Green Tea Polyphenols
Green tea polyphenols, such as catechins and epicatechins, are associated with numerous health benefits, including prevention of atherosclerosis, cholesterol reduction and protection against cancer. The objective of this project was to assess potential opportunities in health ingredients based on polyphenol-containing extracts from green tea used as ingredients in foods, beverages, dietary supplements and cosmetics.
In considering each opportunity we aimed to determine the following: –
- Approximate green tea polyphenol market size, characteristics (including competing products), trends and future potential
- Key players with an IP/technology position
- Main success factors and barriers to entry of successful key players
- Potential partner and acquisition targets (either key players with IP/technology or good science-based ‘other’ players with good products)
- Key market segments in terms of applications or health conditions targeted
- Associated health benefits
- Scientific substantiation
- Possible use of the polyphenol (or the extract) as a technological antioxidant
