Chemical constituents of green teas processed from albino tea cultivars with white and yellow shoots.

ABSTRACT: Green tea processed from albino tea varieties often has umami taste and fresh aroma. This study identified green teas made from two types of albino tea cultivar, one having the white shoots (called Naibai, NB) and the other having the yellow shoots (called Huangjinya, HJY). Taste compounds analyses showed that galloylated catechins were highly concentrated in HJY green teas, whereas non-galloylated catechins and amino acids were more abundant in NB green teas. CsTA (involved in the catabolism of galloylated catechins) showed high expression in HJY tea shoots, resulting in gallic acid as a precursor for β-glucogallin biosynthesis being abundant in HJY. CsPDX2.1 (responsible for theanine hydrolyzation) had a lower expression level in NB than HJY shoots. Fatty acid-derived volatiles (FADVs), glycosidically bound volatiles (GBVs) and carotenoid-derived volatiles (CDVs) were highly concentrated in HJY green teas, whereas amino acids-derived volatiles were highly concentrated in NB green teas.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Green tea has various health promotion effects. Although there are numerous tea cultivars, little is known about the differences in their nutraceutical properties. Metabolic profiling techniques can provide information on the relationship between the metabolome and factors such as phenotype or quality. Here, we performed metabolomic analyses to explore the relationship between the metabolome and health-promoting attributes (bioactivity) of diverse Japanese green tea cultivars. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: We investigated the ability of leaf extracts from 43 Japanese green tea cultivars to inhibit thrombin-induced phosphorylation of myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). This thrombin-induced phosphorylation is a potential hallmark of vascular endothelial dysfunction. Among the tested cultivars, Cha Chuukanbohon Nou-6 (Nou-6) and Sunrouge (SR) strongly inhibited MRLC phosphorylation. To evaluate the bioactivity of green tea cultivars using a metabolomics approach, the metabolite profiles of all tea extracts were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Multivariate statistical analyses, principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), revealed differences among green tea cultivars with respect to their ability to inhibit MRLC phosphorylation. In the SR cultivar, polyphenols were associated with its unique metabolic profile and its bioactivity. In addition, using partial least-squares (PLS) regression analysis, we succeeded in constructing a reliable bioactivity-prediction model to predict the inhibitory effect of tea cultivars based on their metabolome. This model was based on certain identified metabolites that were associated with bioactivity. When added to an extract from the non-bioactive cultivar Yabukita, several metabolites enriched in SR were able to transform the extract into a bioactive extract. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Our findings suggest that metabolic profiling is a useful approach for nutraceutical evaluation of the health promotion effects of diverse tea cultivars. This may propose a novel strategy for functional food design.
