Appeal to Consumers and Prevent Microbial Spoilage

As more and more consumers pay attention to the ingredients in their food products, manufacturers need to consider alternatives to synthetic preservatives. SHIELD V can help food brands appeal to consumers by formulating delicious, fresh, and safe food products—with an attractive ingredient list.

SHIELD V combines the preservation properties of buffered vinegar with a botanical extract that is a source of sorbic acid. The active ingredients work in synergy to slow down the development of mold, ensuring product freshness over time—providing an unparalleled solution for inhibiting mold growth and extending shelf life of baked goods, emulsions, sauces, dressings, and other highly aqueous foods.

The result is a powerful solution that inhibits or delays mold growth and prolongs freshness and quality in a variety of applications, such as bread, cakes, muffins, fillings and other highly aqueous items.3

Unlike traditional preservation methods, SHIELD V is a consumer-friendly option that boasts a balanced flavor and heat stability.
