Tea polysaccharide had high antioxidant activity and it could be used to cure diabetes. Antioxidant activity of tea poly-saccharide (TPS) from three kinds of tea (green tea, oolong tea and black tea) were compared, the result indicated that oolong tea polysaccharide (OTPS) had the highest antioxidant activity. In order to explicate the mechanism of antioxidant and hypoglycemic activity, the streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes mice model (DM) was established. The influence of OTPS on blood-glucose, content of MDA and NO, and activities of GSH-PX, SOD, NOS in serum, kidney and liver were investigated. The result showed that after four weeks injection of OTPS to DM mice, the blood-glucose of three treatment group reduced by 14.5%,21.5% and 33.3%, respectively, comparing to the model control. The reduction effect of OTPS increased with the rise of dose. The activity of SOD and GSH-PX elevated significantly, while the activity of NOS decreased. The content of MDA and NO reduced significantly. The above results imply that antioxidant activity was enhanced. Comparing to XKW treatment, the effect of a dose of 300mg/(kg. bw) OTPS was much better. The research showed that the OTPS had a significant effect on reducing blood glucose, and could enhance the antioxidant activity of DM mice.

This paper estimated how demographic characteristics, food selection preferences, daily physical activities, and food purchasing patterns of consumers affect the consumer choice to buy coffee and tea by analyzing the Consumer Panel data in 2014 using Multinomial logit model. The results are summarized as follows. First, factors such as age, income, employment status, and educational level were found to be statistically significant upon the impact analysis of consumers' demographic characteristics. Second, the study showed that the first group of consumers drinking less coffee and tea had the highest interest in health, followed by the third group drinking less coffee and more tea, the second group more coffee and less tea, and the fourth group more coffee and tea. In addition, it was also found that the fourth group's pattern to purchase more coffee and tea could be explained by consumers' food consumption patterns.

The use of caffeine as a psychoactive stimulant in tea has been observed to have serious negative effects in humans' systems such as respiratory, nervous, cardiovascular, renal and skeletal systems. This study was carried out to assess the levels of caffeine in 10 different tea brands available in local market in Dutse, Jigawa State, Nigeria. Quantitative analysis of caffeine was performed by a simple and fast UV-Vis spectrophotometric methods using different solvents for extraction. The caffeine content in all the tea samples analyzed in this study were below the maximum allowable limits set by the USFDA. Tea have been associated with adverse health effects and the claims made by manufacturers about the benefits of tea do not highlight risks associated with excessive consumption of a combination of the ingredients contained in tea. Long term effects of tea consumption of children and young people have not been adequately studied. Therefore, it is recommended that further research be carried out on the adverse effects of energy drinks on children. Research is also needed to be done on the effects of the combination of ingredients on health and excessive consumption of those ingredients to children and adolescents. People need to be educated and given proper awareness on the health risks associated with caffeine containing beverages.

Pu-erh tea, a popular and traditional Chinese tea, possesses various health-promoting effects, including inhibiting tumor cell progression and preventing type II diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. However, the precise anti-inflammatory mechanisms are not well understood. In present study, we elucidated the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Pu-erh tea in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 cells. We explored the effects of Pu-erh tea on the levels of inflammatory-related genes, including inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, we investigated its regulatory effects on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF)-κB and hypoxia-inducible-factor (HIF)-1α activation. The findings of this study demonstrated that Pu-erh tea inhibited the LPS-increased inflammatory cytokines and PGE₂ release, as well as COX-2 and iNOS expression. Moreover, we confirmed that the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Pu-erh tea occurs via the inhibition of NF-κB and HIF-1α activation. Conclusively, these findings provide experimental evidence that Pu-erh tea may be useful candidate in the treatment of inflammatory-related diseases.

Tea is an aqueous infusion of dried leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis L. and is the second most widely consumed beverage around the world after water. Aroma compounds of tea differ largely depending on the manufacturing process, even from the same categories of different origins. The flavor of tea can be divided into two categories: taste (non-volatile compounds) and aroma (volatile compounds). In the present study, we review the formation mechanism of main aromas generated from carotenoids, lipids, glycosides as precursors, and Maillard reaction during the tea manufacturing process, with biological and chemical mechanisms.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of perceived value on the satisfaction and revisit intention of green tea farm visitors. The sample was obtained during the three month period from May 19th, 2006 to May 21st, 2006, and out of 800 copies of questionnaire, 597 copies responded with sincerity were analyzed. First, the perceived value of visitors in green tea farms seemed to have effective relations with satisfaction. Second, the perceived value of visitors in green tea farms seemed to have effective relations with revisit intention. Empirical evidence is obtained for both regional economy and industry and the development of tourism products. Specially, findings from this study suggest that perceived value are strong predictors of revisit intention to green tea farms in Hadong-gun. Several implications for the research result and actual application practices are discussed.

본 연구에서는 녹차엽의 채취 시기와 재배지역에 따른 휘발성 향기성분의 종류, 차이, 그리고 변화를 비교하기 위하여 제주와 전남지역에서 재배한 차의 생엽을 시기별로 채취하였다. 녹차엽의 휘발성 향기 성분은 SPME를 사용하여 포집, 흡착하여 GC, GC-MS, GC-O, 그리고 retention time을 이용하여 분리된 성분을 분석, 동정하였다. 녹차엽의 휘발성분의 양은 수분함량을 고려한 건조함량을 기준으로 정량하였다. 수분함량은 생엽이 78-80%, 건조엽이 3.20-4.98% 정도였다. 휘발성 향기성분의 흡착에 사용되는 SPME 방법은 이전의 여러 방법에 비해 분석시간이 짧고 본래의 향이 아닌 방해성분의 생성이 적은 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 사용한 SPME fiber는 7.4%의 높은 재현성을 가졌으며 표준물질(ethyl n-heptanoate)의 내부표준법에 의한 재현성 결과에서는 불안정한 peak area값(RSD 30.5-98.7%)을 가져 3.47%의 재현성 결과를 가진 외부표준법을 사용하였다. 시기에 따른 휘발성 향기 성분을 비교한 결과, 5월에 채취한 생엽의 휘발량이 가장 많았으며, Group I과 Group II 향기특성의 함량비율이 균형적이었다. 휘발량이 가장 많았던 5월에 채취한 생엽을 제주와 전남의 재배지역으로 구분하여 비교한 결과, 주 성분은 Z-3-hexenal, linalool, E-2-hexenol, n-hexanal, Z-linalool oxide, myrcene, benzyl alcohol이었다. 이러한 결과는 채엽 시기가 녹차의 향기 특성에 영향을 주며, 채엽 시기가 같더라도 지역에 따라 향기가 다른 녹차가 제조될 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 본 연구는 녹차를 지역에 따라 구분하는 데에도 도움이 될 것으로 예상된다.

항암, 시력 회복, 변비 , 당뇨병 , 신장병 , 불면증 등에 치료 호과가 있어 건강 음료로 이용되고 있는 tea fungus 발효 홍차를 당의 종류(자당, 포도당, 과당, 옥수수물엿), 농도(10-60% w/v), 그리고 배양 온도별($5-50^{\circ}C$)로 제조하여 발효액의 pH변화와 산생산성을 보았다. 자당과 포도당을 첨가하여 제조한 홍차 용액 중에서 산생성 경향이 서로 유사하고, 자당과 옥수수물엿을 사용한 홍차 용액에서 산생성 경향이 서로 유사한 것으로 보아 자당보다 과당의 이용성이 높은것으로 추정된다. 배양액 표면의 막 형성과 생육, 그리고 생성을 위한 최적 온도는 $30^{\circ}C$였다. 20%이상의 자당과 과당을 사용한 홍차 용액을 $30^{\circ}C$에서 14일간 배양하였을 때 0.1-0.2%의 낮은 산 생성을 보였으며, 10%의 자당과 과당을 사용한 홍차 용액에서 14일간 배양시킨 발효 홍차의 total acidity는 각각 1.8% w/v(자당)과 0.68% w/v(과당)가 되었다. 발효 홍차의 pH는 배양 2일 후부터 당의 증류, 농도, 배양 온도에 크게 영향을 받지 않고 모든 배양액에서 2.74-3.56으로 떨어져 배양 14일까지 같은 수준의 pH를 유지하였다.
