Brief
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. It represents a daily routine, especially in the work environment. To increase the availability of biodiversity in ingredients, we are looking for ways to increase the use of these ingredients in a reduced way without impacting the need for scale for production.
About Green Mate
Pleasant in flavor and with numerous health benefits, Mate Green Tea made from the infusion of Ilex paraguariensis, has many bioactive components, such as phenolic acids, which have antioxidant properties.
Among the acids present in the mate plant, we call attention to chlorogenic acid, responsible for inhibiting the activity of hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase, and reduces oxidation of LDL and bad cholesterol, in addition to acting directly on glucose metabolism. Antioxidants' main function is to protect the body's healthy cells from diseases in which free radicals are implicated.
