Abstract | Theanaphthoquinone (TNQ) is the initial and main oxidation product of theaflavin, a representative black tea pigment. Nevertheless, TNQ is virtually undetected in the high-performance liquid chromatography analysis of black tea leaves using photodiode array detection. To elucidate the degradation mechanism of theaflavin in the black tea production process, this study investigated the reaction of TNQ with epigallocatechin-3-O-gallate (EGCg), which is the most abundant polyphenol in tea leaves. In citrate-phosphate buffer solution at pH 6 and room temperature, TNQ reacted nonenzymatically with EGCg to afford three products, whose structures were determined on the basis of spectroscopic data. The results indicated that the double bond of the ortho-naphthoquinone moiety in TNQ reacted with the autoxidation product of EGCg. This study demonstrates novel reactions occurring in the process of theaflavin degradation, which might be involved in the formation of thearubigins, the major black tea pigments composing oligomeric catechin oxidation products. |
