Sequestrants Market Segmented By product type such as Synthetic, Natural in Dry and Liquid Form
Sequestrants are the food additives that act as a food preservative by the chelating action with the metal ions such as iron, copper, nickel. These metal ions are responsible for the oxidation of fats in the food, affecting the quality and stability of food. Oxidation of fats and other components of the food leads to the rancid odor of the food.
The metal ingestion into the food is mainly from the packaging material. Aside from the use of sequestrants for enhancing quality and stability of the food products, sequestrants are also used to lessen the absorption of the metal ions responsible for the food rancidity or the removal of the same ions by the formation of colloids.
