only a nutritious food crop for health but also a key crop in the sustainable poverty reduction of mountainous farmers and helping farmers improve their local economic situation in the establishment and development of the new countryside, being the place to develop tourism for many regions of the mountainous and midland regions Green tea - a familiar and long-standing drink, has widespread popularity around the world According to modern scientific researchers, green tea contains many healthy chemical compounds such as: Polyphenols - catechins, caffeine, amino acids These are substances that work to increase resistance, keep the body healthy, reduce stress, fight aging, cut the risk of heart and cancer disease… When the tea is diluted, water can only partially extract the valuable antioxidants as well as minerals, most of the nutritional value is in the residue that people often throw away On average, a cup of matcha is equivalent to 10 cups of regular brewed green tea [20] Commonly, matcha is divided into types of matcha powder: matcha is for drinking, matcha for cooking, and for cosmetic use Matcha for drinking is the original use of matcha, being a tea with a natural aroma, having a mild acrid taste and is selected from young leaves, with high prices In addition, this matcha powder can be used in cosmetics with a variety of uses Matcha for cooking has a strong flavor, often using older tea leaves, maximizing the use of ingredients, often cheaper than drinking matcha The production of matcha diversified products from tea leaves and can be used in many products of the food and pharmaceutical industries From the above reasons, I have chosen the topic: “Survey of Matcha green tea powder process at Ntea Viet Nam J.S.c in Dong Hy- Thai Nguyen” 1.2

manufacturers against the requirements of standards: It is important to consider the activities, consider the requirements and extent of the food manufacturer’s response This assessment is the basis for planning human resources that need to be changed or supplemented Thereby, the company builds detailed programs and projects to ensure control of food safety hazards at all times when consumption Benefits of ISO 22000: 2005: - Achieved ISO 22000: 2005 certification, allowing companies and businesses to compete in international markets In the domestic market, this can help the company stay one step ahead of its competitors - Thanks to a systematic approach, risks are controlled more efficiently, quickly, and flexibly - Since the risk points are pre-defined, production defects should be avoided, thereby reducing production costs - Food poisoning is completely prevented - All consumer food safety needs are fully met - Everyone working in the organization is aware of food safety and hygiene issues - Control inventory more effectively - Delivery time is done exactly - Guaranteed consumer satisfaction from which to get their trust 48 Figure 14: ISO 22000: 2005 certification Every product put into production is required for quality, quantity; regardless of the error, it must be fully recorded and investigated to find the cause and the way to be handled After quality inspection meets new standards, it will be delivered to consumers 49 For each factory, there is always a QC department - which helps to check the quality step by step in the production process This department inspects the sampling, checks the starting materials, packaging materials, and controls all production stages Figure 15: Certification of food hygiene and safety 50 3.7.3 Biocert-IFOAM certification: 3.7.3.1 Introduction to Biocert-IFOAM: IFOAM (International Federation of Organic Agruculture Movements): is the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movement with 870 members in 120 countries Founded in 1972 in France in a conference on organic agriculture organized by the French farmer organization [8] The organic industry has undergone extraordinary changes in phases: Organic 1.0, Organic 2.0, and Organic 3.0 Organic 1.0: Pioneers from around the world Organic 1.0 was started by numerous pioneers, who observed the problems with the direction agriculture was taking at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century They saw the need for a radical change[17][9] Organic 2.0: Norming and Performing: There is more and more evidence highlighting the positive impacts of organic on a range of important issues including consumer health, biodiversity, animal welfare and the improved livelihoods of producers[17][9] Organic 3.0: Approved by our General Assembly in 2017, the overall goal of Organic 3.0 is to enable a widespread uptake of truly sustainable farming systems and markets based on the principles of organic agriculture[17][9] IFOAM standards are applicable in the fields of: agricultural production (including plant varieties), livestock (including beekeeping), aquaculture, wild animals, food processing[ 8] Purpose: - Applied the principle of organic agriculture on ecological, economic and social factors of the world 51 - Allows for widespread adoption of truly sustainable farming systems and markets based on organic principles and imbued with a culture of innovation, improving progress towards best practices, transparency integrity, comprehensive collaboration, overall system and real pricing [17] Mission: - Lead, unite and support the organic farming movement Value: - IFOAM holds an important position as the international organization of the organic world, uniting stakeholders from all aspects of the industry to create a common voice on organic issues - IFOAM operates fairly, comprehensively, with the participation and appreciation of other organic agricultural movements In the process of implementing the goals, IFOAM proceeds to implement courses, sticking to organic agriculture movements based on principles Support ecological and social change to facilitate trade, production, support organic development and train the next generation of leaders [8] 3.7.3.2 IFOAM standards are applied in Ntea Thai Nguyen: Land and water: Be tested periodically every months Fertilizer: The Company does not use chemical fertilizers in organic production, chemical plant protection drugs, growth stimulants, does not use human manure, and compost is made from municipal waste 52 Agricultural residues and animal manure took from outside the farm must be heated and decomposed before being used in organic farming Cultivar: The factory uses the locally available midland tea garden for renovation, sufficient to adapt to local soil, climatic conditions, and resistance to pests and diseases Maintained and managed organically for 12 - 36 months before being certified organic Management of pests, diseases, and weeds: Always comply with IFOAM standards for substances used to control harmful microorganisms and disease Pests, diseases, and weeds are always prevented before the breeding season Pests: Mold is controlled by Ntea in rainy seasons, before the rainy season, water nano silver to control fungus Watering garlic lemongrass chili herb to prevent pests, bugs, mosquitoes, During the breeding season can often water herbs (once every days), when many worms appear, we proceed to catch them manually Weed: we need to remove weeds at the base of the tea to be able to protect the base of the tea plant from damage and from weed competition for nutrients Raw material preservation: Store ingredients in a cold room of 16 ° C, placed on a shelf at least 10cm away from the floor Avoiding mold, avoid water entering the material storage, always keep dry and clean Ntea Thai Nguyen Joint Stock Company is honored to be the first unit in the Vietnam Tea Association to be directly visited and awarded by Biocert 53 International (India) and awarded international organic certification for its achievements in production and business activities according to the standards of organic agriculture in IFOAM

increasingly appearing on the market that not meet international quality standards The purpose of this thesis is to survey the production process of organic green tea powder at Ntea Thai Nguyen Joint Stock Company Matcha is an organic product so the manufacturing process must be strictly followed from cultivation to finished products Steaming and crushing are two particularly important steps because it affects the quality, taste and color of matcha The manufacturing process of matcha organic green tea powder at Tea meets all quality standards Matcha Ntea is economical price but the quality of the product is highly appreciated, there is not too much difference from Japanese matcha products Matcha Ntea organic green tea powder is used in two forms of beverage and beauty Basically
