BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF SPECIALTY TEA EXTRACTS FROM MULTISTAGE EXTRACTIONS USING SOLVENTS TREATMENTS

Emily Kipsura, Robert Koech, Simon Mwangi, Samson Machohi Kamunya, Victor Ngeno, Joel Koech, Christine C. Bii

This study compares the biochemical composition of tea extracts from different solvents, finding that ethyl acetate yields high polyphenols, methylene chloride isolates caffeine, and water provides high yield for polyphenols.

Combined linkage and association mapping of putative QTLs controlling black tea quality and drought tolerance traits

Robert Koech, Richard Mose, Samson Machohi Kamunya, Zeno Apostolides

This study combines linkage and association mapping to identify QTLs associated with black tea quality and drought tolerance traits, finding additional QTLs related to secondary metabolites and abiotic stress.
