Abstract
Green tea, a widely consumed beverage with a long history of traditional use has garned renewed scientific interest due to its potential health benefits. Unlike other tea types, green tea undergoes minimal oxidation and thus preserving its potent catechins and antioxidant properties. This review devels into the fascinating chemistry of green tea, exploring how processing steps like fixation and rolling, shape its distinct profile. We will further explore the potential health benefits associated with green tea consumption, acknowledging the existing research focus on tea polyphenols and aiming to provide a broader perspective on its potential health impact. Finally, the review examines the emerging application of green tea extract fortification in food matrices. This innovative approach offers exciting possibilities for enhancing food stability and sensory appeal while potentially contributing to a range of health benefits.
期刊介绍：
eFood is the official journal of the International Association of Dietetic Nutrition and Safety (IADNS) which eFood aims to cover all aspects of food science and technology. The journal’s mission is to advance and disseminate knowledge of food science, and to promote and foster research into the chemistry, nutrition and safety of food worldwide, by supporting open dissemination and lively discourse about a wide range of the most important topics in global food and health.
The Editors welcome original research articles, comprehensive reviews, mini review, highlights, news, short reports, perspectives and correspondences on both experimental work and policy management in relation to food chemistry, nutrition, food health and safety, etc. Research areas covered in the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
● Food chemistry
● Nutrition
● Food safety
● Food and health
● Food technology and sustainability
● Food processing
● Sensory and consumer science
● Food microbiology
● Food toxicology
● Food packaging
● Food security
● Healthy foods
● Super foods
● Food science (general)
