Effects of Exogenous Tannase and Papain on the Flavor Quality of Black Tea During Fermentation.
Article in Foods (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study systematically investigated the application effects of exogenous enzymes (tannase/papain) during black tea fermentation, aiming to optimize flavor. Tannase treatment significantly reduced astringent substances like tea polyphenols and enhanced 11 metabolites, including Myricetin-3-O-arabinoside, thereby effectively enhancing fruity and sweet aromas. Papain treatment increased free amino acids and accumulated Myricetin-3-O-arabinoside and Vitexin-7-O-glucoside, significantly enhancing umami and floral flavors. Both enzyme treatments increased the odor activity value (OAV) of key aroma compounds such as (Z)-3-Hexen-1-ol and 1-Hexanol. Molecular docking revealed that hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonding are the key driving forces for aroma compound binding, OR5M3 and OR1A1 are key olfactory receptors for black tea aroma perception, and Benzene, n-butyl- was identified as a key aroma compound for the studied receptors. Overall, exogenous enzyme technology significantly changed the flavor of traditional black tea by reducing bitterness and astringency, as well as enhancing sweetness and floral aroma.
