  1. Yerba Mate Tea (Ilex paraguariensis): Chemistry, Health Implications and Technological Considerations Fang-Mian Chang Hunter Couch Elisa Schreckinger

  2. Ilex paraguariensis • Yerba mate • Native to South America • Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina • Subtropical area • High temperature • High humidity • Shade tolerant • Species of Holly family

  3. Also the biggest consumers http://www.ushuaia.pl/yerba/where

  4. Ilex paraguariensis • Evergreen shrub or small tree • Height up to 6-18m • Managed as 2.5-3.0 m • Leaves • Up to 10 mm diameter • Serrated margins • Dioecious plant • Male and female plants

  5. Flowering season: from Oct. to Dec. Female plants Male plants Less bitter • Higher leaf net photosynthesis • Higher stomatal conductance http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12052

  6. Growth • Biennial production period • Summer: fruit ripening • Jan. and Feb.: pause growth • Nov.: spring sprouting • Mar., Jun.: autumn sprouting

  7. Products • Green yerba mate tea • Black yerba mate tea • Toasted yerba mate tea • Alternative of coffee http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/10/071023163949.htm

  8. Mate tea processing • Roasting, pre-drying • Drying • Milling • Aging • Final preparation (Isolabella et al., 2010)

  9. Mate tea processing • Roasting • Green yerba is exposed to direct fire • Temperature: 250-550 ℃ • Preserves color, flavor, and aroma • Drying • Leaves are exposed to hot air until a 3% of moisture is reached • Lasted for 12-18 h

  10. Mate tea processing • Milling • Product is triturated to large particles • Aging • Period of time necessary for the product to acquire the adequate flavor, aroma and color • Final preparation • Ground to smaller particles and sieved to eliminate the powder

  11. (Burris et al., 2012)

  12. (Bracesco et al., 2011)

  13. Nutrition value Mateine • Consumption of a cup of yerba mate is similar to the caffeine content of a cup of coffee (Heck and de Mejia, 2007) • The level of polyphenolics is higher than green or black tea • Processed leaves have higher level of polyphenols and xanthenes than green leaves (Filip et al., 2001)

  14. Biological Activities and Health Effects Anti parasitic & anti fungal activity Inflammation Diabetes Carcinogenesis Cause or prevention? Lipid metabolism and obesity

  15. Effect of Illexparaguariensis on lipid metabolism, obesity and oxidation • Suppress body weight gain and fat accumulation and levels of cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL. • Effect on gene expression (Arcari et al., 2009). • Suppress fat absorption by inhibiting pancreatic lipase activity (Martins, 2010). • differentiation preadipocytes (Kang et al., 2012).

  16. Effect of green mate in overweight volunteers: A randomized placebo-controlled human study Supplementation with mate extract can support weight loss in overweight volunteers when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Effect of treatment with green mate extract or placebo on each efficacy outcome after 6 weeks from study start.BMI: body mass index, BF%: body fat percentage, BFM: body fat mass, LBM: lean body mass, WC: waist circumference. (Kim et al., 2012)

  17. Effect of Illexparaguariensis on lipid metabolism, obesity and oxidation • Antioxidant protection • Ingestion of mate tea increased plasma and blood antioxidant protection in patients with dislipydeamia (Boaventura et al., 2012). • Effect of processing on bioactivity • Gross yerba mate reduces fat more efficiently but produces a greater increase in blood glucose (Silva et al., 2009).

  18. Beneficial effect of Illexparaguariensison mutagenesis • Protective effects against DNA damage and esophageal and liver carcinogenesis in rats (da Silva et al., 2009). • Inhibits proliferation of oral cancer cells in vitro (de Mejia et al., 2005). • Saponins in mate promotes apoptosis in colon cancer cells in vitro (Puangpraphant et al., 2011).

  19. Possible Adverse effect of Illexparaguariensison mutagenesis • Association between Mate consumption and increased risk of oral and oro-pharyngeal cancer. • It is recognized that the effect may be related to other factors: • Temperature of the infusion • Carcinogenic compounds produced during manufacturing • Smoking and alcohol consumption

  20. Mate drinking and oral and oro-pharyngeal cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis. • Meta-analysis yielded a significant summary odds ratio (OR) of 2.11. • Is this increased risk is due to the high temperature or to certain carcinogenic constituents that are present in mate? • More human and animal studies are needed (Dasanayake et al., 2011).

  21. Compound Extraction from Ilex Paraguariensis • Cebada del mate traditional consumption method using mate and hot water in a 3:4 ratio. • Consumed through a straw with a sieve on the end the mate container can be consumed and refilled 8-10 times and shared with a group. • Every time the mate is exposed to new water the taste and aroma profile change.

  22. Compound Extraction from Ilex Paraguariensis • In hot weather mate can be enjoyed cold as mate tereŕea cool refreshing drink with ice. • The newest way to consume mate tea is familiar to Camellia sinensis drinkers using a tea bag.

  23. Flavor and Aroma of Ilex paraguariensis • Pre-harvest and post-harvest factors have a profound influence on the final mate. • Due to the variability of growing conditions processors have developed a lexicon for describing the flavor and aroma. • Positive aromas are fruity, smoky, toasted, and hay-like. • If any of the aromas are deemed to be overpowering it is viewed as flaw. • The taste of mate has some similarities to green tea with additional flavors like green, paper, and humid.

  24. Commercial Products of Ilex Paraguariensis • Traditionally mate is brewed at the time of consumption in a gourd and consumed with the bombilla. • Convenience has driven the production of mate tea bags. • For even more convenience there are also prepared tea beverages available.

  25. Commercial Products of Ilex Paraguariensis • As previously mentioned some studies have shown that consumption of mate may be hazardous so some consumers may opt for extracts. • These extracts can be used as is in a capsule or as spray dried concentrates for rehydration as a beverage.
