Ultraviolet B (UVB) Photosensitivities of Tea Catechins and the Relevant Chemical Conversions

Ultraviolet B (UVB) Photosensitivities of Tea Catechins and the Relevant Chemical Conversions

Ultraviolet B (UVB) photosensitivities of eight catechins were screened. In both water and ethanol, epicatechin (EC, 575 μM) and catechin (C, 575 μM) exhibited low photostabilities under 6 h UVB radiation with the generation of yellow photoproducts, while other catechins (epigallocatechin gallate, e...
