| Abstract | As one of the most consumed beverages worldwide, green tea has been extensively studied for its wide array of health benefits. In this study, the composition of active compounds and antioxidative activity was analyzed using various antioxidant assay systems and compared between organic green tea (OGT) and conventionally grown green tea (CGT). OGT extract was prepared in the same way as CGT with the exception of fertilizer and insecticide, which were used only for CGT preparation. There were no significant differences in total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity tested against 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt radicals and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radicals. In addition, the antioxidant activities shown with both assays were highly correlated with the polyphenol contents (r $^{2}$ > 0.99). No significant differences were observed in the cellular antioxidant activity assay using HepG2 cells (P > 0.05). However, substantially higher concentrations of catechins, especially epigallocatechin-3-gallate, were found in the OGT (7.64 vs 5.54/100 mg extract). Thus, OGT could be considered as a potent and safe antioxidative resource, being free of both fertilizer and herbicide uses. However, the advantages of OGT should be further optimized to provide a wide range of physiological effects, considering the price of production and parallel amounts of the active ingredients in CGT. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
