Alcohol dehydrogenase (5) and leucine a-ketoglutarate transaminase (33,34) contribute to the development of aroma during black tea manufacturing. Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase are essential to the formation of polyphenols unique to fermented teas. 

Inherited defects in the enzymes of (3-oxidation and ketogenesis also lead to nonketotic hypoglycemia, coma, and fatty hver. Defects are known in long- and short-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (deficiency of the long-chain enzyme may be a cause of acute fetty liver of pr nancy). 3-Ketoacyl-CoA thiolase and HMG-CoA lyase deficiency also affect the degradation of leucine, a ketogenic amino acid (Chapter 30). 

Similar to the work described by Spohn et al. [34], a trienzyme sensor was developed recently for the determination of branched-chain amino acids (L-valine, L-leucine, and L-isoleucine). Leucine dehydrogenase, NADH oxidase, and peroxidase were coimmobilized covalently on tresylate-hydrophylic vinyl polymer beads and packed into a transparent PILL tube (20 cm X 1.0 id), which was used as flow cell. The sensor was free of interferences from protein and NH4+ and it was stable for 2 weeks. The sensor system was applied to the determination of branched-chain amino acids in plasma with recoveries ranging from 98 to 100% [36],... 

In a muscle at rest, most of the 2-oxo acids produced from transamination of branched chain amino acids are transported to the liver and become subject to oxidation in reactions catalysed by branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. During periods of exercise, however, the skeletal muscle itself is able to utilize the oxo-acids by conversion into either acetyl-CoA (leucine and isoleucine) or succinyl-CoA (valine and isoleucine).

The intermediary metabolism has multienzyme complexes which, in a complex reaction, catalyze the oxidative decarboxylation of 2-oxoacids and the transfer to coenzyme A of the acyl residue produced. NAD" acts as the electron acceptor. In addition, thiamine diphosphate, lipoamide, and FAD are also involved in the reaction. The oxoacid dehydrogenases include a) the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH, pyruvate acetyl CoA), b) the 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (ODH, 2-oxoglutarate succinyl CoA), and c) the branched chain dehydrogenase complex, which is involved in the catabolism of valine, leucine, and isoleucine (see p. 414).
