Kemin (Des Moines, IA) is expanding its options for clean-label preservatives and natural shelf-life extenders. At next week’s Institute of Food Technologists Annual Meeting and Food Expo in Chicago, the company will introduce Fortium RVC, a combination rosemary extract and ascorbic acid ingredient.
Fortium RVC is part of Kemin’s line of antioxidants that includes cleaner-label and naturally source shelf-life solutions. The company says the new ingredient, Fortium RVC, offers superior suspension properties in oils over other competitors, “resulting in longer shelf life.”
