|
In this study, the nutritional components and functional activities of Sasa borealis leaf tea were evaluated. The proximate compositions were as follows; moisture 5.68%, crude protein 16.38%, crude fat 4.68%, nitrogen free extracts 32.37%, crude fiber 32.36%, and ash 8.53%, respectively. The mineral elements were as follows: K 2,133.83, Ca 1,144.09 and P 543.00 mg%, respectively. The amino acid contents of the Sasa borealis leaf tea were very rich in proline (1,275.26 mg/100 g) and deficient in cystine (71.49 mg/100 g). The major fatty acid components were linoleic acid (50.52%), palmitic acid (18.52%), and oleic acid (14.16%). Finally, based on our sensory evaluations, the 80oC extracted Sasa borealis leaf tea evidenced the best overall quality. The contents of total phenol and total flavonoids of the 80% methanol and hot water extracts were 15.09, 7.69 mg/g and 12.03, 6.12 mg/g, respectively. The DPPH and ABTS·+ radical scavenging activities of the 80% methanol extract from Sasa borealis leaf tea were 86.87% and 83.85% at a concentration of 1.25 mg/mL. The 80% methanol and hot water extracts evidenced reducing power and inhibitory effects against acetylcholinesterase in a dose-dependent manner.
