    Abstract Tea head, a derivative product of Pu-erh tea, are tight tea lumps formed during pile-fermentation. The aim of this study was to reveal the differences of quality-related metabolites and microbial communities between ripened Pu-erh tea (PE-21) and tea heads (CT-21). Compared with PE-21, CT-21 showed a more mellow and smooth taste with slight bitterness and astringency, and can withstand multiple infusions. Metabolites analysis indicated CT-21 had more abundant water-soluble substances (47.39%) and showed significant differences with PE-21 in the main compositions of amino acids, catechins and saccharides which contributed to the viscosity of tea liquor, mellow taste and the tight tea lumps formation. Microbial communities and COG annotation analysis revealed CT-21 had lower abundance of Bacteria (84.05%), and higher abundance of Eukaryota (15.10%), carbohydrate transport and metabolism (8.28%) and glycoside hydrolases (37.36%) compared with PE-21. The different microbial communities may cause metabolites changes, forming distinct flavor of Pu-erh.

    Abstract Experimental studies on animals discovered that catechins have a notable inhibitory effect on the formation and development of tumors in different organs. Studies on their mechanism showed that catechins could inhibit cancer cell invasion and proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis and induce cancer cell apoptosis through anti-oxidation and by inhibiting related enzyme activities and cancer cell signal transmission. This essay provides an overview of correlation between tea drinking and cancer prevention, various mechanisms of catechins and their derivatives such as biochemical cancer prevention and anticancer and looks into the future of catechins.

    Abstract The properties of polyphenol oxidase (PPO, EC 1.14.18.1) from an extract of mango pulp were studied. PPO, with catechol as substrate, had an optimum pH at 7.0 and optimum temperature at 30C. PPO showed activity with dihydroxyphenols and trihydroxyphenols, but not with monohydroxyphenols. Kinetic parameters maximum velocity and Michaelis constant for PPO were 256.28 U/min and 6.30 mM with catechol, and 199.61 U/min and 47.81 mM with pyrogallol. The activity of PPO was well retained after heating the extract for 15 min at 50C, and 98% of the activity was lost after the extract was heated for 5 min at 80C. PPO was effectively inhibited by ascorbic acid as well as by β-mercaptoethanol and L-cysteine, and was enhanced by sodium dodecyl sulfate.
