Tea and herbal infusions have been known for millennia for their health benefits. However for plants and active ingredients (of mineral and animal origin), it is necessary to consume very large quantities to achieve what is called the health claim dose, i.e., the dose for which the effect on health claim is established. Camellia sinensis leaves is traditionally used as plant infusion. This article aims to review the innovation afforded by the ABC (Bio Concentrate Assets®) patent. The ABC patent has developed an exclusive method of enriching organic tea leaves with organic herbal dry plant extracts using organic acacia gum. This method allows the coupling of concentrated dry extracts from medicinal plants on the Camellia sinensis leave extracts using acacia gum (arabic gum) and to reach to low enough health claim doses thanks to a higher concentration of active ingredients (tested until 10 ingredients). An example of ABC application is provided in a brief overview of manufacturing process for the "Gingo® tea" preparation. The main advantages of the ABC patent application are discussed. In conclusion, the ABC process offers a real breakthrough in the market of teas and herbal teas for health and wellness.
数千年来，茶和草本浸液因其对健康有益而闻名。然而，对于植物以及（矿物质和动物来源的）活性成分而言，必须大量食用才能达到所谓的健康声称剂量，即已确定对健康声称有影响的剂量。传统上，茶树叶子被用作植物浸液。本文旨在回顾ABC（生物浓缩资产®）专利所带来的创新。ABC专利开发了一种使用有机阿拉伯胶用有机草本干燥植物提取物富集有机茶叶的独家方法。这种方法可以利用阿拉伯胶将药用植物的浓缩干燥提取物与茶树叶子提取物结合起来，并且由于活性成分浓度更高（已测试多达10种成分），能够达到足够低的健康声称剂量。在“银杏茶”制剂的制造过程简要概述中提供了ABC应用的一个例子。讨论了ABC专利申请的主要优点。总之，ABC工艺在保健茶和花草茶市场上实现了真正的突破。
