Traditionally consumed in East Asia, matcha is a finely ground powder made from young grown and processed green tea powder. Matcha powder boasts incredible health benefits such as being high in antioxidants, boosting brain function, promoting heart health, and weight loss. Matcha tea is a mix of powder leaves and water, whereas traditional green tea is an infusion of leaves.
Therefore, to formulate a long shelf-life matcha milk tea drink, stability and suspension are key. We used a mix of specialty hydrocolloids to obtain the right mouthfeel and excellent stability:
- Kelcogel® HM-B (N) is a gellan gum design for dairy systems to create a fluid gel and suspend insoluble solids; here the matcha powder mix.
- Genuvisco® J-DS is a multifunctional specialty carrageenan that improves stability in casein-based milk systems, provides uniform suspension of the powder mix, and boosts the creamy mouthfeel.
