Matcha Discoloration During Baking
High baking temperatures can alter chlorophyll, the natural pigment responsible for matcha's green color, resulting in duller green, yellowish, or brownish tones. Where the recipe allows, optimizing baking time and temperature or applying matcha in lower-heat components such as cream fillings and frostings may improve color retention. VG Matcha can help compare grades under different baking conditions. Contact us for more detailed information and bakery application solutions.
