Abstract :This study was conducted to determine the composition of green tea extracts obtained by using ultrasound-assisted extraction technique and to determine the changes in color, turbidity and tea cream formation with tannase enzyme supplementation. Green tea extracts obtained at a brewing temperature of 70 °C with different tea:water ratios (1:100; 5:100 and 10:100) and brewing durations (5, 10 and 20 minutes) were supplemented with tannase enzyme. The turbidity (NTU) values of green tea extracts varied between 3.50-24.0, tea cream quantities varied between 1.35-3.98 g/100g green tea for control samples and between 0.42-2.00 g/100g green tea for tannase enzyme-supplemented samples. Tea:water ratios and brewing durations had significant effects on tea cream formation of the samples. The results showed that the amounts of tannase enzyme-supplemented tea cream samples decreased more than the control samples under all application settings, and there were significant differences between the amounts of enzyme-supplemented and unsupplemented tea cream samples.
