Description
Summary:An optimal manufacturing process was established for the mass-production of mulberry leaves tea. The produced tea contained abundant dietary fibers, β-carotenes, and calcium. Also the polyphenol content and antioxidant activity of mulberry leaves tea were higher than those of simply dried mulberry leaves. These results imply that this tea manufacturing process is effective to utilize the useful components of mulberry leaves.
