Twenty two samples of black tea were collected from local Syrian markets during 2009-2010 to study the quality characteristics of tea in terms of moisture، water extract، caffeine، total ash، water soluble ash، alkalinity of soluble ash, insoluble ash in diluted hydrochloric acid in addition to microscopic examination. Results showed that all tested samples were identical to the Syrian Standard No. 286/2003 for all above quality specifications، except for caffeine percent which was less than the standard in 4 samples. The results also showed that there was no adulteration with foreign plants nor exhausted tea leaves.

Black tea which contains polyphenol is important for health benefits and it is considered as antioxidant contents . The extraction parameters, time and temperature and kind of solvent extraction, can Influence the polyphenol concentrations of Blac k tea, and were investigated in this study. The purpose of the study was to quantify the polyphenols (catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate) in different kinds of teas ( Lipton , Alrabee , Layalina ) which are available in Syria market.The study was conducted using two types of solvents methanol 70% the adoption of the reference method adopted ISO14502-1 and water 100% , at different extraction times (1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes) and extraction temperatures (60°C , 70 °C , 80°C, 90°C, 100°C). the total polyphenols content was determined using the phenol reagent (Folin Ciocalteu reagent) adoption gallic acid as standard compound the overall content values of polyphenols have been monitoring in extracts methanol 70% and water 100% .
This paper presents a developed HPLC method for the determination of caffeine and theobromine in different black and green tea infusion samples, using different infusion methods, such as infusion with and without boiling, repeated and continuous i nfusion. A mixture of double-distilled water and methanol (60:40 v/v), was used as a mobile phase. In this condition, the retention time for theobromine was three minutes and for caffeine five minutes.
The scientific technological contemporary revolution, represented by the Internet and computer technics, has led to a new working environment named E-Business. In turn, this environment has produced some nomenclatures appropriate to its nature such a s E-Quality, which refers to the application of various concepts of quality known in computer-based electronic environment and its various networks. This research investigates the problem that discusses the classification of Syrian universities websites, the dimensions of its electronic quality, and the challenges that prevent the lifting of the electronic quality levels in those sites. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to know to which extent Syrian universities websites have adopted the e-quality dimensions. This is done via practical study to the Universities’ websites, in order to achieve an effective development to the Electronic quality elements concept in the E-business environment in Syria. The results of this research showed a weakness in the electronic quality dimensions of the Syrian universities websites, which has been reflected in the weakness of the site design and a decrease in the quality of its software and information, as well as a weakness in the services diversity and electronic ethics.
This research aimed at studying the impact of firm characteristics on the level of social responsibility disclosure by firms subject to the rules of The Syrian Commission on Financial Markets and Securities. The research was applied on 38 companies for which data was available from 2007-2013. To measure the level of firms’ social responsibility disclosure, the dependent variable, an index was built based on the KLD index. Firm characteristics, the independent variables, that were examined are: profitability, financial leverage, age, industrial sector, size, managerial ownership, institutional ownership and foreign ownership. Data were hand collected from the annual reports of the firms in question and analyzed following the random effect model, of the panel data models. The results indicate that the size of the firm and its profitability are positively linked to its social responsibility disclosure. No effect however was detected for the age of the firm, the industrial sector, and the ownership structure. The results also reveal that the Syrian crisis had a positive effect on the level of social responsibility disclosure, as these firms increased disclosure of social responsibility related to community service, particularly those related to the support of martyrs families and war casualities.
