1 0 C/min. Helium was used as a carrier gas at a constant flow of 1.2 ml/min. Spectra were obtained on electron impact of 70 eV, scanning from 35 to 550 m/z. n-Alkanes (C6-C24) were used as reference points in the calculation of retention indices (RI) Library searches were carried out using NIST, Mass Finder, Flavour and the Baser library of essential oil constituents by comparing mass spectra and retention indices (Kamatou et al., 2010). The retention index RI for an individual compound RIC was calculated using the formula: RIc = 100Z +100((log t`RC – log t`RZ)/(log t`R(Z+1)- log t`RZ)) where t`RC, tRZ and t`R(Z+1) are the corrected retention times for the compound and the alkanes eluting before and after the compound, respectively (Braithwaite and Smith, 1996). 3.11 Data analysis One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed using Genstat 13 th edition to establish the differences in the mean levels of quality parameters studied between F. ancylantha tea and the control teas. The significant differences among the means were tested at 95% confidence interval. 54
CHAPTER 4: RESULTS AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Quality of F. ancylantha tea The quality parameters of locally processed F. ancylantha tea and those of commercially available Lipton green and black are presented in Table 4.1. The results showed that there were significant (p
