Chemistry of Tea


Chemical Compounds in Tea

·         Polyphenols.
·         Amino Acids.
·         Enzymes. Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase are the most important enzymes in tea leaves. ...
·         Pigments. Plant pigments are responsible for absorbing light for photosynthesis. ...
·         Carbohydrates. ...
·         Methylxanthines.
·         Minerals. ...
·         Volatiles.

There are an estimated 30,000 polyphenolic compounds in tea4, flavonoids are arguably the most important group of polyphenols in tea and are the source of the many health claims surrounding tea, and specifically tea antioxidants. Within the flavonoid group, flavanols (also known as flavan-3-ols) are the most prevalent. Flavanols are also referred to as tannins, and during oxidation are converted to theaflavins and thearubigins—the compounds responsible for the dark color and robust flavors notably present in black teas.
            The major flavanols in tea are: catechin (C), epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is the most active of these catechins and is often the subject of studies regarding tea antioxidants. Tea flavanols are sometimes collectively referred to as catechins.
Besides flavanols, tea flavonoids also include flavonols, flavones, isoflavones, and anthocyanins; all of which contribute to the color of a tea’s infusion and its taste.


Amino Acids

Tea leaves contain many amino acids, the most abundant of which is theanine. In the tea field, sunlight converts amino acids to polyphenols, and as such; shade grown tea contains more amino acids than tea grown in direct sunlight. Some tea bushes are even deliberately shaded for several weeks before harvest to enhance the tea’s amino acid content. Theanine, more specifically L-Theanine is responsible for promoting alpha brain wave activity which promotes relaxation.

Methylxanthines




Methylxanthines in tea include the stimulant caffeine and two similar compounds: theobromine and theophylline. Methylxanthines also contribute to a bitter taste in the tea infusion. Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. Unlike many other psychoactive substances, it is legal and unregulated in nearly all parts of world.
Minerals
28 mineral elements have been found in the tea flush5. Compared to other plants, tea has a higher than average amount of: fluorine, manganese, arsenic, nickel, selenium, iodine, aluminum, and potassium5
Enzymes
Polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase are the most important enzymes in tea leaves
pigments :There are two major groups of pigments in fresh tea leaves: chlorophylls and carotenoids.

Chemistry of Milk


Milk = water(85- 90 %) + proteins + fats + lactose + minerals



Milk protein: Casein (80%) and Whey protein (20%). Casein miscelle is a chain of amino acids generally bounded by minerals and fats. Casein is a phoshoprotein and exist as a calicium salt, calicium caseinate. As a food source, casein supplies amino acids, carbohydrates, and the two inorganic elements calcium and phosphorus.
Lactoses molecular formula for lactose is C12H22O11. Lactose is formed from galactose and glucose units. Lactose is the main carbohydrate in milk. Lactose is responsible for drawing water into the milk as it is being formed in the mammary glands of mammals.

Milk fat is a mixture of different  fatty acids and glycerol.Milk fat is a mixture of different  fatty acids and glycerol.Albumins are globular proteins that are soluble in water and in dilute salt solutions. They are, however, denatured and coagulated by heat. The second most abundant protein types in milk are the lactalbumins. Once the caseins have been removed, and the solution has been made acidic, the lactalbumins can be isolated by heating the mixture to precipitate them. The typical albumin has a molecular weight of about 41,000. A third type of protein in milk is the lactoglobulins. They are present in smaller amounts than the albumins and generally denature and precipitate under the same conditions as the albumin.
Caseinates: A beneficial property of the casein molecule is its ability to form a gel or clot in the stomach, which makes it very efficient in nutrient supply. The clot is able to provide a sustained slow release of amino acids into the blood stream, sometimes lasting for several hours. Casein is the reason for milk being white opaque in visible spectrum.
Casein proteins are composed of the following amino acids:
  • 20.2% Glutamic Acid
  • 10.2% Proline
  •  8.3% Leucine*
  •  7.4% Lysine*
  •  6.5% Valine*
  •  6.4% Aspartic Acid
  •  5.7% Serine
  •  5.7% Tyrosine
  •  5.5% Isoleucine*
  •  4.5% Phenylalanine*
  •  4.4% Threonine*
  •  3.7% Arginine
  •  2.8% Histidine
  •  2.7% Alanine
  •  2.5% Methionine*
  •  2.4% Glycine
  •  1.1% Tryptophan*
  •  0.3% Cystine
