Abstract
During tea processing, roasting significantly affects the transformation pathway of catechins. When (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and glucose were roasted at different pH values, the degree of degradation and isomerization of EGCG was the lowest at pH 7 and the highest at pH 8. Thirty-five products were found in the model reaction of EGCG and glucose under high temperatures, of which four EGCG–glucose adducts were identified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In addition, catechins, gallic acid, and theanine in tea with added glucose were significantly reduced during roasting. The contents of four EGCG–glucose adducts were increased significantly at 150 °C after 30 min and dropped gradually after 60 min. Therefore, based on the present study, EGCG could form crosslinks with glucose under high temperatures in a short time, which provides insight for tea processing and synthesis of catechin–sugar adducts.Funding Information
