Dioxin concentrations and homologue profiles were examined in plucked new shoots, crude tea and its hot water extracts, soils and atmosphere in tea orchards. The rate of dry provisions in crude tea has increased 4 times as that of the plucked new shoots. However, dioxin concentrations except O8CDD in crude tea have increased only 2 to 3 times as those of the plucked new shoots. O8CDD concentration increased remarkably during processing. Little dioxins were detected in hot water extracts of crude tea leaves.

The current study had aimed to assess the long-term dietary supplementation with Melaleucae aetheroleum, tea tree essential oil (TTO). The impact on growth performance, biochemical indices, immune function, oxidant/antioxidant activity, gene expression, histopathology, and resistance against Aeromonas sobria in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was investigated. Four groups (with five replicates; G1 (control group, G2, G3, and G4) of Nile tilapia received diets enriched with TTO (doses of 0.

The jabuticaba tree leaf, considered an agro-food by-product or waste, was evaluated as a potential unconventional ingredient of bioactive compounds. Its hydroalcoholic extracts were assessed for the phenolic chemical profile by LC-QQQ-MS and antioxidant capacity pre- and post-gastrointestinal digestion (i.e.

Dry tea residue is a byproduct generated during the production, processing, and storage of tea leaves. The active ingredients and microbial composition of dried tea residue vary depending on different tea processing techniques. This study investigated the effects of six processed dry tea residues-green tea (G), black tea (B), raw Pu'er tea (Z), white tea (W), and ripe Pu'er tea (D)-at two addition ratios (5% and 10%) on the nutritional composition, fermentation quality, fermentation, and bacterial community of sweet sorghum () in the ensiling process.

Coffee, tea and caffeinated foods are popular in the world due to their high amount of caffeine, which are consumed daily by people in large quantities, and their effects on the body, especially the liver, are somewhat unknown, so this study was done with the aim of relationship between coffee and tea consumption and dietary intake of Caffeine on the serum liver enzymes and lipid profile. In this cross-sectional study the information of 8889 participants aged 35-70 years who referred to the Rafsanjan Cohort Study (RCS), a population-based prospective cohort that is a part of the Prospective epidemiological research studies in Iran (PERSIAN), was used. Demographic characteristics, medical history, consumption of coffee and tea, caffeine intake, and laboratory tests were collected.
