Antioxidant activity is an important characteristic for evaluating the quality and efficacy of tea products. In order to establish an electrochemical analysis method for intelligently monitoring the changes in antioxidant activities of stored green tea products, the cyclic voltammetry technique was used to detect the electrochemical response inform...
Article
Glycine betaine (GB), a naturally occurring osmolyte, has many biological functions and is used in food supplements, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed. GB usually exists as a zwitterion in aqueous solutions. Due to the hygroscopic property of GB, protonated form of GB, GBH⁺ (noted as GBH) is often used. In order to understand the hydration structure...
Article
The classification of tea products is nowadays mainly determined by sensory assessment and chemical analysis methods. These methods are subjective, time-consuming, and laborious. In this work, a rapid analytical method for tea classification was proposed on the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and quantum chemical calculation. A tota...

The La(III) and Ce(III) complexes with mixed ligands of salicylic acid (Hsal) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), namely [La(sal)3(Phen)2] and [Ce(sal)3(phen)2], were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, thermal analysis, infrared, UV–visible and fluorescence spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure anal...

Topical minoxidil (MXD) is frequently used as therapy for alopecia. In this study, a new MXD molecular salt formed by MXD and the 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (24HA) were prepared and characterized. The nature of the MXD/24HA salt was studied using infrared spectrometry, single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Hi...
Article
The engineering of supramolecular architectures needs accurate descriptions of the intermolecular interactions in crystal structures. Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is an effective building block used in the construction of promising functional materials. The parallel packing of the neutral TTF–TTF system was studied previously using the high-level quant...

... Liu [59] prepared composite films using chia seed mucilage, chitosan, and Xanthoceras sorbifolium leaf extract (CSM/CS/X). CSM/CS/X films with good biodegradability, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities are promising for packaging applications. ...
... Therefore, the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) model is one of the most widely used neural network models for predicting food shelf life [13]. Studies on predicting the storage period of non-volatile compounds in tea have mainly focused on white tea, black tea, and dark tea [14][15][16], while research on constructing storage period discrimination models for green tea stored for one year is mainly based on electronic tongue or near-infrared hyperspectral analyses [17,18]. However, there is currently relatively little research on constructing storage period discrimination models based on the content of major non-volatile functional components in green tea during longterm storage. ...
... The applicability of these approaches to estimating the enthalpy/energy of intermolecular H-bonds is given elsewhere [30]. A detailed study of the intramolecular H-bonds [10,31] is beyond the scope of this study. ...
... Tea has attracted wide attention because of its broad development prospects and has become an important cash crop in many countries. According to the different processing technologies, tea can be divided into six categories in China, that is, black, dark, green, oolong, white, and yellow tea (Jiang & Zheng, 2022). Among them, green tea has the greatest antioxidant activity, which is closely related to the fact that green tea does not ferment and retains tea polyphenols to the maximum extent (Zhao et al., 2022). ...
... [26][27][28][29] Therefore, the antibacterial activity of many metal complexes has been demonstrated against several bacterial species both in vitro and in vivo, making it as promising antibacterial agents for use against these bacteria, pending a greater understanding of its safety upon systemic or topical administration in humans. [30][31][32][33][34][35][36] Recently, a study investigated organometallic compounds submitted to the Community for Open Antimicrobial Drug Discovery (CO-ADD) databank, established a classication based on the nature of their metal element, activity, as well as toxicity. 37 Metalcontaining compounds show actually a signicantly higher success rate (9.9%) compared to purely organic molecules (0.87%). ...
... The analysis shows that the nitrogen atoms in the MAT structure form hydrogen bonds with the oxygen atoms on the carboxyl groups of the three acids. In accordance with the position of the hydrogen atoms in the crystal [30] the hydrogen atoms on the carboxyl group in the three SF structures are transferred to the N 2A of the MAT molecule, indicating that proton transfer occurs between API and SF, and the three obtained solids are salts. The characteristics and differences of hydrogen bond modes in the three kinds of salt crystal structures were analyzed by graph set analysis. ...
... The relatively weak interaction in the CSM/CS film again highlights the importance of the quercetin molecule in the assembly of the CSM/CS/X film. To visually depict the type and region of noncovalent interactions (Kang et al., 2023), independent gradient model (IGM) (Lefebvre et al., 2017) and electrostatic potential (ESP) (Liu Jiang & Zheng, 2023a;Zheng et al., 2021) analyses were done using geometries after 200 ns simulation. The structures without water molecules were optimized using the tight-binding quantum chemical method GFN2-xTB (Bannwarth, Ehlert, & Grimme, 2019). ...
