Katekin merupakan senyawa bioaktif dengan kerangka flavan-3-ol dan menjadi senyawa utama penentu mutu serta dapat memberikan rasa pahit yang khas pada teh. Senyawa turunan katekin yang memiliki aktivitas sebagai antioksidan paling kuat dan melimpah yaitu epigalokatekin galat. Tujuan dari review artikel ini yaitu untuk mengetahui kandungan senyawa katekin dan epigalokatekin galat sebagai antioksidan pada berbagai jenis teh berdasarkan nilai IC50.Metode penulisan review artikel ini dilakukan dengan mencari serta menganalisis studi pustaka dari beberapa jurnal yang berkaitan dengan aktivitas antioksidan pada berbagai jenis teh dengan penelusuran terhadap senyawa katekin, khususnya epigalokatekin galat. Hasil review menunjukkan bahwa aktivitas antioksidan pada pengolahan jenis teh seperti teh hijau, teh oolong, dan teh hitam memiliki perbedaan yang cukup signifikan yang dapat dilihat dari kandungan senyawa katekin dan EGCG dimana semakin besar kandungan senyawa tersebut, maka aktivitas antioksidannya semakin tinggi. Selain itu, tingginya aktivitas antioksidan dapat dilihat dari nilai IC50. Semakin rendah nilai IC50, maka aktifitas antioksidan akan semakin tinggi. Teh hijau terbukti memiliki aktivitas antioksidan yang paling tinggi diantara teh lainnya dengan kandungan katekin sebesar 10,04% dan epigalokatekin galat sebesar 3,28% serta nilai IC50 yang paling rendah yaitu 58,61 µg/mL. Kata Kunci: Katekin, Teh Hijau, Teh Oolong, Teh Hitam, Antioksidan Catechins are bioactive compounds with a flavan-3-ol structure and become a major determinant of quality compounds and can give a distinctive bitter taste of tea. Catechin derivative compounds that have the antioxidant activity as the strongest and abundant are epigallocatechin gallate. The purpose of this article review was to determine the content of catechins and epigallocatechin gallate compounds as an antioxidant in various types of tea based on the IC50 value. The method of writing of this article review was carried out by searching and analyzing literature studies from several journals related to antioxidant activity in various types of tea by tracing catechin compounds, especially the epigallocatechin gallate. The results of the review showed that the antioxidant activity in the processing of types of tea such as green tea, oolong tea, and black tea has significant differences which could be seen from the content of catechins and EGCG compounds where the greater the content of the compounds, the higher the antioxidant activity. Also, the high antioxidant activity can be seen from the IC50 value. The lower the IC50 value, the higher the antioxidant activity. Green tea shows to have the highest antioxidant activity among other teas with a catechin content of 10.04% and an epigallocatechin gallate of 3.28% and the lowest IC50 value of 58.61 µg/mL.

People in Bangladesh are traditionally used to consume mainly black tea. However, some tea manufacturing companies are now producing green tea, though in a small scale. To create new knowledge as well as awareness about the consumption of green tea, the present study was carried out to compare the black and green tea available in Bangladesh based on their bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity. A total of eight brands of black tea and two brands of green tea were bought from the supermarkets. Total phenolics, total tannin, total flavonoids, and caffeine content were measured as bioactive compounds, and antioxidant activity was evaluated by using two different methods such as DPPH (1,1- diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical-scavenging activity and ABTS+ radical scavenging activity of methanol extracts of black and green tea. Every bioactive compound in black and green tea was found to be significantly different (P < 0.05). The total phenolic content, on average, was measured at 242.46 mg GAE/g dry extract and 763.41 mg GAE/ g dry extract in black and green tea, respectively. Black tea contained 6.47 mg TAE/g dry extract tannin, whereas green tea had much more tannin content, 14.51 mg TAE/g dry extract, which is more than double in amount. On the other hand, the total flavonoid content was almost double in black tea (61.82 mg QE/g dry extract) compared to green tea (31.85 mg QE/g dry extract). Antioxidant activities were determined at different concentrations of tea samples. At every concentration, green tea presented higher ABTS+ and DPPH radical scavenging activity than black tea. The highest percentage of inhibition was observed at 20 ppm both in black and green tea, finding 98.50 % and 99.07 % inhibition, respectively. Overall, significantly (P < 0.05) higher amount of phenolic compounds as well as antioxidant activity were observed in green tea.

AbstractSaliva plays major roles in human-to-human transmission of the SARS-CoV-2. Recently we reported that black, green and oolong tea significantly inactivated SARS-CoV-2 within 1 min. Theaflavin-3,3’-di-gallate (TFDG), theasinensin A (TSA) and (-) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) were involved in the anti-viral activities. Here we examined how long period is required for the compounds to inactivate the virus. We also assessed whether tea inactivates SARS-CoV-2 diluted in human saliva. Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 with 500 μM TFDG or TSA for 10 sec reduced the virus titer to undetectable levels (less than 1/1,000). Black and green tea decreased virus titer to less than 1/100 within 10 sec even in saliva. These findings suggest a possibility that intake of, or gargling with, tea may inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in saliva in infected individuals, which may eventually attenuate spread of COVID-19 within a population, although clinical studies are required to test this hypothesis by determining the intensity and duration of the anti-viral effect of tea in saliva in humans.

Tannase was effectively immobilized on alginate by the method of crosslinking-entrapment-crosslinking with a high activity recovery of 76.6%. The properties of immobilized tannase were investigated. Its optimum temperature was determined to be 35 ° C, decreasing 10 °C compared with that of free enzyme, whereas the optimum pH of 5.0 did not change. The thermal and pH stabilities of immobilized tannase increased to some degree. The kinetic parameter, Km, for immobilized tannase was estimated to be 11.6 × 10-4 mol/L. Fe2+ and Mn2+ could activate the activity of immobilized tannase. The immobilized tannase was also applied to treat the tea beverage to investigate its haze-removing effect. The content of non-estern catechins in green tea, black tea and oolong tea increased by 52.17%, 12.94% and 8.83%, respectively. The content of estern catechins in green tea, oolong tea and black tea decreased by 20.0%, 16.68% and 5.04%, respectively. The anti-sediment effect of green tea infusion treated with immobilized tannase was significantly increased. The storage stability and reusability of the immobilized tannase were improved greatly, with 72.5% activity retention after stored for 42 days and 86.9% residual activity after repeatedly used for 30 times.

Background: Tea is a refreshing drink that contains polyphenol compounds, namely catechins that are used for medicine and cosmetics. This study was to assess the content of catechin compounds in green tea, oolong and black tea products from Indonesia, China and Taiwan. Methods: Some tea products are brewed at varying temperatures (75±2; 85±2 and 95±20 C) and times (5; 10 and 15 minutes). Identification of catechin compounds was carried out using chemical reagents and UV spectrophotometry. The level of cathecin in tea products were analyzed by spectrophotometer at 280 nm wavelength. Results: The results obtained indicate that green tea, oolong tea and black tea contain epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) compounds according to the color change based on chemical reagents and for UV spectrum analysis which has λmax in the range 268-274 nm. The results of quantitative tests using UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed that the green tea samples gave the highest levels of catechins followed by oolong tea and black tea with brewing temperature at 95±20 °C. Conclusion: The catechin content of tea obtained from various products varies according to the type of processing method and the brewing temperature. Therefore, this study is expected to provide information related to catechin content to the public and researchers.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the content of a number of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of fruits of selected local and commercial sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) cultivars. The experiment showed that the selected cultivars of sweet cherries differ significantly in the content of polyphenolic compounds and carotenoids. The fruits of commercial sweet cherry cultivars were, on average, richer in polyphenols (the sum of phenolic compounds determined chromatographically), flavonoids, as well as anthocyanins and were characterized by higher antioxidant activity when compared to the local, traditional cultivars. In the group of the traditional sweet cherry cultivars, particular attention could be paid to Black Late cv., showing the highest antioxidant activity of fruits. In the group of commercial sweet cherry cultivars, Cordia and Sylvia fruits could be recognized as being rich in bioactive compounds with high antioxidant activity. Yellow skin cultivars were characterized by the highest concentrations of carotenoids. Strong positive correlations between the identified bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of fruits were also found. Although different cultivars of sweet cherries show a high variability in phenolics and carotenoids profiles as well as in the antioxidant activity of fruits, they all should be, similarly to other types of cherries, recognized as a rich source of bioactive compounds with an antioxidant potential.
