Camellias Based on Tea Polyphenols and Amino AcidsLiang JiYang ZhendeLu TianlingHuang SumeiAbstractThe contents of tea polyphenols and amino acids in fresh leaves of Camellia nitidissima,C.nitidissima form longistyla,C.euphlebia,C.pingguoensis,C.tunghinensis.C.pubipetala,C.ptilosperma,C.

longganensis var.grandis were examined for estimating the tea-process fitness of the yellow camellias,and the two common teas (Xianhui tea and Fuyun green tea) from market were also employed . The results showed that tea polyphe nols and amino acids were different between the camellias. C. pubipetala had the highest tea polyphenols(11.7%,yong leaves) in all species, lower than Xianhui tea(18.25%) and Fuyun green tea(16.62%),but it had the highest conten t of amino acids(6.3%,yong leaves) in all matrials, and had a top mark in the comprehensive scoring for
