Research Abstract

Goishi tea, a post fermented tea, is produced in Otoyo town in Kochi Prefecture, Japan. Two fermentation steps by aerobic and anaerobic fungi and microorganisms are conducted in the production of Goishi tea. In this study, the sensory and physiological functions of Goishi tea were investigated using scientific analyses in order to convert the tacit knowledge of traditional manufacturing process into the explicit knowledge. As a result of analysis using a taste sensor, it was found that, in Goishi tea, umami and astringency were weaker and sourness was stronger than other beverages. As for the physiological functions, the antioxidant activity and suppressive effect on differentiation of preadipocytes were investigated. As a result, pyrogallol was identified as the main antioxidant in Goishi tea. It was also elucidated that pyrogallol, gallic acid, and gallocatechin involved in the suppressive effect on differentiation of preadipocytes.
