## Abstract A myriad of health claims are being made in favor of the consumption of green tea. However, mostly due to the easy availability and greater than ever popularity of highly concentrated green tea extracts, sometimes combined with an attitude of more‐is‐better, certain health risks of gree

✦ Synopsis
The free radical scavenging activity of Theu sinensis leaf extract was evaluated with a chemical test involving diphenylpicrylhydrazyl radical (DPPH). The hot aqueous green tea extract demonstrated antiradical activity comparable with rutin and vitamin E used as a standard. Liquid-liquid fractionation monitored by scavenging radical bioassay followed by preparative high pressure liquid chromatography led to catechin derivatives. The antiradical activity of the main component of tea leaves was identified as epigallocatechin gallate the major component demonstrating activity.

## Abstract In the current work, phenolic acids were analysed and their radical scavenging activity evaluated by CE, including the quantification of overlapping peaks by applying the multivariate curve resolution (MCR) method. To investigate radical scavenging activity, the solution of phenolic aci
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the role of individual Ñavanols in the antimutagenic potential of green tea. Aqueous extracts of green tea were fractionated into four fractions, each of which was fully deÐned with respect to its content of ([)-epigallocatechin gallate, ([)-epicatechin g
