Ever wished your packaged foods stayed fresh longer? Well, the major reason that affects the food deterioration is the auto-oxidation of lipids which impacts the flavour, aroma, texture and nutritional quality. Foods processed under high temperature have shorter shelf-life due to accelerated oxidation, hence the need for an effective natural clean label anti-oxidant solution.
Kancor's OxiKan R Plus is just that, a unique natural rosemary based antioxidant that performs outstandingly in high fat and heat conditions.
To further understand the effect of OxiKan R Plus in prolonging the shelf-life of food products that are processed under high temperature conditions, we conducted an oxidative stability study on oven-baked pita chips.
