Antioxidants improve the flavor and shelf life of foods by slowing down the lipid oxidation process and consequently delaying the development of rancidity. The need for effective solutions against lipid oxidation is growing due to the rise of unsaturated fats as a healthier alternative to saturated fats, increased use of environmentally friendly packaging materials, and more complex food processing from the convenience food market.
Gillco's range of Antioxidants includes the GUARDIAN® line of Rosemary and Green Tea extracts and Tocopherols and Verdad® & Origin™ celery and cherry powder extracts.
