The high value-added industrial application of tea residues has broad prospects

"The high value-added industrial application of tea residues will be an important direction for future exploration

The team pointed out in the article that the development and utilization of tea residues around the world mainly involve environmental protection, biodegradable materials, nutrient extraction and chemical modification

The sustainable utilization of tea residues has become a research hotspot today, and many studies have discussed the specific applications of tea residues in the fields of environmental protection, formation of value-added materials, and energy utilization

According to the latest data records, this paper introduces the production and utilization status of tea and tea residues worldwide, and expounds the main components of tea residues.

New applications of tea residues in food development, environmental remediation, energy production, and biocomposites are of far-reaching significance

The research team believes that in the comprehensive utilization of tea residues, future research focuses include: developing more efficient, high-yield and high-purity extraction processes; using the loose and porous structure of tea residues to develop more heat-insulating, low-cost electrodes materials and adsorption; more use of tea residues and active ingredients in tea residues in the food field, including the development of new functional foods and natural food additives; development of an industrial chain for recycling tea residues

With the advancement of various new technologies, tea residue has a broad space for development in the fields of agriculture, food, biomedicine, catalysis, electrochemistry and materials
