Abstract:
... Climate change differentially affects tea yield at various altitudes; however, its impact on tea quality is less acknowledged. To understand the divergence in tea quality, we collected green tea samples from five sites (with varying altitude from 212 to 1020 m) on Lushan Mountain in Jiangxi Province, eastern China. Results showed that an increase in cultivation altitude decreased total tea polyphe ...

Different commercial quantification methods yield different β-glucan concentrations and beer filterability. In order to acquire detailed information on the measureable molar mass and its impact on beer filtration, six high-throughput methods were developed and analysed. These methods involve three calibra ...
