Formulation Notes for Pet Food Manufacturers

  • Use decaffeinated Green Tea Extract Powder for cats and small companion animals.
  • Add during the cooling/coating stage of extrusion to minimize heat degradation.
  • Protect from moisture, oxygen, and light because catechins are oxidation-sensitive.
  • Standardize by EGCG content rather than only extract ratio for consistent batch performance.
  • Conduct palatability testing because higher catechin levels may create bitterness.

  • Catechins: ≥40%
