Kemin study offers clean label alternative to synthetic antioxidants in cooked frozen meat
Kemin Industries, a leading provider of shelf-life extension and food safety solutions that help manufacturers protect their food and beverage products, shared results of a recent study that evaluated the effectiveness of natural plant extracts in comparison to synthetic antioxidant options in protecting foods from oxidation.
The study examined lipid oxidation and off-flavor development in cooked frozen pork sausage patties over a period of 12 months. Results demonstrated that clean label alternatives such as FORTIUM® RGT12, a blend of rosemary and green tea, prevent oxidation as effectively as synthetic options, while maintaining higher scores with sensory panelists.
