The reductive effect of pectin on tea catechin astringency was investigated by using a taste sensor system and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The sensor analysis revealed that the astringency of gallate-type catechins (EGCg and ECg) was reduced by the addition of pectin, whereas that of non-gallate-type catechins (EGC and EC) hardly changed. Changes in the 1H-NMR chemical shifts of the catechins and pectin in mixed solutions showed that the gallate-type catechins formed complexes with pectin more closely…

Association of Catechin Molecules in Water: Quantitative Binding Study and Complex Structure Analysis.

Structural analyses of the complexes by ROESY experiments and density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the higher binding abilities of gallate-type catechins are due to providing multiple intermolecular interactions that remain effective in an aqueous environment, such as aromatic/aromatic or CH/π interactions.

Molecular interactions between 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol and pectin and antioxidant capacity of this complex in vitro.

Improvement of the Bitterness and Astringency of Green Tea by Sub-Critical Water Extraction

Green tea is known for its high content of functional catechins and is commonly consumed for its health-promoting effects. However, green tea catechins are highly bitter and astringent, and thus the…

Changes in the Content of Pectic Substances in Tea Leaves (Camellia sinensis L.) during Steam Processing of Green Tea

We examined the change in the content of pectic substances in tea leaves during the steaming of green tea. In four cultivars of tea leaves, water-soluble pectin (WSP) content increased with steaming…
