SHIELD Dry

SHIELD Dry is a dry calcium propionate designed for bread, tortillas, and other bakery items. This preservative effectively inhibits mould growth and spoilage bacteria, helping extend shelf life without compromising taste or texture. 

Its dry format ensures easy mixing with bakery ingredients, providing consistent performance and convenient handling for manufacturers.

 


SHIELD GEM Dry

SHIELD GEM Dry is an advanced encapsulated preservative designed for bakery applications.

Bread relies on biological fermentation for texture, flavour, and volume, however traditional preservatives like sorbic acid can inhibit yeast activity, affecting dough rise and quality. SHIELD® GEM Dry solves this challenge by controlling the release of sorbic acid during processing and storage, maintaining antimicrobial efficacy while minimizing interference with yeast activity.

This innovative technology helps preserve dough rheology and sensory attributes, extending shelf life without compromising freshness or product quality..
