Antioxidants are used in the food and beverage industry to keep products fresh and safe for consumers to eat. At Gillco, we are proud to source Corbion’s line of innovative and label friendly antioxidant offerings to our customers.
Antioxidants can be particularly helpful in meat applications, whether it’s fresh ground beef, sausages, or deli meats. They can delay rancidity and oxidation, stabilize product color (ex: keep meat staying red for longer), and extend shelf-life with spoilage inhibition*.
One key factor for many consumers in fresh meat is color. Through propriety research, the Corbion Insights team has found that many consumers see fresh meat that has begun to brown as unsafe to consume. This is a great opportunity for processors to implement a quality antioxidant solution that can retain that appealing bright color and flavor in their products by delaying oxidation.*
Corbion Case Studies
Our line of Corbion antioxidants provide highly potent, consumer-friendly solutions for effective plant-based, antioxidant activity, delaying rancidity and color stabilization.
*Corbion’s Verdad Powder AC34 preserves the bright red color of fresh ground beef, protecting it from oxidation and light-induced fading.
*Corbion’s Verdad Powder AC34 extends the shelf life of ground beef by inhibiting lipid oxidation and delaying subsequent development of rancid off-notes and flavors. Here, samples were taken from Verdad Powder AC34 treated or untreated overwrap packaged beef samples stored in a lighted display case at 3 degrees Celsius, analyzed over an 11-day time course for the presence of malondialdehyde, a marker of lipid oxidation.
*When compared to market reference products in oven roasted turkey, a mild flavored product, Origin Powder RO2 had greater overall acceptability among sensory panelists. Corbion’s rosemary is sourced from Morocco and is especially effective at inhibiting rancidity development and subsequent off-flavor development.
*Pairing an antioxidant with a buffered vinegar helps you extend shelf life by considering both
microbial spoilage and product oxidation.
