Arjuna Natural Extracts Ltd has introduced X-tend, a complete, natural, formulation-specific preservative designed to increase the shelf-life of chilled-meat products and ensure food safety.

The company carried out a number of bench trials prior to the launch and the results were encouraging, benefiting meat manufacturers in a big way, Benny Antony, Joint Managing Director said.

The meat industry, he said, is increasingly seeking more ready-to-use solutions that are tailored and natural, allowing for clean label products. X-tend is offered in both liquid and powder forms and it is a comprehensive, natural solution safeguarding taste, colour and product safety.

The company’s R&D team has also developed a range of natural preservatives that do not change the organoleptic properties of food and beverage products such as bread, yoghurt, cheese sausage, humus, mayonnaise and vegetable oils, fruit juices, and fruit pulp.

A GMP-certified, SAP-driven company, Arjuna has achieved international certifications including, ISO22000, Kosher and Halal.
