Effect of Green Tea on Volatile Sulfur Compounds in Mouth Air

Abstract: Summary Many food products are claimed to be effective in controlling halitosis. Halitosis is caused mainly by volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as H 2 S and CH 3 SH produced in the oral cavity. Oral microorganisms degrade proteinaceous substrates to cysteine and methionine, which are then converted to VSCs. Most treatments for halitosis focus on controlling the number of microorganisms in the oral cavity. Since tea polyphenols have been shown to have antimicrobial and deodorant effects, we have investigat… Show more

“…H 2 S had the lowest score, which was 0.27 ± 0.39 ng/10 ml for PS group and 0.33 ± 0.34 ng/10 ml for EOS group. This showed that oral malodor may arise if there is no oral activity done in 4 hrs [12]. That condition was proved by the mean of CH 3 SH >0.5 ng/10 ml and the mean of (CH 3 ) 2 S >0.2 ng/10 ml, which is the threshold by which an odor can be smelled by the human sense of smell, according to Tonzetich criteria.…”

“…This was consistent with the Acceptance Program Guideline released by the American Dental Association at the Council on Scientific Affairs 2003. According to Tonzetich, the effect from oral activity will disappear in 3 hrs [12]. Following the initial measurement of oral malodor parameters, participants were requested to consume one type of oral refresher strip (randomized as either EOS or PS).…”
