Description:
Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), also known as epigallocatechin 3gallate,
is the ester of epigallocatechin and gallic acid, and is a type of catechin.
EGCG is the most abundant catechin in tea and is a potent antioxidant that
may have therapeutic applications in the treatment of many disorders
(e.g. cancer).
It is found in green tea but not black tea; during black tea production,
the catechins are converted to theaflavins and thearubigins. In a high
temperature environment, an epimerization change is more likely to occur;
however as exposure to boiling water for 30 straight minutes only leads to
a 12.4% reduction in the total amount of EGCG, the amount lost in a brief
exposure is insignificant. In fact, even when special conditions were used
to create temperatures well above that of boiling water, the amount lost
scaled up only slightly.
