Abstract

CThis study used HPLC to analyze the contents of 7 kinds of catechins, 4 kinds of theaflavins, and 2 kinds of methylxanthines in the following 6 kinds of commercial Korean tea: 2 green, 2 black, 1 jasmine and loolong. The following ranges in the 13 tea components of the 6 samples by ethanol extract were evaluated in mg/g: (-)-epigallocatechin, 0(black tea and jasmine tea) to 14.19(green tea); (-)-catechin 0; (+)-epicatechin, 0.62(bran rice-green tea) to 2.91(black tea); (-)-epigallocatechin gallate, 4.59(black tea) to 43.96(jasmine tea); (-)-gallocatechin gallate, 0.58(black tea) to 5.80(jasmine tea); (-)-epicatechin gallate, 5.63(bran rice-ueen tea) to 48.06(jasmine tea): (-)-catechin gallate, 0.26(black tea): theaflavif 0 to 3.66(black tea): theaflavin-3-gallate, 0 to 6.94(black tea): theaflavin-3'-gallate, 0 to 4.01(black tea); theaflavin-3,3-digallte, 0 to 10.25(black tea); caffeine, 4.60(bran rice-peen tea) to 26.44(black tea); and theobromine, 0.10(bran rice-green tea) to 1.81(jasmine tea). The contents of all components were lower by water extract than by ethanol extract. Therefore, total catechin (100.55, 45.88 mg/g) and theobromine (1.81, 0.86 mg/g) contents in jasmine tea, and theaflavin content (24.88, 1.36 mg/g) in black tea by ethanol and water extract were the highest. Caffeine content was the highest in black tea(96.48 mg/g) for the ethanol extract, and in jasmine tea (12.38 mg/g) for the water extract.

본 연구는 국내에서 시판되고 있는 녹차, 현미녹차, 홍차 2종류, 오룡차 1종류 및 자스민 차 1종류의 티백 제품을 $80\%$ 에탄올과 물로 추출하여 7종의 catechins, 4종의 theaflavins 및 2종의 methylxanthins의 함량을 HPLC로 동시에 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 총 catechins의 함량은 에탄올과 물 추출 모두 자스민 차가 가장 높았으며 다음으로 에탄을 추출은 녹차, 홍차(II), 오룡 차, 현미 녹차, 홍차(I)의 순이었으며 물 추출은 홍차(II), 녹차, 현미 녹차, 오룡 차, 홍차(I)의 순이었다. 또한 두 추출법에서, 녹차, 현미녹차, 오룡차, 홍차(II)의 경우는 총catechi 중 EGCG가 차지하는 함량이 가장 높았으며 홍차(I)과 자스민 차는 ECG의 함량이 가장 높았다. 2. Theaflavin류는 TF, TF3G, TF3'G, TF33'G의 4종류가 홍차에만 분석되어 에탄을 추출은 홍차(I)과 홍차(II) 모두 TF33'G가 가장 높았으며 물 추출은 홍차(I)은 TF33'G가 홍차(II)는 TF가 가장 높았다. 3. Methylxanthin류로 caffeine과 theobromine은 에탄올과 물 추출에서 홍차(II)와 자스민차가 다른 차에 비하여 높았으며, 모든 시료에서 caffeine이 theobromine 보다 훨씬 더 많은 함량을 보였다. 이상의 결과, 13종의 차 성분 중 홍차(I)에서 caffeine이 가장 높은 함량을 나타낸 것을 제외하고는 대부분의 차에서 catechin 중 ECG와 EGCG의 함량이 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 이 성분이 차의 기능성 물질로 지배적인 물질이었다.
