Food, supplements, cosmetical, petfood and feed preparations are composed of a wide variety of ingredients, many of which contain lipid substances, such as fats and oils from vegetable or animal origin.
These components are quite sensible to oxidation processes and they get rancid easily thereby affecting not only the organoleptic properties, but also the nutritive value or even safety of the finished product.
Although oxidation is a natural occurring process, it is critical important for the food and cosmetical industry to be able to postpone these reactions as long as possible.
