Effects of coffee and tea on postprandial cardiometabolic risk factors in healthy individuals: a randomized crossover trial
CONCLUSIONS: Green tea ingestion can lower the elevation of serum TG and TC levels after high-fat or high-cholesterol diets. Our findings have far-reaching implications given the widespread use of coffee and tea and the current concern over cardiometabolic risk factors.PMID:38494692 | DOI:10.6133/apjcn.202403_33(1).0011 (Source: Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition)

Redefining the hepatoprotective potential of Javanese turmeric () Kombucha towards the diethylnitrosamine-induced hepatotoxicity of mice
Elok Zubaidah, Eirene Charista Dea, Ella Saparianti, Rhytia Ayu Christianty Putri, Hidayat Sujuti, Ignatius Srianta, Laura Godelive, Ihab Tewfik Nutrition & Food Science, Vol. ahead-of-print, No. ahead-of-print, pp.- This research intended the utilization of Javanese turmeric (0.4% w/v) as a kombucha substrate and analysis of its hepatoprotective activity, in comparison against nonfermented Javanese turmeric beverage (JTB) and black tea kombucha.Forty-two healthy male Balb/c mice (two- to three-week-old, 20–30 g) were divided into six groups with seven replicates each. The treatments were normal diet, normal diet + ...

Simple, sensitive, colorimetric detection of pyrophosphate via the analyte-triggered decomposition of metal-organic frameworks regulating their adaptive multi-color Tyndall effect
Anal Bioanal Chem. 2024 Feb 16. doi: 10.1007/s00216-024-05200-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper describes initially the application of the Tyndall effect (TE) of metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as a colorimetric signaling strategy for the sensitive detection of pyrophosphate ion (PPi). The used MOF NH2-MIL-101(Fe) was prepared with Fe3+ ions and fluorescent ligands of 2-amino terephthalic acid (NH2-BDC). The fluorescence of NH2-BDC in MOF is quenched due to the ligand-to-metal charge transfer effect, while the NH2-MIL-101(Fe) suspension shows a strong TE. In the presence of PPi analyte, the MOFs will unde...

Tea intake and lung diseases: a Mendelian randomization study
ConclusionOur MR estimates provide causal evidence of the independent effect of standard tea intake (black tea intake) on LSCC, which may be mediated by B lymphocytes. The results implied that the population preferring black tea intake should be wary of a higher risk of LSCC. (Source: Frontiers in Immunology)

Dynamic Chemistry of Tannins
Yakugaku Zasshi. 2024;144(2):183-195. doi: 10.1248/yakushi.23-00170.ABSTRACTTannins are a group of polyphenols that possess the ability to precipitate proteins, causing an undesirable astringent taste by interacting with salivary peptides. This interaction deactivates the digestive enzymes; therefore, tannins are considered as plant defense substances. The health benefits of tannins and related polyphenols in foods and beverages have been demonstrated by biological and epidemiological studies; however, their metabolism in living plants and the chemical changes observed during processing of foods and medicinal herbs raises ...
