Application of Laser Particle Size Analyzer in Tea Powder

Tea powder has a wide range of applications, extending beyond brewing. It can be incorporated into baked goods, ice cream, and drinks like matcha lattes, imparting a unique tea aroma and natural color. It can also be added to yogurt salads as a nutritional supplement or used in beauty masks. It offers a comprehensive experience from ingestion to application.

Testing the particle size distribution of tea powder is crucial for its application effectiveness. Particle size directly affects dissolution rate, flavor release, and visual appearance.

1. In beverages and baked goods, particle size directly determines sensory quality. Fine and uniform particles (for example, high-quality matcha with a D90 of less than 20μm) ensure rapid dissolution, a smooth taste, and a vibrant emerald green color, while avoiding sedimentation and graininess. Excessively coarse particles can result in a bitter, dull product.

2. In health supplements and skincare, fineness influences the bioavailability and skin feel of functional ingredients. Finer particle size means a larger surface area, significantly improving the bioavailability and skin permeability of functional ingredients (such as tea polyphenols), directly enhancing product efficacy.

Therefore, particle size analysis is the core technical basis for ensuring stable quality, optimizing production processes, and accurately matching application scenarios.

This time, Winner2309A is recommended to test the particle size distribution of tea powder. As a new generation of intelligent wet and dry laser particle size analyzers, the winner2309A represents a significant leap forward in appearance, measurement range, intelligence, and test intervals. Its measurement range is 0.01-3500μm. It is mainly used to test the particle size of metal powder, non-metal powder, other powders and emulsions, etc.

Measuring instrument information is as follows:
