This study was to investigate the cadmium removal effect of Korean green tea, black tea and oolong tea beverage on Cd administered rat, tissues and their excretions. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 143±3.2g were divided into control and experimental groups. The control group were fed standard diet without cadmium . The experimental groups, which were fed standard diet containing 40 ppm Cd, were divided into 4 subgroups again , which were the groups given distilled water (CD group), 5% black tea (BT group), oolong tea (OT group ) and green tea (GT group), respectively. Five days before to sacrifice the rats, all 4 cadmium fed groups were supplied 1 ml of water with 600ppm Cd and control group were fed 1 ml of distilled water without Cd under the same dietary condition. After that, their excretion were collected separately for 3 days. In rat liver and kidney, accmulation of cadmium in 4 Cd administered groups were more than in control group and that of GT group was significantly less than CD group. In bone , also, accumulation of cadmium in 4 Cd administered groups was more than in control group and that of GT, OT,BT groups were much less than that of CD group. GT group was excreted more Cd in urine than Cd group. In feces, 3 tea feeding groups (BT, OT, GT group) were excreted Cd 1.7, 2.1, 2.4 times more than that of the CD group, respectively. We conclude that cadmium accumulations of GT feeding group in rat's liver, kidney and bone were much less than CD group , and the absorption and retention rate of GT group was significantly lower than CD group.

Water extract of green tea(GTW) and 70% ethanol extract of green tea(GTE) were prepared for the test of antibacterial activity. The sensitivity of Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhimurium to the green tea extracts in various pH of culture broth was tested. Tryptic soy broth(TSB) containing 0∼2%(w/v) of green tea extracts was adjusted to pH 5.0∼7.0 and inoculated with 10$\^$5/∼10$\^$6/ cells/ml of each bacteria. The plate counting method and clear zone test were used to determine inhibitory effect of green tea extracts. Green tea extracts completely inhibited the growth of S. aureus at 0.5% level and bactercidal at 0.5∼1.0% level of GTW and GTE at pH 5.0∼7.0. Green tea extracts were bactercidal to S. typhimurium at 1.5∼2.0% level of GTW and 1.0∼2.0% level of GTE at pH 7.0. Sal. typhimurium was more resistant than S. aureus. in same concentration of green tea extracts at same pH. The resistance of S. aureus and Sal. typhimurium was increased with decreasing pH of culture broth. The morphology of S. aureus cells treated with green tea extracts showed damage of cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane. Severely damaged cells of S. aureus lost electron dense material and cytoplasm. Green tea extracts stimulated autolysis and cell death of S. aureus. This result suggests that green tea extracts can be used as an effective natural antibacterial agent in food.

This study was carried out to establish the manufacturing formulation of tea-bag type garlic tea. In order to eliminate of garlic-specific odor and taste, the masking effect of various additives against garlic flavor was determined with sensory evaluation. Leaves of green tea, arrowroot and Solomon's seal were screened as highly effective auxiliary ingredients in garlic tea. When two materials among the selected three auxiliary materials were mixed the same percentage, overall flavor of garlic tea synergistically was enhanced. The optimum concentration of garlic powder and stevioside as a sweetener were 20∼30％ and 1％, respectively. Therefore, three types formulation of garlic tea was establish. When the color, turbidity and total solid concentration of three formulated garlic teas were compared with those of commercially available formulated green tea containing unpolished rice, the latter was more yellowish color and the former was more superior to turbidity and total solid concentration.

Tea is the most popular beverage in the world. In fact, there are mainly three different kinds of tea (Green tea, black tea, and post-fermented tea). Post-fermented tea is produced by the microbial fermentation process using sun-dried green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) as the raw material. Chungtaejeon was a traditional tea introduced in the age of the ancient three states and is the only "Ddeok-cha or Don-cha" culture in the world that survived on the southwestern shore of Republic of Korea. In this study, the structures of the bacterial community involved in the production of oriental traditional post-fermented tea (Chungtaejeon) were investigated using 16S rRNA gene analysis. The 16S rRNA gene analysis of dominant microbial bacteria in post-fermented tea confirmed the presence of Pantoea sp., and Klebsiella oxytoca. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that the taxonomic affiliation of the dominant species in the post-fermented tea was ${\gamma}$-proteobacteria. As a result of the microbial community size analysis, it was confirmed that the size of the microbial communities of Chungtaejeon was the largest compared to other teas

The effects of dried leaf powders and ethanol extract of persimmon, green tea and pine needle on lipid metabolism, lipid peroxidation and antioxidative activity were investigated in rats. Forty-nine male Spargue-Dawley rats weighing 107.8$\pm$1.8g were blocked into seven groups according to body weight. Rats were raised for four weeks with diets containing either 5%(w/w) dried leaf powders of one of three different Korea traditional teas, persimmon(Diospyros kaki Thunb), green tea(Camellia Sinensis O.Ktzc)or pine needle(pinus Koreansis Sieb. Et Zucc), or ethanol from equal amounts of each dried tea powder. Food intake, weight gain, food efficiency ratio, and weights of liver, kidney and epididymal fat were significantly higher in the green-tea-powder group, and significantly lower in the pine-needle-powder and pine-needle-extract groups. Persimmon-leaf powder was found to decrease plasma total lipid, triglyceride and cholesterol concentration by increasing fecal total lipid triglyceride and cholesterol excretions. Liver cholesterol concentration was significantly lower in the green-tea and pine-needle-extract groups. Red-blood-cell superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-px) activities were significantly increased in rats fed green-tea extract. Liver SOD activity was increased in rats fed pine-needle powder or extract, and liver GSH-px activity was increased in rats fed greentea powder. Plasma and liver thiobarbituric acid reactive substance(TBARS) concentration were both decreased in rats fed dried leaf posers or extracts of persimmon or green tea. It is believed that high vitamin E levels in persimmon leaf, and high flavonoid, beta-carotene and vitamin C levels in green tea effectively inhibited lipid peroxidation. In conclusion, persimmon and green tea leaves were effective in lowering lipid levels and inhibiting lipid peroxidation in animal tissue, while pine needles were effective and lowering body weight gain. From these results, persimmon and green tea leaves can be recommended in the treatment and prevention of chronic discorders such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and aging. As ethanol extracts from these teas were also effecitive in lowering tissue lipid levels and inhibiting lipid peroxidation, we recommend the use of discarded tea grounds for this.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to simplify the traditional manufacturing method of Jeungpyun by developing a new process for Jeungpyun preparation using meringue and to also investigate the quality characteristics of Jeungpyun made with green tea powder. Methods: The Jeungpyun was manufactured as 4 sample preparations (Jeungpyun: J; Jeungpyun+0.5% green tea: J+0.5% GT; Jeungpyun+1% green tea: J+1% GT; and Jeungpyun+1.5% green tea: J+1.5% GT) through mixing rice flour, meringue, green tea powder (0-1.5%), dry yeast, water, and milk, steaming for 4 min at $180^{\circ}C$ and 3 min at $220^{\circ}C$, and then standing for 1 hr at room temperature. The quality characteristics of Jeungpyun were evaluated based on physicochemical properties, total mold, texture analysis, and sensory evaluation. Results: The pH of Jeungpyun batter was significantly lower in J+1.0% GT and J+1.5% GT than J. The specific gravity, weight, volume, and specific volume of J+0.5% GT and J+1% GT was not significantly different, as compared to J. In color, L value decreased and a and b value increased based on the increase of green tea powder. The antifungal activity was the highest in J+1.5% GT, followed by J+1.0% GT, J+0.5% GT, and J, in order. Samples with added green tea powder showed decreased hardness, as compared with J; its effect was significant in J+1.0% GT and J+1.5% GT after storage for 1 day. In sensory evaluation, the color of Jeungpyun was darkened by the addition of green tea powder. The egg smell and hardness significantly decreased by addition of green tea powder. Based on quantitative description analyses, overall acceptability was the highest in J+1% GT. Conclusion: Therefore, 1% green tea powder was the optimal amount for preparing Jeungpyun with meringue. For simplification of the traditional manufacturing method, Jeungpyun could be produced with meringue and green tea powder, which has potent physiological activities.

The green tea market is rapidly growing and identifying the driving factors of consumers' liking for the green tea is important in the tea industries. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of manufacturing conditions of the green tea on its sensory characteristics, to elucidate its relationship with the consumer liking. A descriptive analysis and consumer acceptability test were conducted for various green tea samples. The samples differed with regard to the source of the tea, the amino acid content, and the processing methods including the roasting temperature. Partial least square regressions (PLS-R) were performed to establish the relationship between the descriptive data and the consumer acceptability data. The PLS-R results showed that the majority of the consumers liked a green tea which has a stronger 'sweet taste' and roasting-related flavors such as 'roasted barley' and 'burnt leaf'. Such sensory characteristics were produced when a sample made of tea leaves mixed with the tea stem was roasted at a high temperature ($250^{\circ}C$) in this study.
