Two New Oleanane-Type Triterpenes Isolated from Japanese Post-Fermented Tea Produced by Anaerobic Microbial Fermentation

Four triterpenes were isolated from a traditional Japanese tea product produced by anaerobic microbial fermentation of heated green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). Two of the compounds were novel and characterized by spectroscopic investigation to be 13,26-epoxy-3β,11α-dihydroxyolean-12-one and 3β,1...
