AI Article Synopsis

  • Conventional microbial treatments struggle against new synthetic dyes, particularly anthraquinone dyes like reactive blue 19 (RB19).
  • Tea residue, specifically unfermented West Lake Longjing tea, has been identified as an effective activator for improving the decolorization of RB19 by a bacterial strain called DDMY2.
  • Key components in the tea residue, especially epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), were shown to significantly enhance treatment performance and influence the community structure of DDMY2, suggesting EGCG is crucial for boosting decolorization efficiency.

Article Abstract

Conventional microbial treatments are challenged by new synthetic refractory dyes. In this work, tea residue was found serving as an effective activator to boost the decolorization performance of anthraquinone dye (reactive blue 19, RB19) by a new bacterial flora DDMY2. The unfermented West Lake Longjing tea residue showed the best enhancement performance. Seventeen main kinds of components in tea residue had been selected to take separate and orthogonal experiments on decolorization of RB19 by DDMY2. Results suggested epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in tea residue played important roles in boosting the treatment performance. Illumina MiSeq sequencing results confirmed that EGCG and tea residue pose similar impact on the change of DDMY2 community structure. Some functional bacterial genera unclassified_o_Pseudomonadales, Stenotrophomonas and Bordetella were enriched during the treatment of RB19 by EGCG and tea residue. These evidences suggested EGCG might be the key active component in tea residue that responsible for the enhancement effect on decolorization performance. These results revealed the activating mechanism of tea residue from the perspective of composition.

This study aimed to determine 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ) levels in Indonesian tea products from different manufacturers and assess the AQ's associated health risks. AQ levels increased significantly during withering and drying stages, using pinewood as a heat source. Generally, black tea was highly contaminated by AQ followed by green tea, oolong tea, and white tea.

Tea polyphenols have been reported to decrease the rate of starch hydrolysis by inhibiting α-glucosidase. However, the effect of the tea harvesting season and the structure of catechin monomers on the inhibitory activity of α-glucosidase is not understood. In this study, the inhibitory effect and underlying mechanism of four seasons of Dancong tea against α-glucosidase were investigated by in vivo and in vitro experiments, multi-spectroscope and molecular dynamic.

It is of great significance to develop sensors for trace pesticide residues detection in food. Herein, an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor with high sensitivity for the detection of methyl parathion (MP) was constructed by combining of the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme-inhibited reaction with tris-2,2'-bipyridyl ruthenium Ru(bpy) -triethylamine (TEA) system for the first time. A new ECL probe of MIL-100 loaded with Ru(bpy) (Ru-MIL-100) was synthesized, and then Ru-MIL-100 and AChE were immobilized on the electrode with Nafion.

Theaflavins, oxidation product of tea polyphenols, have demonstrated significant inhibitory effects on α-glucosidase, which is beneficial in alleviating hyperglycemia. This study found that the inhibition of four monomers of theaflavins on α-glucosidase was related to the presence of the galloyl moiety (GM), with IC values ranging from TFDG (0.26 mg/mL) < TF3'G (0.
