CapBlock® Liquid Plant Total Extract - TE100

CapBlock® Liquid Plant Total Extract TE100 is a super-strong anti-microbial and anti-bacterial agent that also acts as a natural flavour enhancer. A complex polymer derived from plant cell walls, this clean-label botanical blend of lignin fractions is formulated to extend product shelf life and reduce spoilage caused by yeast, mould, listeria, and both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

It is an amber liquid with a characteristic tea-like aroma, fully soluble in water, and stable across a pH range of 4.8–6.2. Because it is itself a natural preservative, it contains no added preservatives, artificial colours or artificial flavours, and is declared on the ingredient label simply as “Natural Flavors.”

Used at 0.2–1.0% inclusion across a wide range of applications — baked goods, meat and plant-based meat, cheeses, salad dressings, condiments, dips and spreads — CapBlock® TE100 gives formulators a single clean-label tool to replace synthetic preservatives without triggering an E-number declaration.
