RESUMO:Camellia sinensis é amplamente conhecida por seus efeitos benéficos à saúde humana. Dentre as diversas formas de processamento desta erva, o chá verde e chá preto são os mais populares. Neste trabalho objetivou-se avaliar os teores de fenólicos totais e flavonoides em amostras de 25 diferentes marcas disponíveis à venda em farmácias e supermercados de Salvador-Ba. Os resultados obtidos apresentaram diferenças significativas na concentração dos compostos fenólicos entre as marcas de chá verde estudadas. No estudo também ficou comprovado que, no preparo do chá verde, as amostras obtidas por infusão aquosa com agitação mecânica apresentaram maiores teores de polifenóis e flavonoides em relação àquelas que não foram submetidas à agitação. Palavras-chave:Camellia sinensis, bioativos, antioxidante, chá verde, infusão.ABSTRACT: Contents of phenolics and flavonoids in green tea (Camellia sinensis) from samples of different brands available for sale in Salvador-Ba. Camellia sinensis is widely known for its beneficial effects to human health. Among the various forms of processing this herb, the green and the black tea are the most popular ones. The objective of this work was to evaluate the contents of total polyphenol and flavonoids in samples of 25 different brands available for sale in pharmacies and supermarkets of Salvador-Ba. The results showed great variation in the concentration of phenolic compounds among the brands of green tea which were tested. In the study it was also proven that in the green tea preparation the samples obtained by mechanical agitation with aqueous infusion showed higher levels of phenolics and flavonoids contents than those which were not subjected to stirring.
