The deodorizing effect of tea functional ingredients on methyl mercaptan (CH3SH) was studied in this investigation. The results indicated that green tea extracts, catechins and EGCG showed deodorizing negative effect on methyl mercaptan, while theaflavins was effective. When dissolved in pH10 alkaline solution, theaflavins showed extremely strong activity, and the effectiveness against methyl mercaptan reached 0.232 mg separately per 1 mg 40% theaflavins.
