Kemin launches water-extracted green tea powder

AssuriTEA Green is 100 percent water-extracted, said Linda Fullmer, senior vice president of Kemin Industries’ Health division. “The growing safety and regulatory issues, worldwide, associated with some green tea extracts encouraged us to develop an all-natural alternative to the solvent-based tea extracts.” Gentle water extraction process Kemin added: “ Solvent tea extracts typically offer a concentrated formulation of a single constituent of the tea leaf. With AssuriTEA Green, a gentle water extraction process is used to ensure the ingredient offers the full spectrum of green tea polyphenols: EGCG, non-EGCG catechins and non-catechin antioxidants." AssuriTEA Green is the second product released under Kemin’s AssuriTEA brand and follows the September 2010 launch of AssuriTEA Wellbeing, a proprietary blend of green and black teas. Kemin Health - which is best known for its FloraGLO lutein ingredient and Slendesta weight management ingredient – is a division of Kemin Industries, which is based in Des Moines, Iowa.
