Natural Antioxidants
Plant-derived antioxidants for stabilizing fats, oils, and fat-containing ingredients against oxidative rancidity. Suitable for clean-label formulations and natural preservation positioning.
Oxidative rancidity is one of the primary causes of shelf life deterioration in pet food. Fats and oils exposed to air, heat, and light undergo oxidation that produces off-flavours, reduces palatability, and destroys fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K). Antioxidants interrupt this oxidation cascade to extend shelf life and maintain nutritional integrity.
Natural antioxidants — derived from plants rather than synthesized chemically — are preferred by manufacturers targeting clean-label formulations. Rosemary extract provides carnosic acid and rosmarinic acid as active antioxidants. Mixed tocopherols provide the full spectrum of naturally occurring vitamin E isomers as a stabilizer. Atora supplies both in liquid form from approved Chinese suppliers, with full TDS and COA documentation.
Available options may include the following natural antioxidants. Active content and application rate are confirmed per product and formulation.
Alternative active content levels may be available on inquiry. Contact us to confirm specifications for your application.
Antioxidant effectiveness depends on active content — a product labelled "rosemary extract" must have confirmed carnosic acid levels to perform. Atora provides TDS with active content declaration and batch COA so your QA team can verify what they are applying.
