Abstract

Abstract: Theasinensins (TSs) are produced by oxidation of catechins. Catechins, due to tea rolling, come into and contact with enzymes during tea processing, TSs are generated. The research achievements indicated the physiological function, recently, rising concern of TSs. The article summarized the discovery of TSs, mechanism of TSs formation, analytical method, separation and preparation, pharmacological action.

Key words: tea, catechins, dehydrotheasinensins, theasinensins, theaflavins
