Westport, CT
NatureSeal, Inc., will showcase Reducit, its newest product for maintaining the fresh qualities of cut potatoes at PMA, later this month.
Reducit is a natural product comprised of FDA GRAS ingredients that prevent browning in cut potatoes for up to two days. The product extends the shelf life of cut potatoes by reducing the pH, without imparting an off-taste.
An independent research conducted by the University of Maine comparing Reducit with citric acid to reduce acrylamide formation on fried potatoes showed Reducit to be more effective than citric acid without the associated sour taste the citric acid imparts. In addition, the fried potatoes dipped in Reducit maintained a preferable texture over the potatoes dipped in citric acid prior to frying.
The product is safe and a natural alternative to sulfates.
