Indena, a company dedicated to the identification, development and production of plant-derived principles, is further expanding its presence in the food sector with a new and dedicated food division.
Oplodex, a new technology platform for food preservation, will be launched this year at Food Ingredients Europe. Based on what the company describes as innovative combinations of natural polyphenols endowed with strong antioxidant and chelating properties, the Oplodex range of food ingredients is, says Indena, designed to meet industry’s needs and consumers’ requests. Tested in several diverse applications, including meat and salt-sweet bakery products, Indena says that the Oplodex system was found to be particularly effective in enhancing the shelf life of food products. Extracts within the Oplodex range are said to be water soluble with high stability at different pHs and temperatures, thus, said the company, offering a reliable, sustainable and green alternative for food preservation.
