Processing, chemical signature and food industry applications of Camellia sinensis teas: An overview
The plant Camellia sinensis is the source of different teas (white, green, yellow, oolong, black, and pu-ehr) consumed worldwide, which are classified by the oxidation degree of their bioactive compounds. The sensory (taste, aroma, and body of the drink) and functional properties of teas are affecte...
