Comparing green tea with green leaf flavonoids,
the level of catechins was low in case of BT due to the oxidation
process of catechins into various quality potential of BT like
theaflavins (Haslam, 2003). Even though the catechin content
was less in BT when compared to green tea, the total flavonoid
and polyphenol contents remained high with BT when compared
to other fruits like grapes and apple. Interestingly the TFC and
TPC of wild apple were observed to be higher than that of edible
