Introduction of Catechin Quantitative Analysis Service
Catechins are a group of potent flavonoid compounds predominantly found in tea, cocoa, and various fruits, renowned for their significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and other health-promoting properties. Accurate quantification of these bioactive molecules is paramount for ensuring product quality, validating health claims, and optimizing formulations in the nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical industries. Creative Biolabs leverages advanced analysis techniques to provide precise and comprehensive catechin profiling.

Standard catechin analysis: Precise quantification of major catechins, including catechin (C), gallocatechin (GC), epicatechin (EC), epicatechin-3-O-gallate (ECG), epigallocatechin (EGC), catechin gallate (CG), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
-
Comprehensive phytochemical fingerprinting: Beyond catechins, we extend the analysis to include other phenolic compounds, alkaloids, and key bioactive molecules, providing a holistic chemical signature of your sample. We also expand the analysis scope to include Organic Acid, Arachidonic Acid, Anthocyanin, Biogenic Amine, Alkaloid, and other key active factors based on Metabolic Research, thereby providing a comprehensive chemical profile of the samples.
-
Process optimization analysis: Evaluate how different processing methods (e.g., fermentation, extraction, drying) impact the catechin content and profile of your product, enabling process refinement for desired outcomes.
The analysis workflow of catechin's quantitative analysis service usually includes the following steps:
Sample preparation: Collect the samples to be analyzed and perform pretreatment as needed, such as drying, crushing and dissolving.
Standard preparation: Prepare catechin standard solutions of known concentrations for subsequent quantitative analysis.
Analysis method selection: Select appropriate analysis techniques according to experimental requirements to ensure effective separation of various catechins.
Sample analysis: Inject the pretreated samples into the chromatograph for analysis. Data is obtained by recording retention time and peak area.
Data processing: Use software to analyze the chromatogram and calculate the concentration and content of each catechin component.
Result verification: Verify the analysis results through reproducibility experiments and standard curves to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.
Report generation: Organize the analysis results and write a detailed report for client reference.

Published Data
This research employed a machine learning technique, specifically a random forest (RF) classifier, to differentiate various types of tea based on their chemical makeup. The investigation centered on 19 distinct chemical compounds identified within the teas, with Figure 1A visually representing the application of this classification methodology. The effectiveness of this model in distinguishing between the different tea categories is detailed in Figure 1B. Figure 1C highlights the chemical constituents that proved most influential in this differentiation. Among these, GC, EGCG, and ECG are significant components of tea catechins and were pinpointed as critical indicators for tea classification. The study also observed that these catechin compounds responded uniquely to different thermal processing methods during tea production. Lastly, Figure 1D offers a visual summary using Principal Component Analysis (PCA), illustrating how the six distinct tea types (dark, black, green, yellow, oolong, and white) are spatially distributed and grouped based on their chemical profiles, providing insight into their underlying similarities and differences.
