The Basic Procedure of MANUfACTURiNG GABA Tea
Anaerobic treatment is the key step for manufacturing GABA tea The basic procedures for manufacturing GABA tea with different degrees of fermentation are shown in figure 4 . 2 .93 To prevent the loss of GABA produced by anaerobic fermentation, the processes of pan blanching, rolling, and drying have to be carried out right after anaerobic fermentation in order to fix the content of GABA in the resultant tea. For fermented-type GABA tea such as oolong and black teas, anaerobic fermentation must...
The Manufacturing Of Gaba Tea
Concerning the quality of GABA tea, the content of GABA in GABA tea should be greater than 150 mg 100 g of product . The higher the amount of GABA, the better the quality of the GABA tea will be Therefore, how to increase the amount of GABA in tea is an essential and important task FIGURE 4.1 The pathway for the formation of GABA in tea.

Antimicrobial Activity
A recent study showed that white tea has better antimicrobial function than green tea. White tea extract WTE may have prophylactic applications in retarding growth of bacteria that cause Staphylococcus infections, Streptococcus infections, pneumonia, and dental caries 25 White tea is very effective in inactivating bacterial viruses Results obtained with a bacterial virus suggest that WTE may have an antiviral effect on human pathogenic viruses . Studies have also indicated that WTE has an...
Conclusions
GABA is important for health, and its content decreases as we get older In order to avoid disease, we need to consume GABA . It has been found that fermented soybean, mulberry leaf, turtle, germinated unpolished rice, yogurt, and GABA tea are rich in GABA Among them, naturally produced GABA tea is the richest source of GABA In addition, GABA tea is readily available, and drinking GABA tea has no side effects Blood pressure and heart rate in SHR with different treatments Systolic pressure mmHg 2...

Addition of Sodium Glutamate Solution
Nesumi105 reported a method to increase the GABA content in manufactured tea by soaking fresh tea leaves in sodium glutamate solution combined with infrared irradiation . The GABA content could increase to 2 . 89 mg g and 2 . 81 mg g for spring and summer teas, respectively, after soaking in water for 3 hr and treating with infrared irradiation, as compared with the increases of 1 . 6 mg g and 1 .43 mg g for spring and summer teas, respectively, after soaking in water for 3 hr but with no...
The Biological Functions Of Gaba Tea
The most special characteristic of GABA tea is not having the original biological functions of tea, but having the functions of blood pressure moderation . 111 Although the catechins in tea have good benefits for reducing blood pressure, Hara et al . in 1987112 demonstrated that the mechanism for reducing blood pressure by catechins was due to their inhibition of angiotensin I converting enzyme ACE activity. For GABA tea, the biological function of blood pressure moderation was even more...
Green Tea Consumption
In 2005, global green tea production increased to 883.9 thousand tons, which accounted for 25.23 of global tea production . FAO8 projected that world green tea production would grow at a faster rate than black tea by 2 . 0 annually, to reach 1097.7 thousand tons by 2016 . Apart from being the largest tea producer, surpassing India in 2005, China is also the largest green tea producer and exporter, contributing 78 . 18 of global green tea production and 88.78 of global green tea exports in 2005...

Tea Consumption
Tea is a popular nonalcoholic healthy beverage around the world Its discovery dates back to an ancient Chinese legend that Chinese emperor Shen Nung in 2737 b . c . was boiling water under a wild tree and a few tea leaves fell into the water, which gave a refreshing, revitalizing brewing From that time, tea was used as an herbal medicine and chronically evolved to a healthy beverage Prior to the middle of the nineteenth century, all teas consumed in the West were produced in China At the end of...

Black Tea Manufacturing
Unlike the enzyme inactivation process of green tea, the enzyme activities are completely utilized in black tea processing to form the pigments theaflavin and thearubigin Although the processing methods vary with the producing regions, the general black tea processing is fresh tea leaves plucked withered rolled fermented dried . 2 Among those four steps, the fermentation process is crucial to the quality of the final black tea product, which is predominated with the oxidation of catechins and...
