A new kind of multi-component membrane was prepared by combining gelatin solution, porogen and an inclusion complex of ionic liquid (IL) and beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in a simple physical manner for selective separation of tea polyphenols (TPs) from green tea crude extracts. After screening, it was found that the resulting membrane containing the IL of dicationic N-vinylimidazole proline salt ([VIm]C[l-pro]) had the excellent performance for the enrichment of the target molecules. Then the newly-developed film was comprehensively characterized by scanning electron microscopy, conductivity, thermogravimetry and spectral analysis. Under pressure driving, the adsorption from an aqueous solution of a mixture of TPs and theophylline on IL@β-CD-Gel membrane showed that the adsorption capacity for TPs was 303.45 mg/g with removal percentages of 94.38%. The experimental data fit well with pseudo-second-order model and Freundlich model. By using this composite material, a new technology of membrane separation for selective adsorption of TPs was finally established.

Background: Oral cancer is a common head and neck cancer malignancy that seriously affects patients' quality of life and increases the health care burden. Moreover, there is a lack of comprehensive reviews of previous research on factors associated with oral cancer. The aim of the current umbrella review was to provide a comprehensive and systematic summary of relevant studies, to grade the quality of evidence of relevant studies, and to provide guidance for the prevention of oral cancer.

Tea tree oil (TTO), acquired from (Maiden & Betche) Cheel, Myrtaceae, is a widely utilized essential oil (EO) due to its bioactive properties. The identification and quantification of TTO ingredients is generally performed by GC-MS, which provides the most accurate results. However, in some instances, the cost and time of analysis may pose a challenge.

Green is no longer the only color used to describe tea leaves. As tea plants with different leaf colors-white, yellow, and purple-yield significant economic benefits, scholars are growing increasingly curious about whether these differently colored leaves possess unique aromatic characteristics. Headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with GC-MS was used to analyze the volatile metabolites of buds and leaves from 7 white-leaf tea plants, 9 yellow-leaf tea plants, 4 purple-leaf tea plants, and 7 normal (green) tea plants.

Background: Developing analytical methods for Traditional Medicine products by liquid chromatography is challenging due to their chemical complexity and the lack of analytical standards for numerous, unidentified constituents. Regulatory agencies recommend chromatographic fingerprint analysis for quality evaluation, relying on peak detection to ensure resolution. Conventional modelling struggles to optimise experimental conditions for such complex samples.

Oolong tea contains diverse isomers, such as amino acids. D-amino acids, compared with their L-enantiomers, exhibit distinct properties, influencing both the flavor and bioactivity of the tea. However, the analysis of these isomers remains challenging, especially the simultaneous determination of structural and chiral isomers.
