Catechin Extraction
- Catechins are natural phenols and antioxidants found in green tea, fruits, chocolate, and wine, known for their numerous health benefits.
- The extraction process begins with selecting high-quality green tea leaves, drying them, and grinding them into a fine powder.
- The powdered leaves are mixed with a solvent, typically ethanol or water, and heated to extract catechins into the liquid.
- The mixture is filtered to separate the solid plant material, then concentrated and purified to create a potent, catechin-rich extract.
- Catechins offer health benefits such as antioxidant properties, support for heart health, weight management, brain function, and anti-inflammatory effects.
