Oxidation

A Stability Assurance program to control oxidation is important for the production of palatable & healthy pet food.

  • Antioxidants prevent rancidity by sacrificing themselves rather than allowing the fat to oxidize.
  • According to Kemin the ideal antioxidant system includes chelators, antioxidants and surfactants.

 

Natural

Pets humanization and new human trends towards natural food keep driving Kemin’s focus on natural antioxidants.

 

Naturox®

Naturox offers the highest ratio of delta:gamma homologues:

  • The delta homologue is the most potent antioxidant
  • Delta homologues have the greatest resistance to high temperatures
  • The delta homologue has the greatest retention through the stress of diet storage
  • The high level of delta homologue protects the alpha homologue (Vitamin E) from sacrificing itself, thus protecting the nutritional integrity of the diet

 

Naturox® is designed to:

  • Protect pet foods, pet treats and petfood ingredients from autoxidative deterioration
  • Preserve freshness
  • Extend shelf-life of the diet

Omega-3 Solutions

Vegetable and marine oils high in omega-3 fatty acids are difficult to stabilize. Omega-3 Solutions helps pets and their owners enjoy the benefits of these healthy ingredients, ensuring pet food will remain fresh and wholesome.

 

PARAMEGA™

PARAMEGA antioxidants are specifically designed to protect difficult-to-stabilize petfood ingredients and diets, including vegetable and marine oils (high in omega-3 fatty acids).

Synthetic

Numerous antioxidants are used in the production of pet food.

 

The antioxidants BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), TBHQ (tert-butylhydroquinone), ethoxyquin and propyl gallate do an effective job of controlling the free radical chain reaction associated with the autoxidation process.

 

The scientists at Kemin recognized that these antioxidants react differently depending on the process and the substrate that is being stabilized.

 

Kemin produces a range of formulations that can be matched to a specific substrate to provide maximum protection from autoxidation.

 

PET-OX® and TERMOX™

Containing synthetic antioxidants, PET-OX and TERMOX are a range of products designed to protect pet food, pet treats and petfood ingredients from autoxidative deterioration.

  

RENDOX®

Containing synthetic antioxidants, RENDOX is designed to protect rendered petfood ingredients from autoxidative deterioration.

Microbial Spoilage & Safety

Kemin understands molds and mycotoxins can severely affect the quality and safety of pet foods.

  • Serious health problems may occur when molds and mycotoxins are consumed by animals
  • Economic losses often result due to depletion of nutrients and reduction in palatability

 

The mold inhibitors developed by Kemin

  • Protect the food from microbial spoilage
  • Allow more flexibility in water management of the final diet
  • Increase total palatability of the food
