Highly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with vitamin E (VE) as an antioxidant is widely used for joint implants. VE helps resist oxidation but raises concerns about reduced crosslink density and wear performance. This research hypothesized that tea polyphenols (tPPs), such as lipid-soluble epigallocatechin gallate (lsEGCG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), could prevent the usual decrease in crosslink density caused by VE, thereby enhancing wear performance. The antioxidants were blended with UHMWPE at 0.2 wt% and surface chemically crosslinked using di-cumyl peroxide. The surface properties, including crosslink density, roughness, coefficient of friction, and wear performance, were evaluated in detail. The results showed that lsEGCG and EGCG blended UHMWPE had significantly higher crosslink density compared to VE stabilized UHMWPE, which was 17% lower than virgin UHMWPE. The coefficient of friction increased after crosslinking and was higher in tPPs blended UHMWPE, indicating a highly crosslinked network structure. The wear resistance of surface crosslinked tPPs stabilized UHMWPE was significantly higher than VE-stabilized UHMWPE. Additionally, a substantial number of scratches, furrows, and flakes were observed on the surface of VE-stabilized UHMWPE compared to tPPs stabilized UHMWPE. It was concluded that tPPs are promising alternatives to VE for improving the performance and longevity of UHMWPE-based implants.

Mulberry leaf tea is favored for flavor and health benefits. However, the market products sometimes exhibit astringency, insufficient aroma, and low nutritional content due to limitations in fermentation conditions. The study investigated the effects of electron beam irradiation (EBI) on the chemical composition, sensory quality, and aroma of fermented mulberry leaf tea. Different doses of EBI were applied, and the microstructure was observed using SEM and TEM. Results showed a dose-dependent increase in Eurotium cristatum , with a significant rise at 1.2 kGy. Sensory evaluation revealed that 1.2 kGy irradiation improved color, aroma, and taste, with the highest score (8.81) in this group. Analysis of aroma compounds identified 277 upregulated compounds in the irradiated group, enhancing sweet, fruity, and mushroom flavors. 1-octen-3-ol was the main contributor to the aroma. In conclusion, EBI at 1.2 kGy effectively improved mulberry leaf tea quality, demonstrating its potential as a novel processing technology.

Floral–fruity aroma Pu-erh tea (FFAPET) is highly valued by consumers for its distinctive and appealing fragrance. This study conducted a comprehensive investigation into the volatile components of FFAPET using advanced analytical techniques, including GC-O-MS, GC-MS/MS, aroma recombination, and omission tests. Compared with traditional stale aroma Pu-erh tea, FFAPET exhibited higher levels of alcohols and alkenes. Through GC-O-MS combined with OAV analysis, 10 key active-aroma compounds were identified in representative FFAPET samples. These compounds included (E, E)-2,4-heptadienal, phenylethyl alcohol, geraniol, (E,Z)-2,6-nonadienal, (Z)-4-heptenal, 2-phenethyl acetate, 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone,D-limonene,β-ionone, and linalool, all of which made significant contributions to the development of the characteristic floral–fruity aroma profile. Tests involving aroma recombination and omission further confirmed that seven of these odorants played essential roles in defining the overall aroma of FFAPET. These findings offer valuable theoretical insights for the enhancement and regulation of Pu-erh tea flavor, particularly for the optimization of the floral–fruity aroma characteristics.

Tea quality in greenhouse was certain gap with open air. Metabolites and foliar microorganisms were investigated under seaweed fertiliser (CF) and gibberellin (CH) treatments using sensory evaluation, HPLC, untargeted metabolomics, 16S rDNA, and Internal Transcribed Spacer. CF tea was mellow, less astringent, and of better quality compared to CH. Catechin, −(−)Epicatechin, and Epigallocatechin were notably lower in CF. Differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) were notably enriched in Flavonoid and Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, both involved in Catechin synthesis. DAMs in these pathways appeared down-regulated in CF. The CF improved quality by down-regulating metabolites in Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in conjunction with microbial community metabolism enriched in amino acid and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Metabolite- microbial correlation analysis indicated that the highest correlation with phenylpropane pathway metabolites was in bacteria Variovorax and Pseudomonas , and in fungi Filobasidium . The study provides theoretical basis for regulating flavour quality of greenhouse tea.

Preparing wound dressing with dual-delivery of antioxidant and antibacterial agents is highly desirable in clinical wound treatment. Herein, a series of coaxial nanofiber membranes loaded with antioxidant tea polyphenols (TP) in the core and antibacterial ε-poly (L-lysine) (ε-PL) in the shell layer were successfully fabricated by coaxial electrospinning. The physicochemical characterizations by transmission electron microscopy , inverted fluorescence microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy confirmed the formation of core-shell structure. The results of in vitro drug release indicated that ε-PL exhibited a fast release profile while TP released in a sustained manner, which is favorable to the achievement of quick bacteria inhibition in the initial phase as well as long-term antioxidant activity during wound healing. The antioxidant activity of coaxial nanofibers was found to be increased with the increment of TP content and incubation time . The antibacterial assays against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus demonstrated that the incorporation of ε-PL in the coaxial nanofibers led to strong antibacterial activity . Additionally, all the coaxial nanofibers possessed good cytocompatibility. Therefore, the prepared coaxial nanofibers simultaneously incorporated with ε-PL and TP are promising as potential wound dressing materials.

Herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) play an important role in insect resistance. As a common HIPV in tea plants (Camellia sinensis), β-ocimene has shown anti-insect function in other plants. However, whether β-ocimene in tea plants also provides insect resistance, and its mechanism of synthesis and emission are unknown. In this study, β-ocimene was confirmed to interfere with tea geometrid growth via signaling. Light was identified as the key factor controlling regular emission of β-ocimene induced by the wounding from tea geometrids. β-Ocimene synthase (CsBOS1) was located in plastids and catalyzed β-ocimene formation in overexpressed tobacco. CsBOS1 expression in tea leaves attacked by tea geometrids showed a day-low and night-high variation pattern, while CsABCG expression involved in volatile emission showed the opposite pattern. These two genes might regulate the regular β-ocimene emission from tea plants induced by tea geometrid attack. This study advances the understanding on HIPV emission and signaling in tea plants.

Background and aims Metal species in rhizosphere soil profoundly influence their mobility and phytoavailability. Clarifying the speciation transformation of heavy metals helps understand their translocation and accumulation in plants. Methods Single extraction, selective sequential extraction (SSE) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy were employed to investigate the speciation transformation of lead (Pb) and its influence on metal accumulation in tea plants after the addition of tea polyphenols (TPs). Results Pb content was decreased in young leaves and stems, whereas increased in roots, after TPs were amended to soil. Both SSE and XANES analysis suggested bioavailable Pb was transformed to organically bound Pb after the addition of TPs. The increased percentage of organically bound Pb might be fixed in the cell wall of plant root through a ternary complex formed between the Pb-organic matter complex and cell wall components. Therefore, Pb translocation from roots to young tissues was decreased. Conclusions Pb phytoavailability change was driven by its speciation transformation after the addition of TPs. Combined SSE and XANES spectroscopy represent powerful tools to study metal speciation transformation in plant and soil systems.

Thermophilic bacteria play an important role in aroma formation during pile-fermentation process of dark tea. With the aim to reveal the impact of thermophilic bacteria on volatile compounds in dark tea, Bacillus licheniformis (thermophilic bacteria) were inoculated into sun-dried green tea for spontaneous fermentation. In this study, headspace solid phase microextraction combined to gas chromatography mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC-MS), odor activity value (OAV), principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares discrimination analysis (OPLS-DA) were employed to investigated the characteristics of volatile compounds during thermophilic bacteria pile-fermentation. According to HS-SPME-GC-MS, a total of 64 volatile compounds were identified. PCA revealed that tea samples could be clearly discriminated from each other. Furthermore, sulcatone, hexanoic acid, linalool, 2-methyl-trans-decalin, myrtenal, and α-ionone were found to play an important role in discrimination of tea samples, based on OPLS-DA. In addition, the OAV could effectively characterize the aroma contribution of volatile compounds during thermophilic bacteria pile-fermentation, and (Z)-linalool oxide (furanoid), α-ionone, (E)-2-nonenal, and linalool were the critical volatile compounds of aroma quality in dark tea. This study provides insight into volatile compounds characteristics during thermophilic bacteria pile-fermentation in dark tea.

A novel magnetic metal organic framework composite (Fe 3 O 4 @MOF-808) was synthesized by a facile solvothermal method and applied as an adsorbent for the magnetic solid phase extraction (MSPE) of benzoylurea insecticides (BUs) from tea beverages and juice samples. The prepared materials were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry measurements and N 2 adsorption-desorption experiments. The adsorption (adsorbent amount, extraction time and pH) and elution (elution solvent, elution volume and time) parameters were investigated in detail. Under the optimized experimental conditions, Fe 3 O 4 @MOF-808 exhibited simpler and better reusability than commercial C 18 , with an equivalent adsorption effect. Notably, π-π interactions, hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions contributed to the good adsorption of BUs by Fe 3 O 4 @MOF-808. Finally, a simple and sensitive method was established using Fe 3 O 4 @MOF-808-based MSPE coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It provided low limits of detection (0.04–0.15 ng/mL), wide linear ranges (0.15–50 ng/mL) and satisfactory recoveries (84.6–98.3%). The proposed method was successfully applied for the fast and sensitive determination of BUs in tea beverages and juice samples.

Pyrethroids (PYs) have been widely used to control pests and prevent diseases in tea gardens. However, with the increasingly stringent pesticide testing standards in the import and export trade of tea, there is an urgent need for methods to detect trace amounts of PYs in tea. In this study, a covalent organic framework (COF) material TpBD with excellent thermal/chemical stability, high porosity, and a large specific surface area was prepared by a room-temperature solution-suspension approach (SSA). TpBD-coated solid phase microextraction (SPME) fibers were fabricated by coating the material on etched stainless-steel fibers by a simple physical coating method. The fibers were used in combination with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) to establish a highly sensitive method for the detection of PYs. The enrichment factors of this method for cyfluthrin, cypermethrin, flucythrinate, fenvalerate, and deltamethrin were 702-2687. The method showed low LODs (0.1-0.5 ng/L), wide linear ranges (0.2-800 ng/L), good linearities (correlation coefficients ( R )≥0.9991) and acceptable repeatabilities (RSD≤11.0%, n =3). Green tea and oolong tea samples were analyzed using the developed method, and trace levels of the five PYs were successfully detected. The recoveries of the spiked PYs in the real green tea and oolong tea samples were in the range of 80.2%-109.5%. Experimental results showed that the established analytical method is suitable for the determination of PY pesticides in tea. Furthermore, the TpBD material was successfully prepared by the SSA method, demonstrating that the method has good universality and excellent potential for the simple synthesis of other COF materials.

A novel method, termed ionic liquid-based hollow fibre liquid phase microextraction (IL-HF-PLME), coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed for separation and preconcentration of three phthalate esters (PAEs) in tea beverage . In the present study, ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methy-limidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm]PF 6 ) was placed in the porous-walled polypropylene hollow fibre as the acceptor phase, and nonanol was used as the supported liquid membrane phase that accomplished extraction. Several important parameters influencing the extraction efficiency were investigated in detail. Under the optimized conditions, good linearity occurred in the range of 5–1000 ng mL −1 with the correlation coefficients values above 0.998. The limits of detection ranged from 0.67 to 1.73 ng mL −1 . Recoveries of three PAEs in two kinds of spiked tea beverage samples (PAEs, 10.0–100.0 ng mL) were between 94.2 and 103.4%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 1.77 to 3.02%. The enrichment factors were 200. The developed IL-HF-PLME method allowed the simple, rapid, and sensitive determination of phthalate esters in tea beverage samples with an extraction time of just 4 min.

Iron-based catalysts (GFe0.5) were successfully prepared from tea polyphenols (TP) and ferric trichloride and used as a heterogeneous Fenton-like catalyst for the degradation of lincomycin (LCM). The results showed that a GFe0.5 dosage of 0.01 g/L could completely degrade a 20 mg/L concentration of LCM in 90 min, and assessment of the toxicity to luminous bacteria showed that the GFe0.5/H 2 O 2 system effectively reduced the toxicity risk posed by this pollutant. The results of transmission electron microscopy , X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and other characterisations showed that the synthetic material had a triangular structure similar to that of nonacarbonyldiiron, with Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ and organic groups attached to the triangular structure's surface. That is, the present environment-friendly synthesis produces an Fe-based material resembling a mixture of nonacarbonyldiiron and ferrous chloride. Free-radical capture and electron spin resonance experiments confirmed that ·OH was the main active free radical in the degradation mechanism of the iron-based material. Cyclic experiments, inductively coupled plasma and XRD characterisation of the materials after the reaction showed that the loss of free iron was the main reason for the decrease of activity. The free iron in the Fe-based material becomes bound during the reaction, which effectively avoids the excessive consumption of Fe 2+ in the prophase of the Fenton-like reaction, and is the key to both the efficient Fenton-like catalytic ability of GFe0.5, and to preventing the production of iron sludge .
