Food additives are one of the important products in the development of the food industry. They can add color and flavor to food and extend the shelf life. But the average consumer is very disliked with foods with more additives. Foods without preservatives generally have a short shelf life and are susceptible to bacterial contamination. If the food can bring its own antibacterial effect, it is better to have a preservative and enhance the shelf life. Recently, each company has introduced a broad-spectrum antibacterial flavor technology derived from plants, which can resist Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria, molds, fungi and yeasts.
PLT Health Solutions Inc. has introduced a new flavoring technology, PhytoShield, which is said to provide a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity that enhances the shelf life of packaged foods and beverages. The company says it has been actively developing natural flavor technology that is cleaner than some synthetic preservatives.
According to the media, the technology was developed by FSI, and the full-spectrum antibacterial property comes from the synergistic action of bioflavonoids, polyphenols, perfumes and other organic acids. PLT says the technology is resistant to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, molds, fungi and yeast.
PLT deputy general De Winstag said that FSI has developed a preservative-free antibacterial spice through commonly used natural ingredients. He believes that this can solve many problems that artificial flavors and even other natural flavors cannot solve, such as the problem of easy rancidity. . Moreover, these products are all genetically modified, organic, and can withstand a pH of 2-10, with a maximum temperature resistance of 130 degrees Celsius. As more and more companies turn away from synthetic fragrances and switch to natural fragrances, this offers opportunities for new products, such as the use of FSI's new formula to protect the quality of the product and extend the shelf life of the product. For companies that still use synthetic fragrances, PLT can provide cleaning labels.
