Solvitar™

Chelating Agent, Preservative, Sequestering Agent, Stabilizer

The reaction of trace metal ions with both organic and inorganic components can be retarded or prevented by the addition of Solvitar which will promote color retention, texture retention, product clarity and act as an anti-gushing agent. It will prevent flavor loss, discoloration and texture changes.; Furthermore Solvitar can control oxidation catalyzed by trace heavy metal ions and act as a preservative. Oxidation is a radical chain reaction where free radicals are formed by exposure to air or light. The reaction is catalyzed by free metal ions in the food, which speed up the formation of radicals and thus reduce the shelf-life of the food product dramatically. In fat based products dangerous aldehydes are formed by the chain reaction leading to rancidity.; To prevent oxidation of food and beverages, all trace metals need to be captured by Solvitar. Once the metal ions are sequestered, only limited amounts of anti-oxidant need to be added to prevent oxidation completely.; Otherwise known as Calcium Disodium EDTA, Solvitar has been proven to be more effective than other type of chelating agents in stabilizing food and beverages.
