FORTIUM^® MT

Traditionally, antioxidants serving the food industry have included synthetic options such as Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), or Tertiary-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). As consumers begin to read and better understand ingredient labels, food products lacking synthetic ingredients are desired. With this change in consumer preference, an increase for consumer-friendly solutions to replace traditionally used synthetic antioxidants is needed.

FORTIUM MT, a robust line of tocopherol-based, plant-derived antioxidants, is effective at protecting a variety of food applications from color and flavor degradation. Our plant-derived antioxidants have shown to be especially efficacious in extending the shelf life of food products with high fat/oil content. FORTIUM MT provides a desirable alternative to time-tested synthetic antioxidants. This plant-derived antioxidant is applicable in a wide range of food products. Mixed tocopherols have good solubility in fats and oils and are heat stable ingredients with no sensory impact making them easy to work with in many food applications.

With the inclusion of tocopherols in foods, manufacturers benefit from the increased relative freshness of their product provided by FORTIUM MT’s ability to extend shelf life to yield high quality manufactured foods without flavor contributions.

FORTIUM MT is offered in both liquid and dry formulas, as well as in blends with other plant-based extracts, for easy incorporation into your products’ processing needs.

Innovation with FORTIUM MT

Technical Download: Effect of FORTIUM® MTD10 Plant Derived Tocopherols in Fresh Sausages

Fresh, raw, pork sausage products are very prone to oxidation under refrigeration temperatures. However, consumers are demanding that traditionally used synthetic antioxidants be removed from these products and replaced with nature-derived alternatives. The purpose of this study was to show the efficacy of FORTIUM MTD10, a tocopherol based, plant-derived antioxidant, in extending the shelf-life of fresh, pork sausage.
