| Abstract: |
Grades of orthodox and green tea produced by different processors were analyzed using different quality parameters. Chemical constituents were found to be varied among different processors as well as among different grades of same processors. The ash content varied from 5.37 to 7.44 percent, water soluble ash from 48.49 to 70.62 percent, acid insoluble ash from 0.01 to 0.52 percent, alkalinity of soluble ash from 1.35 to 2.25 percent and hot water extract from 1.92 to 4.85 percent. Some tea samples were found to be sub-standard as compared to the specifications of Nepal standard for tea. Among the different samples analyzed for the chemical parameters, five samples were found to have higher crude fiber, one sample had lower caffeine content and lower hot water extract in addition to higher crude fiber content. All other samples were found to meet the specifications of Nepal standard for tea |
