Green Tea Extract 40% Caffeine by HPLC

Manufacturing

The steps included in the manufacturing process of Green Tea Extract 40% Caffeine through HPLC: good quality green tea has to be taken, from which the best-required quantity of caffeine can be derived. After the leaves are wilted, crushed, and rolled, they are controlled without browning. The leaves are then processed by solvent or water extraction to yield caffeine. Concentration is used to remove excess solvent or water from the extract, followed by drying, to obtain powdered green tea extract. The extract thereafter is subjected to strict analysis through High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to quantitatively measure the caffeine content. This ensures that by all means, the product contains 40% caffeine as required to be able to meet certain set quality standards before packaging and distribution.

Geographical Specifications

Camellia sinensis requires well-drained acidic soil with a pH ranging from 4.5 to 6.5. To support its growth, the best option will be the accumulation of organic matter in the soil. It grows well in the balance of sunlight and partial shade. Though it still grows in direct sunlight, partial shade contributes to some moderation in the quality of the tea leaf, especially when the sun is very hot.
