Core Benefits & Functional Mechanism of L-Theanine 20% / 40% Food Grade
Food grade L-Theanine 20% and 40% deliver the same clinically-studied benefits of L-Theanine — relaxation without drowsiness, improved focus and cognitive support — in a cost-effective, water-soluble format optimized for large-scale food and beverage production.
The dextrin carrier provides excellent water solubility for clear beverages, low bitterness that does not mask flavor profiles, and superior flowability for automated high-speed filling lines. This grade is specifically formulated to meet the processing requirements of functional food manufacturers while maintaining the core functional benefits of green tea amino acid.
- 20% and 40% standardized active content — flexible dosing for different application needs
- Excellent cold/warm water solubility — clear solution, no haze or sediment in RTD beverages
- Low bitterness profile — does not compromise flavor systems in confectionery and bakery
- Superior flowability — reduces powder bridging, ensures accurate automated filling
- Cost-effective alternative to high-purity grades — ideal for mainstream food products
- Functional relaxation benefits — reduces stress, improves focus without sedation
Food Processing Tips: Recommended usage: 0.1%~0.5% in beverages (100~500mg theanine per serving). For confectionery, add during mixing/liquefaction stage below 80°C. Stable in pH 3.0~8.0. Excellent heat stability, compatible with pasteurization and UHT processing. In bakery, retains activity through standard baking process.

Food Processing Technical Guide for L-Theanine 20% / 40%
Processing Parameter Guidelines
- Solubility: Dissolves in cold/warm water (10~40°C) within 30 seconds with gentle stirring
- pH Stability: Maintains stability across pH 3.0~8.0
- Heat Stability: Stable up to 100°C for 60 minutes, compatible with pasteurization and UHT
- Baking Tolerance: Retains activity through standard baking processes (up to 180°C, 20~30 min)
- Flavor Compatibility: Compatible with fruit flavors (citrus, berry), tea, mint, chocolate
- Humidity Sensitivity: Store in sealed packaging below 60% RH to prevent caking
Tip: For best results in beverages, dissolve L-Theanine powder in a small portion of warm water (30~40°C) before adding to the main batch. This prevents clumping and ensures uniform distribution.
