Solvitar™
Sequestering Agent
Give food and beverages the shelf life they deserve
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.
