[Method] With tobacco variety KRK 26 as test materials, the test involved parameters of three curing-techniques in down, middle and upper parts of flue-cured tobaccos in an oven to measure chemical components and aromatic substances in tobaccos. [Result] The effects of curing techniques on total sugar and reducing sug- ar differed upon temperature and humidity. The contents of chemical components, such as total alkaloid, total N and the ratio of sugar/ alkali by moderate temperature and high humidity technique were of significant differences with those by moderate temperature and moderate humidity technique and with low temperature and low hu- midity technique; the chemical components by moderate temperature and moderate humidity were of insignificant differences with the treatment by low temperature and low humidity technique. Total amount of aroma components by different curing tech- niques from high to low was the treatment by low temperature and low humidity technique （461.72 μg/g）, the treatment by moderate temperature and moderate hu- midity technique （450.06μg/g） and the treatment by moderate temperature and high humidity technique （385.12μg/g）, suggesting the content of aromatic substances is high at low temperature and low humidity. [Conclusion] Moderate temperature and high humidity curing technique has significant effects on total alkaloid, total N and the ratio of sugar/ alkali of tobaccos and different curing techniques also affect the total amount of aromatic substances of flue-cured tobaccos.展开更多

The correlation between main meteorological factors and conventional chemical components of tobacco leaves was as follows： contents of reducing sugar and total sugar increased with the increase of rainfall and relative humidity, and decreased with the increase of sunshine duration; nicotine content increased with the increase of accumulated temperature and sunshine duration; total nitrogen （N） content increased with the increase of daily mean temperature and accumulated temperature; sugar-alkali ratio increased with the increase of rainfall. Path analysis showed that the direct effect of sunshine duration on reducing sugar and total sugar of tobacco leaves was faint, but the indirect effect was obvious; meanwhile, the direct and indirect effects of it on nicotine and total N were the greatest.展开更多

The results showed that the amounts of tea cream in the green tea infusions obtained from different cultivars and different parts of new shoots were varied. There were many chemical components participating in the formation of green tea cream. However, there were only the contents of caffeine （Y=0.85, P〈0.01） and polyphenols （Y=0.65, P〈0.05） in the original green tea infusion highly correlated with the amount of green tea cream. Stepwise regression analysis of overall chemical components indicated that the contents of caffeine and gallated catechins in the original green tea infusion had a significant effect （P〈0.01） on green tea cream levels. Cream （g L-1）=-172.071＋ 0.129×Ccaffeine＋0.024×Ggallated catechins （R2=0.936）. The amount of green tea cream can be predicted by the contents of gallated catechins and caffeine in the original tea infusion. Principal component analysis also indicated that catechins, minerals, and polysaccharides were the important chemical components in the formation of green tea cream.展开更多

Leaf samples were taken from different tobacco-producing regions in Henan Province, China. The results indicated that the content of total phenols increased during the first 24 h of curing, and then decreased. It reached the lowest value at 72 h of curing and increased rapidly after that. The content of chlorogenic acid also increased during 0-24 h of curing. But the lowest point occurred at 60 or 72 h of curing and then it increased till the end of the curing process. The content of mtin generally increased with curing, and showed little fluctuations. The changes of PPO and POD activity were the opposite. Rutin was found to have a highly significant positive correlation with total sugar （r=0.822^＊＊）, but a highly significant negative correlation with starch, nicotine, and protein.展开更多

The results showed that 4-5 weeks after transplanting was the main changing period of agronomic traits. Compared with the comparative heterosis, among the proportions of combinations showing positive comparative heterosis at the significant level, the heterosis proportions of plant height （97.92%）, internode length （100%） and stem girth （58.33%） were larger, these of total nitrogen （83.33%）, protein （79.17%）, nicotine （79.17%） and potassium （95.83%） in upper leaves were larger, these of total sugar （64.58%）, total nitrogen （68.75%）, protein （72.92%） and nicotine （64.58%） in middle leaves were larger, and in lower leaves, except that the proportion of chlorine was smaller （12.50%）, the proportions of other chemical components all exceeded 40%. Compared with average heterosis, among the proportions of combinations showing positive comparative heterosis at the significant level, the heterosis proportions of plant height （54.17%）, leaf width （43.75%）, stem girth （43.75%） and internode length （72.92%） were larger, these of total sugar （47.92%） and reducing sugar （54.17%） in upper leaves were larger, these of all the chemical components in middle leaves exceeded 30%, and these of all the chemical components in lower leaves were in the range of 27.08%-41.67%. Compared with heterobeltiosis, among the proportions of combinations showing positive comparative heterosis at the significant level, that of the internode length （60.42%） was larger, these of chemical components in upper leaves were in the range of 8.33%-29.17%, these of chemical components in middle leaves were in the range of 20.83%-39.58%, and these of chemical components in lower leaves were in the range of 16.67%-35.42%. It was indicated that rational effective control of water and fertilizer in this sensitive period could significantly enhance heterosis.展开更多

文摘Based on the chemical composition data of a regional long-lasting haze event that occurred in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD)region from 17 December 2023 to 8 January 2024,the evolutionary characteristics of the chemical components and sources of fine particulate matter(PM2.5)under different pollution levels were comparatively analyzed using PMF(Positive Matrix Factorization)and backward trajectory analysis.SNA(NO_(3)^(-),NH_(4)^(+),SO_(4)^(2-))was found to be the primary chemical component of PM2.5,making up 63.6%(clean days)to 69.7%(heavy pollution)of it.The NO_(3)^(-)concentration was 3.14(clean days)to 6.01(heavy pollution)times higher than that of SO_(4)^(2-).NO_(3)^(-),POC,Fe,Mn,Al concentrations increased,while SOC,EC,crustal elements(Ca,Si)and other water-soluble ions(WSIs)concentrations decreased as the pollution level increased.The contribution of secondary inorganics and biomass-burning emissions and industrial and ship emissions increased significantly as the pollution level increased,which accounted for 40.3%and 36.7%,respectively,in the heavy pollution stage.The contribution of traffic sources decreases gradually with increasing pollution levels,accounting for only 59.1%of the light pollution stage in the heavy pollution stage.PM_(2.5) and its main chemical components showed similar potential source distribution,located in the northwest(Fuyang,Huainan,Nanjing),south(Taizhou,Lishui,Jiande)and north(Taizhou,Yancheng).However,distinct transport routes were observed under the different air quality levels.During the heavy pollution period,the polluted air masses primarily came from the harbor regions,whereas during the light pollution period they were transported from the southeast(Taizhou)and the North China Plain.

文摘The specific and cumulative effects of fine particulate matter(PM_(2.5))components on hypertension remain less defined,notably in susceptible older adults.This national study utilized a representative sample of 220,425 older adults in China,to scrutinize their relationship.Residential PM_(2.5)and five chemical components(black carbon(BC),organic matter(OM),sulphate(SO_(4)^(2−)),nitrate(NO_(3)^(−)),and ammonium(NH_(4)^(+)))were estimated by the bilinear interpolation.Associations between PM_(2.5)and five chemical components with hypertension were examined through two-stage logistic regression models,with population attributable fractions(PAFs)determined via counterfactual analysis.Elevated exposure to PM_(2.5)and its components was generally linked to higher hypertension prevalence.With each interquartile range increase,the odds ratio(OR)of hypertension rose by 1.09(95%CI:1.08–1.11)for NO_(3)^(−),1.06(95%CI:1.05–1.08)for NH_(4)^(+),1.06(95%CI:1.05–1.07)for OM,1.05(95%CI:1.04–1.06)for BC,and 1.06(95%CI:1.04–1.07)for SO42-.Notably,the cumulative impact of five PM_(2.5)chemical components(OR:1.13,95%CI:1.12–1.13)was significantly greater than the effect of total PM_(2.5)mass alone(OR:1.04,95%CI:1.03–1.05).Regarding PAFs,NO_(3)^(−)represented the strongest contribution to hypertension,followed by OM,NH_(4)^(+),SO_(4)^(2−),and BC.Furthermore,the effects were accentuated in low socio-economic population.These findings underline that using total PM_(2.5)as a surrogate marker may underestimate the comprehensive impact of its chemical components,underscoring the necessity for targeted interventions to reduce emissions of specific PM_(2.5)chemical constituents.

文摘[Objective]The aim was to explore effects of curing technique parameters on chemical components and aromatic material accumulation to formulate a suitable curing technique and for and to achieve tobacco scalding, drying and giving aromat- ic flavor. [Method] With tobacco variety KRK 26 as test materials, the test involved parameters of three curing-techniques in down, middle and upper parts of flue-cured tobaccos in an oven to measure chemical components and aromatic substances in tobaccos. [Result] The effects of curing techniques on total sugar and reducing sug- ar differed upon temperature and humidity. The contents of chemical components, such as total alkaloid, total N and the ratio of sugar/ alkali by moderate temperature and high humidity technique were of significant differences with those by moderate temperature and moderate humidity technique and with low temperature and low hu- midity technique; the chemical components by moderate temperature and moderate humidity were of insignificant differences with the treatment by low temperature and low humidity technique. Total amount of aroma components by different curing tech- niques from high to low was the treatment by low temperature and low humidity technique （461.72 μg/g）, the treatment by moderate temperature and moderate hu- midity technique （450.06μg/g） and the treatment by moderate temperature and high humidity technique （385.12μg/g）, suggesting the content of aromatic substances is high at low temperature and low humidity. [Conclusion] Moderate temperature and high humidity curing technique has significant effects on total alkaloid, total N and the ratio of sugar/ alkali of tobaccos and different curing techniques also affect the total amount of aromatic substances of flue-cured tobaccos.
文摘In this study, the relationship between major meteorological factors and tobacco chemical components in different altitudes of Yongde County, Lincang Region of Yunnan Province was studied using correlation analysis and path analysis methods.The results showed that there was a difference on meteorological factors in different altitudes, causing different impacts on chemical components of flue-cured tobacco; contents of nicotine and total nitrogen decreased with the rising of altitude, conversely, total sugar and reducing sugar contents increased with the rising trend of altitude, and the differences on the contents of potassium （K） and chlorine（CI）, and the ratio of K to CI in different altitudes were not significant, at the altitude of 1 250-1 450 m, each chemical component indicator was better. The correlation between main meteorological factors and conventional chemical components of tobacco leaves was as follows： contents of reducing sugar and total sugar increased with the increase of rainfall and relative humidity, and decreased with the increase of sunshine duration; nicotine content increased with the increase of accumulated temperature and sunshine duration; total nitrogen （N） content increased with the increase of daily mean temperature and accumulated temperature; sugar-alkali ratio increased with the increase of rainfall. Path analysis showed that the direct effect of sunshine duration on reducing sugar and total sugar of tobacco leaves was faint, but the indirect effect was obvious; meanwhile, the direct and indirect effects of it on nicotine and total N were the greatest.

文摘The relationship between the amount of tea cream and the chemical components contents in the original green tea infusion was investigated. The results showed that the amounts of tea cream in the green tea infusions obtained from different cultivars and different parts of new shoots were varied. There were many chemical components participating in the formation of green tea cream. However, there were only the contents of caffeine （Y=0.85, P〈0.01） and polyphenols （Y=0.65, P〈0.05） in the original green tea infusion highly correlated with the amount of green tea cream. Stepwise regression analysis of overall chemical components indicated that the contents of caffeine and gallated catechins in the original green tea infusion had a significant effect （P〈0.01） on green tea cream levels. Cream （g L-1）=-172.071＋ 0.129×Ccaffeine＋0.024×Ggallated catechins （R2=0.936）. The amount of green tea cream can be predicted by the contents of gallated catechins and caffeine in the original tea infusion. Principal component analysis also indicated that catechins, minerals, and polysaccharides were the important chemical components in the formation of green tea cream.

文摘The volatile chemical components of Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR) were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry with the method of heuristic evolving latent projections and overall volume integration. The results show that 38 volatile chemical components of RPR are determined, accounting for 95.21% of total contents of volatile chemical components of RPR. The main volatile chemical components of RPR are (Z, Z)-9,12-octadecadienoic acid, n-hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy- benzaldehyde, 1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-ethanone, 6,6-dimethyl-bicyclo[3.1.1] heptane-2-methanol, 4,7-dimethyl-benzofuran, 4-(1-methylethenyl)-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxaldehyde, and cyclohexadecane.
文摘The changes of polyphenols in tobacco leaves during the flue-curing process and correlation analysis on some chemical components were studied. Leaf samples were taken from different tobacco-producing regions in Henan Province, China. The results indicated that the content of total phenols increased during the first 24 h of curing, and then decreased. It reached the lowest value at 72 h of curing and increased rapidly after that. The content of chlorogenic acid also increased during 0-24 h of curing. But the lowest point occurred at 60 or 72 h of curing and then it increased till the end of the curing process. The content of mtin generally increased with curing, and showed little fluctuations. The changes of PPO and POD activity were the opposite. Rutin was found to have a highly significant positive correlation with total sugar （r=0.822^＊＊）, but a highly significant negative correlation with starch, nicotine, and protein.

文摘GuiLingJi(GLJ),a classic traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)formula,is composed of over 20 herbs,according to the Pharmacopeia of the People's Republic of China.Owing to its various activities,GLJ has been used in clinical settings for more than 400 years in China.However,the ambiguous chemical material basis limits the development of studies on the quality control and pharmacological mechanisms of GLJ.Therefore,comprehensive characterization of the multiple chemical components of GLJ is of great significance for the modernization of this formula.Given the great variety of herbs in GLJ,both UHPLCMS and ^(1)H NMR techniques were employed in this study.In addition,solvent extraction with different polarities was used to eliminate signal interference and the concentration of trace components.A variety of MS analytic methods were also used,including implementation of a self-built compound database,diagnostic ion filtering,mass defect filtering,and Compound Discoverer 3.0 analysis software.Based on the above strategies,a total of 150 compounds were identified,including 5 amino acids,13 phenolic acids and glycosides,11 coumarins,72 flavones,20 triterpenoid and triterpenoid saponins,23 fatty acids,and 6 other compounds.Moreover,13 compounds were identified by ^(1)H NMR spectroscopy.The UHPLC-MS and ^(1)H NMR results supported and complemented each other.This strategy provides a rapid approach to analyzing and identifying the chemical composition of Chinese herbal prescriptions.The current study provides basis for further research on the quality control and pharmacological mechanism of GLJ.

文摘Although marine and terrestrial emissions simultaneously affect the formation of atmospheric fine particles in coastal areas,knowledge on the optical properties and sources of water-soluble matter in these areas is still scarce.In this work,taking Qingdao,China as a typical coastal location,the chemical composition of PM_(2.5)duringwinter 2019was analyzed.Excitation-emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy was combined with parallel factor analysis model to explain the components of water-soluble atmospheric chromophores of PM_(2.5).Our analysis indicated that NO_(3)^(-),NH_(4)^(+)and SO_(4)^(2-)ions accounted for 86.80%of the total ion mass,dominated by NO_(3)^(-).The ratio of[NO_(3)^(-)]/[SO_(4)^(2-)]was up to 2.42±0.84,suggesting thatmobile sources play an important role in local pollutants emission.The result of positive correlation between Abs_(365)with K^(+)suggests that biomass burning is an important source of water-soluble organic compounds(WSOC).Six types of fluorophores(C1-C6),all humic-like substances,were identified in WSOC.Humification index,biological index and fluorescence index in winter were 1.66±0.34,0.51±0.44 and 1.09±0.78,respectively,indicating that WSOC in Qingdao were mainly terrestrial organic matters.Overall,although the study area is close to the ocean,the contribution of terrestrial sources to PM_(2.5),especially vehicle exhaust and coal combustion,is still much higher than that of marine sources.Our study provides a more comprehensive understanding of chemical and optical properties of WSOC based on PM_(2.5)in coastal areas,and may provide ground for improving local air quality.
