Complexing of Green Tea Catechins with Food Constituents and Degradation of the Complexes by Lactobacillus plantarum
Complexing of green tea catechins with food constituents and their hydrolysis by tannase-producing Lactobacillus plantarum strains, were investigated. Our observations indicated that 1) epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) and other catechin galloyl esters bound with food ingredients (i.e., proteins) to...
