Advances in Ampelopsis grossedentata Resources and Quality Evaluation of Vine Tea
Vine tea is an alternative tea made from tender stems and leaves of Ampelopsis grossedent-ata.It is rich in flavonoids,polyphenols,polysaccharides and other bioactive ingredients,and has many health care and medicinal values such as anti-tumor,anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation.Vine tea in-dustry has become a specialty agricultural industry in Wuling Mountain minority areas.At present,healthy and orderly development of vine tea industry is limited because of the differences in germplasm resources,origin and production process of A.grossedentata,and the lack of quality control standards of vine tea.In this paper,the resource distribution of A.grossedentata,the chemical composition analysis and quality evaluation of vine tea were reviewed,so as to standardize the production and processing,and provide advice for improving quality standards in vine tea industry.
