Layn Natural Ingredient Corp, Ltd., supplier of botanical solutions, has expanded its portfolio of tea extracts in response to increasing demand for healthy, clean label, functional natural ingredients.
Tea extracts contain potent, scientifically-supported antioxidants and other active ingredients, including polyphenols, catechins, EGCG, flavonoids, L-theanine, and natural caffeine.
Layn’s tea extracts portfolio is designed to deliver functional benefit for applications in health and wellness, as well as flavor and product preservation, the company said. Layn’s tea ingredients now span a range of tea extracts from high quality Camellia sinensis—including green, black, white, oolong, and pu’erh.
The product line also includes sweet blackberry tea extract, instant powdered tea ideal for beverages, as well as specialized extracts of scientifically-backed, potent active botanical compounds from tea—including natural caffeine, L-theanine, and EGCG.
Added features of the product line are Non-GMO Project Verified and USDA Organic Certified, plus no maltodextrin or other carrier ingredients, making the tea extract ingredients ideal for clean-label products.
Layn has patented its proprietary manufacturing processes for L-theanine and other tea extracts enabling further innovation and quality standards. In the Americas, Layn offers an L-theanine extract that is 100% natural with up to 98% purity. In the European market, Layn introduced its EFSA-compliant, up to 40% L-theanine green tea extracts, which are supported by C14 analysis to confirm Camellia sinensis origin.
“Consumers are well familiar with the health benefits of tea,” said Collette Kakuk, vice president of global marketing at Layn Natural Ingredients. “Next to water, tea is the most consumed beverage in the world. Expansion of our tea extracts portfolio to include a mainstay variety such as green tea extract and also lesser known, potent varieties such as pu’erh tea, brings to market a breadth of tea extract ingredients brands can leverage to meet today’s consumer demand for clean label, recognizable, functional ingredients that address key consumer concerns—from immune support, natural energy, and cardiovascular health, to brain health, mood support, and weight management. We have focused our innovation on developing and delivering the world’s leading portfolio of high-quality, natural tea extracts to meet these demands.”
