Natural Basil Flavour

Blendtek offers a range of natural preservation options that are clean label, protect against various microorganisms and maintain freshness and flavour. One of our most innovative and effective options is natural basil flavour.

A significant part of the foods we consume like meat, ready meals, dressings, plant-based foods, and more are perishable by nature and intrinsically have a limited shelf-life. Additionally, microorganisms are all around and proliferate rapidly, so at one point they will take over and render these perishable foods inedible. To prolong the shelf-life of foods, protect them and preserve their freshness, we need preservation. Preservation not only prolongs the shelf-life of foods but also ensures food safety, helps maintain foods’ nutritional value and greatly supports food waste reduction.

• Meat - both cooked and uncooked meats need antimicrobials to help control bacterial growth and prevent the proliferation of pathogens such as Listeria monocytogenes. Changing regulations limit the use of buffered vinegar in products that are labeled as natural. Natural basil flavour, which can also be labeled as natural flavour, has proven efficacy to maintain and even extend shelf life when converting from conventional modified vinegar products.
• Prepared Foods - combining various raw materials into a prepared meal like a lasagna or other home meal replacement (HMR) products comes with challenges to maintain health, convenience and food safety. Our natural flavour solutions can help you get there.
• Dips and Dressings - optimize your product distribution and maximize your revenue by extending the shelf life of your products with natural flavour.
• Plant-based Foods - as with meat, protecting plant-based foods from spoilage is critical, and the added scrutiny for clean label options makes natural flavour solutions very appealing.

Natural basil flavour is available as either a liquid or powdered. Liquid is easily dispersed but may not be appropriate for example in a dry spice blend. The powder is not as concentrated as the liquid form so the dosage needs to be adjusted.

Ensuring the safety, quality, and freshness of foods and beverages poses significant challenges with respect to controlling microorganisms. Blendtek offers clean label solutions to achieve the perfect balance between safe and delicious foods, meeting the industry’s requirements on shelf-life and labeling requirements.
