NATUROX® – Natural Antioxidants for Pet Food Formulations

Natural* Antioxidants in Pet Food Diets

Pet food premiumization continues to be an important aspect to the growth of the global pet food market. The shift toward natural and healthier options has largely been driven by consumer demand for more label-friendly ingredients in pet foods, pet treats and supplements. To be sure, more and more pet owners consider their animals to be part of the family. To meet this demand, synthetic ingredients and chemical preservatives are increasingly being replaced with natural alternatives to maintain the very best nutrition for pets.

NATUROX

You can count on Kemin Nutrisurance to be ahead of the curve. For more than 30 years, we’ve been innovating and providing effective natural antioxidants that maintain the quality and extend the shelf life of rendered products and adapt to evolving changes in protein meal and fat composition and resulting shifts in antioxidant needs. 

NATUROX Antioxidants for Natural Pet Food Formulations

Kemin's global market leading NATUROX antioxidant system offers a complete line of natural liquid and dry products. Our unique formulation features a synergistic blend of natural mixed-tocopherols for superior free radical absorption, along with emulsifiers and chelators for complete protection against autoxidation. That’s why NATUROX is a must-have among pet food manufacturers, ingredient suppliers and renderers who are moving away from using synthetic ingredients and chemical preservatives.

NATUROX products may also be formulated with enriched levels of delta-tocopherol for superior antioxidant performance. Delta-tocopherol is the most effective tocopherol homologue, has better carry through during extrusion and drying processes, and provides the greatest long-term product shelf-life. The NATUROX system has a proven track record of stabilizing a wide variety of raw materials and pet food products for renderers and manufacturers.

NATUROX Offers Plant-Based Protection for Rendering and Pet Food Stability

The natural mixed-tocopherols found in NATUROX are also present in virtually all vegetable oils, whole grains, seeds and legumes. These tocopherols are a part of nature's defense system to naturally prevent oxidative damage to the polyunsaturated fats found in plants. NATUROX products include mixed-tocopherol ingredients to provide this same excellent natural protection to the unsaturated fats found in premium quality pet food diets.

The NATUROX Advantage

Not all antioxidants in pet food formulations labeled as “natural” are created equal. The NATUROX antioxidant system of dry and liquid products is formulated with:

  • Synergistic blend of natural mixed-tocopherols for superior free radical absorption, along with emulsifiers, chelators and supportive levels of botanically sourced ingredients
  • Inclusion of a natural chelator helps to prevent the formation of free radicals that start the autoxidation process and acts as a natural surfactant in liquid NATUROX products
  • NATUROX is the market-leading natural antioxidant brand and contains numerous liquid and dry formulations to meet a wide range of performance needs
  • Select formulations are enriched with delta-tocopherols — the most effective tocopherol for stabilization
  • Restricted Country of Origin, Non-GMO, Non-soy, Organic compliant and other specialty products are available
