Functional ingredients and Solutions
Food Protection- Antioxidants
Give your food an extended shelf life using Kalsec’s cutting edge antioxidant blends. Many customers are looking for “healthy” oils in their products. Healthy oils with less saturated fat often present a challenge of faster development of off aromas, especially in conditions such as frying. Antioxidants can be effectively used to protect fried snacks (for instance flavoured and unflavoured crisps, chips, nuts and seeds) against oxidation, resulting in enhanced consumer shelf appeal through increased colour stability and improved shelf-life due to oxidative stability, leading to reduced food waste.
