To develop and utilize (FAA) tea resources, UPLC-MS/MS, HS-GC-IMS, and HS-SPME/GC×GC-TOFMS were adopted to analyze its volatile and non-volatile compounds, when harvested from March to June, in combination with its antioxidant activity. Here, 1742 volatile compounds and 8726 non-volatile compounds were identified, with 75 differential volatile metabolites and 36 key flavor compounds screened. Notably, 1-octen-3-one, (E)-2-octenal, (E)-2-undecenal, and heptanal were identified as major contributors to the sweet, fruity, green, and herbal aromas, and the concentration of them was highest in June-harvest FAA tea. Furthermore, metabolomics revealed that there were 154 non-volatile differential metabolites in FAA tea at four harvest times, which were mainly related to amino acid biosynthetic pathways. Samples harvested in June also showed the strongest antioxidant capacity, which was positively correlated with D-xylitol, L-glutamic acid, honokiol, and costunolide. These findings highlight June as the optimal harvest time, providing FAA tea with superior flavor and enhanced antioxidant properties, underscoring its potential as a valuable resource for functional food development.

Background: The levels of free amino acids (FAAs) and the timing of bud flush (TBF) are among the the most economic traits of tea plants (Camellia sinensis). Investigating the genetic variation characteristics of FAAs and their potential associations with TBF is critical for the breeding of new tea cultivars with high economic value.
Methods: In this study, we utilized the 'Emei Wenchun' (♀) × 'Chuanmu 217' (♂) filial 1 (F) genetic population (n = 208) and measured their FAA contents in the "one bud and two leaves" samples across two spring seasons and one summer season using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with the Waters AccQ-Tag method.

Worldwide, tea is a popular beverage; within the realm of Chinese tea, Sichuan tea holds particular significance for its role in the origin and composition of Chinese tea cultivars. Sichuan tea is noted for its rich content of free amino acids (FAAs) and tea polyphenols (TPs), which has made it an important subject for studying genetic diversity and the genes regulating these compounds. In this study, 139 varieties of tea were collected from areas in Sichuan Province, China, with similar geographical and climatic conditions.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a new emulsifier using soy protein-based nanoparticles (SEP) to improve the bioavailability of curcumin loaded emulsions in the digestive system.
- The nanoparticles were created through a reaction that linked carboxyl and amino groups, resulting in improved emulsifying properties and stability of the curcumin emulsions.
- SEP emulsions showed better gastric stability and higher free fatty acid release rates, leading to significantly higher bioavailability of curcumin compared to existing formulations.
