Fats, oils, PUFAs

Enhance the shelf-life of your cooking oils, frying oils, fats, and fish oils with our natural and traditional antioxidant systems, synergistically composed for your application. Vitablend antioxidants are chosen to offer the highest regards to quality, safety, and naturalness.

Infant formula, specialized & sport nutrition, dairy and more

Protecting the very sensitive applications is part of our DNA . To supply a dry infant formula product with enhanced shelf-life, we apply an antioxidant system that is based on the use of synergistic Tocopherol-Ascorbyl palmitate blends, which are easily dosed into the oil blend prior to spray-drying, therefor we can significantly increase the shelf life of the unstabilized formula. We do have a large range of specific system to protect the large range of dairy based, fortified, powders based applications.

Cereals, cereals bars

Extruded cereals, nutritional bars, sport nutrition, can contain a significant amount of oils and PUFAs. however, during production and storage, they are prone to oxidation, leading to a reduction in vitamin integrity, as well as shelf-life, and taste. Our antioxidants fight oxidation, we have a large range of liquid and powder natural systems to maintain the nutritional and organoleptic properties of the finish product.

Savoury, meat applications

Potato chips, croutons, crumb coatings, and many other fried foods benefit from an enhanced shelf-life with the careful selection of cost-effective, and targeted antioxidant systems to the frying oil. Potatoes contain unsaturated fatty acids, which are susceptible to oxidation during the high-temperature processing steps of potato flake production. Oxidation in the stored potato flakes leads to further off-flavors.

Processed meat, poultry, and fish are susceptible to oxidation of their fats, leading to the loss of color, taste, and quality. Natural systems, such as Rosemary or Tocopherol from Vitablend improve flavor stability and retain the meat‘s pink color, without negatively impacting taste. Rosemary and Tocopherol systems are high-temperature resistant, as well as being available in oil- or water-soluble formats.

Gummies, gum base

Everyone loves confectionery, especially children. These very often contains vitamins, PUFAs which are important for the health of the consumer. Take, for example, multivitamin gummies that also contains DHA. It is important to maintain the nutritional properties and protect with natural antioxidants. Same with the gumbase used in chewing gum, it contains a number of ingredients such as oils, unsaturated elastomers, and plasticizers, which are all subject to oxidation during the gum’s shelf-life. Vitablend have the right solutions to protect all these applications.
