Abstract: EGCG3″Me was isolated by preparative HPLC system from tea and identified by NMR and LC/MS. The influence of different extracting method on the EGCG3″Me content in tea was discussed, and a simple high performance liquid chromatography analytical method of EGCG3″Me was developed. Results showed that the analytical method showed a good linear relationship between the peak area and content of EGCG3″Me (R2=0.9998) and high reproducibility. The average recovery rate of EGCG3″Me was 95.48% and the relative standard deviation(RSD)was 3.31%. The EGCG3″Me concentration in tea infusion can reach highest when the tea sample was immersed in distilled water for 5 min at 90℃.
