Investigation of the Azorean <i>Camellia sinensis</i> Processing Conditions to Maximize the Theaflavin 3,3′-di-<i>O</i>-Gallate Content as a Potential Antiviral Compound

The molecular constituents of <i>Camellia sinensis</i>, in particular epigallocatechin-3-<i>O</i>-gallate (EGCG) and, more remarkably, the galloylated theaflavins, mainly theaflavin-3,3′-di-<i>O</i>-gallate (TF-3,3′-DG), have been reported to inhibit SARS-CoV-2 3-...
