Acetaldehyde Dehydrogenase (ALDH) (EC 1.2.1.10) is a type of aldehyde dehydrogenase, which widely exists in various animals, plants and microorganisms. Its main function is to oxidize acetaldehyde into acetic acid, playing a major role in alcohol metabolism. In humans and many animals, mitochondrial acetaldehyde dehydrogenase can convert alcohols that are harmful to organisms, so acetaldehyde dehydrogenase has received great attention in cell detoxification research. At the same time, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase has been widely studied and applied in molecular biology and the detection of related diseases.

Anthocyanins are a class of natural pigments that are easily soluble in polar solvents and belong to flavonoids. They widely exist in the roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits of plants, giving them different colors from red to purple, and are the main coloring substances in plants.

In the pentose phosphate pathway, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and 6PGDH sequentially catalyze the synthesis of NADPH, which is closely related to energy balance, growth rate, and cell viability. In addition, 6PGDH plays an important role in stress physiology.

Ascorbic Acid (AsA), among other functions, are also known as Vitamin C, acts as a coenzyme, free radical scavenger, electron donor/acceptor, and substrate for the biosynthesis of oxalate and tartrate. As the most important antioxidant in plant cells, AsA plays a crucial role in protecting chloroplasts from oxidative damage and is also an important indicator for measuring the quality of agricultural products.

Glutamic Acid (Glu) is widely found in animals, plants, microorganisms, and cultured cells. It is not only one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins but also participates in the synthesis of various amino acids through transamination, serving as a major source of amino groups in organisms. Furthermore, Glu is the primary active component of monosodium glutamate (MSG), commonly used as a food additive and in flavor production.

Chloroplasts are the most important and ubiquitous plastids in plant cells, serving as organelles for photosynthesis. Chloroplasts utilize their chlorophyll to convert light energy into chemical energy, transforming CO₂ and water into sugars. They represent the world's lowest-cost, highest-yielding biological factories in terms of material production. The accurate and comprehensive isolation of chloroplasts with preserved normal activity has become a prerequisite for many research studies.

Chalcone isomerase (CHI) is the first recognized enzyme involved in the synthesis of flavonoids and is one of the key enzymes in the flavonoid metabolic pathway. Together with chalcone synthase, it constitutes the rate-limiting enzyme for the biosynthesis of flavonoids.

Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) is a class of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of alcohols to aldehydes, accompanied by the reduction of NAD+ to NADH. In humans, there are 9 types of ADH isozymes, with most of the ADH activity occurring in the liver. Members of the ADH family are the main enzymes involved in alcohol detoxification; genetic variations in ADH enzymes lead to differences in ADH activity and alcohol tolerance, and may regulate the susceptibility to alcoholism.

Ceruloplasmin (Cp) is a copper-containing protein in plasma that functions in copper transport. It also exhibits oxidase activity and acts as an important antioxidant in extracellular fluids.

Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS) is a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis, catalyzing the formation of long-chain fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA. FAS is commonly expressed in various tissue cells and is abundantly expressed in mammalian liver, kidney, brain, lung, mammary gland, and adipose tissue.

Ferric-chelate reductase (FCR) catalyzes the reduction of Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ in ferric chelates, playing a significant role in iron absorption in certain species.

Diamine Oxidase (DAO; EC 1.4.3.6) is widely present in animals (intestinal mucosa, lungs, liver, kidneys, etc.), plants, and microorganisms. It catalyzes the oxidation of polyamines into aldehydes. Its activity is closely related to nucleic acid and protein synthesis. DAO can reflect the integrity and extent of damage to the intestinal mechanical barrier.

Alcoholic beverages are collectively referred to as jiu in Chinese, containing alcohol (ethanol). Ethanol is the main component of alcoholic beverages and is one of the important indicators for measuring their quality. China is the country that first invented brewing in the world and is also a major consumer of alcoholic products, with consumption leading the world. Therefore, the rapid and accurate determination of ethanol content in alcoholic beverages is of great significance for ensuring their quality and protecting consumer health.

Dehydrogenase (DH) is a type of enzyme that catalyzes redox reactions. It catalyzes the oxidation of substrates via the cytochrome system, releasing energy for use by the organism, which is one way organisms obtain energy.
