The green tea polyphenol catechin-3-gallate (CG) and epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG) were synthesized enantioselectively via a Sharpless hydroxylation reaction followed by a diastereoselective cyclization. Their potencies to inhibit the proteasome activity were measured. The unnatural enantiomers were found to be equally potent to the natural compounds.

Kombucha fortified with Cascade hops (Humulus lupulus L.): enhanced antioxidative and sensory properties.
Appl Microbiol Biotechnol
January 2025
Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Institute of Fermentation Technology and Microbiology, Lodz University of Technology, Wolczanska 171/173, 90-530, Lodz, Poland.
In recent years, there has been a surge in the production of kombucha-a functional beverage obtained via microbial fermentation of tea. However, fresh, unpasteurized kombucha is sensitive to quality deterioration as a result of, among other factors, oxidation. The addition of hops seems to be promising, due to their antioxidative properties, which may improve the stability of kombucha.

Department of Food Process Engineering, School of Bioengineering, Faculty of Engineering and Technology, SRM Institute of Science and Technology, Kattankulathur, Chengalpattu 603203 India.
Unlabelled: Catechin hydrate (CH) is a kind of polyphenol present in many plantsincluding green tea, fruits, red wine and cocoa with very good antioxidant effect. The formulation of CH nanoemulsion increased the bioavailability and stability of catechin, allowing for easier food incorporation and faster absorption by the body. The major goal of the current study was to create a nanoemulsion as a reliable delivery mechanism for catechin hydrate and its incorporation into yogurt to increase its antioxidant activity.

School of Food and Pharmaceutical Engineering (Liupao Tea modern Industry College), Wuzhou University, Wuzhou, 543002 China.
Unlabelled: Pile fermentation plays a crucial role in the formation of the unique flavor of Liupao tea, which can effectively reduce the bitterness of the tea and promote the formation of red tea soup. In this study, the non-volatiles changes of Liupao tea during pile fermentation processing were fully analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. A total of 271 metabolites with significant differences were identified in Liupao tea during pile fermentation( < 0.
