The Fujian and Yunnan provinces in China are the most representative origins of white tea. However, the key differences in the chemical constituents of the two white teas have rarely been revealed. In this study, a comprehensive comparison of the aroma profiles, chiral volatiles, and glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) in Fujian and Yunnan white teas was performed, and 174 volatiles and 28 enantiomers, including 22 volatiles and six GBVs, were identified. Linalool, linalyl-β-primeveroside (LinPrim), and α-terpineol presented the opposite dominant configurations in Fujian and Yunnan white teas, and the chiral GBVs were firstly quantified with significant differences in the contents of R-LinPrim and β-d-glucopyranosides of (2R, 5R)-linalool oxide A and (2R, 5S)-linalool oxide B. Moreover, discrimination functions for Fujian and Yunnan white teas were created using nine key variables with excellent reliability and efficiency. These results provide a new method for objectively distinguishing authentic white teas according to geographical origin.

The levels of flavor compounds and hazardous compounds are important indicators for evaluating high-temperature roasted food. In this paper, the effect of tea pre-marination on non-volatile compounds, volatile compounds, and hazardous compounds in roasted chicken. The results showed that the total content of key umami non-volatile compounds in roasted chicken marinated with green tea, white tea, and black tea increased by 17.

To safeguard the legal rights of tea enterprises and promote sustainable development in the tea industry, this study proposes a rapid, non-destructive method for authenticating white tea vintages based on the hypothesis that the appearance, taste and aroma cannot be simultaneously replicated in counterfeit teas. Using visible-near infrared hyperspectral imaging, this three-in-one appearance-taste-aroma method was applied to Bai Mudan white tea, produced from the Jinggu Dabai Tea cultivar harvested in 2020, 2021 and 2022. Hyperspectral imaging captured appearance data from dry samples of different vintages, with preprocessing using multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and standard normal variate (SNV).

The human intestinal tract plays a pivotal role in safeguarding the body against noxious substances and microbial pathogens by functioning as a barrier. This barrier function is achieved through the combined action of physical, chemical, microbial, and immune components. Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the most widely consumed beverage in the world, and it is consumed and appreciated in a multitude of regions across the globe.

Objective: Although research has demonstrated the long-term health consequences of childhood adversities, less is known about the long-term impact of positive childhood experiences, such as parental affection.
Method: Using longitudinal data (1995-2014) from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, we analyze structural equation models estimating direct and indirect pathways from early-life parental affection to changes in later-life cognitive function through relationship quality in adulthood among Black and White older adults ( = 1983).
Results: Analyses revealed significant indirect effects of parental affection on better cognitive function through higher levels of social support (both average social support and family social support) in adulthood in the full sample and among Black respondents.

Tea, one of the world's most consumed beverages, has a rich variety of sensory qualities such as appearance, aroma, mouthfeel and flavor. This review paper summarizes the chemical and volatile compositions and sensory qualities of different tea infusions including black, green, oolong, dark, yellow, and white teas based on published data over the past 4 years (between 2021 and 2024), largely focusing on the methodologies. This review highlights the relationships among the different processing methods of tea and their resulting chemical and sensory profiles.
