Green Tea Extract 50% Polyphenols · Natural Antioxidant & Functional Ingredient
Green tea extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Camellia sinensis leaves. A 50% polyphenols grade is widely used as a natural antioxidant and functional ingredient in beverages, dietary supplements and functional foods. The key bioactive fraction typically includes catechins (such as EGCG, EGC, ECG and EC) that contribute to antioxidant capacity and the characteristic green tea profile. Atlas Global Trading Co. supplies green tea extract 50% polyphenols from qualified producers, supported by COA, technical documentation and reliable global logistics.
Green tea extract is often combined with other botanicals, vitamins, minerals and amino acids in functional premixes. Explore the full Plant Extracts portfolio or browse our Product Index (A–Z) for complementary antioxidants and functional ingredients.
Standardized green tea polyphenols for consistent functional performance
Standardization is critical for botanical ingredients used in functional foods and supplements. A green tea extract standardized to 50% total polyphenols provides predictable potency and helps ensure batch-to-batch consistency in finished products. This extract is used for antioxidant support, functional positioning and as a botanical component in modern beverage and nutrition concepts.
Key characteristics
- Botanical source: Camellia sinensis (green tea) leaves.
- Standardization: 50% total polyphenols (typical specification basis; method defined by producer/spec).
- Active fraction: polyphenols and catechins (EGCG and other catechins; detailed catechin profile can be defined by grade).
- Appearance: light yellow-green to brownish powder (shade can vary with processing and carrier system).
- Taste/odor: characteristic green tea note; bitterness/astringency depends on catechin profile and dosage.
- Solubility/dispersion: commonly designed for water dispersion; some grades are optimized for improved solubility and clarity.
- Use formats:
- Functional beverages and drink mixes,
- Capsules/tablets, sachets and powders,
- Functional foods and premixes.
- Regulatory & labeling:
- Typically labeled as “green tea extract” (and may include standardization statement where allowed).
- Permitted use, claim language and maximum levels vary by market and product category (food vs supplement).
Atlas helps customers select the appropriate grade (polyphenol level, catechin profile, solubility) for their beverage, supplement or food application.
Indicative specification points
Specifications vary by producer and intended application. Typical parameters include:
- Total polyphenols: 50% (as specified) using an agreed analytical method.
- Catechin profile (optional): EGCG and total catechins defined where required.
- Loss on drying / moisture: controlled for stability and flowability.
- Particle size: controlled for dispersion and premix uniformity.
- Carrier system (if used): defined type and level (project dependent).
- Heavy metals: controlled to meet food/supplement standards (market dependent).
- Microbiological criteria: controlled per applicable ingredient requirements.
- Residual solvents / processing aids: controlled and documented as applicable.
Each batch is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and a technical data sheet. Additional documents (GMO status, allergen statements, dietary suitability, origin, Halal/Kosher certificates where applicable) can be provided depending on grade and producer.
Green tea extract in functional beverages, supplements and premix systems
Green tea polyphenols are used to support antioxidant positioning and functional formulations. Below are common applications and practical formulation considerations.
Functional beverages & drink mixes
- RTD beverages: functional teas, antioxidant waters and wellness drinks (clarity and taste management are key).
- Powder drink mixes and instant beverages: used in stick packs and sachets with vitamins and minerals.
- Energy and performance beverages (selected): botanical component paired with caffeine sources, amino acids and electrolytes (project dependent).
- Flavor balancing: bitterness/astringency can be managed with sweeteners, acids and compatible flavor systems.
Dietary supplements
- Capsules and tablets: standardized botanical active for antioxidant and wellness positioning.
- Powder supplements: included in multi-ingredient blends (greens, adaptogen-style blends, wellness powders).
- Premix integration: used in custom functional premixes for consistent dosing and simplified manufacturing.
Functional foods (selected)
- Nutrition bars and gummies: botanical inclusion requires taste masking and stability evaluation.
- Dairy/plant-based foods: used in specialty products where tea flavor fits the concept (evaluate interactions and sensory).
Formulation guidance
- Potency: dose based on standardized polyphenols; consider label claim strategy and market rules.
- Sensory: green tea extracts can be bitter/astringent—pilot trials are recommended to optimize taste.
- Clarity: for beverages, select grades optimized for solubility and low haze where needed.
- Stability: evaluate polyphenol stability under heat treatment, pH, light exposure and oxygen; consider antioxidants and packaging strategies.
- Compatibility: minerals, proteins and certain stabilizers may influence clarity or taste—test in the final matrix.
- Regulatory: confirm permitted uses, maximum levels and claims in each destination market (food vs supplement frameworks differ).
