Non-invasive anticipation of infusion taste in fine-manipulated green teas through hyperspectral appearance analysis guided by ECG content. Food Chem 2024; 458:140254. [PMID: 38954958 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.140254] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2024] [Revised: 06/02/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
The high catechin content in summer-to-autumn tea leaves often results in strong, unpleasant tastes, leading to significant resource waste and economic losses due to lignification of unpicked leaves. This study aims to improve the taste quality of summer-to-autumn green teas by combining fine manipulation techniques with hyperspectral observation. Fine manipulation notably enhanced infusion taste quality, particularly in astringency and its aftertaste (aftertasteA). Using Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis (PLSDA) on hyperspectral data, 100% prediction accuracy was achieved for dry tea appearance in the near-infrared spectrum. Astringency and aftertasteA correlated with hyperspectral data, allowing precise estimation with over 90% accuracy in both visible and near-infrared spectrums. Epicatechin gallate (ECG) emerged as a key taste compound, enabling non-invasive taste prediction. Practical applications in processing and quality control are demonstrated by the derived equations (Astringency = -0.88 × ECG + 45.401, AftertasteA = -0.353 × ECG + 18.609), highlighting ECG's role in shaping green tea taste profiles.

Combinative effect of pulsed-light irradiation and solid-state fermentation on ginkgolic acids, ginkgols, ginkgolides, bilobalide, flavonoids, product quality and sensory assessment of Ginkgo biloba dark tea. Food Chem 2024; 456:139979. [PMID: 38852441 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139979] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Revised: 06/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Pulsed light (PL) is a prospective non-thermal technology that can improve the degradation of ginkgolic acid (GA) and retain the main bioactive compounds in Ginkgo biloba leaves (GBL). However, only using PL hasn't yet achieved the ideal effect of reducing GA. Fermentation of GBL to make ginkgo dark tea (GDT) could decrease GA. Because different microbial strains are used for fermentation, their metabolites and product quality might differ. However, there is no research on the combinative effect of PL irradiation fixation and microbial strain fermentation on main bioactive compounds and sensory assessment of GDT. In this research, first, Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were selected as fermentation strains that can reduce GA from the five microbial strains. Next, the fresh GBL was irradiated by PL for 200 s (fluences of 0.52 J/cm2), followed by B. subtilis, S. cerevisiae, or natural fermentation to make GDT. The results showed that compared with the control (unirradiated and unfermented GBL) and the only PL irradiated GBL, the GA in GDT using PL + B. subtilis fermentation was the lowest, decreasing by 29.74%; PL + natural fermentation reduced by 24.53%. The total flavonoid content increased by 14.64% in GDT using PL + B. subtilis fermentation, whose phenolic and antioxidant levels also increased significantly. Sensory evaluation showed that the color, aroma, and taste of the tea infusion of PL + B. subtilis fermentation had the highest scores. In conclusion, the combined PL irradiation and solid-state fermentation using B. subtilis can effectively reduce GA and increase the main bioactive compounds, thus providing a new technological approach for GDT with lower GA.

Abstract
This study investigated the transformation of polyphenols, including free and bound polyphenols during the fermentation of wolfberry juice by Lactobacillus plantarum NCU137. Results indicated that fermentation significantly increased the free polyphenols content and released bound polyphenols, enhancing the antioxidant activity. Analysis showed that there were 19 free polyphenols, mainly scopoletin, pyrogallol, and dihydroferulic acid, and 16 bound polyphenols, especially p-coumaric acid, feruloyl hexoside, and caffeic acid. A significant correlation was observed between the generation and degradation of polyphenols, and specific bound polyphenols peaked during the 24-48 h fermentation. Furthermore, reduced surface roughness and galacturonic acid content in wolfberry residue, along with increased pectinase activity, suggested substantial pectin degradation in the cell wall, which may be associated with the release of polyphenols, due to pectin serving as carriers for bound polyphenols. The fermentation also increased polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase activity, contributing to polyphenol breakdown. These findings provide insights for improving wolfberry juice production.

Abstract
The reduced antioxidant capacity of trans-resveratrol (Res) than the second generation of Res, namely pterostilbene (Pte), severely prohibits its in-depth intriguing radical-scavenging applications in food formulations. Herein, a unique chemical structure-dependent strategy was proposed to specifically enhance the radical scavenging activity of Res over Pte, relying on the two more hydroxyl groups on the A-benzene ring of Res, thus facilitating its binding with lactoferrin (LF) to form stable complexes through more hydrogen bonds. We prepared LF-Res and LF-Pte complexes, revealed their binding mechanisms by multispectral analysis and molecular docking/dynamics simulations, further evaluated their antioxidant properties via ABTS and DPPH assays and a model of inhibiting apple browning, eventually elucidated their structure-binding-property relationships. This contribution offers a new approach to restore the antioxidant capability of Res, also paves the way to precisely regulate the fascinating bioactivities of hydrophobic compounds by protein-binding in a chemical structure-, especially hydroxyl group-dependent manner.

Abstract
The synthesis of a hapten and antigen for the preparation of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) for buprofezin is described. The recognition mechanism of hapten and buprofezin by monoclonal antibodies (mAb-19F2) is described. The effectiveness of the mAb-19F2 immunoassay technique was assessed, and the effective detection of buprofezin in tea samples was achieved through the establishment of indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA) and colloidal gold immunochromatography assay (GICA). The mAb-19F2 subtype was IgG1, with an IC50 of 1.8 ng/mL and a linear range (IC20-IC80) of 0.6-5.4 μg/L, and had a cross-reaction rate of less than 0.18% with 29 other pesticides (neonicotinoids and insect growth regulators). The study identified π-π stacking interactions between hapten and TYR-61 at the mAb-19F2 site and alkyl/phosphate interactions with TRP-105 and ARG-103. The ic-ELISA had an IC50 of 12.9 ng/mL in green tea and 5.65 ng/mL in black tea, with a recovery rate of 92.4%-101.0% and RSD of 2.1%-4.8%. The GICA had a limit of detection (LOD) was 500 ng/mL, with the complete disappearance of the test lines visible to the naked eye. The limit of quantitation (LOQ, IC20) was determined to be 16.8 ng/mL. Additionally, the developed GICA showed no cross-reactivity with neonicotinoid pesticides. The recovery rate of tea spiked recovered samples was 83.6%-92.2%, with an RSD of 5.3%-12.6%, and the results were consistent with the LC/MS method. This study is important for the real-time detection of buprofezin residues to ensure food safety and human health.

Abstract
Anneslea fragrans Wall. (AF) is an important medicinal and edible plant in China. The principal objectives of this study are to explore the hepatoprotective effect of ethanol-aqueous (AFE) and hot-water (AFW) extracts in vitro and in vivo. UPLC-ESI-MS/MS analysis showed that AFW and AFE are rich in dihydrochalcones. Both AFW and AFE significantly up-regulated the expressions of SOD, CAT and GSH, reduced the MDA content in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced HepG2 cells, and suppressed the expressions of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in LPS-induced RAW246.7 cells. In APAP-induced mice, AFW and AFE administration significantly decreased the plasma levels of AST and ALT, and improved liver tissue damage, the collagen deposition and fibrosis formation. Moreover, AFW and AFE decreased the MDA and ROS accumulations via activating Nrf2 pathway to increase the hepatic GSH contents and activities of SOD, CAT, HO-1, and NQO-1, reduced the levels of NO, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 by suppressing the JNK/p38/ERK/NF-κB pathways, and alleviated apoptosis via regulating Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3/9 protein expressions. This study provides a new sight that AFW and AFE may have a potential natural resource for the treatment of liver injury.

Abstract
Coffee waste is often viewed as a problem, but it can be converted into value-added products if managed with clean technologies and long-term waste management strategies. Several compounds, including lipids, lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses, tannins, antioxidants, caffeine, polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoids, and biofuel can be extracted or produced through recycling, recovery, or energy valorization. In this review, we will discuss the potential uses of by-products generated from the waste derived from coffee production, including coffee leaves and flowers from cultivation; coffee pulps, husks, and silverskin from coffee processing; and spent coffee grounds (SCGs) from post-consumption. The full utilization of these coffee by-products can be achieved by establishing suitable infrastructure and building networks between scientists, business organizations, and policymakers, thus reducing the economic and environmental burdens of coffee processing in a sustainable manner.

Abstract
Roasting is a critical process that affects the quality attributes of coffee beans; however, how roasting conditions affect the physical, chemical, biological, and organoleptic changes of coffee pulp needs more research. In the present study, we investigated the effects of roasting temperatures and times on chemical compositions and quality attributes of coffee pulp. The results showed that the contents of total soluble sugar (TSS) and free amino acid (FAA) followed a temporal pattern of first increasing and then decreasing under the roasting temperatures between 100 and 160°C. Total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity of coffee pulp significantly (p < 0.05) increased after roasting, reaching the maximum values of 83.09 mg gallic acid equivalent (GAE) /g and 360.45 µM 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylic acid (Trolox) /g, respectively, when coffee pulp was roasted at 160°C for 18 min. Drying rates of coffee pulp fitted the Logarithmic kinetic model, while color (L*, a*, and b*) changes and 5-caffeoylquinic acid degradation followed the first-order kinetic model. Electronic nose analysis showed that the main aroma compounds of the coffee pulp are sulfur-containing organics that were reduced with the extended roasting time. Scanning electronic microscopy analysis presented the loosened, shrunk, and cracked microstructure on the surface of the roasted coffee pulp, which might contribute to the increased TSS, FAA, TPC, and antioxidant activity of coffee pulp roasted under specific conditions. In conclusion, our research provides valuable information for preparing high-quality coffee pulp tea. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: This article investigates the effects of roasting on the chemical composition, color, flavor, microstructure, and the kinetics of changes in the moisture, color, and 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) of the coffee pulp. We have found that high-temperature and short-time roasting helps retain the total phenolic contents, antioxidant activity, and aroma. The drying kinetic fits the Logarithmic model, and the changes in color and 5-CQA fit the first-order kinetic model. This study provides meaningful information for preparing coffee pulp tea with high-quality attributes and antioxidant activity.

Abstract
Herbal tea has numerous biological activities and exhibits broad benefits for human health. In China, the flower buds of Lyonia ovalifolia are traditionally processed as herbal tea, namely White Que Zui tea (WQT). This study was aimed to evaluate the effect of ultra-high hydrostatic pressure (UHHP) pretreatment on the chemical constituents and biological activities of free, esterified, and insoluble-bound phenolic fractions from WQT. A total of 327 chemical constituents were identified by a quasi-targeted metabolomics analysis. UHHP pretreatment extremely inhibited reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and cell apoptosis in H2O2-induced HepG2 cells, and it increased the activities of intracellular antioxidant enzymes (SOD and CAT) and GSH content in different phenolic fractions from WQT. In addition, after UHHP pretreatment, the anti-inflammatory effects of different phenolic fractions from WQT were improved by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide (NO) and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β) in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Thus, the UHHP method might be a potential pretreatment strategy for improving the bioavailability of phytochemicals from natural plants.

[PMID: 36533940 DOI: 10.1111/1750-3841.16431] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 12/01/2022] [Accepted: 12/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Drying is a key step that affects the chemical composition and quality of tea. In the present study, we reported the impacts of drying temperature and time on drying and color change kinetics, phytochemical composition, antioxidant activity, and surface microstructure of coffee leaves during hot-air drying. The results showed that drying temperature was positively (p < 0.05) correlated with the drying rate (DR), color index a* and total color change ΔE, and total soluble sugar (TSS), while negatively correlated with color indexes b* and L*, soluble protein content, and the DPPH scavenging capacity. Drying time has similar impacts on the color indexes and soluble protein as drying temperature. The content of total free amino acid and TSS increased by 62.5% and 47.4%, respectively, when coffee leaves were dried at 160°C for 24 min, under which the total phenolic content and DPPH and ABTS scavenging capacities reached the maximum of 108.04 mg GAE/g, 515.07 µmol Trolox/g, and 606.70 µmol Trolox/g, respectively. Drying significantly decreased the contents of chlorogenic acids and mangiferin and antioxidant activity, while high-temperature short-time drying helped retain phenolic compounds in coffee leaves. The DR fitted Page kinetic model. The color changes fitted the first-order kinetic models and the activation energies ranged from 16.00 to 31.06 kJ·mol-1 . Prolonged drying time caused serious wrinkles on the surface of coffee leaves and the stomata closed. PRACTICAL APPLICATION: Drying decreased soluble protein while increasing free amino acid and soluble sugar. High-temperature short-time drying helps retain phenolics in the coffee leaves. The color change of coffee leaves during drying follows first-order kinetic. Prolonged drying time resulted in loosened texture of coffee leaves. Our study suggested that drying coffee leaves at 160°C for 24 min results in the coffee leaf tea being of better quality.

Abstract
Neohesperidin (hesperetin 7-O-neohesperidoside), a well-known flavanone glycoside widely found in citrus fruits, exhibits a variety of biological activities, with potential applications ranging from food ingredients to therapeutics. The purpose of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive overview of the chemical, biosynthesis, and pharmacokinetics profiles of neohesperidin, as well as the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of neohesperidin against potential diseases. This literature review covers a wide range of pharmacological responses elicited by Neohesperidin, including neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, antimicrobial, and anticancer activities, with a focus on the mechanisms of those pharmacological responses. Additionally, the mechanistic pathways underlying the compound's osteoporosis, antiulcer, cardioprotective, and hepatoprotective effects have been outlined. This review includes detailed illustrations of the biosynthesis, biopharmacokinetics, toxicology, and controlled release of neohesperidine. Neohesperidin demonstrated a broad range of therapeutic and biological activities in the treatment of a variety of complex disorders, including neurodegenerative, hepato-cardiac, cancer, diabetes, obesity, infectious, allergic, and inflammatory diseases. Neohesperidin is a promising therapeutic candidate for the management of various etiologically complex diseases. However, further in vivo and in vitro studies on mechanistic potential are required before clinical trials to confirm the safety, bioavailability, and toxicity profiles of neohesperidin.

Abstract
Theabrownins (TBs) in dark tea have received increasing attention for their multiple health benefits. In this study, ultrasound assisted extraction with deep eutectic solvent (UAE-DES) was developed for the extraction of TBs from Kangzhuan dark tea (KZDT). The highest yield (12.59%) of TBs was obtained using UAE-choline (ChCl)/malic acid (MA) with a liquid to solid ratio of 20:1 (v/w), ultrasonic power of 577 W, ultrasonic time of 25 min, and water content of 30%. TBs were further eluded by silica gel to obtain six theabrownine fractions (TBFs), namely, TBFs1, TBFs2, TBFs3, TBFs4, TBFs5, and TBFs6. LC-MS/MS revealed that flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids, alkaloids, lipids, and amino acids are the leading components of TBFs. The TBFs4, with the DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP values of 45.08 ± 0.42 μM Ascorbic acid/g DW, 178.52 ± 0.29 μM Trolox/g DW, and 370.85 ± 6.00 μM Fe(II)/g DW, respectively, showed the highest antioxidant activity among all the TBFs. Overall, this study first provided the evidence that UAE-ChCl/MA combining with silica gel was effective to extract TBs from KZDT, and the 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin-6-glucoside and neohesperidin were found as the leading compounds in the TBFs, providing a guidance for the chemical research and further utilization of dark tea and its TBs. Yield of TBs of 12.59% from KZDT was achieved by UAE-ChCl/MA. Silica gel powder with methanol (100%–0%) as a mobile phase was used for TBs separation. The chemical component of TBFs was revealed. Flavonoids are among the leading compounds in the TBFs. TBFs4 displayed the highest in vitro antioxidant activity.

Anti-inflammatory activity of flavonols via inhibiting MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways in RAW264.7 macrophages. Curr Res Food Sci 2022; 5:1176-1184. [PMID: 35941847 PMCID: PMC9356238 DOI: 10.1016/j.crfs.2022.07.007] [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: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/13/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Fisetin (Fis), quercetin (Que), and myricetin (Myr) are flavonols with similar structure but different number of hydroxyl groups. The present research focused on the anti-inflammatory effect of these three flavonols in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. The number and site of hydroxyl group in flavonols obviously affected their anti-inflammation activity. These flavonols suppressed the overproduction of nitric oxide. Fis showed the best activity with an inhibition rate of 52% at 20 μM. Moreover, the flavonols reduced the levels of ROS, TNF-α, and IL-6. The mechanistic study showed that they inhibited the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways by suppressing the phosphorylation of IκBα, p65, JNK, ERK, p38, MEK, and reducing the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65. In addition, the metabolism of the flavonols was examined. The results indicated that Fis was both methylated and glucuronidated. Que and Myr were mainly transformed into methylated products. This study highlights the anti-inflammatory activity of flavonols, particularly Fis, which has the potential for the prevention or treatment of inflammation as an adjuvant medicine or food additive. Flavonols suppressed the production of NO and ROS. Flavonols partially blocked the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Fisetin is an excellent anti-inflammatory reagent. The number of hydroxyl group in flavonols obviously affects their anti-inflammation activity.
