TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES AT A GLANCE

How We Stress Products

• Accelerated & real-time shelf-life testing

• Cold and frozen storage chambers for long-term evaluations

• OSI and OXITEST benchmarking for fats, oils, and dry blends

How We Measure Change

• HPLC & GC quantification of
actives (BHA, BHT, tocopherols, rosemary, green tea, acerola, etc.)

• Measurement of primary &
secondary oxidation by-products: peroxides, aldehydes (including hexanals), TBARS, free fatty acids

What It Means for Consumers

• Myoglobin breakdown for meat
color performance

• Flavor/off-flavor compound identification

• Texture, color, and sensory
stability tracking

• Linking analytical data to the way products look, taste, and smell.
