What Is Tea Catechins Powder?

Product is a concentrated botanical derivative with high levels of flavan-3-ols including epicatechin (EC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin (EGC). The antioxidant activity of raw tea leaves varies from batch to batch but this powder provides a standard antioxidant activity.

This addresses three big industrial problems. First, it addresses the inconsistency of active compounds in raw tea. Secondly, it provides heat stability throughout manufacturing operations. Third, it solves the bioavailability problem of conventional infusions.

Tea Catechins Powder offers accurate, high potency nutrition for specific health benefits via membrane filtering and chromatographic separation.

Why Choose Our Tea Catechins Powder?

Premium Green Tea Raw Material

We use only high activity leaves from restricted growth areas. We have a standard extraction procedure that results in the same profile of catechins in each batch we make.

Customizable Solutions

Multi-gradient content levels are customisable to fit your formulation needs. We also enable pesticide residue removal, plasticiser removal and low-caffeine customisation for sensitive applications.

Stable Batch Quality

We use state-of-the-art quality control technologies such as HPLC fingerprinting, ICP-MS heavy metal screening and gas chromatography solvent residue analysis. This ensures that the product you get is of stringent international compliance level.

Versatile Applications

This powder naturally blends into functional solid drinks, nutritional supplement capsules, pressed candies, anti-aging cosmetics and antioxidant culinary additives. It is also used in aquaculture, animal nutrition and everyday chemical compositions.

Technical Property and Stability

Our Tea Catechins Powder is highly soluble in water and aqueous ethanol; so it is appropriate for both liquid and solid dosage forms. The powder has a high redox potential, therefore it is a better scavenger of free radicals.

Chemical stability depends on the pH. You are optimally resistant in a slightly acid environment (pH 3–5). Modern manufacture assures low moisture content (less than 5%) to minimise hygroscopic deterioration and preserve great flowability during encapsulation or tableting. 

The powder stays stable and transparent in Ready-to-Drink drinks for a 12-month shelf life.  This eliminates common issues like precipitation and oxidation-induced browning.

Application Scenarios Across Multiple Industries

Nutraceutical Formulation

Use our powder as a key active ingredient in supplements for weight control and metabolic health. Catechins of high purity are stable in the stomach environment and may efficiently increase thermogenesis.

Functional Beverage Industry

Blend powder into RTD functional teas and smart drinks. Its stability profile guarantees that it maintains its clarity and flavour over long periods of shelf life, without any deterioration.

Cosmeceutical and Topical Products

Add the powder to more sophisticated skincare for photoprotection and anti-collagenase activity. Micro-encapsulation alternatives protect against interaction with lipid-based substances, ensuring that catechins stay physiologically active until skin penetration.

Food Ingredients and Preservation

Natural catechin based preservation solutions to replace synthetic antioxidants like BHA and BHT. This enables clean label claims and regulatory compliance.

Quality Control and Safety Assurance

Professional procurement of our powder requires rigorous validation beyond basic parameters. Key QC inspection items include:

Identification & Assay (HPLC): We verify the exact fingerprint of catechins (C, EC, EGC, EGCG) and exclude adulteration with cheaper extracts like grape seed.

Contaminant Profiling: Tea leaves can act as hyper-accumulators. We continuously test against EC 396/2005 and FDA multiresidue screens to ensure low limits of organochlorines, pyrethroids, lead, and aluminum. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are strictly controlled for EU markets.

Solvent Residue Analysis: Gas chromatography confirms that residual solvents remain within ICH Q3C guidelines, especially for solvent-free marketing claims.

Packaging and Safety Precautions

We provide flexible packaging options tailored to your order volume and storage requirements. All packaging materials comply with food-grade safety standards and maintain product integrity during transit.

Safety Precaution: Wearing protective goggles or safety glasses is recommended. If the powder accidentally enters your eyes, immediately rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical care. Wash skin with soap and water upon contact.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q:What is the exact difference between total polyphenols, catechins, and EGCG?

A:Among plant polyphenols, the most active and clinically valuable compound is EGCG from the catechin subclass. It is the core ingredient promoting metabolism and calorie expenditure. Product formulations must precisely quantify EGCG content rather than relying only on total polyphenol content to ensure clinical efficacy.

Q:Is the product guaranteed?

A:We guarantee that every batch matches the samples you confirmed. Each product undergoes strict testing before shipment, complying with the Chinese, European, or US Pharmacopoeia standards.

Q:Does this extract contain caffeine?

A:Natural green tea extract conventionally contains 2–10% caffeine. We provide different solutions based on your formulation needs, including low-caffeine and decaffeinated options.
