Abstract

The present review explored to extend the current knowledge by highlighting the antioxidative and antiaging profile of white tea. White tea, the least processed of the teas, is one of the least investigated and has the highest phenolic content. The white tea has a great potential on the skin for cosmetics and the for better skin physiology. Tea polyphenols, particularly catechin derivatives, are powerful antioxidants that benefit human health. Because of their potential to scavenge free radicals and thereby prevent oxidative stress, antioxidant components have piqued interest. In this context, several studies have revealed antiaging activity of white tea, as it involved in preventing aging and other age-related disorders. White tea delays the process of aging and improves the longevity of life. This manuscript provides a summary of various bioactive components present in white tea along with the different alkaloids, enriched with (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC) and (-)-epigallocatechin 3-gallate (EGCG), which are responsible for their health-promoting and antiaging properties.
