Consumer loyalty is eroded when the assumingly fresh bag of potato chips, box of cereal, biscuit or cake mix is rancid, discolored or tastes stale. Such indications of oxidation can be common in foods that contain vegetable oils or animal fats.
Food grade antioxidants slow the oxidation, extend the shelflife and stabilize the refined oils and fats in baked goods, cereal-based snack foods, sauces, dehydrated soups and broths, processed nuts, seasonings and even dietary supplements.
