1 Comparative Studies of the Chemical Constituents of Green Tea A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Master Degree of Science in Chemistry (Analytical Chemistry) By Tharwat Nabil Abdul-Jabbar King Abdul Aziz University - Jeddah ١٤٢٩ A.H ٢٠٠٨ A.D

2 ١. Introduction ١.١. Historical overview: Tea is one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world (Cheng, ٢٠٠٤ ; Vinson, ٢٠٠٠). All tea types come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant (Fig.١.١), which is a member of theaceae family. The ancient use of tea as a beverage has been practised by mankind between ٥٠٠-٥٠٠٠ years ago (Gutman and Ryu, ١٩٩٦). Camellia sinensis tree is an evergreen shrub or tree (Alschuler, ١٩٩٨ ; Graham, ١٩٩٢). It can grow up to ١٦ m tall. Tea leaves alternate, exstipulate and lanceolate to obovate up to ٣٠ cm long, ٢ ٥ cm broad and pubescent. The tree sometimes becoming glabrous, serrate, acuminate, flowers ١ ٣ in axillary or subterminal cymes, deflexed, ٢ ٥ cm broad, white or pinkish, fragrant, actinomorphic, sepals and petals ٥ ٧, pedicels ٥ ١٥ mm long; approximately ٥٠٠ seeds/ kg (Ferrara et.al., ٢٠٠١; Pister et.al., ٢٠٠١). Three major types of tea are well known and are namely: black tea, green tea and oolong tea come from the same Camellia sinensis plant (Fig.١.١) as reported by Chow and Kramers, ١٩٩٠ and Duke and Atchley, ١٩٨٤. The main difference between the three tea types depends on the fermentation step during the processing. Traditional Chinese medicine has recommended the use of

3 green tea for headaches, pains, enhancement of immune defenses, detoxification and as an energizer (Duke and Waine, ١٩٨١ ; Leung, ١٩٨٠). The worldwide production of tea in ٢٠٠١ was over ٣ million tons as reported by Shehata et.al., ٢٠٠٤. The greatest production (about half of the total world production) comes from China and India. Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Kenya together account for another quarter of the total production. The other production countries of tea at lower scale are: Japan, Bangladesh, Argentina, Malawi and Tanzania (Chang and Yabuki, ٢٠٠٣). The quality of tea differs according to the climate condition and soil (Khaleel, ٢٠٠٤). The methods of harvesting and processing of the tea leaves determines the tea type and the content of the flavonoids (polyphenolic compounds) responsible for its chracteristics. The production process plays an important role on differentiating between the three types of tea (Alschuler, ١٩٩٨). ١.٢. Tea types: ١.٢.١. Black tea: Over seventy eight percent of the black tea are consumed in Europe, India, North America and North Africa (Chow and Kramer, ١٩٩٠; Chung et.al., ٢٠٠٣; Mackay and Blumberg, ٢٠٠٠). According to the Beilenson, ١٩٩٥, the processing of black tea consists of four steps namely: i-withering, ii-rolling,

5 Abstract The overall work presented in this thesis can be summarized as follow: - The anions fluoride, chloride, nitrate, phosphate and sulfate in the twelve selected green tea samples are present at acceptable concentration. The average concentration of the investigated anions at five min contact time in boiled water followed the sequence: F - ٣-٢- > PO ٤ > SO ٤ > Cl - - > NO ٣ - The mean distribution of the tested free ions in the twenty nine green tea leaves followed the order: K >P > Mg > Mn > Ca > Al > Si > Zn > Ni > Cu > Ba > Fe > Sr > Na > Mo > V - The total content and the chemical speciation (labile free ion and complex species of the element) of some selected metal ions (Al, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe) and P in the tea sample was also performed. The results revealed that, the amount of complexed metal ions in particular Al is much higher than that present labile on boiled water. - The average concentration of caffeine, catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin ٣- gallate and epigallocatechin ٣- gallate in the infusion tea leaves in boiled water for five min employing HPLC at ٢٠٥ nm were found in the range ٠.٠٨٦-٢.٢٣, ٠.١١٣-٢.٩٤, ٠.٥٨-١٠.٢٢, ٠.١٩-٢٤.٩١, ٠.٢٢-١٣.٨٨ and ١.٠١-٤٣.٣٤ mg g -١, respectively. The content of caffeine and catechins in the tested tea samples followed the sequence: EGCG > EGC > ECG > EC > C > Caffeine - The performance of the employed HPLC method was determined from the calculated values of the number (N) and the height equivalent to the theoretical plates (HETP) and the separation factor (R s ). The average values of N, HETP from the chromatograms at ١٠ µg ml -١ for the four catechins: EC, EGC, EGCG and ECG were found in the range ٢.٦ ١٠⁴ ± ١.٢ ١٠ ٣ and١.٧ ١٠-٣ ± ٤.٧ ١٠-٤ cm, respectively. The value of R s calculated from the chromatogram for EGCG and EC was found equal ١.٧ ± ٥.٥٣ ١٠-٢. The asymmetry (As) and capacity (k`) factors for the four catechins were found equal ١.٠ and ٢.٩٧, respectively. The lower limit of detection (LOD) of the employed HPLC procedure for some catechins were found in the range ٠.٠٠٤ ٠.٠٥ µg ml-١ and the values of lower limit of quantification (LOQ) were found in the range ٠.٠١ ٠.١٧ g ml -١. The method was applied successfully for the determination of (+)-catechin even at trace and ultra trace concentration. The method was found rapid, ideal for routine analysis, reproducible, precise and accurate.
