Extraction yield, and total polyphenol and flavonoid contents of TB teas.
Roasting Condition | Brew Method | Extraction Yield (%) | Total Polyphenol Content (mg GAE (1)/g Dry Weight) |
Total Flavonoid Content (mg RE (2)/g Dry Weight) |
---|---|---|---|---|
NRTB (3) | RTLT (4) | 2.12 | 3.58 ± 0.31 (5) a (6) | 1.86 ± 0.28 a |
HTST | 0.23 | 4.83 ± 0.40 b | 2.59 ± 0.51 a | |
RTB | RTLT | 4.81 | 11.07 ± 0.55 c | 6.03 ± 0.93 c |
HTST | 0.28 | 4.98 ± 0.44 b | 3.47 ± 0.84 b |
(1) GAE, gallic acid equivalent, (2) RE, rutin equivalent. (3) NRTB, non-roasted Tartary buckwheat; RTB, roasted Tartary buckwheat. (4) RTLT, room temperature (25–30°C) for 24 h; HTST, high temperature (85–90°C) for 3 min. (5) Values are mean ± SD (n = 3). (6) Different letters represent significant differences among extracts, as determined by the least significant difference test at p < 0.05.
