    Abstract Background: Sweet tea, which functions as tea, sugar and medicine, was listed as a new food resource in 2017. Flavonoids are the main medicinal components in sweet tea and have significant pharmacological activities. Therefore, the quality of sweet tea is related to the content of flavonoids. Flavonoid content in plants is normally determined by time-consuming and expensive chemical analyses. The aim of this study was to develop a methodology to measure three constituents of flavonoids, namely, total flavonoids, phloridin and trilobatin, in sweet tea leaves using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR).
    Results: In this study, we demonstrated that the combination of principal component analysis (PCA) and NIR spectroscopy can distinguish sweet tea from different locations. In addition, different spectral preprocessing methods are used to establish partial least squares (PLS) models between spectral information and the content of the three constituents. The best total flavonoid prediction model was obtained with NIR spectra preprocessed with Savitzky-Golay combined with second derivatives (SG + D2) (R
    Conclusions: The conclusion indicated that NIR spectroscopy has the ability to determine the flavonoid content of sweet tea quickly and conveniently.

    Abstract As a traditional Chinese medicine, Dalbergia tsoi Merr.et Chun (JZX) has been used for the treatment of wounds since ancient times. However, the active compounds and molecular mechanisms of JZX in the acceleration of wound healing are still unknown. Herein, we explored the main active compounds and key molecular mechanisms by which JZX accelerates wound healing. The ethanol extract of JZX was subjected to UPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS analysis to identify the main compounds. The pharmacological effect of JZX on wound healing was evaluated using a mouse excision wound model. Network pharmacology was utilized to predict the effective compounds and related signal transduction pathways of JZX that were involved in accelerating wound healing. The predicted key signaling pathways were then validated by immunohistochemical analysis. Interactions between the active compounds and therapeutic targets were confirmed by molecular docking analysis. JZX accelerated wound healing, improved tissue quality, and inhibited inflammation and oxidative stress. Moreover, our results suggested that the active components of JZX, such as butin, eriodyctiol, and formononetin, are the key compounds that facilitate wound treatment. Our studies also indicated that JZX accelerated wound healing by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and inducing the expression of TGF-β1, FGF2, VEGFA, ECM1, and α-SMA at different stages of skin wound healing. The JZX extract accelerates wound healing by reducing inflammation and inhibiting oxidative stress, regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, and promoting the expression of growth factors, suggesting that JZX has potential clinical applicability in wound treatment.

In addition, different spectral preprocessing methods are used to establish partial least squares (PLS) models between spectral information and the content of the three constituents. The best total flavonoid prediction model was obtained with NIR spectra preprocessed with Savitzky–Golay combined with second derivatives (SG + D2) (RP² = 0.893, and RMSEP = 0.131). For trilobatin, the model with the best performance was developed with raw NIR spectra (RP² = 0.902, and RMSEP = 2.993), and for phloridin, the best model was obtained with NIR spectra preprocessed with standard normal variate (SNV) (RP² = 0.818, and RMSEP = 1.085). The coefficients of determination for all calibration sets, validation sets and prediction sets of the best PLS models were higher than 0.967, 0.858 and 0.818, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The conclusion indicated that NIR spectroscopy has the ability to determine the flavonoid content of sweet tea quickly and conveniently.

    Abstract Sweet tea, which has hundreds of years of use among in Chinese folk, is a traditional herbal tea with pleasant sweetness, bitterness and astringency. In the current study, we used traditional microbial fermentation to improve sensory characteristics of sweet tea, especially for the reduction of bitterness and astringency. The dynamic changes of non-volatile, volatile compounds and microbial community were investigated during microbial fermentation. The contents of polyphenols, flavonoids, soluble sugar, soluble protein, catechins and dihydrochalcones decreased significantly while the tea pigments, free amino acids and gallic acid content inversely increased during microbial fermentation. A total of 61 volatile compounds were identified and quantified in sweet tea, of which 20 key compounds were identified as odor active compounds (OAV), including 3 aldehydes, 1 ketone, 4 alcohols, 9 esters, 4 alkenes and 3 other compounds. In addition, eight fungi and four bacteria were considered as core microorganisms, such as Aspergillus, Alternaria, Cladosporium, Epicoccum, Itersonilia, Penicillium, Periconia, Wallemia, Aureimonas, Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Stenotrophomonas, which were significantly correlated with non-volatile compounds and flavor compounds. These results provided theoretical guidance for processing of fermented sweet tea.

    Abstract Zenia insignis Chun is a large, fast-growing deciduous tree. In this study, we successfully developed a reliable and efficient protocol for the regeneration of fertile plants via callus induction from leaf segments of young Z. insignis seedlings. The best results were obtained with a medium containing 11.00 μM 6-benzyladenine (6-BA), 1.20 μM indole-3-butytric acid (IBA), and 0.45 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), which yielded morphogenic callus within 2 weeks at a frequency of 62.23%. We tested the effect of IBA alone and in combination with 6-BA on the bud differentiation response of Z. insignis callus. Shoots differentiated normally when cultured on differentiation medium containing 6.00 μM 6-BA and 1.20 μM IBA. Regenerated buds elongated successfully in medium containing 1.20 μM gibberellic acid (GA3). The elongated shoots were then transferred to Murashige and Skoog basal medium supplemented with various combinations of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) for root induction; well-developed roots were achieved on MS basal medium supplemented with 0.01 μM NAA at a rooting rate of 89.23%. Rooted plantlets were successfully acclimatised to a greenhouse at a survival rate exceeding 90.00%.

    Abstract Sweet tea is made from the leaves of Lithocarpus litseifolius (Hance) Chun, which is an herbal tea widely consumed in Chinese folk. In this study, five drying techniques were applied to dry sweet tea leaves, and the structural characteristics, antioxidant activities, α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and antiglycation activities of sweet tea polysaccharides (STPs) were systematically evaluated. The extraction yields of STPs ranged from 2.37 to 4.09%, and STPs prepared by hot-air drying had the highest extraction yield. The five polysaccharides exhibited the same constituent monosaccharides, similar preliminary structural characteristics, different molecular weights (Mw), and different molar ratios of constituent monosaccharides. Critically, five STPs solutions exhibited non-Newtonian behavior, and STPs obtained by hot-air drying had the highest Mw and apparent viscosity. Compared with other drying technologies, relatively high total phenolic content was measured in the STPs obtained by freeze-drying (31.32 ± 1.77 mg GAE/g) and hot-air drying (29.13 ± 1.36 mg GAE/g). Furthermore, five STPs exhibited excellent biological properties, including antioxidant activities, α-glucosidase inhibitory activities, and antiglycation activities. Ultimately, the heat map analysis found that the bioactivities of STPs were related to their high Mw and high content of total phenolic. All results suggested that STPs, especially polysaccharides prepared by hot-air drying and freeze-drying, had good development prospects and application values as functional ingredients for the antidiabetic functional food development.

    Abstract Sweet tea (Lithocarpus litseifolius [Hance] Chun) is an herbal tea with multiple health benefits due to its main bioactive compounds. In this work, the DPPH-spiking test based on high-performance liquid chromatography (DPPH-spiking HPLC) was applied to precisely screen antioxidants from sweet tea. Three main antioxidants, including isoquercitrin, phloridzin, and trilobatin, were screened out from sweet tea. Furthermore, their antioxidant capacities were verified by the DPPH radical scavenging assay, and found their antioxidant capacities in the order of isoquercitrin > trilobatin > phloridzin. Ultrasonic-assisted extraction (UAE) was applied to optimize and extract the screened antioxidants, and the optimal extraction conditions were ethanol concentration of 69.0%, sample-to-liquid ratio of 18.0 w/v, extraction time of 18.4 min, extraction temperature of 25 °C, and ultrasonic power of 450 W, yielding 17.1 ± 1.26 mg/g isoquercitrin, 34.8 ± 1.49 mg/g phloridzin, and 163 ± 1.73 mg/g trilobatin. The antioxidant capacities of the extracts based on UAE (11.5 ± 0.04 mg ascorbic acid equivalent/g DW) was much higher than the extracts based on maceration extraction (7.9 mg ± 0.02 ascorbic acid equivalent/g DW). Moreover, it was found that trilobatin, isoquercitrin, and phloridzin accounted for 30.9%, 24.9%, and 5.33% of the total antioxidant capacities of the extracts under the optimal extraction conditions, respectively. Therefore, DPPH-spiking HPLC analysis combined with UAE is an effective method for the screening and extracting of the antioxidants in sweet tea, which should have potential applications in the development of functional foods.
