Green tea catechins during food processing and storage: A review on stability and detection

TLDR
In this paper, a pseudo first-order kinetic model has been developed and validated for the epimerization and degradation of tea catechins in several food systems, whereas the rate constant of reaction kinetics followed Arrhenius equation.

Classification of raw Pu-erh teas with different storage time based on characteristic compounds and effect of storage environment

TL;DR: The contents of catechins, flavonoids, purine alkaloids and amino acids in raw Pu-erh teas (RPTs) of a storage time scale below 10 years and old RPTs stored in Yunnan and Guangdong Province, were determined by HPLC as discussed by the authors.

Physicochemical and oxidative stability of a soybean oleosome-based emulsion and its in vitro digestive fate as affected by (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate

TL;DR: The in vitro gastrointestinal results suggested that EGCG retarded the digestion rate of SOE based on a 20% reduction in free fatty acid release, which will help food technologists to design slow-digestive oleosome-based products that will satisfy health-conscious consumers' demand for healthier food choices.
