Description
Summary:The effects of the added β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) in the tea infusion extraction on color quality of green tea (Camellia sinensis) infusion have been investigated in detail. Due to the added β-CD, the color of the tea infusion can be brightened effectively, and meanwhile, compared to conventional extraction, the retentions of tea polyphenols, catechins, and chlorophyll have also been proved to be increased greatly. Furthermore, the additive β-CD can also increase the viscosity of the tea infusion. In addition, the existing β-CD can lower the oxygen solubility ratio in tea infusions effectively, from which a high-quality tea infusion can be prepared ready for further processing.
