The Kalsec© Duralox© Oxidation Management System is designed to provide oxidative stability in specific processing conditions and applications.
In a fish oil emulsion system used for a dairy application, the Kalsec® Duralox® Oxidation Management System reduced hydroperoxide formation by 62% compared to the control.
Hydroperoxides are precursors to off-flavor and odor formation in foods and beverages. The high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids in marine oils makes these oils extremely susceptible to oxidation, resulting in free radical formation, off-flavors, odors and reduced shelf life.
