Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Including 30 mg AA in 250 mL of tea beverage significantly (p<0.05) increased catechin recovery of EGC , EGCG, EC, and ECG to 74, 54, 82, and 45% respectively.

Results shows the dual function of AA, protect action at low concentration and promoting degradation at high concentration, and the critical concentration is about … due to the reversible reaction from AA to DHAA inhibiting oxidation pathway of EGCG to EGCG quinone or other activated intermediates, and both AA … EGCG.
This result is helpful to control the stability of catechins and further clarify the complex interaction on healthy between EGCG and AA.

The antibacterial activity of EGCG was enhanced in the presence of ascorbic acid , and ascorbic acid was the most effective for retaining the concentration of stable EGCG.
The effect of EGCG on the antibiotic resistance of MRSA was also enhanced in the presence of ascorbic acid.
