dc.description.abstractConsumer interest in a healthy diet has been growing exponentially. Consequently, food industries provide, nowadays, an increasing number of products (including teas and infusions) that label beneficial health and/or well-being effects. In this work, a preliminary survey of several herbs commonly used in commercial mixtures for infusions (horsetail, lemongrass, green tea, fennel, St. John’s wort, senna and tilia) was performed. Infusions of single plants (n=13) and mixtures (n=18) were analyzed and their labels verified in order to identify possible gaps in their claims. Total phenolics, total flavonoids and tannins contents, as well as the reducing ability (using FRAP assay) of samples, were determined.pt_PT
