POLYPHENOL COMPOSITION

摘要

Provided is a polyphenol composition originating in Camellia sinensis which has relieved harsh taste. Specifically provided is a polyphenol composition which comprises flavonol aglycons and flavonol glycosides originating in Camellia sinensis, characterized in that the mass ratio [(B)/(A)] is 0.01 to 18, wherein: (A) represents the total amount of flavonol aglycons contained in the solid matters of the polyphenol composition after hydrolysis, which is measured by high-performance liquid chromatography; and (B) represents the total amount of polyphenols contained in the solid matters of the polyphenol composition, which is measured by the ferrous tartarate method.
