Flavoproteins are proteins that contain a nucleic acid derivative of riboflavin. Flavoproteins removes the free radicals that contributes to oxidative stress and have an important role in DNA repair. The raw material used, is free from plant growth hormones and pesticides, helping to maintain high levels of nutrients in the finished product. The objective of this paper work is to identify the variant with the highest concentration of flavoproteins following the green tea sweetening process, in order to produce the most effective product for an innovative food supplement. The results of this phase of research have identified the variant with the highest concentration of flavoproteins following the green tea sweetening process. The best variant obtained at this stage of research is characterized by sensory improvements and minimal changes in chemical composition compared to the unsweetened variant.
