Green tea-based food supplements are very attractive to a large group of consumers and make an important contribution to maintaining good health.
In order to preserve the nutritional value of supplements of this type, pesticide and plant growth hormones-free green tea is used as raw material.
Choosing the best sweeteners in this case is an important part of scientific research, especially for consumers with certain digestive conditions.
The aim of this paper is to successfully identify the best way to sweeten green tea by testing and selecting the best sweetener. In this mode results an intermediate product with superior physical-chemical and sensory properties. This product will be used as a raw material in the next technological steps, providing a good basis for an innovative food supplement.
The used raw material (green tea) was tested by A.A.S. (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy) to check for contamination by residues or heavy metals [2], [3], [5]. In order to determine the influence of sweeteners on the basic chemical composition, UV-VIS optical spectrometry and mathematical statistics were used.
The results of this phase of research led to the identification of the best sweetening option for green tea-based food supplements. The product obtained and selected for use (as raw material) in the following technological steps had a chemical composition similar to that of the unsweetened version, but also much improved sensory properties.
The best sweetening option in this case was determined by minimizing the change in the basic chemical composition of the green tea and preserving the basic sensory characteristics.
