FORTIUM™ R

Natural Color & Flavor Protection

In today’s marketplace, manufacturers are faced with the challenge of maintaining fresh appearances and sensory qualities in food products. At Kemin, we strive to address these challenges with consumer-friendly ingredient solutions that keep food fresher, longer.

FORTIUM™ R – Kemin’s line of rosemary extract based ingredients is designed for maximum effectiveness against color and flavor degradation. FORTIUM™ R provides an alternative to traditionally used synthetic antioxidants such as Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), or Tertiary-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ). FORTIUM™ R utilizes the carnosic acid in rosemary extract to provide shelf life protection for food products.
