RESEARCH ON PRODUCTION OF INSTANT TEA USING GARDENIA JASMINOIDES ELLIS. TO SUPPORT NOURISHING BRAIN AND ACTIVATING BLOOD CIRCULATION ON HEART FUNCTION

Abstract

This study has demonstrated the presence of two compounds Genipin and Geniposide in Gardenia
jasminoides Ellis.) collected in Thanh Luong commune, Thanh Chuong district, Nghe An province using the
1
H-NMR and
13
C-NMR. Genipin and Geniposide have biological activities such as anti-inflammatory, anti-
oxidant, inhibiting α-glycosidase enzyme, antiplatelet effect, improving thrombosis, etc. The anti-
inflammatory role of Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. can be helps prevent vascular diseases such as fibrosis and
atherosclerosis. This study has successfully prepared instant tea from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis. combined
with Millettia dielsiana Harms. and Lycopodium cernuum L.. Instant tea has physicochemical indicators. such
as moisture content of about 3.73%, ash level of 10.46% according to TCVN 9739:2013 standard and heavy
metal content all meet regulations according to National Technical Regulations, QCVN8-2:2011/BYT.
