| Abstract: | In order to
protect the quality of green tea, it can be made into standardized extracts
based on the active ingredients like polyphenols and epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCG), the major catechin. Value added products formulated from green tea
extract form a new approach into the field of nutraceuticals. This increases the
export potential as well as the sale in domestic markets. Value added products
like organic green tea extract and green tea extract capsules developed by
Arjuna Natural Extracts Ltd. have been included in this article for the interest
of tea drinkers, researchers and entrepreneurs. |
