Introduction: Tea is a popular beverage that comes from Camellia sinensis. Tea is generally categorised into four types: black tea, oolong tea, green tea, and white tea. These four types are distinguished based on the presence or absence of a fermentation process during their processing. One of the compounds that play a role in providing freshness to tea is caffeine.
Aims: The purpose of this study was to determine the caffeine content in the tea samples that are on the market.
Methods: This was done using the near-infrared (NIR)-chemometric method and using the TLC-Densitometry method as a comparison. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrics has been developed as a simple method to analyse the caffeine content in a tea sample. IR spectra of tea samples were correlated with caffeine content using chemometrics.
Results: In this study, the partial least squares (PLS) model of the NIR model that showed the best calibration with r-square was 0.958, and the root mean squared error of calibration (RMSEC) value was 0.070. The PLS calibration model of the NIR models was further used to predict the unknown caffeine content in commercial samples. The significance of the caffeine content that had been measured with NIR and TLC-Densitometry was evaluated using a two paired sample t-test.
Conclusion: The caffeine content measured with both methods gave no significant difference.
