What We Supply

Antioxidant Systems Designed Around Your Oxidation Challenge

Oxidation is the leading cause of micronutrient potency loss, oil rancidity, colour change, and shortened shelf life in fortified food, supplement, and premix products. Effective antioxidant protection is not a single ingredient — it is a system designed around the specific oxidation pathways active in your matrix.

We formulate natural antioxidant systems (mixed tocopherols, rosemary extract, ascorbyl palmitate, green tea polyphenols, citric acid) for clean-label and organic-certified products, and conventional antioxidant systems (BHA, BHT, TBHQ, propyl gallate) for applications where potency and cost efficiency are the primary drivers. Synergistic combinations — pairing a chain-breaking antioxidant with a metal chelating agent — consistently outperform single-ingredient approaches.

Our technical service covers antioxidant system selection, dose optimisation in your specific matrix, and accelerated stability study design to confirm the effectiveness of the antioxidant system throughout your declared shelf life — not just at time of manufacture.

Product Range

Antioxidant & Preservative Types We Manufacture

Natural Antioxidant Systems

Mixed tocopherols (d-alpha, gamma, delta), rosemary extract (carnosic acid standardised), green tea polyphenol extract (EGCG), and ascorbyl palmitate — individually or as synergistic blends for oil-based and fat-containing applications.

Applications

Clean LabelOrganic CertifiedSupplements

Synthetic Antioxidant Premixes

BHA, BHT, TBHQ, and propyl gallate at FSSAI and Codex maximum use levels, formulated into fat-soluble concentrate premixes for edible oil, fat, and bakery fat applications.

Applications

Food ManufacturingEdible OilsFats & Shortenings

Synergistic Antioxidant Blends

Optimised combinations pairing chain-breaking antioxidants (tocopherols, BHA) with metal chelating synergists (citric acid, EDTA) — delivering 2–4× the oxidative protection of single-ingredient antioxidants at equivalent use levels.

Applications

Premix ProtectionFunctional FoodsLipid Systems

Vitamin C Antioxidant Systems

L-ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate, and ascorbyl palmitate antioxidant premixes for water-based beverage, colour-protection, and fruit product applications, including encapsulated forms for controlled release.

Applications

BeveragesWater-Based ProductsColour Preservation

Metal Chelating Antioxidant Agents

EDTA (disodium, calcium disodium), citric acid, and phytic acid chelating systems that deactivate pro-oxidant metal ions (iron, copper) in fortified food and vitamin premix applications.

Applications

Fortified FoodsPremix StabilityBeverages

Encapsulated Antioxidant Premixes

Encapsulated tocopherol and rosemary extract premixes in dry-powder form for direct blending into dry food mixes, extruded products, and supplement powders where liquid antioxidant incorporation is impractical.

Technical Capabilities

How We Design & Manufacture Antioxidant Systems

Antioxidant system effectiveness depends on understanding your matrix, not just adding a standard additive. Our technical approach starts with oxidation pathway analysis and ends with validated shelf-life confirmation data.

Oxidative Stability Testing (Rancimat/OSI)

Automated oil stability induction period measurement quantifies antioxidant protection efficacy in fat-containing matrices, enabling data-driven antioxidant dose optimisation.

PV / AV / TOTOX Monitoring

Peroxide value, anisidine value, and TOTOX tracking across accelerated stability studies validates antioxidant system performance over the full declared shelf life.

Natural Antioxidant Sourcing & Standardisation

Rosemary extract standardised to ≥20% carnosic acid, mixed tocopherols to confirmed alpha/gamma/delta ratio — so the active component level is consistent batch to batch.

Synergy Optimisation

Experimental design-based approach to antioxidant blend ratio optimisation — finding the minimum effective dose of each component in a synergistic combination.

Regulatory Compliance Calculation

Antioxidant level calculation against FSSAI, EU, Codex, and US maximum use levels in finished product — ensuring additive compliant labelling in all target markets.

GMP Manufacturing & Traceability

All antioxidant premixes manufactured with full raw material CoAs, in-process testing, and finished product analytical verification — batch records available for regulatory audit.
