FORTIUM®A Dry
Natural Acerola Extract
FORTIUM A Dry is a natural, plant-based solution, source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), widely recognized in the meat industry. This natural component is designed to help to extend shelf life while maintaining product quality, including the preservation of colour ensuring freshness throughout the product’s lifecycle, all while supporting clean label formulations.
FORTIUM A Dry protects organoleptic and nutritional qualities over time. It minimizes undesirable changes in colour specifically in ground beef and ground pork. FORTIUM A Dry delivers consistent results and supports your brand’s commitment to quality and naturalness.
Acerola extract, a good source of vitamin C, accelerates the curing process, making it more efficient, also in conjunction with nitrites. In addition to speeding up curing, the ascorbic acid present in acerola extract effectively delays oxidation, helping maintain colour, flavour, and overall product appeal for longer.
Why Choose FORTIUM A Dry?
Acerola extract, naturally rich in vitamin C, slows down the oxidation of iron in myoglobin, the pigment responsible for meat’s red colour. While acerola alone provides excellent colour protection, its effectiveness increases significantly when combined with plant-based extracts such as rosemary and green tea. This combination delivers superior protection for both colour and flavour during extended storage.
The combination of acerola (FORTIUM A Dry) and plant extracts NaturFORT™12 Dry) is available in dry format as a premium option to protect colour and flavour. Kemin also offers NaturCEASE™ Dry with additionally buffered vinegar included in the mix as a full one-stop-shop solution, providing you with all the convenience you need.
