Abstract: (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was oxidized chemically and extracted under neutral, acidic condition value to obtain two extracts: fraction A (EOPA) and fraction B (EOPB). The antioxidant activities of EOP A, EOP B and EGCG were determined using a chemiluminescence technique. The components of two fractions were analyzed by HPLC-ESI-MS. Results showed that the EOP A possessed the strongest antioxidant activity in all test system followed by EGCG, EOP B in a decreasing order. HPLC-ESI-MS analysis showed that the oxidation products of EOP A and EOPB were all dimmers.

Key words: EGCG, oxidation products, chemiluminescence, antioxidant activity, HPLC-ESI-MS
