High fat levels in baked goods often create instability and compromised shelf life.
As a result, the original freshness and profile of the baked good is lost, and off-flavors and aromas are generated. In the chart below, a peanut butter cookie (control) has lost some of its consumer appeal due to the reduction of fresh peanut aroma and flavor with increased oxidized off flavor and aroma.
Herbalox® Rosemary Extracts maintain the fresh peanut aroma and flavor in the cookie for increased shelf life and longer consumer appeal. Herbalox® Rosemary Extracts can easily be incorporated in both a nut and the dough for improved protection.
Providing a cleaner consumer label while maintaining flavor and aroma in cereals can be a challenge. Natural antioxidants can often fall short of expectations due to performance and objectionable flavor contribution. Herbalox® Rosemary Extracts are easily added to extruded cereals to not only reduce the development of off, rancid and cardboard-like flavor notes, but also to increase the shelf life without compromising the flavor of the cereal.
