Abstract: A qualitative and quantitative method for gallic acid, CAF and 8 catechins in tea were established by optimizing the extraction conditions of pretreatment and separation methods of Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography(UPLC). The results showed that the ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18(1.7 μm,2.1 mm×50 mm) chromatographic column was used and the chromatographic conditions were as follows:The column temperature was 30 ℃, the flow rate was 0.2 mL/min, the mobile phase was 0.1% formic acid water -0.1% formic acid methanol solution, the detection wavelength was 278 nm. The 10 components in the range of 0.05~10.00 mg/L had a good linear relationship, the relative deviation of the content of each component in green tea samples RSD between 1.77%~5.89%. The method is simple, fast and accurate.

Key words: tea, ultra high performance liquid chromatography, catechins, caffeine, gallic acid
