Polyphenol content, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Georgian wine and green tea

Abstract

This comprehensive study explores the health-promoting properties of Georgian his comprehensive study explores the health-promoting properties of Georgian green tea and red wine, focusing on their antioxidant and anti-in reen tea and red wine, focusing on their antioxidant and anti-infl ammatory activ- ammatory activities, as well as polyphenol content. Utilizing the DPPH and FRAP methods, we ties, as well as polyphenol content. Utilizing the DPPH and FRAP methods, we observed impressive results, with green tea showcasing a remarkable FRAP activity bserved impressive results, with green tea showcasing a remarkable FRAP activity of 61.2% of f 61.2% of ascorbic acid scorbic acidactivity set as 100 %, surpassing red wine at 18.2%. Com- activity set as 100 %, surpassing red wine at 18.2%. Comparative assessments against arative assessments against ascorbic acid scorbic acidfor antioxidant activity and for antioxidant activity and Sodium diclofenac odium diclofenac for anti-in or anti-infl ammatory effects further underscored green tea's prowess. Intriguingly, ammatory effects further underscored green tea's prowess. Intriguingly, green tea exhibited a substantial anti-in reen tea exhibited a substantial anti-infl ammatory activity of 20 % of ammatory activity of 20 % of Sodium di- odium diclofenac lofenacalso set as 100 %, outshining red wine at 3.7%. Polyphenol content, a key also set as 100 %, outshining red wine at 3.7%. Polyphenol content, a key contributor to health bene ontributor to health benefi ts, revealed green tea's concentration at 7.5% (w/w), red ts, revealed green tea's concentration at 7.5% (w/w), red wine's – 4.4% g/l.
