Antioxidants are man-made or natural substances that may prevent or delay some types of cell damage ie they can tackle or inhibit oxidation. Synthetic antioxidants are suspect of being chemicals and are a threat to human life.https://www.kancor.com/category/products/specialty-ingredients/natural-anti-oxidants/oxikan/Natural Antioxidants can be found in fruits and vegetables and are divided into three groups: vitamins, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. Glutathione is the most powerful and important among the antioxidants our body produces. It has strong anti-aging properties, it protects cells, tissues, and organs of the body and it keeps them young. Sunflower seed and wheat germ oil are very rich in vitamin E.Phenols, an effective antioxidant with better properties than vitamins and beta carotene. It’s important for the prevention of inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancer development. Natural antioxidants can be found in fruits and vegetables and are divided into three groups: vitamins, carotenoids, and phenolic compounds. Glutathione is the most powerful and important among the antioxidants our body produces. It has strong anti-aging properties, it protects cells, tissues, and organs of the body and it keeps them young. It protects the liver from damage caused by the consumption of alcohol and drugs. It also strengthens the immune system, protects the crystalline lens of the eyes, and prevent degenerative diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Sunflower seed and wheat germ oil are very rich in vitamin E.Phenols, an effective antioxidant with better properties than vitamins and beta carotene. It’s important for the prevention of inflammation, atherosclerosis and cancer development. The red grains of pomegranates contain powerful antioxidants. The effective carotenoids are lycopene, a red pigment mostly found in tomatoes. Like all carotenoids, lycopene isn’t synthesized by our body, so, it should be taken with foods. Besides its antioxidant action, that is thought to have a positive effect on cellular aging, vascular diseases, and tumors, it protects the skin from ultraviolet light. Kancor has identified ways to tackle oxidation in food by providing natural solutions.OxiKan, a range of natural anti-oxidants is extracted from the finest Rosemary.OxiKan offers a way to extend shelf life the natural way without resorting to artificial or chemical means. Research has identified three main principles in Rosemary – Carnosic Acid, Carnosol and Rosmarinic Acid that inhibit the oxidation of other molecules by being oxidized themselves. This helped in extending the shelf life of the product by fighting rancidity in oils and fats and stabilizing natural colors. OxiKan CL, is a completely refined extract consisting of selective non-polar anti-oxidant molecules from rosemary. It is fully decolorized,deodourised and de-flavored extract of rosemary. Rosemary extracts are used to naturally extend the shelf life of food products. The absence of unwanted molecules such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, xanthophylls and other less oil soluble non-anti-oxidant molecules makes OxiKan CL stand out from the rest. 1.OxiKan CL is completely natural. 2. Highly refined the selective anti-oxidant composition. 3.Excellent oil solubility 4.High heat stability. 5.Available in oil soluble and water soluble formats.

The application can be done in bakery, beverages, dairy products, fat and oils products, meat and seafood, pharmaceuticals products, processed foods, etc.
