The preparative technology of theanine from the aqueous phase of tea polypheonls production was investigated. Firstly, retreating the aqueous liquids with ZTC-II, then, Separating the clarifying liquids by three kinds of ultra-filtration, the crude theanine (>60%) can be obtained from the filtrated liquid by using the JAD-2000 which is a kind of macroporous resin with weak polarity. High purity theanine (>98%) can be obtained through preparative high performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) with C18 column. Results showed that proteins and pectin compounds were removed over 97% and 89% respectively, after flocculating and ultra-filtration. The removing rate of tea polypheonls and soluble sugar was less than 9% and the theanine was reserved above 93%. Crude theanine and high purity theanine were produced through JAD-2000 and the C18 column for prep-HPLC, the final recovering rate and purity of theanine were 71.5%, 61.2% and 71.3%, 98.3% respectively.
