Abstract: Epigallocatechin-3-O-(3-O-methyl) gallate (EGCG3"Me) is the most common methylated epigallocatechin (EGCG"Me)in tea which is better health function than the epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).The physical and chemical properties,preparation methods,health care efficacy of EGCG3"Me,influencing factors of EGCG3"Me content of tea tree,in vivo synthesis pathway of EGCG3"Me and other domestic and foreign research status were reviewed.It is suggested that the in vivo metabolic pathway of EGCG3"Me and the creation of deep-processed products will become popular.

Key words: EGCG3", Me, anti-allergy, influencing factors, metabolic mechanism
