Antioxidants are compounds that prevent or slow down oxidation, a chemical reaction that can damage food and beverages by causing rancidity, color changes, and nutrient loss. They help extend shelf life and maintain quality.Below are the two types of antioxidants
Natural Antioxidants – Found in vitamins (C, E), polyphenols (in fruits, tea), and carotenoids (in carrots, tomatoes).
Synthetic Antioxidants – Such as BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole), BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), and TBHQ, commonly used in processed foods.
Ascorbic Acid
Ascorbic Acid, commonly known as Vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin and potent antioxidant essential for collagen synthesis, immune function, and protection against oxidative stress. It is widely used as a nutritional supplement, food preservative, and additive to enhance shelf life and nutritional value. Naturally present in citrus fruits and various vegetables, ascorbic acid is also important in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and animal feed industries due to its health benefits and preservative qualities.
Citric Acid Anhydrous
Citric Acid Anhydrous is a white, crystalline organic acid widely used across food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. It is the anhydrous form of citric acid, meaning it contains no water molecules in its crystal lattice, resulting in higher purity and more concentrated acidic properties compared to its monohydrate form. Derived from natural sources like citrus fruits or produced via microbial fermentation, citric acid anhydrous is valued for its sour taste, excellent chelating ability, and buffering capacity. It serves as a natural preservative, pH adjuster, antioxidant synergist, and cleaning agent, making it a versatile ingredient in many formulations.
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic Acid is a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid classified as a phenolic compound with potent antioxidant properties. It exists as a pale yellow to light brown crystalline powder with a faint characteristic odor. Ferulic Acid is commonly found in the cell walls of various plants such as rice bran, wheat, oats, coffee, apples, and fruits, where it plays a role in plant structural integrity and defense against environmental stress. It is valued across multiple industries—cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, food, and agriculture—due to its ability to neutralize free radicals, absorb UV radiation, and exhibit anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities.
