Tea and Tea Products: Chemistry and

While the health benefits of green tea are well-documented, researchers have only recently turned their attention to the action and health benefits of other teas. Tea and Tea Products: Chemistry and Health-Promoting Propertiesprovides extensive coverage of the chemistry, biology, and health promoting properties of most varieties including black, green, oolong, white and Pu-erh. Written by leading natural product and nutritional experts, this book presents comprehensive and up-to-date perspectives on tea components that delve into taste components, flavor chemistry and stability, as well as the molecular biology of polyphenols, such as catechins and theaflavins. The text also discusses production and manufacturing aspects.
