A solid beverage composition has disintegration properties such that the composition is readily soluble or dispersible in hot water or hot milk to produce a beverage. This is achieved by compressing a powdered extract of an edible material and controlling the compression force, in conjunction with the use of an edible oil as the sole binder. In addition, the particle sizes of the powdered extract can be controlled to optimize the flow properties of the powder in order to aid the compression process.

The present disclosure is intended to enhance various effects of a green tea extract such as catechin in the most effective manner. The ratio (B/A) of epigallocatechin gallate (A) contained in the green tea extract and flavanone glycoside (B) contained in the citrus extract is 0.2<B/A<1.6, or a ratio (C/A) of epigallocatechin gallate (A) and eriocitrin (C) contained in the citrus extract is 0.2<C/A<0.5.

An AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activating agent comprises 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O—(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-b-D-glucose (“GHG”) as an active ingredient. The AMPK activating agent can be a GHG-containing composition wherein the GHG is an active ingredient of the composition. The GHG-containing composition can be derived from Kenyan purple tea, whose scientific name is Camellia sinensis, variety name: TRFK306. An effective amount of the GHG can be administered to a cell to activate the AMPK. Drinks, foods, and cosmetics can have the GHG as an active ingredient.

An aromatizing material is disclosed that has green layer aroma and makes one feel its aroma in a sustained way. The tea aromatizing liquid composition comprises dimethyl sulfide and β-ionone, and has a weight ratio of β-ionone content to dimethyl sulfide content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.01 to 3.5.

The invention is directed to a composition comprising a green tea flower extract and methods for making and using the composition in the management of a healthy body weight. The composition can comprise an aqueous alcohol extract of Camellia sinensis that is administered to a patient to provide a method for maintaining a healthy body weight.
