<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide bottled black tea drink having high transfer amount to blood in the intake of the equal amount of non-polymer catechins, excellent in absorbability and usable for health promotion. <P>SOLUTION: The black tea drink contains dissolved catechins of non-epicatechins (A) and epicatechins (B) each as a non-polymer component. The non-epicatechin (A) contains catechin, gallocatechin, catechin gallate and gallocatechin gallate. The epicatechin (B) contains epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate and epigallocatechin gallate. The content of the (A) component and the (B) component satisfies the following formulas; formula: (A) + (B) = 0.1-0.3 wt.% and formula: (B)/[(A) + (B)] = 0.5-0.95. The drink contains 0.0001-10.0 wt.% of sweetener and is added with tea extract to adjust pH4.7-6.5. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
