| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Roasted tea, a representative tea of Japan, has characteristic aroma generated by roasting at high temperature. In this study, the functionality of Maillard reaction product in roasted tea was investigated. First, pyrazines generated by roasting were important compounds to increase preference score in sensory evaluation. Second, pyrazines showed GABAA receptor activity and anxiolytic activity in mice which were the indicators of relaxing effect. Third, high molecular weight fraction separated from roasted tea shows antioxidative effect that were increased with an increase in the roasting degree of tea.
