Article Synopsis
- Tea contains high levels of catechins, particularly (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which may help with cancer and inflammation, but its health benefits are limited by poor absorption in the gut.
- O-methylated EGCG derivatives, which have better bioavailability, are present in low amounts in some tea varieties and are the focus of ongoing research.
- Two specific enzymes, CsFAOMT1 and CsFAOMT2, were identified as responsible for producing the O-methylated versions of EGCG, with their activity being linked to the content of these beneficial compounds in different tea plants.
