Food & Beverage Ingredients

Teavigo® (extract of Camellia sinensis) is made from high quality green tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. It has the power to provide products with high levels of green tea catechins, specifically EGCg (94%), while maintaining or enhancing the quality of the product. It also contains negligible levels of caffeine. EGCg has many effects that can promote and maintain overall health, including antioxidant and anti-microbial effects. It is known that EGCg is the most effective catechin among other catechins and that it is present at the highest amount in green tea leaves. Products undergo extensive safety and pesticide testing in every production batch, in order to provide safe and creditable products.

Sunphenon® CF-T is a natural caffeine rich green tea extract (high caffeine traceable) which is made from high-quality black tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant, rich in polyphenols (50% polyphenols, 40% catechins, 10% EGCg) and natural caffeine (20%).

SunActive® Zn-P240G is a powder-type, encapsulated and emulsified Zinc Oxide to fortify Zinc in food and beverage products. Zinc Oxide is an insoluble zinc salt. Therefore, it does not exhibit an unpleasant taste of zinc ions such as water-soluble zinc sulfate, zinc gluconate, and all other water-soluble zinc salts. However, it is difficult to use conventional Zinc oxide in liquid formulas because it precipitates easily. In order to solve this problem, Taiyo developed a method to convert Zinc Oxide into very small particles and to coat these particles with emulsifiers to prevent re-agglomeration and precipitation.
