Therefore, it is necessary to drink it as matcha tea, which is drunk with the whole tea leaves, or in the case of other green teas and the like, to drink or eat the tea leaves as well.

お茶の機能性、β-カロチン
β-カロチンはカロチノイドの仲間であり、プロビタミンAの一つで、生体内でビタミンAに変換されます。
カロチノイドが持つ機能は、プロビタミンとしてビタミンAになる作用、集光性作用と言って、植物の光合成に大切な作用。また、細胞膜の安定化作用、抗酸化作用等が期待されます。
β-カロチンに期待される効用としては、夜盲症の予防・改善効果、黄斑変性症を予防する効果、粘膜を健康に保つ効果、美肌効果、体の成長を促進させる効果、ガンを予防および抑制する効果が挙げられます。
β-カロチンは脂溶性であるために、茶葉成分として含まれてはいるが、通常の熱湯によっては抽出されてこない。つまり、緑茶等の茶葉に含まれていても、お茶湯として飲んでも摂取出来ません。。
そのため、茶葉ごと飲む抹茶として飲むか、その他の緑茶等の場合でも茶葉も一緒に飲むか食べる必要です。
