GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT IS AN UNROASTED, DRIED, NATURAL COFFEE BEAN. ROASTING COFFEE TRANSFORMS THE CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF GREEN COFFEE BEANS, TURNING THEM INTO COMMON COFFEE PRODUCTS. THE ROASTING PROCESS PRODUCES THE CHARACTERISTIC FLAVOUR OF COFFEE AS THE GREEN COFFEE BEANS CHANGE IN COLOR, TASTE, SMELL AND DENSITY. ROASTING ALSO MAKES THE COFFEE BEAN MORE UNSTABLE. AS A RESULT, IT CAN BECOME RANCID EASILY. UNROASTED GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT IS A NEW INGREDIENT ON THE MARKET. IT HAS STRONG ANTI-OXIDANT PROPERTIES, SIMILAR TO OTHER NATURAL ANTI-OXIDANTS LIKE GREEN TEA AND GRAPE SEED EXTRACT. CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS CONTAINS CAFFEINE.
