The hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water system for the separation of theaflavins from black tea (Camellia sinensis) using high-speed counter-current chromatography

Theaflavins (TFs) from black tea leaves were separated using high-speed countercurrent chromatography (HSCCC). Isobutyl methyl ketone (4-methyl-2-pentanone) was used to separate the TFs from a hot water extract of black tea leaves. Three different compositions of the biphasic solvent system hexane–e...
