Due to the massive environmental pollution caused by synthetic plastic packaging accumulation and contemporary necessities of food packaging materials, the biodegradable and multifunctional bionanocomposite films based on potato starch (PS) incorporating tea polyphenol (TP) and MgO nanoparticles (MgO-NPs) were successfully fabricated by the solution casting method, and their physical and functional properties and application in fruits preservation were systematically investigated. Incorporation of TP and MgO-NPs improved the films' tensile strength, UV light-blocking, hydrophobicity and thermal stability, and decreased their moisture content (from 14.02 % to 11.21 %), water solubility (from 19.57 % to 16.56 %), and water vapor permeability (from 17.32 to 9.07 × 10 −11 g∙m −1 ∙s −1 ∙Pa −1 ). Moreover, the PS/TP/MgO-NPs films exhibited strong antioxidant activity, and remarkable antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with the diameter of inhibition zone of 25.60 mm and 27.50 mm, respectively. SEM, ATR-FTIR and XRD analyses indicated the TP and MgO-NPs were dispersed homogeneously in the PS matrix, and identified the molecular interactions of hydrogen bond, hydrophobic interaction and electrostatic attraction. Biodegradability assessment showed that all the films were rapidly decomposed within ~20 days under simulated environmental conditions. Compared to control, the PS/TP/MgO-NPs film-forming solution coatings were capable of maintaining fruit quality by reducing the change in weight loss, firmness and total soluble solids. Overall, these results suggested that the multifunctional bionanocomposite films could be a potential approach for developing sustainable active food packaging.

With the growing concern on environment protection, fast and selective detection of various harmful gases with the sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) has stimulated increasing interest. However, the unsatisfied gas sensing performance of pure MOS hinders its practical application. In this paper, we propose a Bi 2 O 3 -ZnO heterojunction strategy to upgrade the performance of ZnO sensor to realize ultrafast detection of triethylamine (TEA) with high sensitivity and selectivity. To expound it, nanoscale Bi 2 O 3 -ZnO p-n heterojunctions were uniformly modified on the ZnO porous nanosheets-assembled architecture (PNSA) via an impregnation, freeze-drying and calcination method by using self-made Zn 5 (CO 3 ) 2 (OH) 6 as precursor. The obtained Bi 2 O 3 /ZnO PNSAs are about 7 µm in size, in which the thickness of porous nanosheets is around 25–38 nm. Impressively, compared with the sensor based on pure ZnO PNSA, the Bi 2 O 3 /ZnO PNSA sensor exhibited remarkably boosted triethylamine (TEA) sensitive performances, especially of faster response speed (<1 s for 100 ppm TEA), better selectivity (S TEA/toluene = 406.013) and higher sensitivity (26.886/ppm for 1–100 ppm TEA). The sensitization mechanisms of Bi 2 O 3 -ZnO heterojunction on ZnO PNSAs was discussed in detail.

This paper presents a facile approach to develop palygorskite (Pal), a fibrous clay mineral, as a delivery system of tea tree oil (TTO) for topical acne therapy. The obtained TTO-Pal composite showed an efficient loading of TTO (27.4%) with a selective accumulation of terpine-4-ol and 1,8-cineole (two major antimicrobial TTO constituents), sustained release of TTO at skin physiological conditions (pH5.4, 32 °C) and superior skin sebum (2.2 g/g) absorbability. In vitro toxicological assessments showed that the Pal incorporation strategy significantly reduced the acute contact toxicity of TTO. The antimicrobial results revealed a preferable bacteriostatic effect for the TTO-Pal system towards opportunistic dermal pathogens ( Escherichia coli , Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes ) over the beneficial bacterium ( Staphylococcus epidermis ). Moreover, TTO-Pal based formulations exhibited pronounced clinical therapeutic efficacy in treating facial acne by rapidly reducing inflamed lesions, modulating skin sebum overproduction and restoring barrier function. This is the first report of using fibrous clay as a biocompatible nanocarrier system for topical delivery of essential oils in efficient management of facial acne with both in vitro and in vivo evidences, which may open perspectives for fibrous clay-drug delivery system in topical application and expand the high added value development of this mineral resource in the advanced healthcare fields.

Withering is a key process that affects the aroma of Keemun black tea (KBT). In this study, the aroma composition of KBT through natural withering, sun withering, and warm-air withering was analysed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. The results revealed significant differences in the three samples. Gas chromatography–olfactometry and aroma extract dilution analysis were performed with screening through a relative odour activity value (rOAV) > 1. In total, 11 aroma-active compounds (geraniol, ( Z )-4-heptenal, 1-octen-3-ol, ( E )- β -ionone, 3-methylbutanal, linalool, β -damascenone, ( E , E )-2,4-decadienal, methional, ( E , E )-2,4-nonadienal, and ( E )-2-nonenal) were found to be responsible for the differences in aroma caused by different withering methods. Linalool (rOAV, 161) and geraniol (rOAV, 785) were responsible for the higher flowery and fruity aromas when sun withering was applied, whereas methional (rOAV, 124) contributed to the intense roasty aroma when warm-air withering was employed. Moreover, our results were verified by quantitative descriptive analysis and addition experiments.

This study investigated the effects of different tea polyphenol (TP) treatments (control, unmarinated, and marinated) on scallop adductor muscle lipid oxidation during hot air drying. Results showed that the marinated sample had the lowest peroxide value, thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, polyunsaturated fatty acids loss, free radical level, and lipoxygenase activity during drying, indicating that the marination process maximized the antioxidant effects of TP. These results were achieved by the distributing of TP on lipid oxidation site, effectively intercepting free radical chain reaction and inhibiting lipoxygenase activity. The significant loss of total phenolic content in the marinated sample confirmed this result. The control, unmarinated, and marinated sample lost 26.52%, 9.99%, and 6.46% of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid during drying, respectively, indicating that the marination more efficiently maintained its high nutritive value in terms of lipid. This study provided a more effective way of using TP to control lipid oxidation in seafood during drying. Novelty impact statement Marinated with TP improved its antioxidant effect during scallop drying. More than 26% of EPA + DHA lost in scallop adductor muscle, while less than 7% of EPA + DHA lost in marinated scallop adductor muscle during drying. Marinated with TP maintained the higher nutritive value of scallop during drying.

In this study, the changes of structure and bioactivity of polysaccharides from large leaf yellow tea (LYTP) were investigated under ultra-high pressure (UHP). Native yellow tea polysaccharide were treatmented with ultra-high pressure (200, 400 and 600 MPa) for 5 min to yield yellow tea polysaccharide including 200 MPa-LYTP, 400 MPa-LYTP and 600 MPa-LYTP. It was found that the monosaccharide composition of LYTP changed significantly after the ultra-high pressure treatment. The molecular weight (Mw) of 200 MPa-LYTP (from 563.6 to 11.7 kDa), 400 MPa-LYTP (from 372.2 to 11.8 kDa) and 600 MPa-LYTP (from 344 to 11.6 kDa) sharply decreased upon ultra-high pressure treatment compared with LYTP (771.5 kDa), coincidentally particle size was also significantly reduced for 200 MPa-LYTP (23.2 %), 400 MPa-LYTP (40.2 %) and 600 MPa-LYTP (25.9 %). The results of the scanning electron microscope showed that ultra-high pressure also changed the surface and spatial morphology of LYTP. LYTP after ultra-high pressure treatment (UHP-LYTP) could further ameliorate alcohol-induced liver injury in mice. In addition, UHP treatment can more efficiently remove protein than the Sevages method. With the gradual removal of protein, its hepatoprotective effect increased. These findings demonstrated that UHP treatment could change the primary structure and spatial structure of LYTP, increase the content of acidic polysaccharides, and improve its bioactivity.

Summary This study aimed to elucidate the information mechanism of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in sturgeon fillets, and its inhibition by polyphenol. The results revealed that LTVH fillets (processed using low temperature vacuum heating method, LTVH) did not have lower values of AGEs than those treated using TC method (a typical thermal procedure using boiling water at 100 °C). The addition of tea polyphenol, on the other hand, drastically reduced the AGEs levels in LTVH fillets. An in vitro model including sturgeon myofibrillar protein and glucose was employed in this work to evaluate the inhibition of AGEs by tea polyphenol. The results showed that free Arginine was susceptible to interaction with glucose, which caused the development of AGEs. However, the addition of tea polyphenol competed with glucose for binding to free Arginine, leading to a substantial decrease in free Arginine concentration and an increase of free amino loss rate, resulting in the inhibition of AGEs generation. The LTVH technique, in combination with tea polyphenol, can be used to prevent the production of AGEs on fillets during the thermal treatment.

UiO-66-NH 2 nanocomposite was post-modified with 4-mercaptophenylboronic acid (MPBA) by the method of in situ hybridization reaction. The hybrid boronate affinity material UiO-NH 2 @P (TEPIC-co-MPBA) was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The material was applied as fluorescent probe for the detection of cis -diol containing compounds based on the boronate affinity mechanism, and exhibited high specific selectively. The proposed method exhibited good linearity for the detection of catechol in the range of 0.50 to 8.00 μg ml −1 . The detection limit was 0.13 μg ml −1 . The tactic was successfully applied to analyze the total polyphenols in tea beverages for catechol, and relative recovery was in 98.86–106.00%. Therefore, this work provided a promising strategy for the recognition of cis -diol containing compounds.

N,O-Heterocycles play an important role in the characteristic flavor of green tea owing to their strong odors and low odor thresholds. In this study, a rapid and sensitive method was developed to determine seven N,O -heterocycles in green tea by using headspace solid-phase microextraction Arrow (HS-SPME-Arrow) coupled with gas chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry. The HS-SPME-Arrow extraction was performed using a Carbon WR SPME Arrow fiber. Good linear ranges (5–1000 ng/mL) were obtained, with correlation coefficients (R 2 ) higher than 0.99 for all target compounds. LODs and LOQs were in the range of 0.44–5.12 and 1.48–17.04 μg/kg, respectively. The recoveries of seven N,O -heterocycles were found to vary from 83.1% to 117.3%, with RSDs being lower than 10%. The dynamic changes of N,O -heterocycles during the drying process revealed that 25- and 40-min-long drying processes were key transition points. Furfural could be used as a key indicator compound for evaluating the extent of the drying. Moreover, furfural and 2-methylfuran revealed a significant positive correlation with proline ( p < 0.05). The possible formation mechanisms of N,O -heterocycles were further elaborated by simulated Maillard reactions . Our results provide a theoretical foundation for the improvement and directional regulation of aroma quality of green tea during manufacturing.

A turn-on fluorescent sensing platform based on an ultralow concentration of Al-metal organic frameworks for the detection of aflatoxin B 1 has been developed for the first time. This fluorescence turn-on sensor exhibits the largest fluorescence enhancement (or quenching) constant value of 179404 M −1 among all luminescence-based chemical sensors reported till date. Moreover, the sensor afforded a rapid detection of aflatoxin B 1 , with a linear response in the concentration range of 0.05–9.61 μM and a low detection limit of 11.67 ppb. Additionally, the fabricated sensor showed good repeatability, reproducibility, stability, and selectivity. Most importantly, the practical application of this sensor has been demonstrated by detecting aflatoxin B 1 in complex tea samples with low relative standard deviation (≤7.72%; n = 3) and satisfactory recoveries. In summary, the proposed method has great potential as a simple, sensitive and selective strategy for monitoring aflatoxin B 1 in food samples.

Scope Vine tea ( Ampelopsis grossedentata ), a traditional Chinese tea, has displayed various biological activities. The authors aim to investigate the effect of Vine Tea ( Ampelopsis grossedentata ) extract (VTE) on carbon tetrachlorid (CCl 4 )induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice and to explore the underlying role of gut microbiota during the treatment. Methods and Results C57BL/6J mice injected with CCl 4 are treated with VTE for 6 weeks. By using H&E staining, immunofluorescence staining, quantitative real-time (qRT)-PCR, and western blot, it is shown that VTE treatment significantly ameliorates hepatocyte necrosis, alleviates the mRNA levels of toll-like receptor 4 ( Tlr4) , interleukin (Il)-6 , inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) , acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (Acc1) , and increases the mRNA levels of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (Ppar-γ) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (Hmg-coar) compared to the CCl 4 group. Also, VTE abrogates the decreased mRNA expressions of zonula occludens-1 (Zo-1) , Occludin , and Mucin1 in colon tissues. Using microbial 16S rDNA sequencing, VTE treatment significantly downregulates the abundances of some harmful intestinal bacteria like Helicobacter and Oscillibacter . In contrast, VTE upregulates the contents of several beneficial bacteria, such as Ruminococcaceae_UCG-014 and Eubacterium_fissicatena_group . Further, VTE fails to improve ALI in the mice with gut microbiota depletion using antibiotic treatment. Conclusions The studies suggest that VTE exhibits a protective effect against CCl 4 -induced ALI in mice by alleviating hepatic inflammation, suppressing intestinal epithelial barrier injury, and restoring gut microbiota dysbiosis.

Tea polyphenols were used as substrates and oxidized successively by polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase to prepare theabrownins (TBs-dE). The conversion rate of catechins to TBs-dE was 90.91%. The ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopic properties and zeta potential of TBs-dE were characterized. TBs-dE is more stable at pH 5.0–7.0, about 25 °C or in dark environment. Ultraviolet light and sunlight can deepen its color due to the further oxidative polymerization. Mg 2+ , Cu 2+ , and Al 3+ had a significant effect on the stability of TBs-dE. The inhibitory rates of TBs-dE (1 mg/mL) against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli DH5α were 51.45% and 45.05%, respectively. After TBs-dE treatment, the cell morphology of both bacteria changed, some cell walls were blurred, and the cytoplasmic content leaked. The research results can provide theoretical support for the industrialization of theabrownins.
