The main active substances in kombucha are polyphenol compounds (epigallocatechin gallate, epicatechin gallate, gallocatechin gallate, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, gallocatechin, and catechin), vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, and C), and organic acids (D-gluconic acid, and glucuronic acid). Several studies have reported that the main health benefits of kombucha include its energizing and detoxifying properties, in addition to anticancer and anti-aging effects. Sugar is a very important component necessary for glucose fermentation. However, this may result in increased consumption of calories depending on the sugar content. Therefore, this study investigated the quality characteristics of commercial kombucha and manufactured low-calorie kombucha (MLK) using alternative sweeteners (non-digestible maltodextrin, enzymatically modified stevia, or sucralose) and different levels of sugarcane content. The total soluble solids content, pH, color, organic acids, catechins, and caffeine content in kombucha during fermentation were then measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference in color. However, the pH of the MLK decreased from 5.4 to 2.81 during fermentation. Interestingly, the highest D-gluconic acid content was observed when 5% (w/v) sugarcane was added to the MLK and fermented for 16 days. The catechin contents did not change during fermentation. The caffeine content decreased from 2.00 ± 0.01 mg/100 mL to 0.94 ± 0.00 mg/100 mL. In conclusion, this study developed low-calorie kombucha using alternative sweeteners, which suggests a new trend in the manufacture of kombucha.","PeriodicalId":213854,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Tea Society","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132606365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The publication of this book suggests high interest in the new method of making tea, infusing tea of intellectual in Japan at the time. He described his thought of infusing tea by quoting a number of Chinese references. Rather than accepting a large number of Chinese literature as it is, he added his views by adopting them analytically based on his experience and preferences. His though of infusing tea, which was revealed through the book, aims to inspire grace by recognizing infusing tea as one of the elegant hobbies of literati. His view of tea inherited Baisao's view by retrospecting the spirit of tea to Lu yu and Lu Tong, the literati of Tang period, but he considered pleasure rather than performance. This pursuit of elegant and pleasure improved the uniqueness and professionalism of the method of infusing tea, and his view of tea could be followed by Ueda Akinari and other later literati tea lover.","PeriodicalId":213854,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Tea Society","volume":"1952 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129370987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most component analyses, Yunnan primary tea showed a slightly higher component content on average, but there were no significant differences compared to Gimhae primary tea. However, Gimhae primary tea had on average 5% higher total amino acids and it scored higher overall in the value of four taste sensors, excluding sour taste in a taste analysis using electronic tongues. This suggests that Gimhae primary tea has the potential to be a multi-flavored tea. Daesung-dong (T8), a Gimhae wild tea, which showed results similar to Yunnan tea in all its ingredients, is thus considered as a suitable alternative to Yunnan tea by making it appropriate for use as a fermented tea. for use as a fermented tea.","PeriodicalId":213854,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Tea Society","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126546770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the crude protein contents were relatively higher in HDT, whereas the highest contents of crude ash were obtained in PFT. The pH of the extracts was in the range 5.61-6.09. The total polyphenol and flavonoid contents were the highest in the PFT extract (247.79 mg/100 g and 173.27 mg/100 g, respectively). The PFT extract also had the highest DPPH and ABTs radical scavenging activity, and α-glucosidase inhibition activity.

This analysis showed that these two types of tea should be approached from an East Asian perspective, breaking the notion that had been recognized as unique domestic teas of Goryeo. In addition, Dae Cha and Noewon Cha are good research topics for understanding the negotiations of East Asian tea culture in the 10th century. An analysis of the records of the two countries suggested that Dae Cha was produced and used for 139 years from 909 to 1047 in the Wuyue, Min, and Goryeo dynasties. Noewon Cha may have existed throughout the Silla, Wuyue, and Goryeo Dynasties for 132 years, from 916 to 1047. Through this study, Dae Cha was produced in Muzhou, Zhejiang Province. Hence, the possibility that Noewon Cha could be Shilla's tea could be explored. In this paper, the Shilla theory, the Wuyue theory, and the Goryeo theory were raised in relation to the origin of Noewon Cha. In this study, some issues that need to be identified through future research have emerged. These include the problem with the name of Noewon Cha, which is marked differently in the records of the two countries, the problem of the production area of Noewon Cha, and the tea culture negotiation relationship between the countries that existed in the Korean Peninsula and the Chinese mainland in the 10th century.

Therefore, this study examined Hanjae Yimok's tea spirit, particularly respecting the sages. The results of the study are as follows. First, ‘the idea of respecting the sages’ revealed in the preface of Dabu is embodied in the paragraph discussing ‘the six virtues of tea’. In addition, it formed a respectable core of saints of Confucianism and Taoism. Among them were Yáo, Shun, Confucius, and Laozi, as well as writers, such as Bailetian and Bai Juyi. Hanjae aspired to gain the physical and mental health they gained through the six virtues of tea. In the course of the study, the researcher tried to interpret ‘five harms’ and ‘eight truths’ based on ‘the idea of respecting the sages’. As a result, the existing interpretation based on the theory of Buddhism was an error, and it should be interpreted from the standpoint of Confucianism or Taoism.","PeriodicalId":213854,"journal":{"name":"The Korean Tea Society","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133645028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Second, tea consumption increased dramatically due to the Prohibition Act in the 1920s and black tea particularly increased rather than green tea as more tea was imported from India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia than from China and Japan due to the influence of the Pacific War and the Korean War in the 1940s and the 1950s respectively. Third, iced tea, which existed before the 20th century, was initially made of green tea but later changed to black tea, and as refrigeration improved, it became a representative American drink. Fourth, tea bags were invented in the previous century for economic feasibility and refine taste at first. Their quickness and convenience stimulated consumer sentiment, and when combined with CTC black tea, they gained an overwhelming advantage in the market.
