Overview

FoodCare® FCABFL is a clear liquid processing aid. A blend of European Union and FDA Food Approved GRAS status, label friendly fruit acidulants which are synergistically blended to inhibit yeast  and mold contamination in a wide variety of prepared beverages and wines, facilitating a longer shelf life without affecting the organoleptic and sensory properties with no loss of nutritional value of freshly processed fruit and vegetable beverages.

Primary Function:

The primary function of FoodCare® FCABFL  80% is to protect against Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, yeast and mold and stabilise non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages such as:

• Carbonated or non-carbonated beverages,
• Isotonic sports beverages,

• Flavoured waters.
• Wine

The essential action of the active ingredients is to rupture the outer micro-organism membrane allowing entry of the acidulant blend which lowers the inner cell pH thus denaturing the genetic material within the cell (even at lowest concentrations), leading to the destruction of micro-organisms.
