The present work aimed to develop a novel bioactive edible film prepared by adding quercetin-encapsulated carboxymethyl lotus root starch nanoparticles (QNPs)，gellan gum and lotus root starch. The physicochemical characteristics, preservation effect and mechanism on grapes of the prepared film were investigated. SEM results showed that QNPs (5 %) were dispersed uniformly within lotus root starch matrix, indicating the formation of a stable composite nanoparticle film.

- A novel polysaccharide (TPS3A) was extracted from Tianzhu Xianyue fried green tea and characterized; it consists mainly of sugars like arabinose, galactose, and rhamnose, with a molecular weight of 1.596 x 10³ kDa.
- Research on mice lacking ApoE showed that TPS3A could significantly slow the development of atherosclerosis, improve lipid profiles, and maintain the normal function of vascular smooth muscle cells.
- These findings suggest that TPS3A has potential as a functional food ingredient for improving cardiovascular health.
