This study deals with the development of a separation and quantification method by high performance liquid chromatography with a diode array detector (HPLC- DAD), for the determination of phenolic acids and methylxanthines in tea (Camellia Sinensis) samples. Six phenolic acids (Gallic, trans-cinnamic, caffeic, ferulic and p-coumaric acids) and two methylxanthines (caffeine, theobromine) were studied, according to the principles of green chemistry, with the goal of comparing teas with different processing level. After development and validation of separation and extraction methods was applied to 11 extracts obtained by infusions of green and black tea samples in commercial areas of the city of Salvador-BA, showing feasible and efficient. Was employed multivariate data analysis and the Tukey test to correlate the chromatographic profile with the different samples. Principal component and analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis were used for the chromatographic analysis, allowing the visualization of two groups, formed by green and black tea samples.

Tea () is widely cultivated throughout the world for its unique flavor and health benefits. Galloylated catechins in tea plants serve as important secondary metabolites that play a pivotal role in tea taste determination and pharmacological effects. However, the genetic basis of galloylated catechins traits remains elusive.

This study focused on the identification and functional analysis of the F-box-LRR (FBXL) protein family in tea tree (Camellia sinensis), aiming to reveal its role in spring bud germination and environmental adaptation. Thirty-seven members of the tea tree F-box-LRR gene family were identified and systematically analyzed for their chromosomal localization, gene structure, conserved motifs, and cis-acting elements by bioinformatics methods. It was found that these genes were distributed on 14 chromosomes, with strong conserved and inter-gene covariance characteristics.

Background: Amino acids, as the main flavor substances of umami in tea, are also the primary components determining the taste of tea, which is positively correlated with the quality and grade of tea. The Guizhou Plateau is located in the core area of the origin of the tea plant and has abundant tea germplasm. However, there are relatively few studies using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to mine genes related to amino acid content in tea plants in the Guizhou Plateau.

Obesity has become a significant global health concern. Green tea is widely consumed as an internationally popular beverage and it is recognized that various green teas have unique biological activities. Here, the effects of Anji white tea (a green tea) on lipid metabolism in high-fat-diet (HFD)-fed mice were investigated based on multi-omics.
