Abstract
People around the world like drinking tea, which is a pleasant and safe beverage that is high in antioxidants. Out of all tea eaten worldwide, black tea makes up around 78%, while green tea makes up about 20%. The idea of "using tea to promote human health and to prevent and cure illnesses" has drawn a lot of attention in the past 10 years. Simple illnesses such as bacterial and viral infections, as well as chronic debilitating diseases including cancer, coronary heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis, seem to be less common in tea users. Early research on green tea indicated that it may have health benefits for people. The focus of the research has shifted to include black tea in recent years. Recent studies have shown that the health benefits of black and green tea are relatively comparable in terms of reducing the risk of several human diseases, such as heart disease and various forms of cancer. The current developments in tea beverage research are emphasized and critically reviewed in this work, with an emphasis on processing techniques for taste improvement. Tea beverages have been produced via cold extraction, ultrasonic extraction, and dynamic extraction. The following enzymes have been employed to enhance the flavor of tea beverages: lyticase, protease, amylase, pectinase, tannase, and β-glucosidase. Among other analytical methods, chromatography and electrochemical fingerprinting have been employed to assess the flavor of tea drinks. A plethora of novel varieties of fermented tea drinks have been created. This review examines and summarizes recent research on the bioactive ingredients, bioavailability, nutritional benefits, and safety concerns of tea-based beverages, with a focus on the molecular processes behind these health benefits. The goal is to improve the quality of tea beverages and their potential health benefits in the green industry.
