Abstract
Rosa rugosa is extensively cultivated in China for its remarkable fragrance and flavor, however, the metabolic changes in roses during growth and drying remain unclear. Our results revealed significant variations in phenol and flavonoid contents and antioxidant capacity in roses (Rosa rugosa f. plena (Regel) Byhouwer) under different conditions. Phenol contents were positively correlated with antioxidant capacity, with phytochemicals being most prominent in unfolded petals. The highest antioxidant capacity and phenol and flavonoid contents were observed in April. Considering their greater consumption value, whole flowers were more suitable than petals alone. Furthermore, considerable sensory and nutritional differences were observed in dried roses. Different drying methods increased their total phenol content of roses by 4.2-5.4 times and the antioxidant capacity by 2.9 times. Metabolomics revealed the altered contents of flavonoids, anthocyanins, lipids, amino acids, and saccharides. This study provides baseline data for the potential of roses as a natural source of antioxidants in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

The effect of different drying temperatures on flavonoid glycosides in white tea: A targeted metabolomics, molecular docking, and simulated reaction study. Food Res Int 2024; 190:114634. [PMID: 38945623 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodres.2024.114634] [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: 04/11/2024] [Revised: 06/08/2024] [Accepted: 06/08/2024] [Indexed: 07/02/2024]
Abstract
Drying is an important stage used to improve the quality of white tea (WT). However, the effect of the drying temperature on the key taste compounds in WT remains unclear. In this study, targeted metabolomics, molecular docking, and a simulated reaction were used to investigate the transformation mechanism of flavonoid glycosides (FGs) in WT during drying at 60, 80, and 100 °C and its impact on taste. There were 45 differential FGs in WT at three drying temperatures. Compared with the withering samples for 48 h, the total FGs contents at three drying temperatures showed a decreasing trend, with quercetin-3-O-galactoside and kaempferol-3-O-glucoside showing the most degradation. These results were confirmed via a simulated drying reaction of FGs standards. Drying at 80 and 100 °C contributed to the formation of flavonoid-C-glycosides, but only trace amounts of these compounds were observed. In addition, nine key taste FGs were selected using dose-over-threshold values. These FGs regulated the taste of WT, mainly by binding to taste receptors via hydrogen bond, hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions. Finally, the taste acceptability of WT dried at 60 °C was found to be the highest, as this method could properly reduce the contents of FGs, weaken the bitterness and astringency, and retain the sweet and umami taste. This study revealed for the first time the transformation mechanism of sensory-active FGs affected by drying temperature, which provides a novel perspective for the analysis of the formation mechanism of the unique flavor of WT and the optimization of this process.

Abstract
Shaking constitutes a pivotal technique for enhancing black tea quality; nevertheless, its impact on the transformation mechanism of non-volatile metabolites (NVMs) in black tea remains obscure. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of shaking-withering methods (SWM) and traditional-withering methods (TWM) on black tea quality and NVMs conversion. A total of 57 NVMs and 14 objective quantitative indicators were obtained. SWM enhanced sweetness and umami taste, as well as appearance and liquor color brightness of black tea. Eight key differential NVMs were identified by multivariate statistical and dose over threshold value analysis. Metabolic pathway and evolution law analysis revealed that SWM enhanced the oxidation of catechins and flavonol glycosides, promoted the decarboxylation of glutamic acid, then facilitated the formation of theaflavin-3,3'-digallate, finally enhanced the taste and color quality of black tea. This study offers theoretical guidance and technical support for the targeted processing of high-quality black tea.

Abstract
This study was the first to comprehensively investigate the metabolic mechanism of flavonoid glycosides (FGs) and their contribution to flavor evolution during white tea processing using quantitative descriptive analysis, metabolomics, dose-over-threshold factors and pseudo-first-order kinetics. A total of 223 flavonoids were identified. Total FGs decreased from 7.02 mg/g to 4.35 mg/g during processing, compared to fresh leaves. A total of 86 FGs had a significant impact on the flavor evolution and 9 key flavor FGs were identified. The FG biosynthesis pathway was inhibited during withering, while the degradation pathway was enhanced. This promoted the degradation of 9 key flavor FGs following pseudo-first-order kinetics during withering. The degradation of the FGs contributed to increase the taste acceptance of white tea from -4.18 to 1.32. These results demonstrated that water loss stress during withering induces the degradation of key flavor FGs, contributing to the formation of the unique flavor of white tea.

Abstract
As the most consumed tea in the world, all kinds of black tea are developed from Wuyi black tea. In this study, quality components, regulatory gene expression, and key enzyme activity during the processing were analyzed to illustrate the taste formation of WBT. Withering mainly affected the content of amino acids, while catechins and tea pigments were most influenced by rolling and the pre-metaphase of fermentation. Notably, regulatory gene expression was significantly down-regulated after withering except for polyphenoloxidase1, polyphenoloxidase2, leucoanthocyanidin dioxygenase, chalcone isomerase, and flavonoid 3', 5'-hydroxylase. Co-expression of flavonoid pathway genes confirmed similar expression patterns of these genes in the same metabolic pathway. Interestingly, rolling and fermentation anaphase had a great effect on polyphenol oxidase, and fermentation pre-metaphase had the greatest effect on cellulase. Since gene regulation mainly occurs before picking, the influence of chemical reaction was greater during processing. It was speculated that polyphenol oxidase and cellulase, which promoted the transformation of quality components, were the key factors in the quality formation of WBT. The above results provide theoretical basis for the processing of WBT and the reference for producing high-quality black tea.

Abstract
Rolling represents an essential stage in congou black tea processing. However, the influence of rolling pressure on tea flavor and non-volatile compounds remains unclear. Herein, a combination of untargeted metabolomics, tea pigments quantification, E-tongue, colorimeter and sensory evaluation was used to evaluate the effect of rolling pressure on black tea quality. As the rolling pressure increased, theaflavins (TFs), thearubigins (TRs), and theabrownins (TBs) significantly elevated. The tea metabolic profiles fluctuated and 47 metabolites were identified as key differential metabolites including flavan-3-ols, flavonol/flavone glycosides, phenolic acids, amino acids. These substances altered possibly due to the variations in enzymatic oxidation of tea phenolics and amino acids. Overall, black tea with moderate rolling pressure presented higher sweetness, lower bitterness, and higher quality index (10 TFs + TRs)/TBs. The results were verified by a validation batch. This study provided new insights into the regulation of rolling pressure and a guidance for black tea processing.

Abstract
Persimmon leaves usually as agricultural and forestry waste were fermented by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Growth and metabolic performances of L. plantarum and S. cerevisiae, as well as the effect of fermentation on the antioxidant abilities of the extract was investigated, including the content of flavonoids, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and hydroxyl radical clearance rates. Growth of L. plantarum was limited, even though the acid production was sustainable, while S. cerevisiae was more suitable to inhabit in the persimmon leaves extract. A symbiotic relationship was observed between the two microbes, reflected in aspects of growth of S. cerevisiae, pH reduction, and ethanol production. The DPPH radical clearance rates of all groups decreased at the early period, and increased later. The co-culture group reached the second highest value of DPPH radical clearance rate only next to the single group of L. plantarum at 9 h. All groups showed an overall downward trend of the hydroxyl radical clearance rates during the 9 h-fermentation. These findings highlight the promising industrial application of fermentation of the plant-based materials with Lactiplantibacillus and Saccharomyces species to improve the biological properties.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidation is a chemical process impairing food freshness and other desirable qualities, which has become a serious problem in fruit and vegetable processing industry. It is crucial to understand the mechanisms involved in these detrimental alterations. o-Quinones are primarily generated by polyphenols with di/tri-phenolic groups through enzymatic oxidation and/or auto-oxidation. They are highly reactive species, which not only readily suffer the attack by nucleophiles but also powerfully oxidize other molecules presenting lower redox potentials via electron transfer reactions. These reactions and subsequent complicated reactions are capable of initiating quality losses in foods, such as browning, aroma loss, and nutritional decline. To attenuate these adverse influences, a variety of technologies have emerged to restrain polyphenol oxidation via governing different factors, especially polyphenol oxidases and oxygen. Despite tremendous efforts devoted, to date, the loss of food quality caused by quinones has remained a great challenge in the food processing industry. Furthermore, o-quinones are responsible for the chemopreventive effects and/or toxicity of the parent catechols on human health, the mechanisms by which are quite complex. Herein, this review focuses on the generation and reactivity of o-quinones, attempting to clarify mechanisms involved in the quality deterioration of foods and health implications for humans. Potential innovative inhibitors and technologies are also presented to intervene in o-quinone formation and subsequent reactions. In future, the feasibility of these inhibitory strategies should be evaluated, and further exploration on biological targets of o-quinones is of great necessity.

Genes cloning, sequencing and function identification of recombinant polyphenol oxidase isozymes for production of monomeric theaflavins from Camellia sinensis. Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 240:124353. [PMID: 37059281 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.124353] [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: 01/26/2023] [Revised: 03/28/2023] [Accepted: 04/03/2023] [Indexed: 04/16/2023]
Abstract
Theaflavins (TFs) are important quality compounds in black tea with a variety of biological activities. However, direct extraction of TFs from black tea is inefficient and costly. Therefore, we cloned two PPO isozymes from Huangjinya tea, termed HjyPPO1 and HjyPPO3. Both isozymes oxidized corresponding catechin substrates for the formation of four TFs (TF1, TF2A, TF2B, TF3), and the optimal catechol-type catechin to pyrogallol-type catechin oxidation rate of both isozymes was 1:2. In particular, the oxidation efficiency of HjyPPO3 was higher than that of HjyPPO1. The optimum pH and temperature of HjyPPO1 were 6.0 and 35 °C, respectively, while those of HjyPPO3 were 5.5 and 30 °C, respectively. Molecular docking simulation indicated that the unique residue of HjyPPO3 at Phe260 was more positive and formed a π-π stacked structure with His108 to stabilize the active region. In addition, the active catalytic cavity of HjyPPO3 was more conducive for substrate binding by extensive hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is a metalloenzyme with a type III copper core that is abundant in nature. As one of the most essential enzymes in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis), the further regulation of PPO is critical for enhancing defensive responses, cultivating high-quality germplasm resources of tea plants, and producing tea products that are both functional and sensory qualities. Due to their physiological and pharmacological values, the constituents from the oxidative polymerization of PPO in tea manufacturing may serve as functional foods to prevent and treat chronic non-communicable diseases. However, current knowledge of the utilization of PPO in the tea industry is only available from scattered sources, and a more comprehensive study is required to reveal the relationship between PPO and tea obviously. A more comprehensive review of the role of PPO in tea was reported for the first time, as its classification, catalytic mechanism, and utilization in modulating tea flavors, compositions, and nutrition, along with the relationships between PPO-mediated enzymatic reactions and the formation of functional constituents in tea, and the techniques for the modification and application of PPO based on modern enzymology and synthetic biology are summarized and suggested in this article.

Abstract
Highly photoluminescent N-doped carbon quantum dots (N-CDs) which the quantum yield reached 63% were prepared through hydrothermal treatment. The obtained N-CDs displayed a uniform distribution of particle size, superior stability in high-salt conditions, and excellent sensitivity. A green fluorescence probe based on N-CDs was constructed for ultrasensitive determination of myricetin in vine tea on account of the static quenching. The N-CDs presented excellent linear fluorescence response in the concentration range of 0.2-40 μM and 56-112 μM and with a low detection limit of 56 nM. Additionally, the practicability of the probe was verified in spiked vine tea sample, and the satisfactory recoveries of myricetin varied from 98.8% to 101.2%, with relative standard deviations in the range of 1.52%-3.48%. It is the first time to employ N-CDs without any material modification as a fluorescence sensor to detect myricetin, which is a promising approach to expand the path for myricetin screening.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidation during fermentation plays a critical role in the formation of flavor and function of black tea. However, how the specific structures of tea polyphenols affect their oxidation kinetics during black tea fermentation is still unknown. Here, we found that the oxidations of tea polyphenols, including 7 catechins, 4 phenolic acids and 11 flavonoid glycosides followed pseudo-first-order kinetics during fermentation. Molecular structure and oxygen concentration collaboratively regulated the oxidation rate of different polyphenols. Pyrogallol structure was more easily to be oxidized than catechol and monophenol structure in B-ring, the gallic group in C-ring could inhibit oxidation of catechins, while the role of sugar moiety of flavonoid glycosides was differentiating. In addition, oxygen was found to be the key factor limiting the oxidation rate of polyphenols in regular black tea fermentation, and the oxidation rate constants of tea polyphenols were linearly and positively correlated with oxygen concentration.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aphis gossypii Glover is the main pest found in most cucumber-producing areas. Melatonin (MT) has been widely studied in protecting plants from environmental stresses and pathogens. However, little knowledge is available on the impact of MT on insect resistance. RESULTS The fecundity of aphids on MT-treated cucumber leaves was inhibited. Interestingly, MT-treated plants were more attractive to aphids, which would prevent the large-scale transmission of viruses caused by the random movement of aphids. Meanwhile, MT caused varying degrees of change in enzyme activities related to methylesterified HG degradation, antioxidants, defense systems and membrane lipid peroxidation. Furthermore, transcriptomic analysis showed that MT induced 2360 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) compared with the control before aphid infection. These DEGs mainly were enriched in hormone signal transduction, MAPK signaling pathway, and plant-pathogen interaction, revealing that MT can help plants acquire inducible resistance and enhance plant immunity. Subsequently, 2397 DEGs were identified after aphid infection. Further analysis showed that MT-treated plants possessed stronger JA signal, reactive oxygen species stability, and the ability of flavonoid synthesis under aphid infection, while mediating plant growth and sucrose metabolism. CONCLUSION In summary, MT as an environmentally friendly substance mitigated aphid damage to cucumbers by affecting the aphids themselves and enhancing plant resistance. This will facilitate exploring sustainable MT-based strategies for cucumber aphid control. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Fixation is the key step to improve the quality of sea buckthorn leaf tea. Composition and activity are important indexes to evaluate the quality of sea buckthorn leaf tea. Comparing the effects of fixation methods on components and activities provides a theoretical basis for the contemporary, controllable, and continuous production of sea buckthorn leaf tea. The effects of six different fixed methods, pan-firing fixed (PF), steaming fixed (SF), boiling water fixed (BF), hot air fixed (HF), microwave fixed (MWF), and infrared fixed (IRF) for sea buckthorn leaf tea in terms of α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, lipase inhibitory ability, and the antioxidant capacity were studied. The total flavonoids (TF) content, total soluble phenolics (TP) content, water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content, the inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase, lipase inhibitory ability, and the antioxidant capacity of fixed sea buckthorn leaf tea were significantly higher (
) compared with sea buckthorn leaf. IRF and MWF samples had higher (
) contents of TF (92.48 mg RE/g and 79.20 mg RE/g), TP (115.37 mg GA/g and 135.18 mg GA/g) and WSC (4.24% and 4.39%). The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the SF sample was the strongest one, followed by the MWF sample and IRF sample (
). The hydroxyl radical scavenging ability and reducing power of IRF were the strongest one, followed by the MWF sample (
). The IRF sample had the strongest α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (
), and the MWF sample had the strongest lipase inhibitory ability while samples contained the same amount of total polyphenols (
). Principal component analysis results showed that the IRF sample, MWF sample, and SF sample had higher comprehensive principal component values. MWF takes less time than IRF, which operated at 2,450 MHz (full power of 700 W) for 2 min. Therefore, MWF was the most suitable fixation method for sea buckthorn leaf tea. Practical Applications. Leaf tea is the main product of sea buckthorn leaf. However, at present, the quality of sea buckthorn leaf tea in the market is uneven, the processing methods are diverse, and there is no certain quality standard. This paper provides some data support and theoretical support for the production, processing, and purchase of sea buckthorn leaf tea.

Abstract
Microbial degradation of organic compounds is an environmentally benign and energy efficient part in product processing. Fermentation of plant leaves involves enzymatic actions of many microorganisms. However, microbes and enzymes discovered from natural degradation communities were still limited by cultural methods. In this study, we used a metagenomics sequence-guided strategy to identify the microbes and enzymes involved in compound degradation and explore the potential synergy among community members in fermented tobacco leaves. The results showed that contents of protein, starch, pectin, lignin, and cellulose varied in fermented leaves from different growing sites. The different compound contents were closely related to taxonomic composition and functional profiles of foliar microbial communities. Microbial communities showed significant correlations with protein, lignin, and cellulose. Vital species for degradations of protein (Bacillus cereus and Terribacillus aidingensis), lignin (Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pantoea ananatis) and cellulose (Pseudomonas putida and Sphingomonas sp. Leaf20) were identified and relating hydrolytic enzymes were annotated. Further, twenty-two metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) were assembled from metagenomes and six potential cellulolytic genomes were used to reconstruct the cellulose-degrading process, revealing the potential metabolic cooperation related to cellulose degradation. Our work should deepen the understanding of microbial roles in plant fermentation and provide a new viewpoint for applying microbial consortia to convert plant organic components to small molecules.

Abstract
Quercetin is the most abundant polyphenolic flavonoid (flavonol subclass) in vegetal foods and medicinal plants. This dietary chemopreventive agent has drawn significant interest for its multiple beneficial health effects ("polypharmacology") largely associated with the well-documented antioxidant properties. However, controversies exist in the literature due to its dual anti-/pro-oxidant character, poor stability/bioavailability but multifaceted bioactivities, leaving much confusion as to its exact roles in vivo. Increasing evidence indicates that a prior oxidation of quercetin to generate an array of chemical diverse products with redox-active/electrophilic moieties is emerging as a new linkage to its versatile actions. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the oxidative conversion of quercetin by systematically analyzing the current quercetin-related knowledge, with a particular focus on the complete spectrum of metabolite products, the enzymes involved in the catabolism and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Herein we review and compare the oxidation pathways, protein structures and catalytic patterns of the related metalloenzymes (phenol oxidases, heme enzymes and specially quercetinases), aiming for a deeper mechanistic understanding of the unusual biotransformation behaviors of quercetin and its seemingly controversial biological functions.

Abstract
In this study, nonvolatile metabolomics and proteomics were applied to investigate the change mechanism of flavonoid glycoside compounds during withering processing of white tea. With the extension of withering time, the content of the main flavonoid glycoside compounds significantly decreased, and then the flavonoid aglycones and water-soluble saccharides contents increased. However, the change trends of these compounds were inconsistent with the expression pattern of related biosynthesis pathway proteins, indicating that the degradation of flavonoid glycosides might exist in the withering process of white tea. One co-expression network that was highly correlated with variations in the flavonoid glycosides’ component contents during the withering process was identified via WGCNA. Further analysis revealed that the degradation of flavonoid glycosides may be related to the antioxidant action of tea leaves undergoing the withering process. Our results provide a novel characterization of white tea taste formation during processing.

Abstract
Summer green tea (SGT) has poor flavor due to its high levels of bitterness and astringency. The present study aimed to improve the flavor of SGT using the yellowing process. The results showed that after the yellowing process, the sweetness and overall acceptability increased, and the content of gallated catechins and flavonol glycosides decreased by 30.2% and 27.4%, respectively, as did the bitterness and astringency of SGT. Yellowing caused a decrease in the concentration of some aroma compounds, such as (z)-3-hexen-1-ol, 1-hexanol, pentanal, heptanal and 1-octanol, which caused grassy, floral and fruity aromas. In contrast, the concentrations of 1-octen-3-ol, benzene acetaldehyde and β-ionone increased, which have mushroom and sweet aromas. Meanwhile, the sweetness and umami of SGT were enhanced by the addition of selected aroma compounds (1-octen-3-ol, benzene acetaldehyde and β-ionone), demonstrating that the yellowing process improves the flavor of SGT through odor-taste interactions.

Abstract
The seeds of Chinese horse chestnut are used as a source of starch and escin, whereas the potential use of whole plant has been ignored. The astringency and bitterness of tea produced from the leaves and flowers were found to be significantly better than those of green tea, suggesting that the enriched flavonoids maybe sensory determinates. During 47 flavonoids identified in leaves and flowers, seven flavonol glycosides in the top 10 including astragalin and isoquercitrin were significantly higher content in flowers than in leaves. The crude proteins of flowers could catalyze flavonol glucosides' formation, in which three glycosyltransferases contributed to the flavonol glucosylation were screened out by multi-dimensional integration of transcriptome, evolutionary analyses, recombinant enzymatic analysis and molecular docking. The deep exploration for flavonol profile and glycosylation provides theoretical and experimental basis for utilization of flowers and leaves of Aesculus chinensis as additives and dietary supplements.

Abstract
Although containing significant levels of phenolic compounds (PCs), leaves biomass coming from either forest, agriculture, or the processing industry are considered as waste, which upon disposal, brings in environmental issues. As the demand for PCs in functional food, pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and cosmetic sector is escalating day by day, recovering PCs from leaves biomass would solve both the waste disposal problem while ensuring a valuable "societal health" ingredient thus highly contributing to a sustainable food chain from both economic and environmental perspectives. In our search for environmentally benign, efficient, and cost-cutting techniques for the extraction of PCs, green extraction (GE) is presenting itself as the best option in modern industrial processing. This current review aims to highlight the recent progress, constraints, legislative framework, and future directions in GE and characterization of PCs from leaves, concentrating particularly on five plant species (tea, moringa, stevia, sea buckthorn, and pistacia) based on the screened journals that precisely showed improvements in extraction efficiency along with maintaining extract quality. This overview will serve researchers and relevant industries engaged in the development of suitable techniques for the extraction of PCs with increasing yield.

Abstract
Tea flavonoids are widely recognized as critical flavor contributors and crucial health-promoting bioactive compounds, and have long been the focus of research worldwide in food science. The aim of this review paper is to summarize the major progress in tea flavonoid chemistry, their dynamics of constituents and concentrations during tea processing as well as storage, and their health functions studied between 2001 and 2021. Moreover, the utilization of tea flavonoids in the human body has also been discussed for a detailed understanding of their uptake, metabolism, and interaction with the gut microbiota. Many novel tea flavonoids have been identified, including novel A- and B-ring substituted flavan-3-ol derivatives, condensed and oxidized flavan-3-ol derivatives, and glycosylated and methylated flavonoids, and are found to be closely associated with the characteristic color, flavor, and health benefits of tea. Flavoalkaloids exist widely in various teas, particularly 8-C N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted flavan-3-ols. Tea flavonoids behave significantly difference in constituents and concentrations depending on tea cultivars, plantation conditions, multiple stresses, the tea-specified manufacturing steps, and even the long-term storage period. Tea flavonoids exhibit multiple health-promoting effects, particularly their anti-inflammatory in alleviating metabolic syndromes. Interaction of tea flavonoids with the gut microbiota plays vital roles in their health function.

Abstract
Understanding nonvolatile metabolite alterations during processing and their impacts on potential function is crucial for technological innovations in tea manufacturing. In the present work, specific metabolite alterations during Zijuan black tea processing and their potential effects on nicotine-induced human oral epithelial cell (HOEC) injury were investigated. The results showed that leucine, isoleucine, and tyrosine were the main hydrolysis products during withering, and theaflavin-3-gallate (TF-3-G), theaflavin-3'-gallate (TF-3'-G) and theaflavin-3,3'-gallate (TFDG) were mainly formed during rolling. Moreover, oxidation of flavonoid glycosides, catechins and dimeric catechins took place during fermentation. During drying, amino acid conversion became dominant. Meanwhile, processing samples effectively attenuated nicotine-induced oxidative stress and inflammation in HOECs. TF-3'-G, TF-3-G, phenylalanine, and kaempferol-3-coumaroylglucoside exhibited strong associations with protective action, which indicates that modifying the processes in which black tea are produced to be rich in those specific components could be beneficial for the oral health of people who smoke.

Abstract
Tea market is currently oversupplied, and unsold tea often needs to be properly stored for a period of time. However, the chemical changes occurring in black tea during storage are limitedly understood. In this study, a comprehensive nontargeted and targeted metabolomics approach was used to investigate the dynamic changes in compounds in time-series (0-19 months)-stored black teas. The contents of flavanols, theaflavins (TFs), theasinensins, procyanidins, most phenolic acids, amino acids, quercetin-O-glycosides, and myricetin-O-glycosides decreased during storage, while the contents of N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted flavanols, flavone-C-glycosides, and most kaempferol-O-glycosides increased. More importantly, four novel compounds strongly positively correlated with storage duration (r = 0.922-0.969) were structurally assigned as N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted TFs and validated with synthetic reactions of TFs and theanine standards. The content of N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted TFs was 51.54 μg/g in black tea stored for 19 months. To the best of our knowledge, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinone-substituted TFs were discovered in tea for the first time.

Abstract
Oxygen involved fermentation is generally recognized as the critical process for the formation of quality of black tea. However, the specific role of oxygen plays in taste-related metabolites' alteration has not been illustrated clearly. In the present work, a series of fermentation systems with different oxygen concentrations were used to investigate the mechanism of the effects of oxygen on the quality and nonvolatile metabolites in black tea. The results showed that oxygen-enriched fermentation significantly improved the taste of black tea. And sixty-six metabolites, including catechins, theaflavins (TFs), proanthocyanidins, amino acids, flavonoid glycosides, and phenolic acids, were significantly different in the black teas fermented by three oxygen concentrations. Meanwhile, a 10-30% decrease in catechins, flavonoid glycosides and phenolic acids and a 5% increase in TFs, glutamate and glutamine in oxygen-enriched group, when compared to the control group, reduced astringency and bitterness and enhanced umami intensity. Furthermore, increased oxygen concentrations promoted the oxidation of catechins, flavonoid glycosides and some phenolic acids. And catechins oxidation in turn could accelerate the degradation of amino acids to form volatile aldehydes and also promote phenolic acids oxidation. Our results reveal the potential role of oxygen plays in the metabolites' alteration in black tea during fermentation, which gives a new insight into understanding the quality formation of black tea.

Abstract
Roasting process impacts the chemical profile and aroma of roasted tea. To compare the impacts of far-infrared irradiation and drum roasting treatments (light, medium and heavy degrees), the corresponding roasted teas were prepared from steamed green tea for chemical analyses and quantitative descriptive analysis on aroma, and correlations between volatiles and aroma attributes were studied. There were 8 catechins, 13 flavonol glycosides and 105 volatiles quantified. Under heavy roasting treatments, most catechins and flavonol glycosides decreased, and aldehydes, ketones, furans, pyrroles/pyrazines, and miscellaneous greatly increased, while far-infrared irradiated teas had distinct nutty aroma compared with the roasty and burnt odor of drum roasted teas. The weighted correlation network analysis result showed that 56 volatiles were closely correlated with the aroma attributes of roasted teas. This study reveals the differential chemical and sensory changes of roasted teas caused by different roasting processes, and provides a novel way for flavor chemistry study.

Abstract
This study investigated anti-polyphenol oxidase activity and mechanism of purified total flavonoids (PTF) from young loquat fruits. PTF remarkably inhibited the activity of polyphenol oxidase (PPO) with an IC50 value of 21.03 ± 2.37 μg/mL. Based on enzyme kinetics, PTF was found to be a potent, mixed-type, and reversible inhibitor of PPO. The fluorescence intensity of PPO was quenched by PTF through forming a PTF-PPO complex in a static procedure. Therefore, this study authenticated PTF as an efficient PPO inhibitor, which would contribute to their utilization in food industry.

Abstract
Purple-tea, an anthocyanin rich cultivar has recently gained popularity due to its health benefits and captivating leaf appearance. However, the sustainability of purple pigmentation and anthocyanin content during production period is hampered by seasonal variation. To understand seasonal dependent anthocyanin pigmentation in purple tea, global transcriptional and anthocyanin profiling was carried out in tea shoots with two leaves and a bud harvested during in early (reddish purple: S1_RP), main (dark gray purple: S2_GP) and backend flush (moderately olive green: S3_G) seasons. Of the three seasons, maximum accumulation of total anthocyanin content was recorded in S2_GP, while least amount was recorded during S3_G. Reference based transcriptome assembly of 412 million quality reads resulted into 71,349 non-redundant transcripts with 6081 significant differentially expressed genes. Interestingly, key DEGs involved in anthocyanin biosynthesis [PAL, 4CL, F3H, DFR and UGT/UFGT], vacuolar trafficking [ABC, MATE and GST] transcriptional regulation [MYB, NAC, bHLH, WRKY and HMG] and Abscisic acid signaling pathway [PYL and PP2C] were significantly upregulated in S2_GP. Conversely, DEGs associated with anthocyanin degradation [Prx and lac], repressor TFs and key components of auxin and ethylene signaling pathways [ARF, AUX/IAA/SAUR, ETR, ERF, EBF1/2] exhibited significant upregulation in S3_G, correlating positively with reduced anthocyanin content and purple coloration. The present study for the first-time elucidated genome-wide transcriptional insights and hypothesized the involvement of anthocyanin biosynthesis activators/repressor and anthocyanin degrading genes via peroxidases and laccases during seasonal induced leaf color transition in purple tea. Futuristically, key candidate gene(s) identified here can be used for genetic engineering and molecular breeding of seasonal independent anthocyanin-rich tea cultivars.
