Extraction optimization of polyphenols from organic tea leaves (Camellia sinensis)

Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water. Tea exhibits medicinal properties such as scavenger of free radicals, cancer prevention, antimutagenic activity and coronary diseases prevention. The beneficial of the tea is related to its phenolic contents. Th...

Extraction optimization of polyphenols from organic tea leaves (Camellia sinensis)
description Tea (Camellia sinensis) is the most widely consumed beverage in the world next to water. Tea exhibits medicinal properties such as scavenger of free radicals, cancer prevention, antimutagenic activity and coronary diseases prevention. The beneficial of the tea is related to its phenolic contents. This study was to optimize the polyphenols extraction from an organic tea sample (T01) collected from Sabah Tea Plantation, Ranau.
