White tea is just made by drying only without any other normal fermentation process which is adopted for other tea varieties. The biochemical components like flavonoids, total polyphenols, tannins and catcehins are prominent in white tea. Catechin content is higher than tannin content. All those active components are higher in methanolic extracts than their corresponding aqueous extracts. The higher antioxidant activities are manifestations of all those active components. Higher antimicrobial…

Enhancement of antimicrobial activities of whole and sub-fractionated white tea by addition of copper (II) sulphate and vitamin C against Staphylococcus aureus; a mechanistic approach
TLDR
WT showed no efficacy in the combinations tested, while WTF was enhanced with copper (II) sulphate and further with vitamin C and vitamin C plus WTF all reduced the viability of S. aureus.
White and green teas (Camellia sinensis var. sinensis): variation in phenolic, methylxanthine, and antioxidant profiles.
TLDR
The results suggest certain green and white tea types have comparable levels of catechins with potential health promoting qualities, which makes the latter tea type a potential substitute for people interested in consuming polyphenols for health reasons.

Determination of in vitro antidiabetic effects of Zingiber officinale Roscoe
TLDR
Antidiabetic potential of Zingiber officinale was mainly through inhibition of the glucose diffusion and to a limited extent by reducing the glycation, but further studies are needed to determine in vitro effects of therapeutic potential by restraining postprandial glucose absorptions and plasma protein glycations in diabetic subjects.
