Why use Vitablend Antioxidants?
Why use Antioxidants?
- Virtually all foodstuffs containing fats or oils will be susceptible to oxidative rancidity. As this process progresses the sensorial characteristics and nutritional value of the food will deteriorate. The use of Antioxidants effectively delays this process.
- The increasing use of healthier unsaturated fats that are more prone to oxidation means an increased demand for Antioxidants in food products.
Why use Vitablend Antioxidants?
- Vitablend can develop excellent tailor made Antioxidants meeting specific customer demands.
- Vitablend Antioxidants are produced using very high quality standards that relate to very vulnerable consumer groups like infants.
Natural and synthetic Antioxidants
Natural Antioxidants
Consumers demand ‘cleaner’ labels whilst retailers demand longer shelf lives. The use of natural Antioxidants such as tocopherols and rosemary extracts can solve these problems simultaneously.
We provide natural mixed tocopherols (E306) Tocoblend® extracted from vegetable oils. In addition we provide unrefined and refined rosemary extracts with very high heat stability up to 200°C.

Synthetic Antioxidants
During the processing of food with a high oil content certain natural Antioxidants can be removed from the oils making the products more susceptible to oxidation. A range of formulated synthetic Antioxidants are available from VItablend to improve the oils natural protection against oxidative degradation and increase the oils shelf life.
We deliver: Butylated Hydroxy Anisole (BHA,E-320) Butylated Hydroxy Toluene (BHT, E-321), Teriary Butyl Hydro Quinone (TBHQ, E-319) and Propyl Gallate (PG, E-310).
