We developed a high-performance liquid chromatography-based method for simultaneous analysis of nine catechins, gallic acid, strictinin, caffeine, and theobromine in green tea by using catechol as an internal standard. Although the high cost and instability of the catechin reference standards limit
Zirconium phosphate (ZrP) was prepared and employed to separate strictinin-rich tea polyphenol from Chinese green tea extracts. The influences of ZrP calcination temperatures, green tea extraction conditions, and the amounts of ZrP on the isolation of strictinin-rich tea polyphenol were evaluated;
Strictinin, the major phenolic compound in Pu'er teas produced from young leaves and buds of wild trees, was isolated to evaluate its antibacterial and laxative activities. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of strictinin against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis were
The antioxidant effect of strictinin (SOH), which was extracted from green tea leaves, against the peroxidation of linoleic acid in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyl trimethylammonium (CTAB) micelles, against the peroxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and against oxidative hemolysis of
Green tea-based dietary supplements (GTDSs) have gained popularity in the U.S. market in recent years. This study evaluated the phytochemical composition difference of GTDS in comparison with green tea leaves using an HPLC/MS fingerprinting technique coupled with chemometric analysis. Five
We investigated the phagocytosis-enhancing activity of green tea polyphenols, such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), epicatechin (EC) catechin (+C) and strictinin, using VD3-differentiated HL60 cells. EGCG, EGC, ECG and strictinin, but not EC and
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) is a powerful technique for visualizing the distribution of a wide range of biomolecules within tissue sections. However, methodology for visualizing a bioactive ellagitannin has not yet been established. This paper
Green tea extract is well-known to reduce the risk of a variety of diseases. Here, we investigated the immunostimulating activity of tea polysaccharide (TPS), one of the main components in green tea extract. The water extracts from mature or immature tea leaves were precipitated by using ethanol at
BACKGROUND
A new fermented tea produced by tea-rolling processing of loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) leaf with green tea leaf (denoted as LG tea) showed a potent antihyperglycaemic effect in maltose-loaded rats. The aim of this study, therefore, was to identify alpha-glucosidase inhibitors in the
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Kucha tea plant (Camellia assamica var. kucha Chang et Wang) is regarded as a mutant variety of wild Pu'er tea plant found in few mountain areas of Yunnan, China. Its fresh young leaves and shoots are
The different cultivation methods affect tea quality by altering the basic metabolite profiles. In this study, the metabolome changes were investigated in green tea and shade cultured green tea (tencha) by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry
BACKGROUND
Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) is consumed all over the world and in especially large quantities in Japan and China, where it has been used not only as a daily beverage but also for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Tea has been found to exhibit various bioregulatory activities,
The mechanism of sediment formation during the storage of green tea beverage was investigated. Green tea extract was separated by Diaion HP-20 column chromatography, and a sediment-formation test was performed. Results showed that at least one compound of the substance causing flock sediment was
High-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC) was applied to the separation of polyphenols from tea leaves (Camellia sinensis L.). The capability of HSCCC to isolate pure tea polyphenols from complex mixtures on a preparative scale was demonstrated for catechins, flavonol glycosides,
The polyphenolic composition of Camellia irrawadiensis, which is a closely related species of Camellia sinensis (cultivated tea), was investigated. The most predominant polyphenol, a kind of ellagitannin, was isolated from leaves of C. irrawadiensis. Its structure was established as
