 9.9%, and 5.7% higher, respectively. BoS combined the aromatic properties of BT and STL into a sweet and glutinous rice flavor. The results provide theoretical support for future research and development of novel BT-based products.

Abstract
Eurotium cristatum is the predominant fungus and key contributor to the characteristics of post-fermented Fu brick tea (FBT) during manufacturing. In this study, the influence of solid-state fermentation (SSF) with E. cristatum on the chemical profile dynamic changes of dark tea was investigated. Results indicated that total phenolics, flavonoids, theaflavins, thearubigins, and galloyl catechins consistently decreased, degalloyl catechins and gallic acid increased in the initial stage of fermentation and decreased after long-term fermentation, and theabrownins continually increased. UPLC-QQQ-MS/MS-based widely targeted metabolomic analysis revealed that the metabolites of dark tea processed by SSF with E. cristatum were drastically different from the raw material. A total of 574 differential metabolites covering 11 subclasses were detected in the whole SSF of dark tea, and the most drastic changes occurred in the middle stage. Phenolic acids and flavonoids were the two major classes of differential metabolites. A series of reactions such as degradation, glycosylation, deglycosylation, methylation, and oxidative polymerization occurred during SSF. Overall, SSF with E. cristatum greatly influenced the metabolites of dark tea, which provided valuable insights that E. cristatum is critical in forming the chemical constituents of FBT.

Abstract
Fixation is a key process contributing to different flavors of green tea and pan-fire and steam were the common fixation methods applied conventionally. In this study, pan-fired green tea (PGT) and steamed green tea (SGT) produced by different fixation methods were compared in characteristic biochemicals including volatile compounds, amino acids, catechins and alkaloids, together with evaluating their tastes and lipid-lowering effects. PGT and SGT could be distinguished clearly by orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and heatmap. SGT had higher contents of volatile alcohols (44.75%) with green and floral attributes, while PGT had higher contents of volatile esters (22.63%) with fruity and sweet attributes. Results of electronic tongue analysis showed that PGT and SGT had similar taste of strong umami and sweetness, but little astringency and bitterness. In addition, amino acids were more abundant in PGT (41.47 mg/g in PGT, 33.79 mg/g in SGT), and catechins were more abundant in SGT (111.36 mg/g in PGT, 139.68 mg/mg in SGT). Zebrafish larvae high-fat model was applied to study the lipid-lowering effects of PGT and SGT. Results showed that both SGT and PGT had lipid-lowering effects, and the lipid level was decreased to 61.11 and 54.47% at concentration of 300 mg/L compared to high-fat group, respectively. Generally, different fixation methods of pan-fire and steam showed significant effects on aroma and contents of characteristic chemical compounds (amino acids and catechins) of green tea, but no effects on the taste and lipid-lowering activity.

Abstract
Stropharia rugosoannulata is an extremely perishable edible fungi product, and drying can delay its deterioration, however, drying will affect its flavor, especially the non-volatile taste substances dominated by amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids and carbohydrates. Currently, which drying method is the most suitable for the drying of S. rugosoannulata remains unknown, we need to fully consider the economic efficiency of the method and the impact on flavor. But we have limited comprehensive knowledge of the changed non-volatile taste metabolites as caused by drying processes. Here, an LC-MS/MS-based widely targeted metabolome analysis was conducted to investigate the transformation mechanism of S. rugosoannulata non-volatile taste components after undergoing hot air drying (HAD), vacuum freeze drying (VFD), and microwave vacuum drying (MVD). A total of 826 metabolites were identified, 89 of which—48 amino acids, 25 nucleotides, 8 organic acids, and 8 carbohydrates—were related to non-volatile taste. The drying method used and the parts of S. rugosoannulata (stipe and pileus) influenced the differences found in these metabolites. The possible mechanisms responsible for such chemical alterations by different drying methods were also investigated by a Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Amino acid metabolism (alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism; arginine and proline metabolism; valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthesis) was the main metabolic pathway involved. Pathway enrichment analysis also identified differences in non-volatile taste components among three drying methods that may be closely related to the applied drying temperature. Altogether, the results indicated that as an economical and convenient drying method, HAD is conducive to improving the flavor of S. rugosoannulata and thus it harbors promising potential for practical applications.

Abstract
Rose hips are rich in various nutrients and have long been used for food and medicinal purposes. Owing to the high phenolic content, rose hips can be used as natural antioxidants. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to conduct a widely targeted metabolomics analysis on the polyphenolic components of Rosa xanthina f. spontanea in three ripening stages: unripe, half-ripe and fully ripe fruit. A total of 531 polyphenol metabolites were detected, including 220 phenolic acids, 219 flavonoids, 50 tannins and 42 lignans and coumarins. There were 160 differential metabolites between unripe and half-ripe rose hips (61 downregulated and 99 upregulated) and 157 differential metabolites between half-ripe and fully ripe rose hips (107 downregulated and 50 upregulated). The results of our study not only greatly enrich the chemical composition database of rose hips but also provide metabolomics information on the changes in polyphenolic metabolism during fruit development for the first time, which will help select the optimal harvest time of rose hips to achieve better quality.

Abstract
Round green tea (RGT) is widely distributed and presents a high yield in China. The quality of RGT can be determined by its aroma; however, the transformation and formation of volatile metabolites during RGT processing remain unclear. In this study, 173 volatile compounds (nine categories) were identified totally from RGT via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with infrared-assisted headspace-solid phase microextraction. These substances exhibited different changing trends during various procedures, with the most intense transformation occurring during fixation, followed by pan-frying and second drying; moreover, 51 substances were screened, mainly containing fatty acid-derived volatiles (i.e., (E)-2-hexen-1-ol, Hexanal, pentanal, hexanal) and glycoside-derived volatiles (i.e., linalool, geraniol, benzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde), and their evolution during processing was clarified. Furthermore, the effect of the second-drying temperature on volatile compound metabolism was clarified, and 90°C was the best temperature for RGT aroma. This research lays a foundation for in-depth quality control and the aroma formation mechanism of RGT.

Abstract
The flavor differences in Oolong tea from different producing areas are caused by its complex differential compounds. In this study, representative samples of Oolong tea from four countries were collected, and their differential nonvolatile compounds were analyzed by a combination of widely targeted metabolomics, chemometrics, and quantitative taste evaluation. A total of 801 nonvolatile compounds were detected, which could be divided into 16 categories. We found that the difference in these compounds’ content among Oolong teas from three producing areas in China was the largest. There were 370 differential compounds related to the producing areas of Oolong tea, which were mainly distributed in 67 Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic pathways. In total, 81 differential nonvolatile compounds made important contributions to the taste differences in Oolong tea from different producing areas, among which the number of flavonoids was the largest. Finally, the characteristic compounds of Oolong tea in six producing areas were screened. This study comprehensively identifies the nonvolatile compounds of Oolong tea in different producing areas for the first time, which provides a basis for the analysis of flavor characteristics, quality directional control, and the identification and protection of geographical landmark agricultural products of Oolong tea from different producing areas.

Abstract
Heterosis or hybrid vigor is extensively used in plant breeding. However, the contribution of metabolites to heterosis is still elusive. Here, we systematically identified the non-volatile and volatile metabolites of two hybrids and their parents in Camellia sinensis. The metabolomics analysis showed prevalent non-additive accumulation in hybrids, among which the non-additive nucleotides, alkaloids, organic acids, and tannins contribute to the positive heterosis of hybrids, including typical inosine, guanosine, adenosine, caffeine, succinic acid, adipic acid, xylonic acid, and gallic acid. The catechins and free amino acids in hybrids showed negative heterosis compared to its maternal cultivar TGY. Furthermore, the significant accumulation of non-additive terpenes combined with the mild heterosis of other types of volatiles contributes to the aroma of tea plant hybrids. The genetics of volatiles from different parents affect the aroma of hybrids processed into oolong tea. The comprehensive heterosis of these non-additive metabolites may play an important role in the formation of desirable breeding traits for hybrids. Our results provide insights into the utilization of heterosis breeding and the regulation of heterosis metabolites in tea plants.

Abstract
Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim. leaves (ZBLs) are rich in flavonoids and have become popular in nutrition, foods and medicine. However, the flavonoid components in ZBLs and the mechanism of flavonoid biosynthesis under drought stress have received little attention. Here, we performed an integrative analysis of the metabolome and transcriptome of ZBLs from HJ (Z. bungeanum cv. “Hanjiao”) and FJ (Z. bungeanum cv. “Fengjiao”) at four drought stages. A total of 231 individual flavonoids divided into nine classes were identified and flavones and flavonols were considered the most abundant flavonoid components in ZBLs. The total flavonoid content of ZBLs was higher in FJ; it increased in FJ under drought stress but decreased in HJ. Nine-quadrant analysis identified five and eight differentially abundant flavonoids in FJ and HJ leaves, respectively, under drought stress. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) identified nine structural genes and eight transcription factor genes involved in the regulation of flavonoid biosynthesis. Moreover, qRT-PCR results verified the accuracy of the transcriptome data and the reliability of the candidate genes. Taken together, our results reveal the flavonoid components of ZBLs and document changes in flavonoid metabolism under drought stress, providing valuable information for nutrition value and food utilization of ZBLs.

Front Nutr 2021; 8:742511.

Abstract
Cistanche deserticola is one of the most precious plants, traditionally as Chinese medicine, and has recently been used in pharmaceutical and healthy food industries. Steaming and drying are two important steps in the processing of Cistanche deserticola. Unfortunately, a comprehensive understanding of the chemical composition changes of Cistanche deserticola during thermal processing is limited. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS)-based widely targeted metabolomics analysis was used to investigate the transformation mechanism of Cistanche deserticola active compounds during steaming and drying processes. A total of 776 metabolites were identified in Cistanche deserticola during thermal processing, among which, 77 metabolites were differentially regulated (p < 0.05) wherein 39 were upregulated (UR) and 38 were downregulated (DR). Forty-seven (17 UR, 30 DR) and 30 (22 UR, 8 DR) differential metabolites were identified during steaming and drying, respectively. The most variation of the chemicals was observed during the process of steaming. Metabolic pathway analysis indicated that phenylpropanoid, flavonoid biosynthesis, and alanine metabolism were observed during steaming, while glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, thiamine metabolism, and unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis were observed during drying. The possible mechanisms of the chemical alterations during thermal processing were also provided by the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. Furthermore, the blackening of the appearance of Cistanche deserticola mainly occurred in the steaming stage rather than the drying stage, which is associated with the metabolism of the amino acids. All results indicated that the formation of active compounds during the processing of Cistanche deserticola mainly occurred in the steaming stage.

Abstract
Secondary metabolites are molecules with unlimited applications that have been gaining importance in various industries and studied from many angles. They are mainly used for their bioactive capabilities, but due to the improvement of sensibility in analytical chemistry, they are also used for authentication and as a quality control parameter for foods, further allowing to help avoid food adulteration and food fraud, as well as helping understand the nutritional value of foods. This manuscript covers the examples of secondary metabolites that have been used as qualitative and authentication molecules in foods, from production, through processing and along their shelf-life. Furthermore, perspectives of analytical chemistry and their contribution to metabolite detection and general perspectives of metabolomics are also discussed.
