“…First of all, the facile availability of these glycosides enables thorough understanding the biosynthetic and biotransformation machinery of tea aroma formation and, thus, promotes the development of tea industry via advanced technological control during the cultivation of tea plants and the tea manufacturing process. , Besides, these aroma precursor glycosides find broader application as biosafe additives in food, floriculture, and fragrance industries, contributing to optimized flavor and sensory attributes of food and beverages (ham, tea, wine, etc.) and also fruits and cut flowers; , accordingly, competitive advantages can be obtained for individual products. Furthermore, as a result of their antifungal and anti-insect activities, − these precursor glycosides are suggested as biosafe food preservative agents as well as plant-derived environmentally friendly fungicides and pesticides. , …”
