Theabrownins (TBs) in dark tea have received increasing attention for their multiple health benefits. In this study, ultrasound assisted extraction with deep eutectic solvent (UAE-DES) was developed for the extraction of TBs from Kangzhuan dark tea (KZDT). The highest yield (12.59%) of TBs was obtained using UAE-choline (ChCl)/malic acid (MA) with a liquid to solid ratio of 20:1 (v/w), ultrasonic power of 577 W, ultrasonic time of 25 min, and water content of 30%. TBs were further eluded by silica gel to obtain six theabrownine fractions (TBFs), namely, TBFs1, TBFs2, TBFs3, TBFs4, TBFs5, and TBFs6. LC-MS/MS revealed that flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids, alkaloids, lipids, and amino acids are the leading components of TBFs. The TBFs4, with the DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP values of 45.08 ± 0.42 μM Ascorbic acid/g DW, 178.52 ± 0.29 μM Trolox/g DW, and 370.85 ± 6.00 μM Fe(II)/g DW, respectively, showed the highest antioxidant activity among all the TBFs. Overall, this study first provided the evidence that UAE-ChCl/MA combining with silica gel was effective to extract TBs from KZDT, and the 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin-6-glucoside and neohesperidin were found as the leading compounds in the TBFs, providing a guidance for the chemical research and further utilization of dark tea and its TBs.

Besides classic illegal drugs, numerous designer drugs, also called new psychoactive substances (NPSs), are available on the global drug market. One of the biggest and fastest-growing substance classes comprises the synthetic cannabinoids. According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), 254 out of 950 monitored substances belong to this group of NPS, with 9 new cannabinoids registered for the first time in 2023.

A simple, tailor-made, novel chemosensor based on 1,10-phenanthroline Schiff base incorporating N, N-Diethylamino salicylaldehyde (1) was designed and synthesized. The sensing ability of chemosensor 1 was tested via colorimetric, UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. Chemosensor 1 could effectively and specifically detect diethylchlorophosphate (DCP) in acetonitrile displaying naked eye colour change from pale yellow to dark yellow while fluorogenic colour changes from blue to pink fluorescence (365 nm UV lamp irradiation).

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on three coffee estates in New South Wales, aiming to enhance the flavor profiles of Australian coffee through different processing methods (wet fermented and non-fermented).
- Researchers analyzed 33 volatile compounds in both green and roasted coffee beans, identifying various esters, alcohols, acids, and more, while also assessing sensory characteristics like appearance and flavor.
- Findings indicated that wet fermentation improved certain desirable aromas and flavors in coffee, particularly enhancing notes associated with premium coffees, such as "black tea leaves" and "dark chocolate."
