NATURAL ANTIOXIDANT SOLUTION FOR EXTENDED SHELF LIFE

Preserving Freshness Naturally

OxiKan, a rosemary extract-based antioxidant from FSL & Mane Kanor, extends the shelf life of food naturally, offering a natural alternative to synthetic preservatives. By preventing oxidation, it keeps products fresher for longer without altering taste, colour or aroma.

Proven Performance & Key Benefits

  • Doubles Shelf Life – Oxidative stability tests using Rancimat Metrohm show that OxiKan extends the shelf life of vegetable oils by up to 100%, making it a more natural-friendly replacement for synthetic antioxidants.
  • Completely Natural – Free from synthetic additives, aligning with the growing global demand for natural food preservation.
  • Versatile Applications – Effectively used in vegetable oils, seasonings, baked goods, snacks, processed meat, poultry, seafood and dairy products.
  • High-Temperature Stability – Protects food quality even in frying, baking and high-heat processing.

 

Addressing Industry Challenges

With global vegetable oil prices rising by 20-30% over the past year and supply chain disruptions affecting availability, manufacturers face the challenge of preserving food quality and reducing waste. OxiKan stabilizes oils, preventing rancidity and oxidation, ensuring extended usability of raw materials.

 

  • Edible oils make up 30-40% of many food products – protecting them from oxidation is crucial for product integrity.
  • 40% of global food waste is due to spoilage – natural antioxidants like OxiKan can help reduce this significantly.
