Aluminium alters mineral composition and polyphenol metabolism in leaves of tea plants (Camellia sinensis).
In conclusion, low pH and enhanced Al availability to tea plants have a strong influence on the polyphenolic pattern of tealeaves and therefore may alter both the leaves' antioxidant properties and their ability to bind Al and Fe in non-toxic form.
