Use Natural Antioxidants To Replace Synthetic Preservatives
- Our natural antioxidants play an ever-increasing role in the food industry as the industry continues its rapid shift away from the probable carcinogens BHA and BHT. And, while there is an overabundance of antioxidant choices, A&B Ingredients has centered its focus on a line of natural, plant-based antioxidants with clean label options.
- CytoGuard natural antioxidants are produced through a solvent-free extraction of the phenolic compounds naturally present in select plants. CytoGuard natural antioxidants have a clean flavor profile and have minimal impact on the organoleptic properties of food products at typical usage levels.
Clean Label Solution For Food Oxidation
- A&B's line of natural antioxidants provides a clean label solution that addresses the problems of oxidation in food manufacturing. For instance, rancidity in certain foods results from lipid material (fat) undergoing oxidation reactions that produce aldehydes, ketones, keta acids and other compounds responsible for odor and off-flavors. Not only does this cause flavor and quality loss, but it also affects the nutritional quality of your food product, not to mention the health risks. CytoGuard water-soluble antioxidants can help reduce oxidation at the lipid/water interface. CytoGuard oil-soluble antioxidants can help extend the shelf life of the oils and the shelf life of the fried foods.
