Abstract

Abstract:

In the study, the reaction conditions of potassium dichromate and tea polyphenols (TP) were investigated and the spectrophotometric method for the determination of total tea polyphenols in green tea was established. In strong sulfuric acid medium potassium dichromate can oxidize tea polyphenols and its absorbance is reduced while tea polyphenols are added, and the reduced value is linear over the range of the concentration of total tea polyphenols. The linear range of the method is 0.00 to 7.21×10-5 g/ml tea polyphenols with the correlation coefficient of 0.9994, the RSD is 1.09% to 2.44% (n=5), and the recovery rate is 98.3% to 103.6%. These experimental results are consistent with those obtained by permanganometric titration. Furthermore, the instruments used in the method are simple and cheap. Therefore, this developed method can be successfully applied to the determination of total tea polyphenols in green tea.

Key words: tea polyphenols, potassium dichromate, visible spectrophotometry
