Abstract Pruning at coffee plants is very important to maintain productivity, growing optimal, healthy and continuous. During pruning, a lot of leaves are wasted whereas contain bioactive compounds that can be used as drink tastes almost like beans. The purpose this research determine the influence type leaf (location on branch) processing technique resulting drink. This was conducted Trenggale...

The dissipation behavior of octachlorodipropyl ether (OCDPE) residues in fresh tea shoots and in tea prepared under field conditions was investigated, and the transfer of residues from brewed tea to tea infusion was determined. OCDPE levels in tea shoots, prepared tea, tea infusion, and spent tea leaves were determined using a sensitive and simple method. The dissipation of OCDPE is fairly slow...

This paper reports on the application of total luminescence spectroscopy to discriminate between seven different types of tea. Bottled liquid teas; Oolong tea, Green tea, Houji tea, Japanese black tea and tea leaves (Kenya tea, Assam tea and Ceylon tea). Total luminescence spectra were recorded by measuring the emission spectra in the range 300nm to 700 nm at excitation wavelengths from 250 nm ...

The objectives of this study were to determine the major components in tea leaves and tea extracts and to study the relationship between chemical content and antimutagenic activity of various tea extracts. The amount of catechins in various tea extracts was in the order: green tea (26.7%) > oolong tea (23.2%) > pouchong tea (15.8%) > black tea (4.3%). The amounts of caffeine and phenolic compou...

Every year lots of black tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) residue will produce in the factories. These residue are unusable whereas the bio active compounds can be extracted and used in the drag and food industries. Due to mentioned problems, this project was conducted years 2011 - 2012 with the aim to make a study on consecutive isolation of all bio active compounds from tea residu...

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to determine and compare antibacterial efficacy of aqueous extracts of black, green, and lemon tea of a commercially available brand. MATERIALS AND METHODS The well-diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of commercially available black tea, green tea, and lemon tea at three different concentrations (1.5 g, 5 g, and 7.5 g) aga...

Although China and India are the two largest tea-producing countries, the domestication origin and breeding history of the tea plant in these two countries remain unclear. Our previous study suggested that the tea plant includes three distinct lineages (China type tea, Chinese Assam type tea and Indian Assam type tea), which were independently domesticated in China and India, respectively. To d...

After water, tea is the world’s most widely consumed beverage. Tea is enjoyed by many people for its cooling and slightly bitter flavor and is known to have many particular health benefits [1-3]. There are several types of tea according to its fermentation processes such as black tea, oolong tea, white tea, yellow tea and green tea [4,5]. Green tea is, like many another type in general and gree...

Background High amounts of insoluble substrates exist in the traditional solid-state fermentation (SSF) system. The presence of these substrates complicates the determination of microbial biomass. Thus, enzyme activity is used as the sole index for the optimization of the traditional SSF system, and the relationship between microbial growth and enzyme synthesis is always ignored. This study was...

Pomegranate Juice (PJ) and Green Tea (GT) products have increased in popularity because of their beneficial health properties. Consumers look for healthier beverages, and rely on labels, claims, and product packaging when choosing a product. The objectives of this study were to determine (1) the sensory profiles and acceptance of PJ and GT blends; (2) whether additional information would have a...
