PRESERVATIVES AND ANTIOXIDANTS

Are there natural preservatives and antioxidants for the food industry?

At Amerex we work with natural preservatives and antioxidants thanks to our use of biotechnology that allows us to offer alternatives to chemical additives used in the food industry as preservatives.

In the different types of efficacy trials we present, whether to eliminate additives, process, extend shelf life or improve food safety, we repeatedly mention preservatives and antioxidants which we replace. Does this mean that we are extremists in the elimination of all additives? No, every decision has to be carefully considered in terms of all parameters.

Are there synergies between preservatives and antioxidants?

Whether preservatives and antioxidants are chemical or natural, the reality is that the challenges to be solved are interconnected.  The combination of all these ingredients is always part of the solution. In fact, many of our formulas have a combination of different preservative strategies, which makes them more complete solutions. This creates the concept of synergy, with better results from two ingredients combined versus separately.

What experience does Amerex have in the use of natural preservatives and antioxidants?

Here is an example of a case study in which one of our natural antioxidants is able to improve the final result with less dosage when combined with another of our natural preservatives.
