We investigated the effect of green tea (GT) in unilateral chronic constriction injury (CCI) to the rat scaitic nerve. Five groups (n = 6 rats/group) sham group: rats which underwent operation but with no ligation to the scaitic nerve, and received tap water for two weeks before and for five weeks after the surgery. Four experimental groups underwent CCI to the right sciatic nerve, divided randomly as follows: group E were given tap water throughout the study. Group B received GT before and after CCI. Group C was given GT following CCI. Group D received GT for two weeks prior to CCI. Groups which consumed GT showed significant improvement in the toe spread (P < 0.001) and foot positioning (P < 0.001) tests compared to the experimental control group. In addition, these groups showed a significant decrease in the behavioral mechanical hyperalgesia (P < 0.0001) and allodynia (P < 0.0002). Consumption of GT improves both reflexes and sensation which are often affected in the course of peripheral neuropathy.

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the potential ameliorating murine reproductive effects of herbal tea extracts against bisphenol A-induced (BPA) cytotoxicity. A comparative study was applied among red, green and blue teas in mice groups. Samples were coded as RTE, GTE and BTE groups, respectively.

This paper proposes an adaptive real-time tillage depth control system for electric rotary tillers, based on Linear Active Disturbance Rejection Control (LADRC), to improve tillage depth accuracy in tea garden intercropping with soybeans. The tillage depth control system comprises a body posture sensor, a control unit, and a hybrid stepper motor, integrating sensor data to drive the motor and achieve precise depth control. Real-time displacement sensor signals are compared with target values, enabling closed-loop control of the rotary tiller.

Identifying antioxidant phenolic compounds (APs) in food plays a crucial role in understanding their biological functions and associated health benefits. Here, a bifunctional Cu-1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (Cu-BTC) nanozyme was successfully prepared. Due to the excellent laccase-like behavior of Cu-BTC, it can catalyze the oxidation of various APs to produce colored quinone imines.

Article Synopsis
- Longjing tea is notable for its rich umami flavor, but the complex chemical interactions that contribute to this taste are not fully understood.
- The study analyzed taste components in two types of Longjing tea: 'Longjing 43' (LJ43) and 'Qunti' (QT), discovering 865 water-soluble peptides in QT and 497 in LJ43, with 44 identified as contributing to umami flavor.
- Findings showed that LJ43 had higher levels of theanine and glutamine than QT, while both varieties contained similar levels of flavan-3-ols, indicating that different chemical compounds and their interactions play a critical role in defining the flavor profile of Longjing tea.

2-Phenylethanol, an aromatic alcohol with a rose scent, is widely used in the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries. We designed an efficient multi-enzyme cascade pathway for production of 2-phenylethanol from styrene as the substrate. Initially, 2-phenylethanol was produced by overexpression of styrene monooxygenase A (styA), styrene monooxygenase B (styB), styrene oxide isomerase (SOI), alcohol dehydrogenase (yahK), and glucose dehydrogenase (gdh) in Escherichia coli to give 6.
