Two nine-element sensor arrays, consisting of either three cationic poly(para-phenyleneethynylene)s (PPE) or the same PPEs complexed by cucurbituril[8] (CB[8]) at pH 3, 7, and 13 in water, discriminate 22 different teas and some of their small molecule components, including caffeine, theobromine and theophylline. Both arrays distinguish all of the black, green and oolong teas. The discrimination occurs by differential fluorescence modulation of the components of the sensor array and the treatment of the collected data by linear discriminant analysis. The signal is generated by either simple quenching (PPE only array) or the disruption of the PPE/CB[8] complex and quenching of the complex's or the PPEs' fluorescence through the polyphenolic colorants of the teas. Added amino acids, theobromine, theophylline, and caffeine give a fluorescence turn on of the PPE-CB[8] array, due to the disruption of the self-assembled complex, while for the PPE-alone tongue only caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline elicited useful fluorescence response. Both tongues discriminate different teas without any problem.

Ya'an Tibetan tea, a dark tea with a rich historical heritage, is typically processed using two primary piling fermentation methods: wet piling with rolled leaves (moisture content around 60%) and dry piling with sun-dried or baked green tea leaves (moisture content below 30%). This study employed sensory evaluation, targeted and non-targeted metabolomics, and fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequencing to investigate changes in quality components and fungal composition in Tibetan tea processed by both wet and dry-piling methods. The results revealed that 3,7-Dimethyl-1,5,7-octatriene-3-ol and D-limonene were identified as key volatile metabolites contributing to the aroma variations between the dry and wet-piled teas.

Storage duration significantly influences the aroma profile of raw Pu-erh tea. To comprehensively investigate the differences in the volatile compounds across various vintages of raw Pu-erh teas and achieve the rapid classification of tea vintages, volatile compounds of raw Pu-erh tea with different years (2020-2023) were analyzed using a combination of gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The datasets obtained from both techniques were integrated through low-level and mid-level data fusion strategies.

Southern Shaanxi is one of China's high-quality congou black tea production areas. However, the differences in geography, cultivation, and management techniques and production processes lead to uneven qualities of southern Shaanxi congou black tea in different production areas. This study used sensory analysis combined with gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) to determine southern Shaanxi congou black teas' geographical origin and volatile fingerprints to prevent economic losses caused by fraudulent labeling.

Most reported sensor arrays for teas were based on the sensing of phenolic hydroxyl group on tea polyphenols. In this work, a novel sensor array was developed based on the simultaneous sensing of phenols and ketones, for the enhanced discrimination of tea polyphenols with/without ketone, and then for the efficient discrimination of raw Pu-erh teas from different origins and the counterfeit, combined with machine learning. This sensor array is consisting of four channels.

Article Synopsis
- In Guangzhou and Guangxi, China, Abrus cantoniensis Hance (AH) is recognized for its liver-protective benefits, commonly featured in herbal products, while it is often confused with its similar counterpart, Abrus mollis Hance (AMH).
- The study aims to identify morphological differences, analyze chemical compositions, and evaluate the hepatoprotective effectiveness of AH and AMH to support their use and improve clinical safety.
- Researchers collected samples and used advanced chemical analysis techniques, revealing significant differences in morphology and identifying 50 compounds across both plants, helping to establish clear criteria for distinguishing between AH and AMH.
