SHIELD V Plus Dry

SHIELD V Plus Dry is a powerful solution for the bakery industry, combining buffered vinegar and botanical extract to naturally inhibit mould growth. This innovative natural food preparation blend helps your products stay fresh longer without compromising on quality.


SHIELD V Plus Dry serves as an excellent alternative to  synthetic preservatives, commonly used in the food industry.
Sorbic acid is known for its antimicrobial properties, which help prevent spoilage in various food products. SHIELD V Plus Dry leverages the natural occurrence of organic acids in its formulation, providing a comparable level of protection without synthetic preservatives.

By leveraging organic acids for antimicrobial benefits, SHIELD V Plus Dry helps prevent spoilage in baked goods (cakes, tortillas, flatbreads), sauces, dressings, and other high-moisture foods.

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.

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..
