Green tea is made from the Camellia sinensis plant. Its dried leaves and leaf buds are used to make several teas, including black and oolong teas. Green tea is prepared by steaming and pan-frying the Camellia sinensis leaves and then drying them. Green tea is not fermented, so it’s able to maintain necessary molecules called polyphenols, which seem to be responsible for many of its benefits. It also contains caffeine. Drinking green tea is linked to a reduced risk of clogged arteries. Drinking green tea might reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure. It might also slightly lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure.

Food and feed additives are substances that are added to food to maintain or improve the safety, freshness, taste, texture, or appearance of food or feed. Some food additives have been in use for centuries for preservation – such as salt (in meats such as bacon or dried fish), sugar (in marmalade), or sulfur dioxide (in wine). Food additives can be derived from plants, animals, or minerals, or they can be synthetic. They are added intentionally to food to perform certain technological purposes which consumers often take for granted. Feed additives are products used in animal nutrition to achieve an effect on the feed itself, on the animals, on food products obtained from the animals consuming the feed additive, or on the environment. For instance, feed additives are used to enhance flavor of feed, meet the need for certain nutrients or increase the performance of animals in good health. They are used in feed for food-producing animals and in pet food. Feed additives include technological additives, sensory additives, nutritional additives, zootechnical additives, coccidiostats, and histomonostats.
