What is Green Coffee Bean Extract standardised for?

Green Coffee Bean Extract is standardised for total chlorogenic acids (CGA) — a family of polyphenols dominated by 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA) — measured by HPLC. SV Botanica supplies grades at 45% and 50% total chlorogenic acids. CGA is the primary marker compound linked to the extract's antioxidant and metabolic activity. Because chlorogenic acids degrade on roasting, only unroasted (green) beans are used.

What part of the coffee plant is used and which species?

The unroasted (green) seeds — commonly called beans — of Coffea canephora (Robusta) and Coffea arabica are used. Robusta beans carry a naturally higher chlorogenic acid content, making them the preferred raw material for high-CGA grades. Beans are sourced from South India's coffee belt, cleaned, milled, and extracted via a validated water/hydro-alcoholic system to preserve the chlorogenic acid profile.

Does Green Coffee Bean Extract contain caffeine, and is a decaffeinated grade available?

Green coffee beans naturally contain caffeine, so standard extract grades retain a defined caffeine level (typically declared on the CoA, e.g. 2–5% in 45–50% CGA grades). SV Botanica also supplies caffeine-controlled and decaffeinated (≤0.5% caffeine) grades for clean-label and caffeine-sensitive formulations. Specify your caffeine target at the time of inquiry.

What is the recommended dose of Green Coffee Bean Extract in supplements?

Clinical studies on standardised green coffee extract typically use 400 mg twice daily, delivering roughly 45–50% chlorogenic acids per dose. Common supplement formats provide 200–400 mg of extract per serving. Dose should be set against the standardisation grade and the finished-product claim. See our chlorogenic acid benefits article for the evidence base by application.

Does SV Botanica supply a decaffeinated or low-caffeine Green Coffee Extract?

Yes. Alongside standard caffeine-bearing grades, SV Botanica supplies decaffeinated (≤0.5% caffeine) and caffeine-controlled green coffee bean extract while maintaining the standardised 45–50% chlorogenic acid content. Decaffeination is performed using food-grade processing; residual-solvent and caffeine results are reported on each CoA. Minimum order and lead times for decaf grades may differ — please specify at inquiry.

What certifications and documentation does SV Botanica provide with Green Coffee Bean Extract?

Every batch ships with: Certificate of Analysis (CoA) — CGA assay by HPLC, caffeine content, moisture, heavy metals, microbiology, mesh size; MSDS; Allergen Declaration; BSE/TSE-free statement; Country of Origin Certificate; Non-GMO affidavit; Halal/Kosher certificates on request; Phytosanitary Certificate for export; FSSAI and APEDA documentation for Indian regulatory compliance.

How does Green Coffee Bean Extract compare to Green Tea Extract?

Both are polyphenol-rich metabolic and antioxidant ingredients, but their marker chemistry differs. Green Coffee Bean Extract is standardised for chlorogenic acids (CGA), associated with glucose-handling and post-meal metabolic support. Green Tea Extract is standardised for catechins (notably EGCG), associated with thermogenesis and fat oxidation. They are frequently combined in weight-management and energy formulations. See our green coffee vs green tea comparison for formulation guidance.

What is the shelf life and storage condition for bulk Green Coffee Bean Extract?

Bulk Green Coffee Bean Extract has a shelf life of 24–36 months from manufacture date when stored correctly: cool (≤25°C), dry (<60% RH), dark environment in sealed containers. Chlorogenic acids are sensitive to heat and moisture, so protection from humidity and light is important. Product ships in 25 kg HDPE drums or multi-wall kraft bags with polyethylene inner liner to maintain integrity in transit.

Can Green Coffee Bean Extract be used in food and beverage products?

Yes. Water-soluble and granular grades are available for functional beverages, metabolic and energy shots, sports-nutrition mixes, and effervescent tablets. The extract has a characteristic mildly bitter, slightly astringent profile typical of polyphenol ingredients. Food-grade batches are manufactured under FSSAI-licensed facilities and comply with the FSS (Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals…) Regulations, 2022.

What is Green Coffee Bean Extract?

The polyphenol ingredient behind the modern metabolic-support category

Green Coffee Bean Extract is produced from the unroasted (green) seeds of the coffee plant — primarily Coffea canephora (Robusta) and Coffea arabica. The roasting that gives coffee its flavour also destroys much of its most valuable phytochemistry, so the extract is made from raw, un-roasted beans to preserve the active fraction.

The primary bioactives are chlorogenic acids (CGA) — a family of polyphenol esters dominated by 5-caffeoylquinic acid (5-CQA), alongside 3-CQA, 4-CQA, feruloylquinic acids and dicaffeoylquinic acids. Green beans also naturally contain caffeine, trigonelline, and trace tannins. Chlorogenic acids are the marker compounds quantified by HPLC and form the basis of every standardised grade.

SV Botanica sources green coffee beans from South India's coffee belt — Karnataka (Kodagu/Coorg and Chikmagalur) and the high ranges of Kerala (Wayanad) — regions whose Robusta supports consistently high chlorogenic acid content. Our extraction uses a validated water/hydro-alcoholic system at controlled temperatures to protect the heat-sensitive CGA profile, yielding a clean, light yellowish-brown powder that disperses readily in formulations.

We supply weight-management and sports-nutrition brands, functional-beverage companies, and contract formulators across Europe, the USA, Japan, and Southeast Asia. New buyers can start with our green coffee extract buyer's guide for sourcing and specification benchmarks.
