Evaluation of taste quality of Keemun congou black tea during ripening and the effect of this quality on antioxidant capacity and in vitro inhibition of α-amylase and α-glucosidase... by Wenjing Huang, Zhibin Ye, Yida Wu, Tianzi Yu, Wei Zhao, Zihao Qi, Yanqun Jiang, Qiuyan Liu, Guofu Lu, Jingming Ning

“…In this study, taste was quantitatively evaluated by using sensory and biomimetic electrodes and by employing metabolomic techniques. The results revealed that the content of polyphenols was greatly affected by ripening, catechins and flavonoids reduced by 63.5 % and 9.2 %, respectively, and theaflavins increased by 14.6 %, thereby attenuating the bitterness and astringency of the tea infusion while enhancing its sweetness and mellowness. …”

Renewable energy transition and climate finance nexus in sub-Saharan Africa by Anthony Amoah, Benjamin Amoah, Edmund Kwablah, Rexford Kweku Asiama

“…Developing countries in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), which are key recipients of climate finance aimed at supporting transitions to cleaner energy, have experienced a general decline in renewable energy transitions despite ongoing financial support. This study employs secondary panel data from 36 SSA countries covering the period 2000 to 2022 and uses a Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) Panel Vector Autoregressive (PVAR) regression model to explore the relationship between climate finance and renewable energy transitions in the region. …”

Digital financial inclusion and economic green growth: evidence from counties covered by China’s national key ecological functional zones by Li Mo, Song Chen, Shenwei Wan, Chen Liang, Ye Ma

“…Against the backdrop of growing attention being paid to both ecological compensation and the digital economy, this paper explores the impact of digital financial inclusion on green economic growth in counties within China’s National Key Ecological Functional Zones (NKEFZs) from 2014 to 2022, using panel data from 393 counties. Employing a two-way fixed-effects model, the study finds that digital financial inclusion promotes both traditional and green economic growth. …”
