Solvitar™ improves freshness and appearance in food and beverages.
Trace heavy metals can react with ingredients present in processed food, resulting in several negative effects on freshness and appearance. Solvitar™ sequestering agent forms a stable complex with the trace metal ions and prevents undesirable food spoilage reactions without influencing taste or quality.
Trace metal ions are present in all processed food products from raw materials, process water and process equipment. Typical trace metals are copper, iron, manganese and zinc. They can interact with other compounds in food and cause food spoilage reactions like rancidity, discoloration and vitamin C degradation. Solvitar™ chelating agent forms a stable complex with the trace metal ions and prevents against these undesirable food spoilage reactions without influencing taste or quality.
A reaction between trace metal ions and other organic and inorganic components can be retarded or prevented by addition of Solvitar™ products to:
Sequestering agents like Solvitar™ control/reduce oxidation catalyzed by trace heavy metal ions. The function of Solvitar is to capture the heavy metals and:
Solvitar™ is a food grade calcium EDTA complex and produced according to the most stringent regulations. Safety plays an important role in food additives because unsafe food can cause a wide range of acute or life-long diseases. Solvitar™ is evaluated thoroughly and is safe for use in food.
