Where Natural Antioxidants Meet High-Heat Demands

Oils and fats are at the heart of food manufacturing, shaping texture, mouthfeel, and flavour. However, exposure to heat, air, and time makes them highly prone to oxidation, which can lead to off-flavours, colour degradation, and reduced shelf life. For brands moving away from synthetic antioxidants such as TBHQ or BHA, the challenge is clear: preserving quality—naturally.

OxiKan®, Mane Kancor’s plant-based antioxidant, offers effective natural protection for oils and fats. Designed to perform under demanding conditions, it helps maintain freshness, stability, and sensory appeal across a wide range of applications.

The Natural Advantage

Refined from rosemary using advanced extraction techniques, OxiKan® harnesses the power of carnosic acid and carnosol—nature’s most potent antioxidant compounds. The result is a clean-label, high-performance solution that delivers reliable oxidation control while supporting the transition away from synthetic antioxidants.

OxiKan® works silently in the background, keeping your products consistent, fresh, and appealing.

Proven Performance

Validated through global testing methods such as Rancimat and Oxitest, OxiKan® consistently matches or exceeds the performance of synthetic antioxidants.

Objective: To compare the impact of OxiKan and TBHQ in the shelf-life enhancement of different vegetable oils.

Results show that OxiKan® delivers comparable protection with the advantage of being 100% natural.

Inference: In all the four different types of oils, OxiKan has demonstrated an increase in shelf-life by at least 2 times.

Applications

OxiKan® helps extend shelf-life and maintain quality in a wide range of fat-based systems, including:

• Continuous and batch frying oils
• Margarine and plant-based spreads
• Emulsified sauces, dressings, and creamy dips
• Stored oils, flavoured oils, and custom blends
