Abstract:

In the present study, two components of the theabrownins extracted from Pu-er tea were obtained through
gradient methanol-water extraction, thin-layer chromatography and dialysis, and both components were identified by infrared
spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectroscopy. The results
showed that compound I was a polyphenol polymer with carboxyl groups and a large number of polysaccharide residues
(mainly galactose residues) and compound II may be C3H8Na2O9P2.

Key words: theabrownins, component, isolation and purification, identification
