according to their corresponding manufacturing processes
respectively. The
in vitro
inhibitory activities of the water extracts from the three tea products towards αglucosidase were investigated by Colormetry using maltose as the substrate. Black tea and dark tea showed higher inhibitory activities than oolong tea. On the other hand
the mouse Raw264.7 cells were induced into foam cells by incubation with oxidized low density lipoprotein to examine the protective effects of the three tea products. The cellular contents of total cholesterols was detected by enzymatic colorimetry.The results showed that dark tea processed the highest inhibitory activity on transformation of macrophage-to-foam cells. The inhibitory rates of dark tea
black tea and oolong tea were observed to be 73.29%
