technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of tea processing, and more specifically, relates to a method for increasing the yield of theaflavins from catechins in fresh tea leaves. Background technique
[0002] As a mainstream tea drink in the world, black tea has attracted much attention for its polyphenolic compound theaflavins. Theaflavins were originally identified by Roberts (Roberts A T H. the phenolic substances of manufactured tea (I).
