Tea polyphenol

Chemical properties

Green tea extract is prepared from natural dried leaves of the tea plant. Black tea is oxidized green tea. Both have been used for thousands of years in Asia as a beverage and medicine. Green tea extract is a bioflavonoid-rich, potent extract, which is used primarily for quenching free radicals. The absolute is prepared by alcoholic extraction of the concrete, or it is sometimes co-distilled from the concrete. The distilled products are viscous, amber-colored liquids with a rich, delicate, sweet, woody, herbaceous odor. Also see Tea.

The Uses of Tea polyphenol

In clinical studies, tea polyphenol demonstrates an ability to prevent or at least postpone the onset of such illnesses as cancer and heart disease. This is attributed to the catechin component's ability to penetrate into a cell, thereby protecting the cell from free radicals and associated damage. Because of its anti-oxidant properties, green tea is usually incorporated into anti-aging formulations. When applied topically, it can also reduce skin swelling. In addition, it can be found in sunscreens, given its ability to extend the product's SPF. The extract and its associated catechins can be obtained from both the plant and its dried leaves. other constituents of green tea include caffeine and phenolic acids.

Aroma characteristics in 100% ethanol for black tea distillate brewed: characteristic dry leafy, floral, herbal, green, woody brown notes, slightly clooked fruity nuance

Taste threshold values

Taste characteristics at 0.05%: sweet, refreshing and tea-like with an herbal and hay-like nuance and an astringent tannin afternote. Taste characteristics at 80 to 200 ppm for black tea distillate light: fresh brewed tea, delicate, green leafy, slightly bitter and astringent with a slight floral nuance. Taste characteristics at 100 to 200 ppm for black tea distillate brewed: strong black tea-like with green leafy, floral and fruity nuances. Slightly astringent with a tea aftertaste.

Benefits

Tea polyphenol, also called green tea extract, are a mixture of chemical compounds, such as flavanoids and tannins, found naturally in tea. These chemical compounds are believed to be beneficial to human health. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants, which can reduce the risk of developing coronary artery disease and a number of other health problems.

Benefits

Tea polyphenols have been reported to exert antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that contribute to IBD management. Tea polyphenols diminish oxidative/nitrosative stress, inflammation, and cell injury through differential regulation of gene expression while enhancing cytoprotective defense.
