Camellia Sinensis tea powder and Psidium Guajava tea powder, TFTR analysis, Sensory Evaluation, Phytochemical analysis and GC-MS analysis

After water, most people in the world drink tea. The tea made from guava leaves is rich in antioxidants. The quality parameters that are tested in C.sinensis tea include TF (Theaflavins) – 1.15, TR (Thearubigin) – 10.54, HPS (High Polymerized Substances) – 3.77 and TLC (Total Liquor Colour) – 3.75. In the sensory evaluation of C.sinensis tea the colour, taste, odour and flavours are tested. The quantitative phytochemical analysis of C.sinensis tea contains Polyphenol – 22.93, Catechins – 15.37, Amino acids – 1.55 and Caffeine – 2.3. The GC-MS (Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry) analysis of C.sinensis tea contains 7 compounds and the major compound is 2,4 cyclohexadiene. P.guajava tea tested for various quality parameters such as TF – 0.56, TR – 15.77, HOS – 13.27 and TLC – 4.82. According to the sensory evaluation, the colour, taste, odour and flavours of P.guajava tea gives more health benefits than C.sinensis tea. P.guajava tea has low green leaf parameters that include Polyphenol – 16.06, Catechins – 4.88, Amino acids – 0.53, Caffeine – 0.04 as compared to C.sinensis tea. GC-MS (Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry) analysis of P.guajava tea contains 10 compounds and the major compound is 1,2 Bis(trimethylsilyl) benzene. The combination of C.sinensis tea and P.guajava tea contains 12 compounds and the major compound is 1,2 Benzisothiazol-3-amine tbdms. In this study, I recognize the P.guajava tea has more good health benefits compared to C.sinensis tea.
