Green tea extracts contain three active components: catechins, epigallocatechin-3-gallate and epicatechin-3-gallateflavonoids. They act as oxygen scavengers to bind and neutralize lipid radicals by hydroxyl groups. Catechins specifically have antioxidant activity via chelating redox active transition-metal ions. Whereas polyphenolic compounds (hydroxyl and carboxyl groups) are able to bind iron and copper. All in all Guardox™ GT displays similar performance as chemical antioxidants.
TURKEY PATTIES
200 ppm of Guardox™ GT provided same antioxidant protection as 40 ppm BHA in chilled (4°C) roasted turkey burger patties during storage of 13 days.
CHICKEN PATTIES
250 ppm of Guardox™ GT provided effective oxidation resistance and color stabilization in chicken patties for up to 22 days.
