Tea Composition Analysis

Tea is becoming increasingly popular as an ingredient in dietary supplements and functional foods. Tea has a complex chemical composition, containing over 2,000 components, consisting of 3.5% to 7.0% inorganic substances and 93% to 96.5% organic substances. There are about 27 inorganic mineral elements in tea, including phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, magnesium, manganese, fluorine, aluminum, calcium, sodium, iron, copper, zinc, selenium, and many others. The organic compounds in tea are mainly proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, alkaloids, tea polyphenols, organic acids, pigments, aroma components, vitamins, saponins, sterols, etc. In the last decade, interest in the analysis of tea’s chemical composition has increased dramatically due to the large amount of scientific data showing the positive effects of tea on human health.

Solutions

Knowledge of the chemical composition of tea helps, on the one hand, to assess its quality and, on the other hand, to monitor and manage the conditions of its growth, processing, and storage. In particular, this knowledge has made it possible to establish the relationship between the chemical composition of tea and its properties by identifying the tea components that determine its aroma and flavor. Therefore, the evaluation of tea quality relies not only on subjective sensory evaluation but also on objective physicochemical methods, especially the determination of the components of tea that are most beneficial to human health.
