Tea is widely recognized as the most consumed beverage in the world after water. In recent years, the connection between tea and health has gained growing attention as a significant research topic. In this study, we evaluated the relationship between tea and health by analyzing the boron content, total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant capacity (TOC), oxidative stress index (OSI), and pH levels of teas commonly consumed in Türkiye. A total of 42 samples were created from various tea brands and different tea types that are widely consumed in Türkiye. The determination of boron in pulverized and brewed tea samples was carried out using the carminic acid method. Additionally, boron transfer was determined in brewed teas. Brewed tea samples were also examined in terms of pH, TAC, TOC, and OSI. It was determined that all teas contained an average of 11.73 mg/L boron, the amount of boron in domestic teas was lower than in imported teas. It was determined that boron transfer into brewed tea was approximately 30%. The pH values ranged between 4-5. No differences were detected in terms of TAC, TOC, and OSI. Our research shows that tea consumption is safe in terms of boron levels and helps meet daily needs. The OSI of teas is less than 1, so their antioxidant effects can be considered quite good. However, it should be noted that excessive tea consumption can lead to the demineralization of tooth enamel due to low pH levels.
茶被广泛认为是世界上仅次于水的消费最多的饮品。近年来,茶与健康之间的联系作为一个重要的研究课题受到了越来越多的关注。在本研究中,我们通过分析土耳其常见消费茶叶的硼含量、总抗氧化能力(TAC)、总氧化能力(TOC)、氧化应激指数(OSI)和pH值水平,评估了茶与健康之间的关系。从土耳其广泛消费的各种茶叶品牌和不同茶类中总共选取了42个样本。使用胭脂红酸法测定粉碎茶叶和冲泡茶叶样本中的硼含量。此外,还测定了冲泡茶中的硼转移情况。还对冲泡茶样本的pH值、TAC、TOC和OSI进行了检测。结果表明,所有茶叶平均含硼量为11.73毫克/升,国产茶中的硼含量低于进口茶。结果还表明,硼向冲泡茶中的转移率约为30%。pH值在4至5之间。在TAC、TOC和OSI方面未检测到差异。我们的研究表明,就硼含量而言,饮茶是安全的,并且有助于满足日常需求。茶叶的OSI小于1,因此其抗氧化效果可被认为相当不错。然而,应该注意的是,过量饮茶可能会由于低pH值导致牙釉质脱矿。
