Antioxidants are molecules that significantly delay or prevent oxidation, lengthen shelf life, and help maintain consumer acceptance and brand loyalty. We understand the synergies of ingredient behaviors and use our extensive know-how to develop oxidative control solutions that positively affect shelf life. Unlike processing or packaging changes, ingredient adjustments are the most cost-effective method to delay oxidation.3
