Consumer-friendly Shelf Life Extension Solutions

Traditionally, antioxidants serving the food industry have included synthetic options such as Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), or Tertiary-Butylhydroquinone (TBHQ).

As consumers began to pay more attention to, and better understand ingredient labels, food products lacking synthetic ingredients are desired. With this change in consumer preference, an increase for consumer-friendly solutions to replace traditionally used synthetic antioxidants is needed.

Derived from plants, FORTIUM MT provides a desirable alternative that meets consumer preferences for label-friendly ingredients and has shown to be especially efficacious in extending the shelf life of food products with high fat and oil content.

What are Mixed Tocopherols?

Tocopherols are fat-soluble antioxidants that protect from damage caused by free radicals. When used in foods, tocopherols help protect against color and flavor degradation caused by lipid oxidation.

A pale yellow oil, with little odor or taste, tocopherols are structurally similar compounds that occur in nature in four forms: alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and delta-tocopherol.

Tocopherols that are derived from plant products are often referred to as “mixed tocopherols” because they contain all four forms of tocopherol. These mixed tocopherols, can help maintain the freshness and shelf life of products and provide a desirable alternative to time-tested synthetic antioxidants.
