Abstract: Determination of catechin in puer teas by spectrophotometry method was described, the coefficient is 94%~105% and the efficient of variation is 1.00 %. The effect of puer teas on the scavenge of·OH was measured by the chemiluminescence system of 1,10-phenanthroline-cuprous chloride-hydrogen peroxide and flow-injection technology. The optimum conditions were investigated by examining the influence of various factors. The results show that the contents of catechin and scavenging ·OH radical in puer-tea were decreased with the increasing of time and temperature of storage.

Key words: puer teas, catechin, chemiluminescence, flow-injection
