Abstract:
Wuyi rock tea (WRT), which is rich in polyphenol and has significant health benefits, is a top tea variety in China. Five typical WRT samples, both extracts(TE) and infusions(TI) were used for the studies of the polyphenol profiles and antioxidant activities. Total phenolic contents in both TI and TE were determined by using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, and then caffeine, catechins and teaflavins were determined by HPLC method. Subsequently, ABTS, DPPH and FRAP assays were used to assess their antioxidant activities. Finally, Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between polyphenol components and antioxidant activities of WRT. The results indicated that total phenol contents of TI and TE were 0.67mg GAE/mL and 3.89 mg GAE/mL; caffeine contents were 126.07‱, 181.86‱; total catechins were 142.49‱, 423.09‱; total theaflavins were 1.14‱, 3.88‱; ABTS scavenging activities were 6.43 mg GAE/g, 140.27 mg GAE/g; DPPH scavenging activities were 9.14 mg GAE/g, 182.66 mg GAE/g; ferric reducing abilities were 6.18 mg GAE/g, 101.44 mg GAE/g. Moreover, significant positive correlation between total phenolic contents of WRT and their antioxidant activities was found by using Pearson correlation analysis(P<0.05). This study may be helpful for the further understanding of the nutritional values of WRT. © 2018, Editorial Office of Journal of CIFST. All right reserved.
