Tea Extract
Description
Tea Extract (CAS 84650-60-2), also marketed as Tea Polyphenol (TP) and Green Tea Extract, is a concentrated plant-derived ingredient sourced from Camellia sinensis leaves. It delivers broad-spectrum antioxidant activity across food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical formulations.
This versatile extract protects products from oxidative degradation, ensuring long-term stability. In food and beverage manufacturing, TP functions as a natural preservative, extending shelf life in oils, meat products, and packaged snacks by inhibiting lipid oxidation.
Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into serums, sunscreens, and anti-aging creams where its polyphenol content supports skin protection. In dietary supplements, it is supplied as a standardized active ingredient in capsules and tablets targeting antioxidant nutrition.
Pharmaceutical manufacturers also use it as a functional excipient or active component in topical and oral dosage forms. These applications require high-purity plant-based antioxidant support to meet rigorous industry requirements and consumer safety expectations.
Tea Extract is available as a fine powder, water-soluble powder, and liquid extract. The polyphenol content is typically standardized between 40% and 98% by UV assay to ensure consistent performance across various industrial batches.
Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly supplied, with EGCG-standardized grades available for supplement and pharmaceutical applications. Packaging ranges from small technical quantities to bulk industrial supply for large-scale production.
Our material meets global quality standards, including FCC, USP, Ph.Eur., BP, EP, and ACS where applicable. This ensures that every shipment of Tea Extract provides the reliability and purity required for sensitive chemical and biological formulations.
