BACKGROUND: In this work, we investigated the antioxidant and copper chelating abilities of theaflavin, a polyphenol responsible for astringency, color, and sensation in black tea. Using voltammetric techniques, the analyses were conducted with disposable electrochemical printed carbon chips in conjunction with a portable hand-held potentiostat.
RESULTS: Voltammograms of theaflavin showed five separate oxidation peaks, corresponding to the oxidation of five individual functional groups. Electroanalytical data indicated that, after interaction with copper, theaflavin had higher antioxidant potential and was a better copper chelator than epigallocatechin gallate, a major polyphenol present in green tea and a well-known antioxidant. This could be attributed to the extra fused ring and larger number of OH groups in theaflavin.
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings introduce another natural compound as a potential nutraceutical in oxidation- and copper-modulated illnesses. This simple and fast approach would also be highly pertinent to the inspection of the health benefits of natural food products. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of the electrochemical analysis of Cu (II) chelation with theaflavin. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
