Tea: A native source of antimicrobial agents

Abstract: Tea (Camellia sinensis) is one of the most popular nonalcoholic beverages, consumed by over two-thirds of the world's population because of its refreshing, mild stimulant and medicinal properties. It is processed in different ways in different parts of the world to give green, black, oolong, and pu-erh tea. Among all tea polyphenols, epigallocatechin-3-gallate has been responsible for much of the health promoting abilities of tea including anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antitumour, anti-oxidative, protectio… Show more

“…Tea has many biological activities, such as anticancer (Jankun et al, 1997), anti-obesity (Kuo et al, 2005), and antibacterial properties (Bansal et al, 2013;Keller et al, 2013). Tea catechins are a group of polyphenolic compounds, which have been generally recognized as the major bioactive constituents responsible for the health properties of green tea.…”

“…Atsižvelgiant į platų terapinį šios naudingos žaliavos veikimą, antimikrobinis aktyvumas "susilaukė dėmesio" dar visai neseniai [6]. Padidėjusį susidomėjimą lėmė stipriai progresuojantis patogeninių bakterijų atsparumas įvairiems antibiotikams [7]. Mokslininkai, baimindamiesi antibiotikų eros pabaigos, vis dažniau atsigręžia į natūralius produktus ir ieško dar mažai ištirtų augalinės kilmės antimikrobinių medžiagų, kurios tikimasi bus panaudos naujų antibiotikų kūrimui, ar bent kaip pagalbinė medžiaga su terapiniais antibiotikais, siekiant sustiprinti veikimą [8].…”

“…Tai aktualus tyrimo objektas farmacijoje ir medicinoje, kadangi Camellia sinensis L žaliavoje iš bendrųjų fenolinių junginių išsiskiria sąlyginai dideliu kiekiu lyginant su jų aptikimo kiekiu kituose maisto produktuose. Kitų flavonoidų, kaip flavanolių (kvercetinas, kempferolis, myricetinas) ir flavanų (apigeninas, luteolinas) aptinkami santykinai mažesni kiekiai [7]. Juodosios arbatos gamybos metu dėl vykstančios oksidacijos polimerizacijos procese flavan-3-oliai virsta bisflavanoliais, teaflavinais (TF) ir tearubuginais (TR).…”
