摘要: 为阐明Mg2+对绿茶茶汤纳米聚集体稳定性及茶沉淀形成的影响机制,本研究以绿茶茶汤纳米聚集体为研究对象,采用动态光散射、激光多普勒测速、透射电子显微镜等技术分析Mg2+对其胶体化学特性和形貌特征的影响,通过超滤将纳米聚集体按直径分离,采用高效液相色谱等方法分析主要理化成分的截留率;进而利用牛血清白蛋白(bovine serum albumin,BSA)与4 种儿茶素单体构建纳米聚集体的简单模拟体系,采用荧光光谱与圆二色光谱分析Mg2+对BSA二级结构及其与儿茶素相互作用的影响。结果表明,Mg2+通过中和纳米聚集体表面的负电荷,显著降低其静电稳定性(Zeta电位绝对值降低78%),促使茶多酚(尤其是酯型儿茶素)、咖啡碱、蛋白质、可溶性糖等成分进一步聚集,导致纳米聚集体直径增加近1 倍,且分散性下降。在简单模拟体系中,Mg2+对BSA-酯型儿茶素的相互作用具有温度依赖的双重影响,在较低温度(298 K)时,Mg2+诱导BSA分子发生轻微去折叠,形成的构象更有利于酯型儿茶素的结合;在较高温度(310 K)时,Mg2+增强了BSA的结构刚性,反而阻碍其与酯型儿茶素的结合。本研究从化学组成、胶体化学特性及儿茶素-蛋白质相互作用等角度系统分析了Mg2+对绿茶纳米聚集体稳定性的影响,可为茶饮料沉淀的预防提供理论支撑与科学依据。

Abstract: This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms by which Mg2+ affects the stability of nano-aggregates in green tea infusions and the formation of tea cream. Dynamic light scattering (DLS), laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to analyze the effect of Mg2+ on the colloidal chemical properties and morphological characteristics of the nano-aggregates. The nano-aggregates were separated by ultrafiltration with different pore sizes, and the retention rates of major chemical components were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. Furthermore, a simple simulation system for green tea nano-aggregates was constructed using bovine serum albumin (BSA) and four catechin monomers. Fluorescence spectroscopy and circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy were adopted to investigate the effect of Mg2+ on the secondary structure of BSA and its interaction with catechins. Our results demonstrated that Mg2+ neutralized the negative surface charges of nano-aggregates, reducing their electrostatic stability (indicated by a 78% decrease in the absolute zeta potential value). This promoted the further aggregation of tea polyphenols (particularly gallated catechins), caffeine, proteins, and soluble carbohydrates, leading to a near-doubling of the diameter of nano-aggregates and a decrease in their dispersibility. In the simulation system, Mg2+ exerted a temperature-dependent dual effect on BSA-gallated catechin interactions. At 298 K, Mg2+ induced a slight unfolding of BSA structure, creating a conformation that facilitated catechin binding. Conversely, at 310 K, Mg2+ enhanced the structural rigidity of BSA, thereby hindering its interaction with gallated catechins. This study systematically analyzed the effect of Mg2+ on the stability of green tea nano-aggregates from the perspectives of chemical composition, colloidal chemical properties, and catechin-protein interactions, providing theoretical support and a scientific basis for the prevention of tea cream in tea beverages.
