Green tea extracts for meats

Danisco has introduced Guardian Green Tea Extracts, specifically selected for their antioxidative properties on heat-treated meat and poultry products. Green tea is traditionally positioned as a flavour agent used mostly in beverages. Danisco is using the antioxidative properties of green tea to effectively protect the shelf life of meat and poultry products. According to scientific and application data from Danisco Food Protection Center in Brabrand, Guardian Green Tea Extracts are demonstrating flavour performances on meat products that are superior than synthetic antioxidants such as BHA.

Thanks to its extraction process, Guardian Green Tea Extracts have a low flavour intensity, therefore preserving a nice meat taste. Trials have shown that the meat treated with Guardian Green Tea Extracts maintains its flavour for a longer period than meat treated with other natural of synthetic solutions.
