A lexicon provides standardized vocabulary that facilitates communication among various objects. We developed a lexicon to describe the sensory flavor and aroma characteristics of fermented tea and blended tea. The 37 sensory attributes of blended tea were identified, defined, and referenced by six highly trained panelists. The lexicon included 24 flavor attributes and 13 aroma attributes. Ingredients in the blended tea included fermented tea, rose petal, lavender, hibiscus, chamomile, peppermint, lemongrass, rosemary, pandanus, and osmanthus. Most of the lexicon attributes were derived from the constituents found in the tea: brown, spicy, cooling, earthy, nutty, sweet, and bitter. Also, attributes derived from the characteristics of the ingredients were included. The lexicon developed in this study can help more accurately describe the flavors and aromas of tea containing fermented tea and herbs.

Background: The jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways are often thought to interact antagonistically in plants when mediating anti-herbivore resistance. However, we previously found that the two pathways in tea plant interact synergistically when treated with 1.5 mmol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) and 20 mmol/L SA at 12 h intervals (MeJA+SA treatment).

Background: Hyperuricemia (HUA) is a condition characterized by excessive uric acid production and/or inadequate uric acid excretion due to abnormal purine metabolism in the human body. Uric acid deposits resulting from HUA can lead to complications such as renal damage. Currently, drugs used to treat HUA lack specificity and often come with specific toxic side effects.

The use of alternative ingredients as supplements to or blends with kombucha tea to improve organoleptic properties and health effects has recently increased. Indian gooseberry fruit is among the most promising alternative raw materials for producing functional kombucha since the berries contain several beneficial substances. In this study, the production of functional kombucha beverages from fusions of black tea and Indian gooseberry fruit homogenate (IGH) was investigated, and the chemical and biological properties of kombucha products were evaluated and compared with those of traditional black tea kombucha products.

Article Synopsis
- * Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCD) decaffeination reduces the desirable floral and sweet flavors in tea, leading to a less satisfying taste.
- * Scenting DTs with fresh jasmine significantly enhances their aroma and flavor, resulting in a rich jasmine taste that can be achieved by using a full amount of jasmine flowers.
