All food, feed, and personal care products containing fats or oils are subject to oxidation. Antioxidants delay this damaging process and improve the product’s shelf-life and nutritional integrity. Vitablend formulates perfect antioxidant systems, in which science, experience, and innovation play a vital role. Vitablend antioxidants provide trust for all aspects of human and animal nutrition and in personal care.

Vitablend offers a large range of natural (Tocopherols, Rosemary Extract, Botanical extracts…) and traditional (BHA, BHT, TBHQ, PG..) antioxidant systems, we can also provide a full technical and analytical support to help our customers finding the right solution at the right dosage.

Pet Food

We offer a dedicated range of both natural- and traditional phenolic-based antioxidants to protect your pet food products from the effects of oxidation and to control pathogens. Vitablend understands that manufacturing pet food products requires more than just ingredients. Our antioxidant ranges are fully supported by comprehensive internal meal stability and fat analysis, together with pump installation and pump calibration service, giving our ‘Vit-Assurance’ to the quality of your pet foods.

Rendering, Protein Meal & Fats

Dry proteins derived from a rendering process, for example Fish meal or Poultry meal, are prone to oxidation which starts early in the process due to factors such as heat and mechanical action and the condition of the raw material. To manufacture a high quality dry feed, protection from this oxidation needs to start as early in the process as possible.

Vitablend offers the correct and proven antioxidant systems for pre-and post-cook addition, or via an optimized combination of both. Treatment can be based on traditional antioxidants such as BHA, BHT and Propyl gallate or, via natural systems , such as natural mixed Tocopherol and Rosemary extracts as well as our new cost effective hybrid systems Pet Safe. Whatever your system of choice we can help to evaluate via our Vit-Assurance analytical support.

Aquaculture

Prevention of oxidation in aquaculture feeds is a priority quality issue, irreversibly altering the quality of feed, causing a reduction in the nutritional quality and the loss of expensive carotenoid pigment when used. After the cessation of Ethoxyquin use by EFSA, effective and efficient antioxidant alternatives were in high demand. Vitablend designs effective natural and synthetic antioxidant systems with a strong consideration to cost-in-use, creating proven and viable options for the replacement of ethoxyquin.

Feed Fats and Premixes

Maintaining the nutritional composition of feed premixes requires special attention. Antioxidants have a vital role in preserving the nutritional and compositional components within a feed premix – aiding and preserving the health and well-being of animals. Vitablend has over 20 years of expertise in natural and traditional antioxidant systems for feed products and premixes.
