Kemin introduces GT-FORT, a natural flavor that can be used as an alternative to synthetic antioxidants and tocopherols commonly used in frying oils. GT-FORT is a green tea-based, water-soluble liquid extract that is oil dispersible and effectively slows the deterioration of frying oil, reducing oxidative rancidity even at high temperatures. The unique multi-stage extraction process used to manufacture GT-FORT maximizes the polyphenols, which provide effective antioxidant properties, and delay oxidation in a variety of fried food applications.
