CapBlock® is a 100% natural, clean-label ingredient that acts as a potent antimicrobial agent, mold and bacteria inhibitor, and shelf-life extender. It replaces synthetic preservatives like sorbates and benzoates, while meeting consumer demand for natural, non-GMO, and allergen-free options. It is produced through natural fermentation processes and is available in two variants: Cultured Brown Rice and Cultured Dextrose.

CapBlock® works by producing short-chain organic acids (such as propionic, acetic, and lactic acids) and other metabolites through fermentation. These compounds lower pH, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, molds, yeasts, and microorganisms, and extend product freshness without affecting taste or texture.

Benefits include extended shelf life, enhanced food safety, flavor improvement, cost reduction due to low dosage rates, and support for clean-label claims. It is also gut-friendly, with prebiotic properties in some variants, and helps reduce food waste by preventing spoilage.

Yes, both variants are all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free, and allergen-free. They have a long history of safe use in food and are produced via controlled fermentation with probiotics or bacteria like Propionibacterium freudenreichii.

CapBlock® is versatile and used in baked goods, meat and poultry products, dairy, beverages, snacks, sauces, dressings, prepared meals, confectionery, fermented foods, and pet food. It integrates easily into hot or cold processes.
