Tea polyphenols,a kind of substance in tea extract,have been widely considered by researchers for their strong antioxidant and reducibility.In many studies,a synergistic effect has been found in most substances with antioxidant properties.The antioxidant capacity of two or more substances is often more substantial than that of a single substance.In recent years,many researchers have focused on the synergistic antioxidant ability of tea polyphenols combined with small molecules.Taking tea polyphenols and vitamin C as examples,we reviewed their antioxidative mechanisms.The application of synergistic antioxidant activity in the environmental field was further discussed.Finally,the prospects for future research in this field were proposed.
