Tea Polyphenols The polyphenols are the active players in green tea, mediating both taste profile and biological actions. From a chemical perspective, green tea polyphenols are catechins, phytochemicals composed of several linked ring-like structures. Attached to each
structure are chemical tags called phenol groups, and because there are many phenol groups, these catechins are called polyphenols.
In native green tea, approximately 15-30% of the weight of the leaf is composed of polyphenols; over 50% of this polyphenol fraction is comprised of (-) Epigallocatechin Gallate(EGCG), the most biologically active and influential polyphenol in green tea. Other components include the unique amino acid theanine, carotenoids, chiorophyll and caffeine.
Anthocyanidins, plant pigments also found in Bilberry, Ginkgo biloba and pine bark extracts (Pycnogenol), are also found in green tea. Caffeine occurs in green tea leaves at a level of 3%; brewed green tea contains approximately 35-50 mg of caffeine per cup, contrasted to a cup of coffee, which contains between 75-95mg.
EGCG has been put to use as a potent antioxidant, both in food production and in animal research studies. The multiple available phenolic groups capture pro-oxidants and free radicals,
extending the "lifespan" of the likes of vegetable oils and cell compartments. Phenolic groups are not new to nutritional supplement-oriented individuals: the active portion of the vitamin
E molecule is a phenolic group, indicated by the -ol ending, tocopherol. This also implies that protected phenolic groups, like dry/esterified forms of vitamin E, are biologically inactive as
antioxidants, as the free phenol portion is the principal site of antioxidant action. Green tea polyphenols, and especially EGCG, have been shown to not only protect against undesirable pro-oxidant
attack (Cell Biophys 14:175,1989;PrevMed 21:520,1992), but also to detoxify radicals produced from the environmental toxin paraquat (Carcinogenesis 10:1003,1989). Additionally,
EGCG has been shown to be over 200 times more potent than vitamin E in protecting fats in the brain, which are exceptionally susceptible to oxidative stress (Chem Pharm Bull 38:1049,1990).
