Abstract

After storing green tea powder for three months at three different temperatures (-20, 4, and $20^{\circ}C$) with three different relative humidities (RHs) (23, 69, and 81%), the chemical quality was evaluated with green tea, which was prepared by soaking 1.5 g of the powder into 100 mL of distilled water at $70^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Total phenolic contents, total flavanol contents, and ascorbic acid contents of green tea powder stored at $4^{\circ}C$ with 23% RH changed from 267.5, 49.4, and 24.2 mg/g to 287.1, 44.9, and 36.9 mg/g, respectively, compared to the powder before storage. EGC and EGCG, the main catechins of green tea, also changed from 16.9 and 27.3 mg/g to 24.3 and 36.5, g/g, respectively, after storage for 3 months at $4^{\circ}C$ with 23% RH. However, when the green tea powder was stored at -20 or $20^{\cric}C$ with higher RH such as 69 and 81%, the chemical compounds were significantly decreased. The results indicate that temperature and RH are important during storage of green tea powder, and low RH and refrigerated condition ($-4^{\cric}C$) are preferable to increase or preserve the chemical compounds of the tea.

분말 녹차를 상대습도(23, 69, 81%)와 온도(-20, 4, $20^{\circ}C$)를 달리하여 3달간 저장한 후, 1.5 g에 100 mL을 첨가하여 추출물을 제조하여 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라바놀 함량, 아스코르브산 함량, 카테킨 함량의 변화를 조사하였다. 상대습도 23%, $4^{\circ}C$의 조건에 저장한 경우에서 총 페놀 함량, 총 플라바놀 함량, 아스코르브산 함량이 가장 높았는데 각각 287.1mg/g, 44.9 mg/g, 36.9 mg/g의 값을 보였다. 이는 저장 초기의 각각의 측정값인 267.5 mg/g, 49.4 mg/g, 24.2 mg/g에 비해 총 페놀과 아스코르브산은 증가하였고, 총 플라바놀 함량은 감소하였다. 카테킨류의 경우에도 상대습도 23%, $4^{\circ}C$에 저장하였을 때 가장 높았는데 주된 카테킨인 EGC와 EGCG는 초기의 16.9와 27.3 mg/g에서 3달 후에는 각각 24.3과 36.5 mg/g으로 증가하였다. 또한 카페인도 같은 조건에서 초기의 20.7 mg/g에서 3달 후에는 30.7 mg/g으로 증가하였다. 그러나 상대습도가 높고 온도가 $-20^{\circ}C$$20^{\circ}C$에 저장한 경우에는 상대적으로 각 성분들이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 분말 녹차의 상대습도와 저장 온도가 녹차의 품질 보존에 매우 중요하며, 낮은 습도에서 냉장 상태로 저장하는 것이 녹차의 품질 유지에 유리함을 의미한다.
