HVN1957 Metadata Record - Kakariki Kiwi

This metadata record and it's attached files make statements about the kinds of data collected as part of this research, and set out policies for governance of that data, now and in the future.Description: Project to investigate the potential digestive, metabolic and mental health benefits of New Zealand-grown teas.The project will characterise and compare the nutritional profiles of the three teas grown in New Zealand: black, oolong and green. A series of specific phenolic and nutritional tests with the Food and Health Information team at Plant and Food Research aims to:review the literature to provide benchmark data for phytochemical profiles and their specific health benefits generate nutritional and biomarker profiles for the three teas grown in Aotearoa compare the profiles and rank the potential benefits. This research is essential to determine if data around the health benefits of tea grown overseas is valid for New Zealand-grown varieties. For example, if a New Zealand product was found to have a new key phytochemical, then overseas data may not include this key health information. Project findings will be used to validate health claims associated with New Zealand-grown teas to raise their profile in domestic and international markets.

本元数据记录及其所附文件阐述了作为本项研究一部分所收集数据之种类，并规定了当前及未来对该数据的治理政策。描述：本研究旨在探讨新西兰种植茶叶在消化、代谢及心理健康方面的潜在益处。项目将描绘并比较新西兰种植的三种茶叶（红茶、乌龙茶和绿茶）的营养特征。与植物与食品研究所食品与健康信息团队进行的一系列特定酚类和营养测试旨在：回顾文献，为植物化学成分及其特定健康益处提供基准数据；为新西兰种植的茶叶生成营养和生物标志物特征；比较特征并评估潜在益处。此研究对于确定关于国外种植茶叶健康益处的数据是否适用于新西兰种植品种至关重要。例如，若发现新西兰产品含有一种新的关键植物化学成分，则海外数据可能不包含这一关键健康信息。项目成果将被用于验证与新西兰种植茶叶相关的健康声明，以提高其在国内外市场中的知名度。
