Antioxidants are molecules that:
How Do They Work?
Antioxidants delay the onset of oxidation by donating hydrogen atoms to quench free radicals, forming a stable antioxidant radical that is unable to participate in propagation reactions, slowing down oxidation.
At Kemin, our experienced technical team uses their extensive know-how to develop solutions that positively impact shelf life. We understand the synergies between ingredients and the most effective way to delay oxidation in each specific food matrix. We offer single ingredients and highly effective blends to help solve your colour and flavour issues, so you can keep your product fresh for a longer period of time.
For a variety of food products such as meat, poultry and fish, sauces, oils, snack foods, cereals and many others.
