Organic approved formulas
Food approved as additives or processing aids.
Fresh produce should look as good as it tastes. But the moment you cut, peel, or slice it, nature fights back: browning, softening, water loss, cracks, bruises. Shelf-life shrinks. Quality drops.
The culprit? Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) — the enzyme that sparks those unappealing browning reactions.
For years, the industry relied on sulphites and antioxidants like ascorbic acid. They worked, but at a cost: allergens, off-flavours, compromised texture. Hardly the recipe for consumer confidence.
Colour retention | Texture and firmness | Reduced moisture loss / purge | Natural aroma and flavour – no chemical after taste | Enzymatic browning control
All blends are manufactured in the UK and approved as processing aids, with some permitted for organic production.
