- Applications
- CytoGuard™ LA 2X can be used at low dosages with no perceptible impact on flavor. CytoGuard Stat-N flavors can be used in a wide range of food products such as:
- Meat
- Poultry
- Seafood
- Dairy and non-dairy items – dips/dressings, refrigerated salads

- CytoGuard™ LA 2X can be used at low dosages with no perceptible impact on flavor. CytoGuard Stat-N flavors can be used in a wide range of food products such as:
- Usage
- CytoGuard Stat-N flavors should be incorporated into products taking the place of water in the formulation – improving shelf life by 30%. Typical usage is 1% - 2% of the product formulation.
- CytoGuard Stat-N can be used in conjunction with CytoGuard® LA to further improve efficacy. In the above example, CytoGuard LA was used to reduce intital bacterial loads and CytoGuard Stat-N maintained lower counts throughout shelf-life.
- Application for Surface Treatment
- CytoGuard Stat-N can also be applied as a surface treatment. By targeting the primary location of bacterial growth, the preservative effect is maximized, while minimizing any secondary sensory impact.
- When using as a surface application, CytoGuard Stat-N can also be mixed directly with a bacterial agent such as CytoGuard LA.
