Green Tea as an Antioxidant Agent for Meat Products

The antioxidant properties of green tea make it a great preservative option to be added to meat products, that is, foods that are produced from animal meat, whether fresh, processed, cooked, or cured.

Studies carried out at the Regional Integrated University of Alto Uruguai and Missões and at the Federal University of Bahia, for example, proved the effectiveness of green tea in these cases.

Applying dry green tea extract to meat products can reduce the formation of negative compounds that appear during cooking and processing, ensuring a healthier and safer product.
