Natural Antioxidants for Petfood Stability

Successful formulation with natural antioxidants in pet foods demands a thorough understanding of how processing impacts the stability of a finished pet food diet. Selecting the right antioxidant at the right dosage level is key to achieving desired shelf-life targets. For over 25 years, Kemin has led the way in developing natural antioxidant formulations that satisfy consumer expectations.

Synthetic Antioxidants for Maximum Protection from Oxidation

There are several synthetic antioxidant options available for the control of free radical chain reactions in the pet food and rendering manufacturing processes. These include Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), Tertiary butyl hydroquinone (TBHQ), Ethoxyquin (EQ), and Propyl gallate (PG). Kemin understands that the effectiveness of these antioxidants is determined by the manufacturing process and by the kind of ingredients that are being stabilized. You can be confident that our diverse portfolio of synthetic antioxidant formulations provides maximum protection from oxidation.
