When it comes to meat and poultry, color changes are linked to specific oxidation chemistry. Most consumers base their protein buying decisions on a fresh appearance and equate appealing color with quality and freshness. Since consumers make their purchase decisions based on color, manufacturers have a challenge, when it comes to maintaining a fresh appearance.

Kemin products like our Acerola cherry (Malpighia emarginata) extract and blends are effective at delaying the oxidation of the iron ion in the myoglobin molecule.
