Potent Natural Preservative — Mould, Yeast & Bacteria Blocker
CapBlock® Liquid Plant Extract - LS100
CapBlock® Liquid Plant Extract is produced via the fermentation of cultured plant extracts — a proprietary blend of non-GMO spices, seeds and fruits. These concentrated botanical extracts provide rich antioxidants and anti-microbial properties that extend the shelf life of products, whilst also positively impacting flavour sensory.
Food that spoils before its time. Beverages, meats and baked goods that rely on chemical preservatives like sorbates and benzoates. Products that fail clean label scrutiny at retail. CapBlock® Liquid Plant Extract LS100 solves all three — preventing the growth of bacteria, yeast and mould from a single natural ingredient declared simply as Natural Flavors, with no E-number on your label.
CapBlock® Liquid Plant Extract has a mild, smooth flavour profile — specifically developed to be ideal for meat applications and foods which are sensitive to sourness flavour profiles. It is water soluble, amber in colour, and effective at low dosage rates of 0.3% to 2.0% of total formulation weight.
It contains no artificial additives, preservatives or synthetic ingredients. 100% natural, gluten free, allergen free, Non-GMO, Halal, Kosher, SQF-certified and vegan suitable. Manufactured in Australia from Australian-sourced ingredients.
