Structural Characterization and Antioxidant Activities of 2 Water‐Soluble Polysaccharide Fractions Purified from Tea ( <i>Camellia sinensis</i> ) Flower

Abstract

At present, commonly low-grade tea is preferred to extract the tea polysaccharide, to take full advantage of tea flower resource to extract polysaccharides can greatly reduce the cost of tea products. Thus, the search for plant-derived biomaterials from this study could generate natural value-added products from underutilized tea plant waste and used as a medicinal agent against chronic health problems, such as cancers, aging, and atherosclerosis caused by reactive free radicals that produced from oxidation.
