隨著經濟發展及國人對生活品質和醫療保健的重視，溫泉成為民眾追求健康養生不可或缺的一部分。溫泉資源的利用，在國內主要還是以娛樂、觀光為主，但在國外，溫泉帶來的健康療養，包含飲用溫泉水養生，已有相當多的研究根據來推廣其效用。 本研究旨在分析東埔溫泉水、自來水及RO逆滲透水等不同飲用水泡茶後，其茶多酚的含量多寡及感官品評。並了解東埔溫泉水的濁度、TDS總溶解固體物及重金屬含量是否符合環保署公布之飲用水標準。感官品評則分為清澈度、色澤、香氣、苦澀味及整體接受度，採評分法進行之。 研究結果顯示，RO逆滲透水在泡茶後，茶多酚含量為最多，其次是自來水，最少的是東埔溫泉水。而泡茶後的感官品評，以東埔溫泉水的接受度最高，其次是自來水，最後是RO逆滲透水。 With economic development, people attach more and more importance to the quality of life , especially health . Hot springs has become an indispensable part of people’s pursuit of health. The use of hot springs, originally marketed at the tourist industry, is mainly seen as a form of entertainment in Taiwan. But in foreign countries, considerable research has been done to prove the effectiveness of hot springs on our health. The purpose of this study was to compare the hot spring water at Dongpu, tap water and reverse osmosis water, mixed with tea, the content of tea polyphenols and do a sensory evaluation. The study also aimed at evaluating the turbidity of the content of the Dongpu hot springs and to check if it is in accordance with the standard used by Environmental Protection Administration. The sensory evaluation was divided into sub categories: clarity, color, aroma, bitterness and overall acceptance. The results of this study showed that reverse osmosis water with tea, polyphenol content of at most, secondly was tap water, Dongpu hot springs was the least .According to the sensory evaluation method that was applied,the results of the study showed that the hot spring water of Dongpu received the highest acceptance level, followed by tap water and osmosis water, respectively.
