Chemical and Physical Characterization of Bamboo Tea Leaves

Abstract

The leaves of the bamboo plant contain a variety of chemicals, including antioxidants, polyphenols, flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins. These elements support the potential health benefits of bamboo leaf tea and have indirectly contributed to its popularity. The objective of this study was to determine the physical and chemical properties of bamboo leaf. This is because the problem of unknown level of TPC of bamboo leaves needs to be solved. Thus, the abundance of bamboo leaves can be utilized by producing tea from it to overcome the problem of abundance and unuse of the leaves in industry.
